Glossary of Key Terms
A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z
(A)
Accuracy:
Freedom from error; Accuracy describes an ability and a state of being that deliberately
enjoins itself to the perfection of Christ and accomplishment of the Finish, so that by
diligent application, God‟s desired result is produced.
Active Engagement:
Invading the spirit realm of a city or region to pull down strongholds to help churches
breakthrough and function as strong governing churches.
Amalekite Spirit:
This term applies to that section of the assembly which is cut off from the forward
advance of God‟s Church because of their unwillingness to move on with the purposes of
God. They are hearers of the Word but not doers, since they allow natural circumstances
to deter them.
Annihilate:
a. To destroy completely
b. To reduce to nonexistence.
c. To defeat decisively; vanquish.
d. To nullify or render void; abolish.
Antichrist:
That which is against Christ: The spirit of Antichrist is a mentality within the structure of
the Church. It is described as the man of sin, the son of perdition 1 Pet.2:3), the little horn
(Dan. 7:8, 20), and essentially represents a false manifestation of Divine, supernatural
power, wisdom and intent. Christ comes from the Greek, Christos, or “anointed one‟. The
anointing is an instructive, resident empowerment from God to unlock the principles of
the kingdom with an end to produce amalgamation with God and His express purposes
(1 John 2:20, 27). The anointing expresses God‟s opinion on all matters. The corporate
unity is likened to the anointing (Ps. 133:1).

The Antichrist represents therefore, and oppositional flow to this process or power.
I John says that the Antichrist is coming, and many have come already. It is in the
context of the last days, however, as God‟s reformation produces refinement in character
and understanding in the Church, that the true nature and power of this spirit will be
revealed.
Apostles:
„Imperfect men who live among us whose lives carry a technology (grace) that can
unlock the building dimension of God in a corporate context‟ (Dr. Noel Woodroffe).
They are neither infallible nor superhuman beings but are “naturally supernatural‟
imparting a grace from God that activates knowledge skill, creativity, spiritual force,
government, leadership, insight, accuracy and performance in accordance with the
exactness of God.
2 Corinthians 12:12 – Truly the sign of an Apostle were wrought among you in all
patience, in signs, and wonders and mighty deeds.
Apostolic:
The apostolic anointing is given by God for the building of the Church, as the first of the
five-fold ministries, which are needed for its perfect functioning. The office entails
outward ministry to the Church throughout the earth and is not confined to one individual
part of the body or to one specific type of gifting. The apostle also plays a key role in the
local church.
Quite apart from the original apostles, it is clear from the scripture that the apostolic
office is a continuing one within the Church, as are those of prophet, evangelist, pastor
and teacher (Ephesians 4 verse 11). The apostolic ministry is pioneering and
foundational, essential to the building process in the Church and to its Reformation in
line with the continuous revelation of scripture. Apostles father many sons and daughters
who, in turn will rise up to be fathers and mothers and ensure the generational transfer
that is so essential to the end-time church.
Apostolic Acceleration:
Apostolic Acceleration is the ability to expedite kingdom ministry in a productive and
efficient manner than normally expected, via through application of apostolic teaching,
lying on of hands (impartation), and prophetic ministry. 1 Timothy 4:13-15- Till I come;
give attention to reading to exhortation, to doctrine. Do not neglect the gift that is in you
which was given to you by prophecy with laying on of the hands of the eldership.
Meditate on these things; give yourself entirely to them, that your progress may be
evident to all.

Apostolic Churches:
Apostolic Churches are churches that recognize and relate to modern-day apostles and are
active in varying forms of apostolic ministry. They develop and send out teams for
advancement of the kingdom. Apostolic churches are governmental. They build
appropriate structures to facilitate the will and purposes of God. They are global in their
overall mentality.
Apostolic Competence:
Apostolic Competence: is the God-given capacity to access His design and the power to
build in accordance with it. Wisdom from God takes on a very specific meaning in this
context and infuses this dual role.
Apostolic Covering:
The apostolic anointing provides a covering (protection) for those who submit to it. It is
not the will of God that believers be lost to backsliding, the world, the flesh, or the devil.
John 6:39- And this is the Father’s will which hast sent me, that all of which he hath
given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up at the last day.
Apostolic Draw:
Apostolic (sent) people depend upon the Lord to draw people. Apostolic churches have
the ability to draw many people because the apostolic anointing is a gathering anointing.
This accounts for the often-quick growth of these churches. The message and the witness
of the churches draw people. This drawing power is resident within the apostolic
anointing, John 6:44- No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me
draw him; and I will raise him up at the last day. Acts 2:41, 47- Then those who gladly
received his word; were baptized; and that day about three thousand souls were added to
them.
Apostolic Equalization:
Apostolic Equalization: is an equitable distribution of revelation among apostolic leaders
in every continent, culture, and ethnic group.
Apostolic Fathers:
(1 Corinthians 4:15) Paul identified himself as a spiritual father to the Corinthian church.
Father‟s birth, protects, train, and provide. Job is a type of an apostolic father (Job 29).
He was a father to the poor, and he delivered the fatherless. Fathers will produce spiritual
sons and daughters.

Apostolic Grace:
The gift of apostleship is given by grace. Apostolic ministry is a ministry of grace. One
cannot walk in this ministry without the necessary grace to do so. Those who relate to
and partner with apostles can be partakers of this grace. Great grace was upon the early
church. This indicates an unusual amount of grace released through apostolic ministry.
Paul recognized the grace that was upon his life to be an apostle. Apostles have the
ability to release grace to the church (1 Corinthians 1:30)
Apostolic Impartation:
Apostolic Impartation: is the resource that gives momentum and breakthrough power for
the next phase of God‟s Reformation movings in the earth.
Apostolic Network:
An apostolic network is a gathering of autonomous churches, ministers, ministries and
kingdom organizations that are voluntarily united around a common vision determined by
a called, gifted and spiritually functioning apostle. It is headed by a functioning apostle or
apostolic team.
An apostolic network first of all is not a denomination though there are some similarities.
A denomination is an organization established for the purpose of preserving and
propagating specific doctrines and practices around which it is built. It establishes a
leadership structure to provide a place of order, relationship and identity for the ministries
that associate with it. An apostolic network is a gathering of ministers, ministries,
kingdom organizations and churches interrelated together to link their vision, resources,
ministries and people in on unified purpose while still actively developing and not losing
hold of their unique, individual, specific visions and purposes in the Lord. These groups
are unified in their access to the grace of an apostolic ministry which they recognize as
their primary, but not singular, source of impartation and revelation. They move in
voluntary accountability to mutually agree to apostolic oversight and counsel based on
relationship, while still maintaining the essential autonomy of their individual ministries.
A functioning apostle or apostolic team heads it. Matthew 13:47 – Again, the kingdom of
heaven is like unto a net, that was cast into the sea, and gathered of every kind:

Apostolic People:
Apostolic people are Saints who support and participate in apostolic ministry, but are not
actual apostles. Apostolic people work with apostles to reach the lost through dynamic
outreach, church planting and nurturing. Acts 2:41-47-v-44; Now, all who believed were
together and had all things in common and sold their possessions and goods and divided
them among all as anyone had need.
Apostolic Priesthood – Apostolic people are the apostolic priesthood after the order of
Melchisedec, as oppose to the Levitical priesthood in its limitations and liturgy. Aaron‟s
order is primarily for its‟ own kind, but the apostolic priesthood, the king priest ministry
after the order of Melchisedec, is powered by an endless life. It is a kingdom of priests by
HIS blood in Revelation 1:5-6 and 5:10. It is for all people, races, faces, and places. It is
global, and not confined to one particular nationality. It is not prejudice, but universal,
from mere human race to God‟s amazing grace. All ministries are being swallowed up
into the revelation that His blood made us kings and priests.
Before you inquired of any ascension ministries, you and me were first kings and priests
by His blood. Before the apostolic revolution became known among present truth
ministries, still, it all began in the dimension of being made kings and priests by His
blood. All gifting, ministries, and the glory of the saints stem from being made first unto
God… kings and priests by His blood. Genesis 14:18-20: Hebrews 5:10-14; 6:20; 7:1-28;
1 Peter 2:5, 9; Exodus 19:5-6; Revelation 1:5-6;5:10.
Apostolic Seal:
Apostolic Seal is the visible sign, mark or symbol that serves as evidence of a true
apostolic ministry. The seal of a true apostle will be the people (believers) birthed and
raised up through his ministry. 1 Corinthians 9:2- If I am not an apostle to others, yet
doubtless I am to you. For you are the seal of my apostleship in the Lord.
Apostolic Sphere:
All apostles recognize that they have divine authority, but not all are aware that this
authority is only activated within a divinely-appointed sphere. Once apostles get outside
of their sphere, they have no more authority than any other member of the body of Christ.
Paul relates spheres to authority in 2 Cor. 10. In verse 8 he boasts of his authority, leading
to verses 13-16 in which he deals with the spheres. He says, for example, 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 Cor. 10-13). This reflects Paul‟s remarkable
statement in 1 Cor. 9:2: If I am not an apostle to others, yet doubtless I am to you.
KINGDOM DICTIONARY

Apostolic Spirit:
Apostolic Spirit is the Holy Spirit, “But the comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom
the father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things, to your
remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you”. (John 14:26)
Apostolic Teams:
The purpose is to build apostolically into a region through networks and to impart
spiritual revelation of truth.
Arise:
To rise up and bring forth events that are pre-determined and pre-planned by God. Its
strength proceeds from its inevitability.
(B)
Babylon:
The term derives from what Biblical Babylon represented – A system of success and
material wealth, which is the fulfillment of everything man can be in the natural realm
without God; a system built without faith in God, which desires to conquer and destroy
God‟s purpose and people.
God‟s people are to live in and excel in Babylon while fleeing its values. Daniel is our
model for successful Babylonian living.
(Revelation 17:5) Babylon is a mystery, The Mother of Harlots and Abominations of the
Earth. Babylon represents idolatry and false religion, which also attempts to influence
and control the economic and political systems of the world. Babylon hates apostles and
prophets and attempts to kill them (Revelation 18:20). Apostles and prophets confront the
Babylonian systems of false religion and expose them. They decree and prophesy
Judgment upon Babylon and her children. Babylon uses sorcery and witchcraft to attempt
to control the nation (Revelation 18:23)
Behemoth:
Something of oppressive or monstrous size or power. A Behemoth is any system that is
large enough in size or power to oppress multitudes of people. It can be a religious,
political, cultural or economic system. Behemoths are erected by the enemy to keep the
gospel out and multitudes of people in darkness. (Job 40:15-24)
KINGDOM DICTIONARY

Bind & Loose:
(Matthew 16:19) Bind & Loose is apostolic authority to restrain or release. This
authority was given to Peter upon receiving the Keys of the Kingdom. It is not however
limited to Peter, but given to those who have revelation and walk in apostolic authority.
To bind means to stop, hinder, restrain, restrict, forbid, arrest, put an end to, or shackle.
To loose means to free, liberate, release, or forgive. This can refer to people, regions,
cities etc. Apostolic ministry is a ministry of binding and loosing. Without this authority
we cannot succeed in establishing the kingdom of God.
Body:
One of the three components of man: body, soul and spirit. It is the will of God for the
entire man to be redeemed and sanctified (1 Thess. 5:23). The physical body most usually
expresses the intent of the soul. It is the corporeal form of man, that which can be seen
outwardly, by others. The total redemption of the body is still future, occurring at the
point where we transition from mortality to immortality. However, management of the
process must be instituted now, in that the body must not be abused and put in the way of
physical sin (Rom. 6:13). Personal responsibility and personal choice are paramount in
managing the body.
Boundaries:
This is a sphere of spiritual influence, and a spiritual border or limitation.
Breakthrough:
This is the ability to spiritually blast through, penetrate, to overcome barriers (spiritual,
social, economic, political) through the grace and power of Jesus Christ.
(C)
Caleb Spirit/Technology:
This is the capacity to have longevity in the things of God. Forty years after first raiding
the Promised Land with the original group of twelve spies, Caleb declared that he was
still well able to possess the land and as well at 85 as he had been forty years previously.
This Caleb technology applies to our continuing to keep pace with every new phase of
God‟s purpose and move.
Character:
This is the true essence or inner substance of a person, the integrity of which is refined
and tested constantly by God.

Church:
The universal Body of Christ, likened in scripture to a Body with Christ as Head and to a
building with Christ as “the chief cornerstone” and the believers as “living stones”.
It has no relationship to denominationalism but rather the Church consists in all those
people who have committed their lives to God in their hearts, who are purposefully
walking towards His determined end.
A people called out to journey to a destination, which is the perfection of Christ.
The Church is a community without bounds of time and space, and will one day be “a
seamless robe” of oneness in Him. * Ekklesia* Is the Greek word for an assembly that
was selected and organized by government officials to pass a ruling or deliberate in
judiciary/legislative matters. This word is translated as “church” approximately three
times in the New Testament, and points to the governmental capacity of the Church as a
“called out” assembly to magistrate on universal (natural and spiritual, present and
future) concerns.
Climates and Atmospheres of Region:
The Kingdom being the focus and Agenda…
When God the Father wants to do something new and to break forth in the earth, he raises
up apostles and prophets as trailblazers of his kingdom purpose. Apostles and prophets
help lead, steer and to navigate the saints into reforming the church to reform the nations,
through dethroning, dispossessing, disengaging, disinheriting, disfranchising, and driving
out contrary spiritual forces therein. With strategic intercession, present truth teaching,
and the reconfiguration of the saints into their given technology, believers can move
ahead effectively through forceful momentum in dominion through territories and
localities as principalities are also tied into the principles of men. The real deal
concerning principalities is that of those between the ears of people connected to the
prevailing spiritual climate they are in. Change the principles of men, and you will
change the entire atmosphere or principalities in that region. For light Drives out the
darkness Genesis 1:3
Coalition:
1. An alliance, of people, or nations.
2. The state of being combined into one body.

Complex Sanctified Man:
This is an individual who is seeking to achieve the personal completeness which is only
to be found in Christ; he/she is activated, motivated and energized by heavenly values,
which are ministered by the Holy Spirit.
This is an individual who is able to operate efficiently and correctly in the kingdom and
in the world without compromising the values of the former e.g. Daniel.
Cornelius Connection:
God creates entrances into new spiritual territories by directing us to people who he has
prepared and raised up through processes and circumstances totally unknown to us. This
person is different from a “man of peace” who may act as a conduit to the Cornelius
connection. The apostolic does not build itself on marketing skills or humanly derived
linkages but rather on God‟s making a way, through circumstances, persons and
networkings that He alone has created.
Corporate Anointing:
This term has to do with the simple truth that the anointing of the corporate body is far
greater than just one-man. The corporate anointing has to do with the church or assembly
being one body and many members, not the so-called senior minister and his newest robe
for next Sunday, nor the mass choir, nor the weekly sermonette for Christianettes who
lives on Raisinettes. But the corporate anointing considers the contribution of each
member of the body. And this principle can be further examined from the standpoint of
Psalms 133:1-3. For the key to releasing the anointing is by dwelling together in unity, as
the oil from Aaron‟s beard flows down upon the body. And beloved, it‟s in the body
where the anointing becomes corporate in gathering, corporate in relationship, corporate
in demonstration, and corporate in destiny. 1 Corinthians 14:1-40; Acts 4:31-35; 8:12-17;
Ephesians 2:18-22;
The anointing of the Spirit is not one, which merely falls down upon us in Charismatic
terms, but the corporate anointing is made. Jus t like the apothecary or compound
anointing and spices are made, so is the making of the corporate anointing. For the
corporate contribution to make a difference, leaders must allow the oils and spices in one
another to blend and flow together in unity. Either what we are doing (compound of
ointments and spices) is drawing others, or is repelling others from us It has to do with
the godly given ingredients. Exodus 30:25; 37:29.
Covenant Relationship:
A relationship birthed by the Spirit of God and developed through continued commitment
to the agreed values and principles of God.

Crisis:
A time of social and moral decay, although there may be great external wealth and
trappings, when the hearts of men are hardened to the speaking of God.
Crush:
Crush is to break, pound, or grind (stone or ore, for example) into small fragments or
powder, the act of crushing; extreme pressure.
Culture:
Is the “oxygen” of the Church, The integrated pattern of human knowledge, which
governs beliefs, behaviors, values and attitudes and depends upon man‟s capacity for
learning and transmitting knowledge to succeed generations. It will be a manifestation of
the vision of the House. Each Church will have its own culture, which will be a part of
what God is building in the Earth. It must be relevant to today‟s society, building God‟s
truth for this age. The leaders of the Church must transmit its culture accurately to its
members.
Cut off:
Cut off is to penetrate with a sharp edge; cut off
1. To separate from others; isolate.
2, To stop suddenly; discontinue.
3. To shut off; bar.
4. To interrupt the course or passage of.
5. To interrupt or break the line of communication of.
(D)
Discern:
This is spiritual perception of a situation, season or person. God gives us keen
discernment for all our circumstances, but we must be sensitive in listening for His
spiritual direction.
Discovery:
Salvation is an ongoing process: “we work out our salvation with fear and trembling”.
Each person has to work out his/her salvation. The key to success in the Kingdom is to
continue finding out the hidden treasures of God‟s word. Life is a quest, a supernatural
unfolding of events through natural application of diligence, obedience and faith in God.
God requires us to seek Him and His purpose out.

Dismantle:
a. To take apart; disassemble; tear down.
b. To put an end to in a gradual systematic way.
c. To strip of furnishings or equipment: dismantled the house before
knocking it down.
d. To strip of covering or clothing. Tear down so as to make flat with the
ground.
Divine Initiatives:
This is the God given power or ability, energy or instinct to begin or follow through with
a plan or task.
(E)
Enoch:
Enoch is our pattern for immortality. Enoch developed a consistent walk (or mode of
operation) with God, and “was not, for God took him”. This mortal was so locked into
the frequency of God and produced a lifestyle that was so pleasurable to God that he was
taken away before physical death could lay hold of him. His enduring testimony becomes
a pattern for our transition from this mortal frame of reference to an immortal paradigm
(Gen. 5:24, Heb. 11:5).
(F)
Fatherhood:
Fatherhood is the apostolic ability to raise-up sons in the ministry who tap into grace by
their ability to draw from the apostolic head, not through organizational or structured
Pharisee positionings but by correct understanding of covenant and ranking. Elijah and
Elisha, and Paul and Timothy, are excellent examples of the father-son relationship
necessary to apostolic generational transfer.
Fatherhood is an important earmark of the stability of a new generation of mature and
seasoned saints. Fatherhood is another dynamic in the maturation and destiny of the
saints, as Paul the apostle relates to us the significant importance of this truth in
1 Corinthians 4:15. Spiritual fatherhood is not to be considered as bondage or control,
but a loving grace for which spiritual sons (daughters) can grow in maturity by precept,
example, and demonstration…
Ministry sons will have the loving encouragement of a compassionate yet firm father to
under gird and support them in manhood, maturity, and ministry. Spiritual fatherhood is a
dimension of the Spirit, which is not limited to male or female. It is the bedrock and
foundation of passing down inheritance and generational blessing.
KINGDOM DICTIONARY
13
From examples such as Moses and Joshua, to Paul and Timothy, fatherhood is a means of
lovingly providing checks and balances, as no man is an island unto himself. In this
present movement, fatherhood is being experienced universally, giving vision, direction,
and stability to the sons. Sermons are becoming impartations, and more fathering is
coming out from the lips of many elders abroad. Fathering in message and ministry is
being coupled together, and is not restricted to just being a spiritual father alone.
Fatherhood is graced to assign purpose and assignment to their seed (Ministry sons)
Amos 3:3.
Finishing Mentality:
This is the mode of thought and operation, which will bring a course, task, or undertaking
to completion.
In the Church context, it is to operate as Paul did and to “press on towards the mark of the
high calling of God in Christ Jesus”, knowing as Christ himself did, that “to finish the
work” is of paramount importance.
Five-fold Ministry:
The five-fold ministry is the operation of the governmental offices of apostle, prophet,
pastor, teacher and evangelist. A dimension of grace has been given to some to equip the
saints and edify the Body of Christ (the Church), an ongoing process whose conclusion is
unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God; i.e., the man Christ
(Eph. 4:11-13). These differ from a grace gift, where the Spirit of God moves upon a
believer to function for a time in these dimensions, but with limited capability.
Foundation:
Foundation is the basis (as tenet, principle, or axiom) upon which something stands or is
supported.
The foundation of the Church is Christ (the chief cornerstone) and the apostles lay the
foundation as “wise master-builders”.
Frequency:
In physics, the rate of repetition or number of cycles per second. Usually, God
communicates at a state or level that is incomprehensible to humans. However, enabled
by the mind of Christ, the ways and operating principles of God can be tapped into by His
sons. This level or state of transmission is defined as a frequency. With discernment,
maturity and obedience, the rate of repetition with which God communicates His intent to
the individual believer or corporate body can be apprehended with greater regularity and
clarity. Frequency also refers to the current speaking of God (I Cor.2:9-16) and its
transmission from one believer to another.

Global Vision:
Global vision is a mode of seeing or conceiving, involving the entire word.
Coined phrase: “think globally not locally”.
Global vision may be opposed to the limitations of a “parish mentality” which has bound
churches in the past (and still does today) to limited, sometimes futile, activity within the
confines of their own community.
Govern:

determining or guiding influence in or over.
Government:
Government is the process of governing the Church, imbued with “the power to bring
divine regulation and divine impact upon human and demonic systems in the earth”; right
government causes the eternal intents and purposes of God to proceed according to plan.
Governmental Prayer:
Governmental prayer is breakthrough, penetrative prayer. It is offered up by those saints
who seek out God‟s purpose within their own Church body and the wider Church, and
seek His will and success in their purposes by their declarations and decrees into these
purposes. It is strong warfare prayer directed to circumvent Satan‟s strategies and effect
God‟s rulership on the Earth. (Eph. 6:12)

above the names which Babylon imposed on them.
Jack in the Box Principle:
A Jack jumps up and displays himself the instant his box is opened, but as a people of
God, when our boxes are opened we must serve God effectively but unobtrusively; there

Church. To that end, he „rode furiously‟ to his destined encounter with her, and was not
beguiled by her distracting words but kept absolutely to his purpose.
KINGDOM DICTIONARY

Jezebel:
Jezebel was the wife of Ahab, daughter Ethbaal, king of the Zidonians. Her name means
“un-husbanded.” Although married to Ahab, she was never submitted as a wife. She ran
the kingdom through manipulation, intimidation, control, and deceit. She introduced Baal
worship into Israel. Jezebel was guilty of whoredom and witchcrafts (2 Kings 9:22).
Jezebel represents an evil principality that opposes the true worship of Yahweh. The
Jezebel spirit will inject witchcraft, perversion, false prophetic, and rebellion into a
congregation. This spirit must be opposed with apostolic authority. Jezebel attempted to
destroy the prophets of God. Represents false prophetic (Revelation 2:20) this
principality opposes apostles and prophets. Jezebel hates apostles and prophets. Jezebel is
an intimidating and manipulative spirit. Those who overcome Jezebel will authority over
the nations (Revelation 2:26). Overcoming the spirit of Jezebel is necessary if we are to
possess the nations.
The Jezebel spirit within the Church that is bent on the suppression of God‟s prophetic
Word and the disruption of strong government by any means possible. The Spirit is
deceptive, self-seeking and yet knowledgeable. Attributes of this mentality include a
usurpation of spiritual authority, idolatry, manipulation of individuals, deliberate
slaughter of the apostolic/ prophetic spirit, corruption of spiritual values of purity/
righteousness and domination of Godly leadership (Rev. 2:20-24; 1 Kings. 16:31, 18:4,
19:2, 21:4-8). It must be annihilated at all costs as Jezebel herself had to be annihilated.

His purpose. Reformation has a fixed and definite time in the mind of God; there is a
critical season when the mighty power of God is released and displayed to bring His
plans to pass. In order for the Kairos to be complete, a pre-ordained sequence of events (a
process) must be brought to completion. Therefore, it is a time that is highly charged with
a sense of urgency and impregnated with a sense of destiny, in a sense of urgency and
impregnated with a sense of destiny, in which a certain mentality prevails. There must be
an awareness of the absolute necessity of the ongoing process or task, a willingness to
deny the demands of the flesh in order to bring that process to completion, an intolerance
of any resistance or hindrance, as well as a seamless joining, through prophetic
illumination, of our hearts and minds with God‟s desire.

Woodroffe)
Kingdom:
The Kingdom of God refers to that system which Christ came to usher in, established
through the beliefs, values and heart positions that God would build in His people on
their earth (see for example Matthew 13). It is the expression of God‟s sovereignty in the
Earth (1 Peter 2:9-10) and is to be manifested by His church (ekklesia).
Kingdomology:
This pertains to the present truth knowledge of the kingdom of God in the earth, and the
prophetic intensity to articulate the sound of His kingdom in the earth. The Kingdom is
not a movement. It has always been, for God is always God at all times! He knows
himself within himself. He only knows God, and the Life that springs forth out of HIM.
Kingdomology pertains and prescribes all to the King and His Kingdom, a Kingdom that
cannot be moved. With Kingdomology we are declaring the King‟s Domain, the Domain
of the King, and the domain of the Kingdom of Priests or King – Priest Ministry ( some
prefer Priest – King, that‟s cool)
A Kingdomologist is one with a world view towards the kingdom, and militant passion to
advance the kingdom through their given sphere of technology, assignment, and their
measure of rule. It is more important to witness many coming into the kingdom than
attempting to get them into some church or religious entity. When a person is introduced
into the kingdom, they are already a part of HIS body, and the journey and discovery of
placement, purpose, and potential begins from there. 2 Corinthians 10:12-18; Psalms
145:10-13; Genesis 1:28.

Kronos:
Kronos is the Greek word for physical time. Physical time is the operational framework
for man. Complex, sanctified man operates in this context, yet by principles from an
unseen realm, which is regulated and defined by God‟s timing.
(L)
Language:
Language: is a system of communication common to a speech community, and reflecting
their common understandings and shared philosophies. It expresses a singleness of intent.
(Genesis 11:1) The men building the Tower of Babel tapped into the power of the
technology of a common language, which multiplied their strength and productivity.
Law:
Law is the system of customs, practices, traditions, regulations, rules, governing the
sacrifice, ceremonies and the structures of Jewish lifestyle in the Old Testament. The
Law represents a system that was created to keep sinful man in check. It was intended to
bring man closer to God through teaching obedience but instead drew him further away
because of his attention to the “letter”. The letter kills but the Spirit brings life”. It was
the foundation of the Old Covenant.
Leading:
To have a leading is to be hearing something from the Holy Spirit; to follow a leading is
to listen to what the Spirit say, and obey.
Legalistic:
The legalistic term describes a mentality that is validated by the former Old Testament
relationship between God and Man, rather than by a New Testament understanding of
grace. It refers to a mental position that places the emphasis on the old Mosaic system of
laws, rituals, sacrifices, rather than the new system of grace.
Leviathan:
Leviathan is a sea monster. It is the king of the children of pride (Job 41). It‟s a large sea
serpent. He is called the piercing serpent, the crooked serpent, and the dragon (Isaiah
27:1). An evil principality the Lord will judge in the last days. Psalm 74:14 presents
Leviathan among the supernatural enemies of God dwelling in the sea with many heads.
Sea in the scriptures also represents people and nations. Leviathan is responsible for
hardness of heart, stubbornness, prayerlessness, broken relationships, rage, etc., and is
vicious, fierce, and cruel.

Lifestyle:
Lifestyle: is an individual‟s way of life; this term has gained currency as an abbreviation
of the expression “lifestyle Christianity” or “Kingdom Lifestyle”. “Lifestyle Christianity”
is a way of life that is shaped by the accurate application of Kingdom principles to our
everyday lives.
Light:
Light: entails illumination or knowledge gained by divine revelation (when God shows
you something), or prophetic discernment (spiritual gifting), and a total break with the
ways of the world which lead to darkness. God represents light, and the Devil represents
darkness; once He has brought us into the light we have to choose to walk in the light
consciously (Ephesians 5, 8-14).
Listening:
In order to hear (passive) we have to actively listen for God‟s direction / speaking;
listening is impeded by all traditional mindsets and ways of thinking: “hearing they will
not hear, and understanding they will not understand, because of the hardness of their
hearts”.
(M)
Mandate:
Mandate: is both a formal order, commission, command given by God to an individual or
community and the authorization to access anything necessary to fulfill that command.
Maturity:
Maturity: is the state in which full development or completion of a process, has been
achieved.
Mentality:
Mentality: is a mode or way of thinking. For example, a “big stick mentality” is a mode
of thought characterized by a dependence on external policing and motivation, and a lack
of self-government and personal responsibility.

Migration:
Migration is a change in mental or spiritual position.
It refers to the constant shifts in mentality which must be accomplished by Kingdom
people who are always listening to God and adjusting themselves to a moving target. The
meaning of the word is derived from an understanding of the need for open hearts,
flexible mentalities and a desire for increase. Reformation people are not stationary,
passive and rigid.
Mindset:
Mindset is a rigid, inflexible mentality.
Momentum:
Momentum is the spiritual impetus (motivating force); the unstoppable advance of a
spiritual activity that crushes all opposition in its path (“Momentum”, Governmental
Prayer: The Warfare Expression of the Apostolic, 40).
Mortality:
Mortality is the ultimate limitation of the human race. Death is our final enemy, and our
final obstacle in the race to immortality. But death has already been conquered.
Therefore, mortality is a present reality that Reformation people reject; prophetically
laying hold of a more perfect reality that is to come.
Mosaic:
Relating to the system of external rituals, sacrifices and externally imposed law, instituted
by Moses, when he led Israel out of Egyptian slavery and through the wilderness.

Move (verb):
Move is to arise from apparent inactivity or to display power in some perceptible way.
The (Noun) is used to describe the different phases by which God establishes his
Kingdom on the earth. Although the word is used to describe both God‟s former phases
and the current Reformation, an important distinction exists between previous moves of
God and the present Reformation move of God. The Reformation “breaks the established
patterns of the moves of God in the Earth. It is of a higher frequency and has a more
devastation spiritual impact. This Reformation is of a higher rank than the successive
moves of God that we have experienced up to this time.”
(Reformation Spirit and Mentality: Patterns in John the Baptist, the Present Reformation
of the Church, 38.)
(N)
Natural:
Natural is most usually opposed to „spiritual‟. Man has natural or carnal inclinations
which often oppose his spiritual call. We may look at things in the „natural‟ or in the
„spiritual‟ – tantamount to the difference between looking on the seen as opposed to the
unseen.
Navigation:
Navigation is apostolic and prophetic steerage into the corporate anointing and corporate
destiny of the saints. It is the raising up of true spiritual leaders, fathers, and generals
across the earth to establish HIS people in present day truth, and to embrace migration as
a kingdom principle for the journey.
Apostolic Navigators lend to the classical Greek of defining through description of
Apostles as a “Fleet of Ships setting sail across the waters, admirals and ambassadors, as
in generalship, and the colony established. It speaks of apostolic colonization, crossing
over into new territory and being establishing the kingdom of God without borders
therein. In classical Greek, the whole process is apostleship. Matthew 28:18-20; Luke
4:43.
That is why the spirit (mentality and negative oppositional and defiant rhythm) of
Antichrist is the chief enemy of apostles as a Jezebel spirit is the chief enemy of prophets.
Antichrist mentality resists apostles, as it is also the contending spirit of this age.
Apostles establish new colonies, a city within a city, a people within a people, and a
nation within a nation, a new nation, a whole New World; Antichrist opposed the
apostolic dimension in Acts 16 when the leadership of the region perceived the apostles
teaching strange customs.
KINGDOM DICTIONARY
23
Further on, it reveals that the apostolic is more than just preaching and teaching, but
demonstration of the Spirit to establish HIS kingdom community in the midst of our local
communities.
That is one reason why a spirit or mentality of antichrist hates apostles, for every time a
pioneering people are established, it reflects the very mind of Christ in the earth, a people
moving and migrating and ruling and reigning in His Life. Every time new territory is
seized unto kingdom advancement this reflects the very person of Christ as if he himself
were here in person doing the same.
Network:
Network is an interconnected group of people, who share a common purpose, belief and
understanding.
The International Network of Christian Students (INCS) is a network of students in
various campuses across the globe whose common belief in and understanding of Christ,
transcends cultural barriers, penetrates political barriers, spans geographical distances and
neutralizes cultural differences.
New Age:
Is the modern (demonic) spiritualism which purports to be a movement for self
development of then individual while actually making him/her a prey to demonic
influences through mind penetration, this prominent feature of the world system at the
turn of the millennium capitalizes on Man‟s continued attempts to attain self-sufficiency
and self-sufficiency and self-aggrandizement and, paradoxically, to that element of man
which craves spiritual fulfillment. Many self development seminars as well as
Professional Development courses are geared towards releasing the mind to infiltration
by alien spiritual forces.
New Covenant:
The New Covenant is the effective spiritual order of Divine Grace. Jesus‟ appearance on
Earth permanently brought the entire complex Mosaic system to termination. He ushered
in a transition that simultaneously invalidated the old order and introduced the new order.
He came to give us access to Him „by and new and living way‟, that is through faith and
grace, and, having so done, we were commissioned to work out his purpose in the earth,
to build his Church and to manifest Kingdom reality in the Earth.
Next Level:
Refers to God‟s immediate upward purpose for His people, to which He is constantly
directing them. It involves our increasing in our Christian walk that is in character,
lifestyle, and closeness to Him, because only through personal increase can we access the
next level of purpose that He has for us.

Occupy:
Occupy is to seize possession of and maintain control over by or as if by conquest. March
aggressively into another‟s territory by military force for the purposes of conquest and
occupation.
(P)
Paradigm:
To show side by side, example, pattern. In present truth language, paradigms are new
patterns in the church, or something God is showing us in both the Spirit and in the
natural; whether it is the Spirit of God revealing patterns of restoration, or the last 500
years of reformation from Martin Luther to now, paradigms witness something for which
God has done, is doing, or wants to manifest in his church. “Para” carries the meaning of
along side, as in the Holy Spirit being our Paraclete, Paraklesis, or Parakletos. In the
principle of paradigms, there seems to be a new wave and pattern of movement in the
global kingdom community, at least something of which the Holy Spirit is reforming our
mind and mentality back to. (Apostolic Configuration for Apostolic Globalization)
The real restoration is not as if what God has done in times past has ceased. Rather, the
reconfiguration of perceptions and mindsets toward what God has always been doing. For
the Lord, nor his Holy Spirit, needs any restoration. But our hearts and minds must
become new things in order to manifest the changes he is bringing in the earth. The real
change begins in us (Malachi 3:1-4) Yes beloved, in these paradigms you will witness
change, which is probably one of the single most important words in apostolic
vocabulary, In truth, the Holy Spirit is not only showing us new and developing patterns,
but is taking the church into these new realms, thresholds, and dimensions of corporate
glory. Hebrews 12:26-28; Daniel 2:44; 7:14, 27; Revelation 11:15; Isaiah 43:19.
Praise:
Praise is the manifestation of our glorifying God through song, dance, audible prayer, the
lifting of hands. God inhabits our praises; they release Him to war on our behalf, to direct
us and to come close to us.
It is our essential purpose to praise God in all circumstances and situations. David
recognized more than any other than righteousness and power of praise.

Prophetic Articulation:
Prophetic Articulation is that in any present truth ministry of the Spirit, being apostolic
global reformation or any deeply saturated in the current and past prophetic waves, will
also have a prophetic vision. Prophetic vision is not the same as current world expertise
of prophecy, or the footnotes of C. I. Scofield. We do not interpret the word from current
world events, but the bible defines the bible, the Word of God is its own interpreter. And
if one desires to know the Truth it is not apart from the Spirit of Truth.
Prophetic Articulation is the ability and liberating influence of the Spirit to put into words
the oracles, counsel, and mid of the Lord, His expressions and thoughts, the current
moves and waves of God, and the present glory of the Lord invading the earth through a
people of His passion Daniel 2, 4; chapter 4.
Prophetic Articulation is taking the time to give meaning and substance through clarity
and accuracy of what the Lord is saying and doing in the earth. It is defining through
accurate knowledge and invisible spiritual patterns. Prophetic Articulation is wisdom and
revelation. A teachable spirit is necessary for receiving Prophetic Articulation. Daniel
5:17-31; 7:13-14, 8, 22, 27; 10:7-21.
Prophetic Realm:
Though the apostolic is the hot topic these days across the earth, it is never to be assumed
that the prophetic is no longer needed now that the apostolic is in view. True, previous
movements tend to persecute to some degree the present movement of the Spirit, but let‟s
remember the prophetic and apostolic works closely together as checks and balances, to
give the more complete synergy, transference, and impartation needed between the two.
There is no true apostolic without the foundational ministries of the prophet.
The prophetic realms assist the apostolic in many ways. Though one may have an
apostolic assembly, their vision will be prophetic in scope, nature, and dimension. For it
takes the prophetic to draw from the heavenly dimension, as the apostolic makes it
relevant and practical to walk in. Again, one is basically vertical, the other horizontal in
ministry, although we dare not limit them to one word definitions. Below please take a
look at the contribution of the prophetic realm or dimension in the local assemblies, and
let‟s celebrate together the apostolic and prophetic in oneness of purpose.

Python:
The spirit of Apollo, who was the god of divination in the mythology of the Greeks (Acts

Python spirits kill their victims by squeezing and constricting until they lose the breath.
This is the only detailed apostolic deliverance mentioned in the book of Acts. Python
spirits seek to choke the life (represented by breath) out of the church by hindering the
moving of the Holy Spirit. Apostles have and anointing and authority to break Python‟s
power and release the church from the influence of witchcraft, sorcery, and divination.

Ranking:
The divine arrangement of functioning headship manifested first in the Godhead and
further in five-fold ministry (Ephes 4:11). Headship does not imply qualitative superiority
but a functional system of command which releases optimum performance when
accepted and acted upon. Ranking and its acceptance runs counter to everything the
world teaches and recognition of its counter to everything the world teaches and
recognition of its Kingdom-releasing power is a consummate act of faith.
Recognize, Raise, and Release:
This too, is an apostolic principle, the truth, which is becoming a dynamic in corporate
gatherings. From prophetic presbyteries, apostolic teams, spiritual fatherhood, to
covenant relationships, the key to establishing seasoned, proven, fruitful, and mature
ministry must carry this three-fold principle. Mail order ministry, District
Superintendents, General Advisory boards, Institutional Bishops, and Blood relatives
passing the pulpit scene to make room for the next one (generally, the Pastor‟s son or
son-in-law) is not considered the Antioch pattern for ministry.
Romans 1:11; 1 Timothy 1:18; 4:14;

Reform:
The (Verb) To make structural adjustments, to make straight again that which is broken,
protrudes or has become misaligned or misshapen, to put back into the correct order or
form. The meaning points to a skeletal adjustment or to a correction of the inner
mechanisms which give shape or form to the outer construct.
Reformation:
A reformation is brought by a conscious deliberate people who understand the timings
and seasons of the Lord and who prophetically discern his moving in the earth. It
requires „powerful transitions to new mentalities, new expectations and faith levels, new
revelation from the Word of God, for more powerful performance of the purposes of God
in the earth. This powerful transition is Reformation.‟ A Reformation requires the
conscious choosing of a preferred destination; it does not occur automatically.
Reformation does not overtake the unaware or the unperceptive; it requires obedience,
courage and understanding. A Reformation move of God is ordained in heaven and
received by prophetic people in the earth but must be built by activities of sacrifice, joy
and persistent proclamation. (29 TPRC)
Reformation is an apostolic principle. Reformation was first believed to be a movement
to reform the 16th
century Roman Catholic Church, but instead, resulted in the
establishing of the Protestant Church. Martin Luther, a pioneer of the Lutheran church,
was an apostle of reformation.

In the original meaning, a Protestant (Protestor) was one whom made protest against the
Religious mother (Rome) of that time. Today, the paradigm and shifting of the
Reformation Movement involves first, the definition and meaning of the word “Reform.”
Reform is a combination of two very important word parts, (1) Re – again, and (2) For –
the shape. It is the outline or configuration of anything used to give shape to something…
It is the particular mode of existence a thing has or takes; an orderly arrangement.
Genesis chapter one, Isaiah 43:1 Acts 3:21; Isaiah 14:25-26.
In present truth language, apostolic reformation is aligning things into the governmental
and divine order of the kingdom of God through the instrumentality of the global church,
and the agency and operation of the Holy Spirit. In present truth reformation, the nations
are being re-formed, arrested, assessed, and acquisition into the original purpose, plan,
and intention of God for destiny. God is bringing deeper meaning, revelation, and
understanding of the kingdom of God, as there now arises in the earth a bold new sound
which says, “the earth is the Lord‟s and the fullness thereof, the world and they that dwell
therein. “Psalms 24:1
In prophetic and apostolic reformation, there is the declaration of the kingdom of God as
come, and his will being done in earth, as it is in heaven. The assembly (one church, one
purpose) in earth is agreeing with the assembly in heaven, and is doing things according
to the pattern. The glory follows the pattern, for again the pattern came from his glory in
the first place. John 27:5; Exodus 25:8-9; Matthew 6:10.
Reformation carries with it other exciting “R” words. For too long, many upheld
“rapture-mania doctrines, awaiting the great escape which is really the abortion of the
dominion mandate and Jeroboam‟s Feast, a sidetrack and diversion from the real Feast of
Tabernacles (1 Kings 12-13). For many, it would appear impossible to take dominion in
the earth, and to reconstruct and to reshape society into the governmental order of the
kingdom, for fear of the devil, and all of his cohorts. But that thinking is really “stinking
thinking,” as God is restoring to his community the revelation of “The Meek Inheriting
the Earth!” For again, the earth is the Lord‟s, not the devil‟s! The earth is the Lord‟s not
the sinner‟s! The earth is the Lord‟s, not Wall Street. The earth is the Lord‟s not the
banking systems of our day! The earth is the Lord‟s not the political scheme of things!
Simply put, the earth is the Lord‟s and we need to possess and consciousness of this in
our spirit, soul, and body! It will transfer and translate into pure substance, a real walk,
and a powerful apprehension of what God has given us to do…

Some of the other exciting “R” words is as follows…
Rapture-mania versus Resurrection (to stand, to cause to stand, to raise up)
Rapture-mania versus Revelation ( to disclose, uncover, unveil, make manifest)

Rapture-mania versus Rule and Reign of Christ (the administration of the kingdom – a
Christ consciousness of the meek inheriting the earth)
Rapture-mania versus Reconciliation (we come from God, and we shall return to him – a
revelation of awakening mankind of the journey back home to the Father)
Rapture-mania versus Restoration (reconstitution, the restorers of the paths to dwell in –
the foundation of many generations – restoration – theme of scripture)
Rapture-mania versus Release of the Spirit (release from bondage, captivity, corruption –
manifestation of the sons of God – becoming Christ in the earth)

Soul:
The soul is the seat of human personality, and source of decisions. It reflects attitudes
developed by interaction with myriad environments. The soul is the source of our
expressed characteristics and contains emotion and will. Man‟s soul expresses the intent
of the spirit and utilizes the body to transmit this. The soul is redeemed by the processes
of life, and involves response and initiative, both of which culture the soul. The spiritual
revelation from the Word of God provides a measuring stick by which the soul‟s
operations can be assessed and adjusted towards.
Special Forces:
Special forces is a branch of the military composed of soldiers specially trained in
guerrilla fighting.
Spirit:
The innermost part of man‟s being. Before salvation, man‟s spirit is inhibited from
operation or expression, as his activity in that state is regulated by the desires flesh
operating through his soul. When Christ is proclaimed as Lord of an individual‟s life, the
spirit is liberated (by His blood sacrifice) with the intent/result of providing government
and direction to man. Thus, by this action, man‟s spirit has been redeemed. Spirit
provides man with connectivity and awareness of God and His intent. It has the power to
communicate (sense, feel, be aware of) with the unseen realm of God and provides a
regulatory function for our activities. The spirit can be developed and made strong.

Strategy:
Strategy is the science or art of military command as applied to planning and conduct of
large scale operations designed to destroy the military potential of the enemy.
The science and art of military command as applied to the overall planning and conduct
of large-scale combat operations. The Greek word strategia means generalship. It is
related to the word stratetia, which means warfare or apostolic career. Strategy involves
warfare and military campaigns. Apostolic strategies are needed to impact territories and
regions. This strategy relates to the wisdom of God. Apostles must not depend on human
strategies, but must operate in the wisdom of God. Apostolic churches are strategic in
their locations and operations.
(The Science and Art of Military command for large scale combat operations) –
When Paul the apostle spoke concerning Warfare, the Greek words which yields today‟s
word “Strategy” came into being. Warfare in 2 Corinthians 10:4 and 1 Timothy 1:18 is
defined in the Greek as “Strateia” from another root word meaning “Military service,
apostolic career (as one of hardship and danger). It is an apostolic campaign, an army,
engaged in a strategy (warfare) and may appear to contend with the limited and carnal
mentalities of men. In 1 Corinthians 9:7 the Greek word is “Strateuomai” based on
another rendition of the word “to serve in a military campaign, to execute the apostolate
(regions, territories, cities, provinces, nations) with its arduous duties and functions, to
contend with carnal inclinations, a soldier)”
Other related words in the New Testament include definitions such as “a body of troops
(G.A.D. a predestined troop coming forth, G.A.D. God‟s Army of Deliverance or God‟s
Army of Destiny). Continuing … a troop more or less extensive or systematic…army,
soldier, man of war… Strategos – “a General, by implication or analogy a military,
governor, chief of the Levitical temple, wardens, captain, magistrate…”
Words like “Stratiotes,” warrior” Stratologeo, “gather (or select) as in a warrior, to enlist
in an army,” Stratopedarches, ruler of an army, captain of the guard, and finally,
“Stratopedon, camping-ground, a body of troops.”
The church of God is often seen as the bride, but it is also HIS son! It is a Bride in Union
with Combat Boots on. It is not merely the family of God, but apostolically the Army of
God. It is not alone a soldier but a warrior, a passion to engage the enemy and to establish
the battle plan and tactics in seizing bold new territory for the advancing of the kingdom.
If we are not positioned for possession in our progression and led into militancy for
apostolic colonization, we move from apostolic acquisition and seizing to having
corporate seizures.

Synergistic Covenantal Networking and T.E.A.M:
Ministry: Synergism is the simultaneous action of separate agencies, which, together,
have greater total effect than the sum of their individual parts. It is the combined and
correlated action of different organs. It is team ministry as confirmed in 1 Corinthians
3:6-8. Synergy is becoming the word of the hour as more church leadership is challenged
to work together with others in and outside of their local assemblies. Also, it is in my
experience to work with numerous ministries, some, of the limelight, and others on the
back hill of the mountain. It is also my expressed joy to see bridges built (and crossed)
between the “whose who and the, who are you?” Words cannot be expressed at times for
the cooperative and concerted effort I‟ve seen between leaders from various cultures and
ethnic diversity. And beloved, it‟s happening right now in places where you never
thought it could possibly happen.

For in Acts 13:1-3 lies the pattern of working together in synergy, from different
backgrounds of cultural diversity, and distinct levels of anointing and grace. This is a
rainbow to say the least.
Oneness is not sameness. We are all one body yet sharing distinct cultural experiences.
As a light-red skin African American, I certainly enjoy my rich ethnic heritage, which is
also being utilized for kingdom advancement. Here, I can reach a countless many with
the apostolic message that we are all one body, fitly joined together for a holy purpose.
Therefore, I encourage you to be open to work with others, whether black, white, brown,
yellow, olive, or red; and move beyond networking to knitting together in respect,
loyalty, and mutual love one for another.
Even Simeon whom was called Niger (not NIGGER) became part of the prophetic
presbytery which confirmed the ministry of Barnabas and Saul. And if this truth could be
demonstrated universally, then what a change agent this would be! To God is the glory!

Synergy:
Synergy is the action of two or more organisms to achieve an effect of which each is
individually is incapable, the theological doctrine that regeneration is effected by a
combination of human will and divine grace.
Synergy is interaction of two or more agents or forces so that their combined effect is
greater than the sum of their individual effects of combined action. Synergy results from
team ministry. There is a greater strength and power released through synergy as a result
of the combined efforts of different ministry gifts. Great synergy results when apostles,
prophets, and other ministry gifts operate in the spirit of unity and harmony. The strength
of each anointing is combined to bring maximum impact into a church or region.

Technology:
Technology is a system of internal spiritual principles and laws that make an external
manifestation predictable and stable (PRC-47). There is a system of operation which
facilitates the effective working out of God‟s purposes in the Earth and we have to seek
to lock into that system. We have to unlock the technology to bring about God‟s ultimate
purpose in the Earth (Pgs 47-48).
Teflon Spirit:
The Teflon Spirit refers metaphorically to the individual saint‟s capacity to take all the
knocks that the world may give and still come up shining, like a Teflon-coated pan, with
no bruise, scrape or burn since we remain absolutely whole in God.

The Kingdom:
The message of the King and his kingdom is what brought about the ever-increasing
restoration and reformation waves of today. The kingdom is not a movement, but it is
stabilizing influence of God, His decreed will and purpose. (Hebrews 12:26-27). It
always has, and always will be, steadfast, unaltered, and unending. The kingdom cannot
be moved, but by revelation it will move you into new spheres and frequencies of
kingdom advancement. In order to understand and convey the balance truth of the
apostolic dimension, one need to go back to the principles of the Kingdom of God, what
it is, does, where it is, and why. For the mentality and perception of the apostolic is
simply the mentality and perception of the kingdom. Whether it is practical kingdom
living to ultimate kingdom in executing God‟s plan and purpose across the earth, the
apostolic is to be ministered out of the emphasis of the unmovable kingdom of God. The
advancing of the kingdom is the advancing of the government of God in the earth. Isaiah
9:7; Psalms 145:11-13; Mt. 24:14; Acts 28:30-31.
Trans-local Ministry:
Trans-local ministry is that which cross-pollinates the body, and is actively involved in
ministry relationships other than their in-house local fellowship. Trans-local ministry is
an apostolic and prophetic principle, seeing too, that the apostles and prophets were first
given in mobile ministry in the body. Trans-local ministry is covenantal networking. It is
working together with other ministries for the advancing of the kingdom. It is covenant
and not coven or convenience, community and communism…
Trans-local ministries may consist of apostolic teams, prophetic presbyteries, evangelistic
teams, and any needed synergy of grace to equip the body of Christ. It goes ahead where
other assemblies as a whole can‟t launches and launches out into the deep where given by
the Spirit through divine accountability structures. Luke 4:43; Romans 15:19; 14:23-28;
Titus 1:5; Acts 11:19-27; 19:1
Travail:
There is an aspect of prayer that births things in the Spirit. This is called travail; releasing
the creative power or energy of the Holy Spirit into a situation to produce, create or give
birth to Gods purpose. Travail is birthing through prayer. It comes from the innermost
being as a cry out to God.
Tuning Fork Principle:
This refers to the capacity to zone in on the teaching or speaking of a person who is like
mind in the apostolic process of the end-times church. One apostle can identify another
by his speaking, his mode of thought, because God is speaking to both of them on the
same frequency.

Warfare (Ground level):
Ground level is the level of warfare that deals with the casting out of demons. The
deliverance ministry is an integral part of the apostolic ministry. The twelve were
commissioned to “cast out demons.” Casting out of demons affects principalities in the
heavens. (Luke 10)
Warfare (Occult level):
Occult level it the level of Warfare that deals with the occult, sorcery, witchcraft, and
divination. Agents of Satan are dealt with in this realm, especially witches, warlocks,
sorcerers, and Satanists. Examples of this level of warfare are found in Acts 8, 13, 16 and
19.
Warfare Prayer:
Warfare prayer is an activity undertaken by Reformation people to weaken or destroy
satanic strongholds of forces.
Governmental prayer is the warfare expression of the apostolic. We do not fight against
visible foes, but against demonic powers. The battle is conducted in the realm of prayer.
The kingdom cannot peacefully co-exist with anything that is different in nature. All
kingdom advance is achieved in the face of conflict, opposition and resistance by satanic
forces. Reformation people are kingdom-advancing, governmental pray-ers, armed with a
warfare mentality.
(“Strong Prayer and the Violent Spirit”, Governmental Prayer: The Warfare Expression
of the Apostolic, 39)
Warfare (Strategic level):
Strategic level is the level of warfare that deals with high-ranking territorial spirits. An

Watchmen:
Watchmen are flexible, responsive pray-ers, who are discerning and prophetic, and who
remain constantly alert and vigilant to the changing tactics of the enemy.
God has set „watchmen‟ on the walls of Jerusalem who are to give Him no peace until
they establish God‟s purpose on the earth.
Wavelength:
Wavelength is frequency, bandwidth, channel, and means of communication or
expression. Babylon (the world) is configured to transmit at a frequency that distorts, or
block out God‟s speaking. Christians must make sure that they are attuned to the right
spiritual wavelength.
Will:
The „will’ is our collective desire or intent as Kingdom people. We have the authority and
power to bring to fruition whatever we have determined and declared as God‟s will, as
His preference. It is imperative that the leadership of the church has accurate vision, to
keep the will of the people seamlessly joined with God‟s will. It is not by our human
effort, but by co-operation with a pre-existent divine initiative, that we achieve continued
success for Him.
The „will‟ is control of one‟s own actions, thoughts and emotions.
Reformation people must be self-controlled, internally-policed, self-governed, equipped
with a sense of personal responsibility.
It is to our „will’ in God, not to our emotions that we must yield.
Wineskin:
Wineskin is the systems of operation and of thinking designed to contain the purpose of
God and bring it to maturity (Luke 5:37 – 39).
New wine is God‟s new purpose, which is too dynamic for the rigidity of old, existing
structures. Often, when God births a new Process in the Earth, the structures and
mentalities that predate it are incapable of containing it until it comes to a place of
fruition. Therefore, it is necessary to build new structures and to update old mentalities to
create appropriate vessels for God‟s moving in the Earth.
Old wineskins; refers to the status quo, the established patterns, the traditional way of
doing things. It speaks of a rigid, inflexible vessel, incapable of holding the new purpose
of God.
KINGDOM DICTIONARY

New wineskins represent the elasticity of flexible mentalities that are in tune with God‟s
new purpose. The expression conjures up images of an environment in which God‟s new
intent can evolve, mutate and come to maturity.
Wisdom:
Wisdom is deep understanding, keen discernment and sound judgment.
Wisdom = knowledge + understanding. The essential message of Jesus‟ parable in
Matthew 25:14 is that is we ( the servants) are to engage in a wise and accurate process,
we must have knowledge of who God is, as well as an understanding of what He wants.
Of course, it is possible to have an intellectual knowledge and an academic understanding
without ever achieving true (God-given) wisdom.
Witchcraft:
Witchcraft is a work of the flesh (Galatians 5). Witchcraft is also a manifestation of
rebellion. (Samuel) Seeking power and information from sources that are forbidden by
God is witchcraft. Divination and sorcery also come under the umbrella of witchcraft.
Witchcraft is common to all cultures because it is a word of the flesh. Witchcraft is a
common enemy against the advancement of the Kingdom of God. Apostles have an
anointing and authority to break the power of witchcraft in regions and territories. In
addition to this the apostolic anointing is necessary to keep the church free from the
deceptive and insidious influence of witchcraft.
Witness:
The (verb) witness is to serve as evidence or proof, giving public affirmation, by word
or example, of the reality of Christ‟s sovereignty in our individual and corporate lives.
The (noun) witness is the testimony, proof or attestation of the reality of Christ‟s
sovereignty.
Word Logos and Rhema:
The „Logos Word’ is God speaking through His Word to all believers; the „Rhema
Word’ is an individual word for a single believer as God speaks particularly through a
prophetic ministry, through His Word or through any given individual.
Work:
Work is the sustained effort and activity necessary to achieve God‟s purpose. There is a
work requirement for every member of the Kingdom. We are no longer passive recipients
of God‟s blessings, but active, willing participants in the process toward the completion
of God‟s global purpose, as well as His purpose in our individual and corporate lives.
KINGDOM DICTIONARY

World:
The (noun) ‘world’ is the political, economic, social and philosophical systems of the
world which are based on a body of understanding which is opposed to the principles of
the Kingdom of God. The entire world-system in which we live is and demonically
designed, man-made, flesh-based “kingdom”. It is a system of human thought and
government which is devoid of divine input, and which runs contrary to the principles of
the Kingdom of God. For example, the religious systems that exist in the church today
are opposed to the Kingdom of God, even though they parade themselves as belonging to
His kingdom. Being flesh-based, they attempt to work on the external things and effect
change from the outside in. In contrast, the Kingdom is spirit-based, and works from the
inside out. In this example, it is a fundamental difference in philosophy, not in
appearance, that differentiates world from Kingdom. Both false and accurate church
systems look the same, but they are different at root.
Worldly:
Worldly is of, or relating to, the world.
Worship:
The (noun) worship is the act of giving appropriate obeisance and adoration to God.
Error! No table of contents entries found.Worship emanates from a heart condition
which puts God at the centre of our personal universe and submits itself absolutely to
Him. It is THROUGH OUR WORSHIP THAT God is released to respond to us, to
answer our prayers, to engage with us and to direct us. Worship is central to all God-
relating activity.

Zion:
Zion is the hilly central region of Jerusalem where David established his city. Known as a
place of beauty, security, military strength, gathering of Israel‟s tribes; seat of
government of Israel. It was a place of elevation, clear vision, long sight, proclamation.

David extended his kingdom and governed the surrounding nations. Zion then is a picture
of the church occupying its rightful governmental position in the earth. Zion is a place of
kingdom interface with the nations.
