Questions Concerning the New Covenant Ministry

I trust there is a generation coming, endowed with the Lord’s mercy and grace, which will yet again unveil His original intention and pattern of His plan for His people. This was prophesized in the OT many times. (Psm. 24:6; Psm 110:3)
It will require a restoration of the foundation of what was lost in the teaching of Jesus Christ.  It will require pure and genuine discipleship in the context of a life in the Kingdom by the Spirit, not in the context of a life circling around church institution.  Rules and duties will have to be recovered.

Such teachings will bear several characteristics:

1. They won’t be founded on Man’s traditions and rules, and ends itself there. It will be Kingdom oriented.
2. This teaching will not be based on human intellect, but by the Power of the Holy Spirit.
3. This teaching will not be involved in building or perfecting a movement or reformation of the church system, but in releasing people into Kingdom life and reality.
4. Such teaching will be a true return back to the New Covenant ministry, which is granted by the power and authority of the Lord to His disciples when He sent them out to disciple nations. (Matt 28)
