The apostolic message that Christ is releasing at this time is quite extensive. It requires many books, and encompasses hours of teaching. Proof of its validity is in the changes that take place in lives - new attitudes, mature relationships, new hope and love, and transformed churches. The proof is in the lives of those who have sat under this grace, and in their children. Of the leaders and people of Peace in Rockhampton, the one thing they have to offer is that they love each other. This teaching must go out to the entire world. And the goal? The reformation of the whole church in the whole world! While John Alley was writing his first book, The Apostolic Revelation, he heard the Lord speak, saying that this was the first level of revelation, and that there would be a second, and then a third. Evidence of the validity of this book and its message is that it has been accepted all over the world, and there are many testimonies. Renowned author Dr C. Peter Wagner sent an unsolicited letter to John, whom he had never met. He wrote: "It is a brilliant book. There is so much biblical content that I would not hesitate to classify it as the premier biblical theology of the apostolic movement..." The teaching of The Apostolic Revelation must go out. This book was written to make plain a series of dynamic concepts that are crucial to the life of the church and the restoration of its apostolic power. It establishes benchmarks for the apostolic ministry, and gives definition and substance to the apostolic wineskin of the church. It is a revelation of apostolic methods, and of God's heart for the church and its leadership. In this book, today's apostolic message is harmonised with and grounded in the apostolic revelation of Christ given to Paul, the apostle to the Gentiles. This work is the result of 13 years of inquiry, searching the mind of the Spirit regarding the place of apostles today, and seeking to understand what it means for the church to be the mature apostolic church prepared for the coming of Christ. Apostolic grace is for every believer, and we must equip every believer to receive a greater grace, and to prepare for the days ahead.
We can clearly see why this teaching must be broadcast to the whole church in the whole world. Rev Dr. John McElroy, Director, Southern Cross Association of Churches, Perth, Australia, wrote concerning this teaching: "You are about to glean from a man who's been on an incredible journey of revelation and discovery. I know of no other book published on this subject that is so biblical, inspiring, and practical." Dr. McElroy commented further:
"The book you are about to read
will impact your life and the way you view
other people... The first time I heard John
Alley speak on the 'spirit of sonship'... it was like being taken to an altitude of
30,000 feet where you get a bird's eye
view stretching in all directions."
These great concepts are but a few of the many truths which must be made plain, and made known, to the church in the world - truths which liberate. For with understanding comes power to break the bondage that remains on the lives of so many believers and churches in every place. Jesus said, "the truth will set you free." | ||||
