At present, the prevailing wind blowing from the high-pressure spiritual system of over individualism blasts the population of a consumer-driven culture with narcissistic false entitlement, false equality, and false expectations.

The manner of Jesus in training His originating apostles reveals a context of addressing the entire culture of Israel on an oversight visit to determine how to reset the kingdom. Thus Christ carries on apostolic academia in the context of His life and ministry. He encounters the crowds and shares spiritual experiences with His leaders. He trains by doing, as Luke reports in both His Gospel and inspired report on the Acts of Holy Spirit: “all that Jesus began both to do and teach.”

Remember, you represent and partner with the Father. Do not represent yourself and partner with yourself in fathering lest you turn into a Pharaoh.

Then, the entire system now dominating Earth will know that Jesus sent these representatives. In this way, the Ekklesia sets the agenda for spiritual warfare on the Earth and the heavenlies. In this way, a genuine response to God’s intentions is possible.

The test does not build character. The test reveals the character you build in the mundane of life.

Testing answers the question: “how much progress have we made toward the ultimate goal?” Since only the leader who designs the strategic process knows the ultimate goal, he remains the only person who can develop the tests.
