To reveal the heart of this process, the presuppositions of involved intercession, Paul says, “We do not know how to pray what is necessary to get God what He wants, so Holy Spirit helps us.”

To say an armorbearer carries my Bible is just plain silly. It reveals a level of silliness in the leaders who abuse people with this kind of nonsense. If you can’t even carry your own Bible because you are too stupid to organize your life, giving a living, breathing adult that task, so you can look superior, is a mockery. Then, screaming at them if your glasses aren’t in front of you reveals you are a narcissistic bozo, not a great general.

Yes, they did not start functioning as elders at this meeting. They had been doing so for months and years depending upon when each elder joined the training and function. They were experts and experienced by night and day immersion in the kingdom leadership roles.

We will ignore the post-reformation adaptation of Biblical leadership in a protest of papal aberration. We will become originalists. We will re-pioneer the ancient landmarks of oversight through kingdom leadership dynamics.

When God shows up to project His identity upon you, a most incredible moment of personal angst occurs. God reveals how you have been projecting your identity upon Him.

We have no one Biblical norm for spiritual fathering that can stand our conceptualization of constant interaction with a territorial apostolic spiritual father. We have something else revealed in Scripture. We have a spiritual fathering viewpoint that can touch, influence, lead, and impact one or one hundred thousand.

The internalization of Jesus Christ rises to its ultimate in apostles and prophets in their submission to assignment, alignment, and authorization. When such a leader internalizes something “other than,” correction is needed to avoid exaggeration of role and responsibility.

Perhaps we have such a room, filled with revelations of God’s assignments, properly cataloged, and often mentioned. The context of this room is our collection of “we received prophetic words.”

So, part of the pathos of fathering arises when you obey Father in favoring one inheritor over another or in comparison to another.
