    About this ebook

    Apostles and apostolic ministry are important to the furtherance of the Kingdom of God and the Church. But, some have become vulnerable to deception and error. Many apostles have abused their ministries and authority. Therefore, the Lord is going to send an apostolic paradigm shift in the midst of the Church. It is designed to bring purity again to the apostolic office. Not only in the execution of this ministry, but also in the perspective for which it is received. In this book, we will explain the apostolic paradigm shift God is sending in the Church.
