The King of Kings, has ordered a meeting, literally! He should surely, be able to do that, according to His Own Ways and Leading. I will do everything in my power and in His Power, to see that He gets the Meeting, Just the Way He Ordered it. I am not naive, the question is, can His servants put aside their pride and differences, to see this come to pass? Can His servants, get involved, just because it is for the good of the Kingdom and for the King? I know there will be persecution. It is not denominational, and it can not be a Whose Greater Ministries Event, it is not about reputation. It is Kingdom of God business. It is, directly for the Gospels sake and for Jesus sake. I have been ordered to move quickly.
Satan does not want this meeting to take place. I am not talking about a few, Apostles and Prophets having a conference. I am talking about, a concerted effort, to reach all of the Lords Apostles, on every Continent. I have the Lords wisdom and leading pertaining to this. From the beginning of this Call, I have also known what Satan's counter attack would be.
This commandment from the Lord to me, to Gather His Apostles from around the world, must be taken seriously. It is to the benefit of all in the Body of Christ and the entire Kingdom of God in the Earth.
This is a serious matter; I wouldn't want to be one, who opposes this, out of doctrines of men. I wouldn't want to be one, who tries to take this over, as though it were spoken and commanded of him, when it was not. Because this would only cause confusion and division. It would only serve the cause of Satan. This is very dangerous. This needs to be done, with the utmost of Integrity and without the traditions of men and devils. We must, as a Body, make the best-concerted effort possible under God, to get this message to the Apostles and the entire Body of Christ, in the Earth. We must make this effort, to begin to restore God's Order in the Church. As we do, I am convinced that we will be Blessed as the Lord meets us there. It is the Time of the End. We must obey God, in His Wisdom.
Each one of us as a member of the Body of Christ are called. In whatever capacity we are called, it is to Serve the Lord and Follow Him.
Every time, I hear the Lord speak to me about a new direction, I question it. I challenge it. I wait to have it confirmed to me before I act upon it. I do this not to be rebellious. Not to Challenge my God. But I have learned that it has very strong consequences to every part of my life. Therefore I feel that it is imperative to be sure that it is God the Father, the Lord Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit.
As I said in Chapter Ten, the Lord began speaking to me in the last year that I spent in Asia. His leading was intense, He was telling to move towards the Vision He gave me back in 1979, and to build a Mission Center to the Indo-China Region directed to the countless villages. I had no idea how to go towards the Vision, I did have the knowledge and wisdom for building the Mission Center. I know that I have been on course, towards the manifestation of that Vision for the last eighteen years. A vision, where the Lord catches you up into the Spirit, to show you something to come, is very important.
As soon as I returned to America, the Lord began dealing with me about writing this book. He had commanded me to begin writing while I was overseas. The Lords command to me, to Gather His Apostles from around the world, into one place and time, as has not been done since the days of Pentecost, came when I thought I had already completed the book.
Christmas of 1995, after returning to the States, I was praying one morning for a job and a new beginning etc. I prayed for almost two hours that morning. Every Christian I met, was telling me to quit. Every situation and circumstance was pushing me to quit. After I finished praying, the Lord spoke to me and commanded me, to continue in the path of the ministry. He told me, that I had clear direction and If I didn't continue on, I would die. He let me know, that He didn't provide another door for me. I didn't mind the idea of dying, but dying in disobedience and rebellion to the Lord, scared me. From that time, He has held me apart, like a servant in bonds to the Lord Jesus Christ, to write this book, He has been imparting to me, over the last ten years. And to hear His new direction, "GATHER MY APOSTLES"!
After He spoke this to me, He began to tell me and show me what He was doing now in my life. I began to see exactly, the direction from the Lord to the fulfilling of that Vision. For the last year and a half, at the time of this writing, the Lord has been speaking to me, revealing in His time, the direction for my calling and ministry for this time. To any who might think that these things are revealed instantly and without sacrifice, I can assure you that is not God's way. The Lord does not just speak to you; He imparts the wisdom and understanding in such a way, that it becomes a part of you. Before I went overseas as a missionary, the Lord dealt with me for almost two years, before He turned my life upside down, to take me to those people, who had not heard the Gospel. Again, it is not a small thing nor is it easy. The Lord takes it seriously, we must also.
I know, that the Lord has taken me off the Mission Field, for this time and for this purpose. I hope and I pray that as you read this short message, that you have a new and deeper understanding. I pray that you will have the wisdom, to help in every way you can, with this Gathering of the Lord's Apostles.
I believe all or most of the elements of an Apostle of the Lord Jesus Christ, are revealed throughout this book. The Lord did not want me to try and list the things that testify of an Apostle of Jesus Christ. I believe this book will help you, in the understanding of all the Callings of God and His Order, in His Kingdom in the Earth.
This Gathering of His Apostles, is not to be just another Conference for Apostles and Prophets, but a concerted effort to reach all of His Apostles around the world.
The conference will be attended by Apostles, Prophets, Evangelist, Pastors and teachers and any of the Body of Christ who wish to attend.
Please let me know, as soon as possible, if you would like to be at this Gathering of the Lords Apostles. I believe that those who have the wisdom to help bring this together, should be in the best position. And I will be able to keep you updated on the progress.
The command to Gather His Apostles was not only to the one event, but to restore their ministry in the Body of Christ and the Kingdom of God in the Earth from now until His return.
Among all of the Lords disciples around the world, He has called some to be Apostles. Some are of reputation, many are not. The church for so long, has denied the presence of Apostles and Prophets. Some will be in need of financial help to come to the gathering. Some will need sponsors to be to get a visa to attend this meeting. Many would claim to be Apostles when they are not.
This is where the second part of the Vision, the Lord gave me back in 1979, when He caught me up into the Spirit, is implemented. It is the part where I saw a panel of elders interviewing a man about his calling and ministry and then sending him into my office. I agreed with them that this man was indeed called of God and then we helped him. This description is written in the first chapter of this book. In order to obey the Lord in Gathering His Apostles, we will have to do our best to discern who is and who is not an Apostle. This is also the main reason the Lord gave me, for calling me to this job.
I need elders, those who are spiritually mature enough, to hear or read the testimonies of men, to discern whether or not they are called to be Apostles. We will have to discern and seek the answer from the Lord concerning each one. Once again, this must be handled with integrity, in the Spirit of God, without the traditions of men.
There is not much time. There really isn't much time, considering the World Wide Scope, of this Mission.
All of us in the Body of Christ right now, in this time in History, are truly a privileged and blessed people. We are going to see many things that many generations of believers did not see. The Lord really did choose to birth you into this particular time. I hope as you read this book that it has brought you to a better understanding. I hope that you can see clearly, what the Lord is about to do in the Earth.
If there was ever any reason, to let go of all division and to unite, I believe it is now, to obey God in bringing a sincere desire before God, to restore His Order in His Church, so that He can pour out His Glory for the Former and Latter rain. It is the time.
One Sunday morning in Dec. 96, I was watching a program, where the minister was talking about the Glory of the Lord coming in these last days. At one point, the Lord suddenly spoke to me, He said, "I have given you the Key that will unlock my Glory and the Final Move of my Spirit for these Last Days". I had not thought of it as a Key until the Lord Spoke that to me.
When I realized this was the Key to unlocking the very Glory of the Lord for the Last Days, I felt like one of the richest men who ever lived. I mean in the very core of my being I knew I had been blessed. Most of the things the Lord has commanded me to do in my walk with Him has been very difficult with much persecution. This too, is difficult, but with all my heart, I want to do this and be there, when He pours out of His Glory upon the True Church of Jesus Christ in the Last Days. Amen?
I pray that your spirit bares witness to this. This is for the final Harvest of Souls, to whom the Apostles have been given much of the direction from the Lord regarding this Harvest. This is very important. One man, cannot turn this Key, I need and ask for you help in any way that you can. Pray for the success of this Gathering and for the former and latter rain, as prophesied in the book of Joel.
The search is on right now, for the Apostles of Jesus Christ around the world, If you are interested in attending this meeting, please contact me. If you know any who are called to be Apostles, please give them my address.
This had never ever, even crossed my mind, until that morning, when the Lord God called my name and told me to Gather His Apostles. It really is not a strange thing, considering how He birthed His Church. He commanded the Apostles to gather and wait for the Promise of the Father. They were obedient. We must be obedient now. In that Gathering there were 120, only twelve were called to be Apostles. This is not just an Apostle thing, this is a Body of Christ thing. It is of and for the Kingdom of God. It is for the Gospel Sake.
To fulfill this Command, I need elders who can help me with the discernment necessary. I need prayer partners. I need to communicate with the body of Christ everywhere, personally and by means of the internet, mail and advertising. I need to print this book out and begin to distribute it to the Body of Christ as soon and as much as possible.
My calling and the direction of my ministry, has been turned for now towards the fulfilling of this assignment. I have committed to this completely. As you can see, it is going to take equipment, manpower, and finances to do the job. I am asking all of you to partner with me in this work. I know this is called of God and I know He will bless you as you become involved.
To any, who might read this work and find that it is arrogance. Please understand, it is not arrogance to testify of the great things we have the Lord do in our lives and in our presence. It is not arrogance to speak the things the Lord commands you to speak. It is not arrogance to perform the work the Lord has commanded you to do. It is disobedience not to. That is a great sin. If something like this sounds so great, it is because He is Great and does Great and Mighty things among us. To receive the things of God, given to His servants as arrogance on the part of that servant, is to not understand. And It tries to rob God, of His Glory that should return unto Him.
It also makes the life of that servant much harder, because he has no other choice, than to obey the Lord. It hinders the work of the Lord.
I know that I know, by everything I have heard in the Spirit of God, that there is but a short time. Even one year ago, I might not have spoken with such certainty. I can see God's wisdom in this Gathering of His Apostles. I hope you can see it too. It makes sense. In the time we live, there is great division and chaos pertaining to God's Order. To which of the Independent ministries of the status quo, do you think the Lord could righteously use, to pour out the Final move of His Spirit for the Last Days? Why would the Lord go against His Own Order and Ways? He would not. He does not. We must come to Order.
From Chapter 1: The ultimate Restoration, is the Lord God Restoring this world unto Himself. But it begins in His Church, now in this time. Restoring order to the Church is the first step. The Church without Order, is weakened and yet all of creation is waiting. The return of the Lord is Eminent. As we begin to understand and correct those things that are out of Order, then the Lord can and will restore power to the overall Church. Without Order, there can be no Unity. The Covenant Restoration will also be restored to us as individuals.
For these Last Days, the Lord desires to Restore His Glory upon His Church for the final move of His Spirit. He is coming back for His Glorious Church. There will be many voices raising up in this time Calling for Order, Calling for Restoration some will heed these voices, some will not. Some will defend the status quo with all their hearts, as though it is the very will of God. Some will be so hungry for true restoration. True restoration; will bring all of God's Blessings on every aspect of our existence. (Physical, Spiritual, Financial.)
There is a great expectation in the Body of Christ and in the world concerning these Last Days. The expectations are valid. The Final Chapters, of the Book Acts of the Apostles, is about to be played out in front of our very eyes. There has been a sudden interest and activity concerning the Apostles and Prophets in the last few years. I wasn't aware of this, while I was ministering overseas. But this renewed attention to Apostles, is fueled by God. I believe the Lord, has given me a very good insight to the subject of Apostles. I have heard many, even of world renown, mishandle this issue.
In May 1997, I was listening to a preacher, talk about a new research, on the Birth of Our Lord, using the Jewish Calendar. He was saying that the research showed that the Lord was born on September 27, or 28, 4 BC As he spoke, the Lord Spoke to me again and said, that is the exact time, I gave you the Command, to "Gather My Apostles". It was true, it was in the last few days of September 1996, when the Lord called my name and spoke to me at five in the morning. That would mean, that exactly at the end of the 2000-year period, since our Lord Jesus Christ, came into the Earth, He gave a Command to "Gather His Apostles".
We are in a short window of time, where the Love, Mercy, and Grace of God, can still be manifest to the World, before all Hell breaks loose on the Earth. The Lord in His Mercy, is Calling us to Order. There will be no other time like this.
Consider this carefully, I testify to you, that the Lord God Almighty has spoken to me and told me, that this Gathering of His Apostles will unlock His Glory and the Final Move of His Spirit. This time, in the Ancient of Days which is now, literally millions of believers will be gathered in the upper room with these Apostles by Television. The Spirit of God, knows no bounds. It won't be a small upper room but a large auditorium. There will be many more, than twelve Apostles and they will be gathered, from the Nations of the Earth. Each one, having an assignment, given to them by the Lord Jesus Christ the Head of the Church. The believers who gather together with them, in the Auditorium and by means of Television, will all be filled and changed, by this Unlocking of the Lords Glory and Spirit, for the Former and Latter Rain. The Lord will anoint His Apostles with fresh new oil, to enable them to fulfill their Missions. Then, and at the same time, the Body of Christ at large.
The Lord will be able to accomplish more in the earth in a short time, than we have been able to do in many generations. And the Time is Short.
I am starting a publication called, Gather My Apostles. We must hear the Lord in these Last Days. He does speak through His Apostles and Prophets. Contact me if you want to receive this publication.
The Lord told me, He has given me the KEY, to Unlock His Glory. No man can turn this KEY alone. You can help me turn this KEY. I do feel honored, and you should feel honored as well. It is no accident that this Call and information has come to you.
Begin to pray now, for the success of this Mission, So We can Give the Lord, the Meeting He has ordered. Pray, against any opposition. Pray for all the finances that are necessary.
I encourage and exhort you to actively participate, in the move of God to Restore and Call His Church to Order. This Call to Gather His Apostles is essential in moving in the Order of God. This, as I said in Chapter One is also a call to Restore the Office of Apostle and Prophet back to the Church. Your understanding of this and your willingness to receive the Apostles and Prophets may very well change your life and your walk with the Lord. If you are a Pastor, this could be the key that will unlock the flow of the Holy Spirit in your Church.
I ask you in the Name of our Lord Jesus and for the Gospels sake, to partnership with me, in this work. I look forward to hearing from you. May God Bless you and yours, with all the Blessings of His Holy Covenant, now in this time. I Love You ALL.
Your Servant in Christ Jesus the Lord,
Apostle Cary Goodwin
Remember, We are in a short window of time, where the Love, Mercy, and Grace of God, can still be manifest to the World, before all Hell breaks loose on the Earth. The Lord in His Mercy is Calling us to Order. There will be no other time like this
The End
God Bless You
and Keep You
Unto the Day of
His Coming.
