The Call of an Apostolic /Prophetic People
In the Word of God, the word Prophet is used to describe one who is a seer. They see and hear the Lord God and then respond to the people according to what they have heard. The Prophet is sensitive to the voice of God; he operates with the mind of Christ and not his own. He moves as if he were the hands, eyes, feet, ears of Jesus, and as if he is the very mouthpiece of God.
The Abundant Life Church of Erie is an assembly of believers who have a love for the Lord and who are called to a place of intimacy in the presence of our Father. We seek to know the Father more and walk in the obedience of His Word.
We are apostolic in that we endeavor to break the fallow ground around us and advance the Kingdom of God with demonstration and power. We are prophetic in that we have presented ourselves to the Lord as vessels for His glory.
As we learn to love the Father, we learn how to love one another. Our preparation begins with building character qualities in the depths of our hearts so that, in the time to come, we will be able to manifest the anointing (Glory of God) with wisdom and in greater measure. Our challenge is to add to our daily living such habits as prayer, singing, and walking and living in the Spirit.
