The Apostolic Covering of Christ

Christ is our Our Spiritual Covering

In the beginning God introduced one way or method of providing the flow of blessing & protection in spiritual life. An apostolic covering is to be fully covered with the covering of Christ. There are different forms and systems to leadership and government. A mixture of man's wisdom and Bible truth have established partial truth & coverings over the body of Christ. Christ's presence blesses and visits these structures built by man. The the apostolic covering, the covering of Christ, which He supplies He himself inhabits producing a spiritual house for His glory to reside.

Man's traditional covering by a local church or an organization today only reflects that a believer is not independent and that they are submitted and accountable to an eldership of a local church or to an apostolic coalition of kingdom leaders. It reflects that someone was watching over a life through relationship of a genuine believer, and that they understand the true apostolic covering is given by their relationship in Christ.

The spiritual covering of Christ is a power dimension. It is not only accountability, safety and protection, but is the source of spiritual power to advance in God's kingdom. Under true spiritual covering, the power of heaven flows down and over and is at work because Christ is your spiritual covering. The apostolic covering of Christ is God providing spiritual covering through his son Jesus Christ.

If we are to have the full measure of spiritual covering and not just a partial covering, there must be a spiritual submission that relates us to the apostolic anointing from which flows from the life of Christ alone. An apostolic covering, the covering of Christ, is God's government fully functioning in divine order, producing tremendous spiritual power to advance the kingdom of God.
