Once God the Father's DIVINE FATHERHOOD is established and set in order, and He is reigning theocratically over His people's lives, the resulting manifestation and continuance of fatherhood is meant to flow down in this sequence:
|
1.
|
Divine Fatherhood
|
(God the Father's Fatherhood over all)
|
|
2.
|
Spiritual Fatherhood
|
(A spiritual, five-fold apostle of God,who is the only five-fold ministry gift that can bring you into complete fatherhood, for that is the work of Jesus the Great Apostle that flows through him. No man is a SUBSTITUTE FOR God the Father, but a true spiritual/ministry father serves as a REPRESENTATIVE OF God the Father in your life. This man of God carries the commission of God to which you are assigned, and he faithfully watches over your soul that he may give account of you to God one day with joy and not with grief (Heb. 13:17), with the help of other five-fold ministry sons who become elders, or fathers also. This man of God is set over your life to see that you become a true son or daughter to God the Father (by first becoming a true son or daughter to a true father), and that you come into all other levels of fatherhood, which will bring your life into the fullness and balance of The Prince of Peace and His rule, dominion, protection, and provision.)

3.
|
Domestic Fatherhood
|
(A father in the domestic home who, aligning his ways with God the Father, the spiritual father, and the spiritual/ministry house where God has placed him, also continues teaching and raising up his domestic family in the nurture and admonition of the Lord [which he learns in the spiritual/ministry house], and trains them up in life's matters concerning domestic responsibility.)

GOD THE BECOMING FATHER comes to bring Fatherhood/fatherhood into all of these six areas of your life. A FULL-FLEDGED APOSTOLIC SPIRITUAL FATHER is the only one of the five-fold ministry who can cause this complete fathering to be accomplished in your life...IT IS THE TASK OF A TRUE APOSTLE TO BRING FORTH THIS WORK OF GOD IN YOUR LIFE - BRINGING YOU UP INTO GOD THE DIVINE FATHER, WHICH WILL THEN CAUSE ALL OF THE OTHER AREAS OF FATHERHOOD TO FALL INTO ALIGNMENT!
