There is a new apostolic movement afoot, and it is leading many from the simplicity of the pure gospel. To be legitimate, the teaching emphasis and ministry expression of present-day apostles and prophets must reflect a correct gospel foundation: . the person and work of Christ as its focus, . spiritual death and resurrection as its method, . and the indwelling Spirit as its power. Instead, the new apostolic reformation movement, with its emphasis on apostolic authority, "spiritual covering," loyalty, honor, submission, and government, has become the vehicle to build the philosophies and kingdoms of men. Dr. Stephen Crosby's third book, Authority, Accountability, and the Apostolic Movement, probes these and other authority/submission issues from a biblically disciplined, Christ-centered, New Covenant perspective. Within these pages, every believer, church leader, apostle, or prophet who may have wandered from the simplicity of the gospel can find the road to recovery. Oh, where was this book when I was in seminary!? As the fourth in a spiritual lineage of shipwrecked preachers, I can testify to the life-threatening impact brought on by the stress of liv-ing under a faulty understanding of authority and control in the church. I have one thing to say about this book: better late than never! This book is a must read for all Christians. -Pastor Chris Savino, Wasilla, AK Dr. Stephen Crosby and his wife, Rita, have pioneered churches in four states and ministered in churches, seminars, and Bible schools internationally. Steve graduated from Corning Community College, Corning, NY and Christian International School of Theology, Santa Rosa Beach, FL and is an adjunct professor for BeaconUniversity Insti-tute of Ministry. Steve and Rita currently direct the Wave of Life Education Schools and Semi-nars and itinerate in prophetic-apostolic ministry. They have three grown children and five grandchildren.

This book examines different authority teachings and practices common in the so-called New Apostolic Reformation Movement and in many independent Evangelical churches. Topics often heard within that movement deal with issues such as: church government and order, ruling over, honor/culture of honor, authority and submission, loyalty, spiritual fathering and sonship, spiritual covering/apostolic covering" and others. This book critiques these themes and finds them to be biblically without merit as typically presented and toxic in their harmful effects in those who have had the misfortune to be exposed to them. Many who may ask an honest question of leadership are often accused of being disloyal, being "wounded," having a problem with submission to authority, or having a "Jezebel spirit," the so-called "set-man," and other controlling canards. This book will equip readers with the ability to resist the forceful presentation of the distorted doctrines. It will help those who have experienced these things recover from the damage that they have endured, and it will inoculate others who have not been exposed to the abusive doctrines. This book provides antidotes and solutions for healthy relationships in a new covenant community of grace that does not capitulate to the anarchic spirit of our times under the guise of spiritual liberty.

Apostolic ministry and authority has been defined and implemented differently over the centuries. In this brief study, the Scriptures are examined. Additionally, an investigation of the historical documents of the Church Fathers is included, followed by an inquiry on the modern Charismatic interpretations. Tough questions surrounding "apostolic succession" area addressed here. Perhaps these three angles of viewing apostolic ministry and authority could be sufficiently merged to form a more comprehensive view.

Authority for Assignment answers the question: How will “God’s Government” affect the marketplace today? It will happen through the restoration of one of God’s greatest supernatural technologies... “The Mantle of Misrah!” Misrah is a Hebrew word that means—Government and prevailing power. Inside this powerful mantle we’ve been given a supernatural problem-solving dynamic that restores the marketplace to its highest level of function for the Kingdom of God! We’re given the ability to rule and reign as kings and queens in the earth and to govern above every threat level to become productive and successful. Isaiah 9:6-7 says that the mantle of government was upon the shoulders of Jesus, and of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end. You will be empowered with fresh revelation and strategies as the Mantle of Misrah forms upon your shoulders!
