We need to address the issue between Apostles and Bishops, as The Father is restoring Apostles to their governmental position in the Church. There is confusion concerning these two terms that needs to be resolved.

We are living in one of the most incredible times where knowledge has and is increasing to the degree it seems as if though the world is advancing more and more in technology, information and in so many other areas. Many people in the world are advancing in their profession becoming the professionals that they are, through continual educating themselves to be the expert in the area of their vocation. While the Body of Christ as of yet, have not come to understand that ministry offices and gifts require the professionalism that God ordained before the foundation of the world. The Church must demand that His ministers become trained and educated starting first with apostles, knowing what God has establish for His Church. The days of God's ministers not having the knowledge of apostles and apostleship are over.

I want to provide a basic guide for PRAYER proclamations, declarations and decrees. Prayer in our lives and ministries must not be an event, but a culture. This book is a guide towards breakthrough prayers that open the heavens in the Earth. Our Nations and Cities must be impacted by the power of God, with demonstrations of the supernatural, miracles, signs and wonders. I felt the need to provide some guidelines and some recommendations for changing the atmosphere and climate in a region. Our prayers must be more authoritative, precise, impacting and directional.

In this Thirty Days of Focus Prayer, Apostle R. Joshua Mitchell carefully unfolds key passages from the Bible, demonstrating how to be a prayer asking Christ Jesus to teach us to pray, understanding that men must always pray and not faint. The apostolic prayer strategies found in this book will draw the reader more into becoming a prayer and not just praying when things happen or when you want something from the Lord. You will be a prayer meeting. The time has come when all Christians must realize the power of prayer, knowing the way Jesus prayed which was authoritative, powerful prayers that Heaven heard and always responded to, and these prayers removed the power of darkness wherever it existed.

With the increasing problems facing the Body of Christ where so many ministers are operating and ministering without having some basic knowledge of the Word of God and the lack of understanding the Word of God, this book will reveal the need for those He has called minister to have structured education and training's for their calling and vocation. To present answers too many of the detriments of the poorly trained or unschooled ministers of the Lord and to His people. (note: unschooled refers to ministers with little or no formalized training, operating strictly on their devotional encounters with the Lord.) To challenge God's called ministers to seek genuine guide-lines for knowledge and ministerial skills, following the Biblical standards for educating and training the Body of Christ to become sons of God.
