The Fortress Church

What kind of church does God need in the earth today to powerfully impact the nations for Christ and advance His Kingdom in this century? I believe this is on the most important questions that Apostles and Prophets must answer. Apostle Michael Scantlebury is a visionary apostolic leader and gifted communicator whose new book "The Fortress Church" contains a revelatory exposition from Scripture that gives us an accurate and compelling picture of what this Church should look like. As Michael Scantlebury's writing sketches for us from God's Word the blueprint of the powerful Church of influence, he also puts an emphasis on the profound truth that only through apostolic revelation can it be clearly seen, and only be apostolic wisdom can it be accurately built. The incredible supernatural design, architecture and dynamics of this glorious Church God has destined for planet earth is clearly found throughout Scripture. But because of centuries of tradition, much of the pattern of how to build it has been hidden from our spiritual eyes. The past 500 years of reformation ignited by Martin Luther and many others, have progressively brought the Church out of the dark ages, restoring to Her so many biblical truths that began to make Her strong and vibrant again. Apostle Michael Scantlebury takes his place as a missional thinker, risk-taking pioneer and apostolic reformer in this 21st century, who's published works concerning present truth, the restoration of the ministry gift of the Apostle, and the Apostolic Church, is making a tremendous contribution and impact to a fresh and new apostolic reformation movement that is circling the globe in this season and growing exponentially. I am pleased to endorse "The Fortress Church" as a must read for every ministry leader who desires a greater perspective and insight into the plan of God for His Church in this generation, and in the ones to come, and I want to commend Michael Scantlebury for giving us such a timely work. -- Apostle Axel Sippach (Executive Director, IMPACT Network, Seattle, WA)
