we at Our Father's House embrace all off the below terms according to full word of God
FIVEFOLD MINISTERS / MINISTRIES
These are the fivefold ascension gift ministers as revealed in Ephesians 4:11 - Apostle, Prophet, Evangelist, Pastor and Teacher. They are not gifts of the Holy Spirit, but an extension of Christ’s headship ministry to the Church. Their primary ministry and function are to teach, train, activate and mature the saints for the work of their ministries (Eph. 4:12-13).
APOSTOLIC-PROPHETIC CHURCHES
This is the term used to identify local churches within the Network of Prophetic Ministries and Churches. Those who qualify for recognition and promotion as a prophetic local church will have developed the following ministries within the church: qualified prophetic ministers and saints capable of forming prophetic presbytery,. prophetic teams for healing, prophetic counseling, prophesying, and ministering God’s grace and deliverance by the gifts of the Holy Spirit. The prophetic pastor needs sufficient experience and maturity to give proper oversight, structure, motivation and direction in order to maintain control without restricting the flow of the miraculous apostolic -prophetic ministry.
APOSTOLIC-PROPHETIC LIFESTYLE
These are the people who live their lives according to the logos and rhema word of God. The logos is their general standard for living and the rhema gives direction in specific areas of their lives. The fruit of the Holy Spirit is their characteristic motivation, and the gifts of the Spirit are their manifestation to meet the needs of mankind. They are allowing their lives to become a prophetic expression of Galatians 2:20: "I’m crucified with Christ; nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave Himself for me."
APOSTOLIC-PROPHETIC EVANGELISM
Evangelism is in the heart of God. Christ died to save sinners. Jesus came to seek and to save those who are lost (Matt. 18:11). Evangelism was restored in the Evangelical Movement during the 1600s and has taken on new dimensions with each additional move of God. The Prophetic-Apostolic Movement is like wise adding a new dimension to evangelism. Saints are being instructed and activated in the supernatural gifts of the Holy Spirit. They are being trained within the church but the goal is to send prophetic-apostolic evangelism teams into the highways and by ways compelling the people to come into the kingdom of God with supernatural spiritual ministry. After the prophets and apostles are fully restored, there will three more restorational moves of God, which will cause more souls to be saved than have been saved since the Church began. The final move of God will finalize the fulfillment of all things that are necessary for Jesus to return and establish His kingdom over all the earth.
APOSTLE
One of the fivefold ministries of Ephesians 4:11. The Apostle is a foundation-laying ministry (Eph. 2:20) that we see in the New Testament establishing new churches (Paul’s missionary journeys), correcting error by establishing proper order and structure (First Epistle to the Corinthians), and acting as an oversight ministry that fathers other ministries (1 Cor. 4:15; 2 Cor: 11 :28). The New Testament Apostle has a revelatory  anointing (Eph. 3:5). Some major characteristics are great patience and manifestations of signs, wonders and miracles. We will know more and see greater manifestations concerning the apostle during the peak of the Apostolic Movement.
PROPHET
He is a man of God whom Christ has given the ascension gift of a “prophet" (Eph. 4:11; 1 Cor: 12:28; 14:29; Acts 11:27; 13:1). A prophet is one of the fivefold ascension gift ministers who are an extension of Christ’s ministry to the Church. He is an anointed minister who has the gifted ability to perceive and speak the specific mind of Christ to individuals, churches, businesses and nations.
GREEK: “prophetes" (prof-ay-tace) a foreteller; an inspired speaker (STRONG'S Concordance, p. 62; VINE'S Concordance, p. 894). A proclaimer of a divine message, denoted among the Greeks as an interpreter of the oracles of gods. In the Septuagint it is the translation of the word “roeh”-- a seer -- indicating that the prophet was one who had immediate intercourse with God (1 Sam. 9:9). It also translates the word “nabhi" meaning either “one in whom the message from God springs forth, or one to whom anything is secretly communicated" (Amos 3:7; Eph. 3:5).
PROPHETESS
GREEK: “prophetis" -- the feminine of prophet (Gr: prophetess). A woman of God whom the Holy Spirit has given the divine prophetic ability to perceive and speak the mind of Christ on specific matters to particular people.
STRONG'S: a “female foreteller or an inspired woman." She is a specially called woman who functions like the New Testament prophet to minister to the Body of Christ with inspired speaking and prophetic Utterance (Acts 2:17; 21:9; Luke 2:36; Isa.8:3; 2 Chron. 34:22; Jude 4; Ex. 15:20). Prophetess is the proper title for a woman with this ascension gift and calling. Prophet is the proper title for a man with this ascension gift and calling.
EVANGELIST
The traditional view of the evangelist is a bearer of the "Good News," proclaiming the gospel to the unbelieving world. This is exemplified by modern day evangelists who preach the message of salvation in crusades and the like. However; Philip, the New Testament Evangelist mentioned in Acts 21 :8, demonstrated a strong supernatural dimension to the Evangelistic ministry. Philip preached the gospel to the lost (Acts 8:5), moved in miracles (8:6), delivered people from demons (8:7), received instructions from an angel (8:26), had revelation knowledge (8:29), and was supernaturally translated from Gaza to Azotus (8:26,40). We are looking forward to the restoration of this type of Prophetic Evangelist to the Body of Christ.
PASTOR
“Poiment, a shepherd, one who tends herds or flocks (not merely one who feeds them), is
used metaphority of Christian ‘pastors’.” Epikopeo (overseer, bishop) is an overseer, and Pesbuterors (Vine’s). They normally give title to the senior minister of the local church, regardless of this fivefold calling. It is the shepherding ministry to feed and care of the flock. Responsibilities that appear connected with pastoral ministry include oversight and care of the saints, providing spiritual food for their growth and development, leadership and guidance, and counsel.
PROPHETIC PASTORS
Prophetic pastors not only do the things normally associated with pastoring, but also move in supernatural graces and gifts of God (prophesying, word of knowledge, healing) and have the vision and willingness to develop the saints in their gifts and callings.
TEACHER
An instructor of truth. "All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness" (2 Tim. 3:16). A New Testament Apostolic-Prophetic Teacher is one who not only teaches the letter of the word, but also ministers with divine life and Holy Spirit anointing (2 Cor. 3:6). He exhibits keen spiritual discernment and divine insight into the Word of God and its personal application to believers.
APOSTOLIC-PROPHETIC MINISTERS
Apostolic-Prophetic ministers are all other ministers .who do not have the office of the ” prophet,” but who do hold another office of the fivefold ministry and believe that there are apostles and prophets in the Church today. They may move in prophetic ministry by prophesying with the gift of prophecy, or by giving personal prophecy with a prophetic presbytery, do prophetic counseling and ministry with gifts of the Holy Spirit, or minister in prophetic worship. All fivefold New Testament ministers in whichever office should be able to speak a rhema word revealing the mind and purpose of God for specific situations and people (2 Cor. 3:6; 1 Cor. 14:31). They should also manifest the  miraculous.
APOSTOLIC-PROPHETIC PEOPLE
They are the people of God who are full of the Holy Spirit and are ful-filling the scriptural command to "desire spiritual gifts, covet to prophesy” (1 Cor.12:31; 14:1-2,39). They believe in, propagate and support the ministry of apostates and prophets in the church today. They are earnestly desiring gifts and are exercising their spiritual senses to be fully educated and activated in all gifts of the Holy Spirit that Christ has ordained for them, including but not limited to the gift of prophecy and miracles. They are also submitted to divine authority and order (Heb. 5:14, 1 Cor. 12:1,7,11; 15:16).
APOSTOLIC-PROPHETIC MINISTRY
This includes all the methods by which the Holy Spirit makes known the heart and mind of Christ to people. Prophetic ministry includes the ministry of the prophet, prophetic ministers, and all prophetic people. It includes all the ministry and manifestations of the Holy Spirit and all the scriptural ways in which God can be praised. This includes prophetic worship with singing, praising, prophesying, song of the Lord, praise dance, mime and sign language. In fact, it includes all dedicated physical expressions that may properly glorify God and edify the Church. Apostolic ministry is moving in the supernatural ministry with patience, while maintaining a proper relationship in the Body of Christ. It is those who have a burden for the great end-time harvest.
APOSTOLIC-PROPHETIC ANOINTING OR MANTLE
An in-depth study of the word anoint reveals that it was used to consecrate people to a particular position or ministry. In ministering with an apostolic-prophetic anointing, it means one can minister with some blessings of that ministry. It is those who are ministering under the anointing of apostles and prophets. Prophet Isaiah declares that we destroy yokes because of the anointing (Isa. 10:27). In present-day application, this means the manifest presence of God upon a person to meet specific needs. To say a person has an apostolic or prophetic anointing means that he or she has the calling to be anointed to minister at different times with the anointing of the prophet or apostle. It does not necessarily mean the person has the calling or office of a prophet or apostle. Mantle has a similar meaning. If someone has prophesied that you have a prophetic mantle, it implies that you can minister in prophetic ministry. To what realm will be determined by time and use (Ex. 28:41,. Ps. 2:2; 23:5; 105:15; Zech. 4:6,. Heb. 1:19).
PROPHECY
GREEK: 'propheteia," a noun that "signifies the speaking forth of the mind and counsel of God. It is the declaration of that which cannot be known by natural means. It is the forth-telling of the will of God, whether with reference to the past, the present, or the future " (VINE'S, p. 893). New Testament prophecy functions in three realms:
  • 1) Jesus giving inspired testimony and praise through one of His saints by prophetic utterance or song of the Lord (Heb. 2:12; Rev. 19:10).
  • 2) One of the manifestations of the Holy Spirit called the gift of prophecy, which brings edification, exhortation and comfort to the Body of Christ ( 1 Cor. 12:10; Rom. 12:6).
  • 3) The prophet speaking by divine utterance the mind and counsels of God and giving a rhema word for edification, direction, correction, confirmation and instruction in righteousness ( 1 Cor.: 14:29; 2 nm. 3:16-17).

A truly, divinely inspired prophecy is the Holy Spirit expressing the thoughts and desires of Christ through a human voice.
PROPHETIC PRESBYTERY
Prophetic Presbytery is when two or more prophets and/or prophetic ministers lay hands on and prophesy over individuals at a specified time and place. Prophetic presbyteries are conducted for several reasons:
1) For revealing a church members membership ministry in the Body of Christ.
2) For ministering a prophetic rhema word of God to individuals.
3) For impartation and activation of divinely ordained gifts, graces and callings.
4) For the revelation, clarification and confirmation of leadership ministry in the local church.
5) For the "laying on of hands and prophecy" over those called and properly prepared to be an ordained fivefold  minister.
PROPHETIC PRAYING
Basically, it is Spirit-directed praying. Praying with natural understanding is asking God’s help about matters of which we have natural knowledge. Prophetic praying is prophesying with prayer phraseology. It is praying out of one's spirit in his natural known tongue, flowing the same as one praying out of his spirit in unknown tongues. The prayer is on target and touches specific areas unknown in the natural to the one praying and uses prophetic motivation, word of knowledge, discerning of spirits, word of wisdom, etc. Intercessory prayer is much more effective when it moves into the realm of prophetic praying. In ministering to people in churches who do not understand or promote prophesying, prophetic ministry can still bless the people through prophetic praying. Instead of prophesying, “thus saith the Lord" or “the Lord shows me that..., " you  verbalize by saying, "Lord, we pray for this..." Jesus, You see what he or she has been going through regarding..... or how difficult it has been in the area of ... or overcoming...," etc.
APOSTOLIC-PROPHETIC COUNSELING
Apostolic-Prophetic counseling serves a little different purpose than the ministry of the prophet, prophetic presbytery or general counseling. It is one-on-one ministry to help people with scriptural wisdom and insight, but also with the gifts of the Holy Spirit to discover root problems and minister deliverance, inner healing, etc. The word of knowledge and discerning of spirits are two key gifts necessary to move in this realm effectively. It allows the counselor to cut through hours of discussion and look beyond the veil of human reasoning to get right to the heart of the matter and bring resolution. This is what makes Biblical counseling much more effective than that of the psychologist and psychiatrist who use only human wisdom and psychology. It deals with the root more than the fruit.
LOGOS
GREEK: “word" – the unchanging, inerrant, creative and inspired word of God. (See Psalm 119:89: “For ever, O Lord, Thy  word [logos] is settled in heaven.” ) (See also Second Timothy 3:16 and First Corinthians 2:13.) Logos is the entire written Word of God - the Holy Bible. It is the complete revelation of God - His personage, character, plan and eternal purpose-as found in the Scriptures.
RHEMA
GREEK: "word" – derived from the verb “to speak.” (See Romans 10: 17: "So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word [rhema] of God.” ) A rhema is a word or an illustration God speaks directly to us, and it addresses our personal, particular situation. It is a timely, Holy Spirit - inspired Word from the logos that brings life, power and faith to perform and fulfill it. Its significance is exemplified in the injunction to take the "sword of the Spirit, which is the word [rhema] of God" (Eph. 6:17). It can be received through others such as by a prophetic word, or be an illumination given to one directly in their personal meditation time in the Bible or in prayer. The Logos is the fixed word of God  -- the Scriptures -- and the rhema is a particular portion in line with the logos brought forth by the Spirit to be applied directly to something in our personal experience.
PROPHETIC WARFARE PRAISE AND WORSHIP
They are Biblical expressions of praise and adoration (singing, clapping, dancing, lifting of hands, bowing, etc.) that are directed to God, inspired and directed by the Holy Spirit, and which come forth from the heart of man. Prophetic worship is where Gods voice is heard and His presence felt as Christ begins to sing and express praise to the Father through His people (Heb. 2:12; Ps. 22:22; Rev. 19:10). These high praises of God both exalt the Lord and accomplish spiritual warfare in the heaven lies (Ps. 149:6-9; Eph. 6:12; 2 Cor.10:4-6). It is worship that is expressed in obedience to a prompting of God that brings forth a prophetic word, mantle or anointing that results in the manifestation of Gods power (2 Chron. 20:14-22; 2 Kings 3:15; 1 Sam. 10:5-6).
PROPHETIC SONG
A song that is inspired, anointed and directed by the Holy Spirit through an individual; usually spontaneous in nature, which expresses the mind of God in musical form. It is literally prophecy through song (referred to in the New Testament as spiritual songs). (See Colossians 3:16 and Ephesians 5:19.) These songs are directed to man for the purpose of edification, exhortation and comfort or may be directed to God as the Holy Spirit helps us express our deep devotion that we could not ordinarily express by ourselves (Heb. 2:12; Rom. 8:27; Zeph. 3:17: "The Lord thy God...will joy over [or through] thee with singing").
PROPHETIC PRAISE-DANCE AND SIGN
Physical movements that are inspirational and anointed by the Holy Spirit and many times accompanied by prophetic song (song of the Lord; spiritual songs). (See Exodus 15:20-21 and First Samuel 21:11.) It is used in praise, adoration and worship to God, which can in itself release a prophetic anointing (1 Sam. 18:6). It may be spontaneous or choreographed (pre planned). At times, it may communicate divine thoughts, ideas and purposes-a visible expression of what God is saying (Acts 21:10-11; Job 42:5: "My ears had heard of you but now my eyes have seen you" [NIVJ).
GRACE
Grace is God’s divine unmerited enablement's. It is God s free abilities (gifts, talents, etc.) being demonstrated through a human vessel in spite of sin and human frailties. It is having God s unearned supernatural ability to perform and execute whatever He has willed to the individual saint (Eph. 2:8-9).
ACTIVATION
To challenge God’s people with the truth to receive and manifest the grace to do what the Bible says they can do. It is arousing, triggering, stirring and releasing God’s abilities within the saints. Gifts are given by the Holy Spirit but activated by the faith of the believer: It is like the gift of Eternal Life, which is freely given, but is not activated within the individual until he believes in his heart and confesses with his mouth the Lord Jesus.
MEMBERSHIP MINISTRY
It is the individual members in the Body of Christ finding and manifesting their God-given talents, abilities and callings, so that "every joint" will supply according to God’s plans and purposes (Eph. 4: 16; 1 Cor:12:7-11; 14:26; 1 Pet. 4:10). Every member in the Body of Christ has a ministry and needs to be educated anti activated into it.
SCHOOL OF THE HOLY SPIRIT
It is a training time in which God‘s saints are disciple in a "hot house" environment to discern the language of the Holy Spirit and manifest the gifts of the Holy Spirit under proper oversight and care. It is a time and place to learn to discern between the human soul and the realm of the Holy Spirit (Heb. 5: 14). It is a place where the saints allow the Holy Spirit and Word to operate in them, thereby causing them to Exercise their Spiritual Senses (E.S.S.) and Exercise their Spiritual Gifts (E.S.G.). But they are trained to know the difference between the natural mind and the Holy Spirit so that they do not move in the physic realm of E.S.P.
SHARING THE MIND OF CHRIST
(A Sanctified Thought): It is the ability of every believer to draw upon the indwelling Christ and then sharing without using God head terminology ("Thus saith the Lord, God says, or Thus saith the Spirit," etc.). It is what the Christian senses from his or her redeemed spirit where Christ dwells. It is the activation that prepares the believer to determine if he or she has the ability to give an accurate prophecy. This is based upon First Corinthians 2:16, Revelation 19:10 and Romans 12:6.)
COMPANY OF PROPHETS
This term today refers to the multitude of prophets God is raising up around the world in these last days to usher in the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. These prophets are being brought forth to be taught, trained and activated into their preordained ministry of “preparing the way for Jesus to return and establish His Kingdom over all the earth"
(Isa. 40:3,5), as well as "making ready a people for Christ's return." They labor to purify the Church in righteousness and mature the saints for ministry, bride hood, co-labor ship and co-reigning over Gods vast domain (Luke 1:17; Eph. 4:11,.5:27).
SCHOOL OF PROPHETS (Sons of the Prophets)
Webster's Dictionary: "Among the ancient Israelites, a school or college in which young men were educated and trained to become teachers of religion among the people. These students were called 'Sons of the Prophets.' " This refers to a group of people who have the calling to prophetic ministry and have come together at one place to be schooled in hearing and recognizing the true voice of God and how to properly and timely minister that word with grace and wisdom for the greatest glory to God and good to mankind. Samuel is recognized as the founder of the School of Prophets, which was continued by such prophets as Elijah and Elisha. Based on First Samuel 19:18,24, regarding Saul, David and Samuel, the "school of the prophets " also serves as a covering for the David company (the new order for ministry that God is raising up) to nurture and protect them from persecution of the old religious order (Saul's).
APOSTLE-PROPHET SEMINARS
These are seminars conducted to teach, train and activate saints concerning the gifts of the Spirit and prophetic-apostolic ministry in order to raise up a prophetic-apostolic people of the Lord.
