ALPHA GENERATION OF GOD’S OMEGA DISPENSATION

By apostle Ivo Koychev

Apostle Ivo Koychev opened the conference after the mighty and breakthrough apostolic praise with the words, that In the wings of the new song God will declare and release a Reformation and that we will declare what the Lord is doing in our nation. The word, that Apostle Ivo Koychev released challenged the faith of the saints and activated their expectation about the things that the Lord would do during the days of the Conference. He declared that we are standing in front of the open door of the Lord for new beginnings: “I am with the expectation something new to be released in Stara Zagora City”.

Apostle Ivo Koychev started with the fact, that God is moving in a new way. God is doing a demonstration of something new. He started in the form of a seed, but we are with an expectation, and we are watering with faith this seed, so we can see its fruit after not a long time. Apostle Ivo emphasized on Isaiah 43:18-21, saying that this word deals not only with separate personalities and destinies, but also with the destiny of the Church in Bulgaria. The Lord will engrave His Word in a generation that will move apostolically. The Lord is restoring His authority in the Church, starting with the ecclesiastical authority. He is raising apostles and prophets. The Lord is not restoring a title, but the function. He wants the believers to move and function apostolically in the world.

When we speak of Reformation, this means everything to be placed in Divine order. And what do a reformer means? We ourselves to be used for the things that must be placed in order.

The religious structures are trying to localize the Church to its four walls, but today the Lord is raising apostles and prophets in our nation, that have a mandate to speak the Word of God, so the Church can be set on the right foundation – Christ – and to function in the global purposes of the Lord. Apostles and prophets are the reformer’s voice and they will raise themselves up today, so the word of God can be declared as it is. The Reformation will restore the altar of the Lord in our hearts.

The Reformation in this century will destroy the yoke of the religious slavery in the life of many Churches. Reformation in this century is God’s anointing for our life and for this generation. Today, the Lord is raising His Church to a new level, and places it above the storms of this world, so the Church can be a reformer’s voice. You are the ones that will change this world. God raises you up to change nations, so the Lord can be expressed not only as the Lamb that was slain, but also as the Lord.

We will see change not only in Church realms and in the things connected closely with the Body of Christ, but also in every area of human existence. We must go out in the marketplace and start ruling through the authority that God is pouring over our life. There we must demonstrate the apostolic anointing and authority. The things we accept in the Church must be seen in the area in which God places us to rule. God is waiting for the Church to wake up. Apostle Ivo declared that it’s time for the Apostolic Reformation! The Church in Bulgaria must transition and go over its Jordan. No to the desert! Yes to the inheritance! The Reformation is not only for four walls! The Reformation is for this world. There’s coming a great wave of Apostolic Reformation. Ride on this wave, be an apostolic surfer, so You can enter Your inheritance. There’s coming an apostolic aggression in us to make this transition.

Prophecies through Apostle Ivo Koychev

Until two years, Church and Churches in this city, I will do not just an apostolic work. But I will do a great work in this city. Today I am pouring out a mighty grace upon You. I am immersing you, says the Lord of Hosts, in a fiery anointing today. Today I am cleansing yoursselves. Prepare yourselves; raise yourselves up, says the Lord of Hosts, because you are My reformer’s army. YouareMyapostolicarmy. YouareMypropheticarmy. Raiseyourselvesup, saystheLordofHosts. The Spirit of the Lord is descending upon the dead bones and they receive a form of life. This rain that the Lord is pouring down is for the whole nation. Donotremembertheoldandformerthings. Godplacesnewthings. Do not remember the things that have been; successes, failures and battles. Do not look at the bloody hands and the wounds of rejection. Today, says the Lord, I am healing you in a unique way.

Today, the rain of the Holy Spirit is coming down, so it can give us the power and anointing to be witnesses of Jesus Christ and the priorities of the Kingdom must be established upon the Earth.

God does not have a limit in His giving.

A new generation is arising, that will sing the song of the Lamb. And the Spirit of the Lord will not only sing the song of the Lamb, but will also declare the ruler ship of the Lamb, the rule of the King Jesus.

Apostolic Reformation of Praise and Worship in the Gypsy Churches

Apostle Ivo released a word concerning Praise and Worship in the Gypsy Churches. He challenged the pastors and leaders to transform their Praise and Worship, so they can be a part of the Apostolic Reformation, which the Lord wants to accomplish in our generation.

We must have a reformation in singing. Our singing must activate Heaven; activate the angels and the supernatural. It’s not a creativity to take the songs and rhythms of the world and have them in the Church. This is not pioneering and apostolic. True Praise and Worship towards the Lord comes from the Holy Spirit. It’s time the Gypsy ministries to be reformed in Praise and Worship. The folk rhythm must be stopped in the gypsy churches. Until there are ethnic things in Praise and Worship, they will stop the reformation in a given ministry. There is a price that Gypsy Praise and Worship leaders must pay, so they can stop the folk in the Churches.

In the new beginnings, the Lord will also give a new song. Demons come out because of a holy praise and anointing, coming out of the praise of the saints.

Pastors and leaders, give a chance to the Praisers to change! Give way to a new Praise – apostolic, prophetic! Praise in the Lord’s House must move with God’s time and God’s present work. Give chance to people to create! God wants to change the praise in this nation. Leaders must set aside time for working with the Praise and Worship. Gypsies must change their mentality. All ethnicities in this nation must become reformers and pioneers.

If we move in the purposes and intentions of the Lord, the anointing in our life will impress and draw the people. Everything that creates a sound can be used in praise to the Lord.

The raising up and the restoration of the Tabernacle of David is a Reformation. The Davidic Praise in the Church is the one that opens heaven. Praise is a means, through which we unlock the gates of Heaven and pull down and destroy the gates of the enemy.

The Lord is raising His Church in a new level of faith. This generation is born to accomplish greater works than any other generation. We are called to greater works than all generations and Christians that have been in history. We will see a demonstration of the apostolic with a greater level of authority and glory, than has ever been in the history of humankind.

We will see transformation, that will not only touch our land, but also the Universe will be changed.

The church started with apostles and will finish with apostles. The apostolic anointing is a beginning and a finishing anointing. Reformation paves the way of the Church for centuries ahead. The Church must understand, that something new must be accomplished, something new must happen in it. Saints must allow apostles and prophets to equip them for the work of the ministry. It’s time for us to stand up, because light is coming to our life.

Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.
                                                                                                               (John 14:12)

The One that believes – that’s the key. There’s a dream, that we see the saints, functioning in God’s priorities.

Apostolic Reformed Church-ARC

Apostle Ivo Koychev thanked the Lord for the new denomination - Apostolic Reformed Church, which was born this year in Bulgaria and for our uniting apostle George Bakalov! He declared that this is an apostolic and prophetic work, because God wants to demonstrate something new, real and true, that is born by Him throughout the face of the Earth! The thing that God is doing in the different nations is to pour out apostolic models. I believe that there should not be just one model, but many. When we look at God’s diversity, we see that God is very creative. He is unique in His creative expression through our differences.

We thank God for His differences through the different Churches and ministries. The thing that connects us in spite of our differences is God’s mandate, God’s purpose, and God’s intention. The Church is not God’s priority. The Kingdom is God’s priority. If the Church does not get involved in the purpose, intention and priority dimensions of the Kingdom, it will become routine. But Praise God for the apostles and prophets that have authority and mandate to the Body of Christ to be equipped for the work of the ministry. There’s coming the end of the Babylonian slavery in our generation. There’s coming the end of Babylon in every ministry and every Church that submits to the apostolic reformer’s voice. Jeremiah 29:10-11 – receive this work as a prophetic word for your life and your calling for your ministry and church. This word is personal and it gives us vision, future and light, that God is a loving God. God is a reformer’s God. A God of new hope, a new beginning. There’s coming a new generation with an apostolic voice that will declare the dimension of the kingdom in the face of the Earth.

For thus saith the LORD, that after seventy years be accomplished at Babylon I will visit you, and perform my good word toward you, in causing you to return to this place.
For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.
                                                                                                                     Jeremiah 29:10-11

The time is coming for us to come out of our hopeless situations, to raise us up with an apostolic faith and say No to slavery and Yes to God’s hope in our life. The reformation is coming to give us new hope. The reformation is coming to give us light and to put us in the ways, purposes and intensions of the Lord for our generation.

Our generation is the first Alpha generation of the Apostolic Reformation. One of the things which I believe this generation must hit is its self-centeredness. God is no respecter of crowds, but of hearts that are open for His purposes and intentions. The apostles and prophets in this nation are raising themselves up with a new faith, so they can give future and hope to this generation.

Through this new generation – Apostolic Reformed Church – we want to demonstrate the covenant relationship. But there is a danger that can destroy this relationship. I believe that part of this danger is hiding in the self-centeredness and love of self, through the building of individual Church empires, which localize believers only to the church level. But today, I am here to tell you: Hit your Church self-centeredness! Come out of Your Church boundaries and territories and see that harvest is already white. Look up with faith and see that the Lord wants to do something new!

The Lord will do something in this generation and I believe that this generation is Alpha generation, pioneering generation that will raise itself up with a unique father’s grace to invest in the other generations. I believe my whole heart, that we are the first apostolic generation, the Alpha generation of God’s Omega dispensation. Omega dispensation means the last dispensation.

The purpose of the Apostolic Reformation is to see the ministry of the saints, not the ministry of one man. The Apostolic Ministry is not a ministry of the title, but a ministry of the Kingdom. You can not localize the apostolic ministry to the Church level. Then, this ministry dies. When we declare and establish the Reformation, we see the ministry of deliverance so mightily released upon the life of the saints.

Our Church has the credentials to be the ruler in this city. Our ministry has the credentials to be the mighty man in the city. We have the legal grace that restores the gates. We have authority to restore the gates. We have the prophetic message and the apostolic vision. We know how to do it.

Do you not agree, that one ministry is not enough? Nehemiah had to go with a group of people to see the walls of the city. Apostolic Reformed Church has the credentials only for this nation, but also for the Balkans. It has credentials for Europe and the whole world. If you are under apostolic authority and move under an apostolic authority, you have world credentials. God is raising up apostles and prophets, so they can raise the gates and build the walls of the city, so the city can be ruled by the righteous and by God’s Kingdom.

I believe, that the Apostolic Reformed Church will be a voice of unity and will be a model in this nation, Europe and continentally. We are building one common House of David and it starts from the motives, from our hearts. We want to see the Kingdom established. But there’s an opposition – Sanballat and Tobiah (Nehemiah 2:10) Sanballat means: hidden envy, while Tobiah means: humanism. These are from the main enemies. These are spiritual dimensions that will attack the apostolic ministries today. God is raising apostles and prophets to be above the opposition. When the church connects with these apostles and prophets, it will be above this opposition. Apostle Jonas spoke about connecting with the grace of the five-fold ministry and that is so pioneering and apostolic. To connect with the authority that God releases in our life and minister to God’s priorities.

A key aspect for expanding the boundaries of God’s Kingdom in every city, village and quarter and nation is the intercession ministry. It’s very important to see the intercession ministry restored in God’s initial purpose. I believe that in this nation the intercession ministry is born. Apostles want to see the intercession ministry born in this nation; to see intercessors-pioneers, that are connecting with apostles and prophets and that are praying with the priority prayer: “Our Father”. In the time of the Apostolic Reformation we will see a new revealing of this prayer in our spirit and in our prayers, because this prayer sets the priorities of the Kingdom in our life. To follow the flow of God’s will, the priorities of the Kingdom must be installed in our life. If you want to be above the opposition and resistance, you will have to connect with apostles and prophets that will connect you to the priorities of God’s kingdom. You must connect with the voice of the apostles and prophets and with everything they declare.

Christianity does not give us an ethnic belonging, but a Divine one.

Saints must be delivered from the worldly system and Babylon. When the church starts to rule in the Spirit, then the rulers in the natural will also be delivered. We believe that the government of this world is of God. But do not put your hopes in the worldly government, but in God’s government in our life. Our hope is in Jesus, King of Kings and Lord of Lords.

In the Apostolic Reformation we will see a revolution. The social, economic and military sphere will be changed. Every area will be changed, because there will be grace from the Lord for restoration. Bulgaria will be a centre of revival for Europe.

Everything that the Lord will do, will start from our hearts. The Glory will fall upon those things, that the Lord has created. We must take a general decision in our lives, to follow the flow of God’s Reformation and we ourselves to be the dynamics of this Reformation.

To be a reformer is not just to do something new, but this is your identity. We have a reformer’s gene, reformer’s identity on the inside of us. God wants to raise something new, to do something new, and to declare something new. But does this new thing get born in us? Something new, that has not been seen. When we speak of new beginnings, we must raise ourselves with a new level of faith, because the ones that believe in the Lord are the ones that are pleasing to him.

In the different generations, there have been different restorations, which God’s Spirit has done. We are not yet in the Charismatic move. We are moving in a new time, in the time of the restoration of the apostles and prophets, who will be working with the evangelists, pastors and teachers, so they can equip the body of Christ and so they can do a change for Jesus.

It seems that God always takes the despised and rejected, so He can do a change.

We must focus on our change, because the spirit of religion comes to stop us. In the foundation of the religious spirit is to bring lukewarm ness in the church, because when lukewarm ness comes, there also comes a spitting out of God’s mouth. The Lord is praying for us, for this Reformation to be successful. But there is a danger to let religion take us back, or localize us in Haran. Haran means frustration. We must accept the priorities of the Kingdom and go beyond our Church barriers and boundaries.

Abraham heard the voice of the Lord, but allowed Terah to lead him. Terah means delay, going back. Terah is a symbol of the religious spirit. What is the thing that can slow us down in the processes of the Reformation of our following God’s purposes and intentions in this generation? Do we understand the essence of our calling and of God’s promises in our life? Terah is our church religious thinking, which comes even through our ethnic identity.

Gypsies are not called to be a second class society. The Gypsy Christian Churches are not called to be a second class Christianity. I believe that Gypsies must be the heart of God’s blessing for this nation. Apostles will say No to racism, because God’s Spirit is coming upon every flesh and we will see the creative demonstration not only through Bulgarians, but through Gypsies as well.

I believe with my whole heart, that the Gypsy Churches in this nation will do their transition and that the Lord will release grace in every Gypsy leader to decide in the heart of his identity as a leader, to change his models of ministry.

Many wonderful Gypsy Christians can not come out of their ethnic mentality. When God delivers us, He is delivering us from our identical connection with our culture, so He can make us free to follow His purposes and intentions. This can be applied to Bulgarians too, so they can release themselves from their ethnical syndromes of influence. This can be applied to all nations of the world, because we can not follow the Lord with an ethnical way of thinking.

Abraham allowed Terah, who is a symbol of the ethnic mentality of the religious spirit, to stop him in Haran. Haran is not the destiny of the church in Bulgaria. The Church in Bulgaria must accept God’s destiny, to be led into God’s inheritance, but it must have another kind of mentality in order that this can happen. Something must be changed and reformed. Christianity does not give us an ethnic, but a Divine identity.

What divides us and hinders us from making the connection and having the unity between us, so gypsies can help Bulgarians and Bulgarians can help Gypsies?

This conference is for the purpose of building bridges between the different ethnicities. If we have to, we will even go back a little bit, so we can help our fathers and take them out of religion. But are we ready to pay the price and change the things in our life?

It will not be easy for this generation. We will have to face the responsibilities and obligations that we must accept, and with many things that will confront our self-centeredness, but we must hear God’s destiny in our life.

Confusion comes because we do not hear and do not understand the voice of the Lord, and because we do not want to hear and understand it. Many of the things of God, that we do not understand are because religion if active in our life. Apostles bring revelation and grace from a higher dimension. They are eyewitnesses of God’s truth, revelation and glory. There is a price that apostles are paying in order to have this.

I am ready about everything that the Lord will do in Stara Zagora and in Bulgaria. Bulgaria is placed in a very strategic place in the world’s map. We are standing at the gate of Europe, and before us is the spirit of Islam, which is an aggressive and warlike spirit, and if the Church does not become warlike as well, aggressive, apostolic and reformed, the spirit of Islam will sweep over us. Our help will not come from Islam’s money, but from apostles and prophets. Apostles are born to reform the church. The new things will require change from us.
