By Deborah Bell (Lead Apostle DGAN Global Network and DGFC churches) The Bible says that the Spirit of God departed from Saul when a spirit of jealousy entered him! Today the Spirit of God will not depart from a believer when jealousy enters, but that spirit will blind us and cause us to stumble. “Now the Spirit of the LORD had departed from Saul, and an evil spirit from the LORD tormented him.” – 1 Samuel‬ We need to be careful that a spirit of jealousy does not take hold of

By Deborah Bell (Lead Apostle DGAN Global Network and DGFC churches) There are those that spend their time talking about what others should be doing, and then there are those that actually “build the road”. – The mandate of the great commission in Matt 28:19 was not be observers but to make disciples of all nations, baptising people in the Holy Spirit & teaching those that will hear, the Word of God. Our job as Christians is to help people discover Christ on their journey of

By Deborah Bell (Lead Apostle DGAN Global Network and DGFC churches) (Originally posted 9 April, 2015) When we talk about the Fivefold Offices there seems to be a flurry of comments, always! Few amens, though! We should be at the “more amens” stage than the apparent resistance to what God has ordered in the body of Christ, set in the Word. There is a divine order given in Ephesians 2:20 & 4:11 and in 1 Cor 12:28 specifically. (We all know the Scriptures), we all love and HONO

By Deborah Bell (Lead Apostle DGAN Global Network and DGFC churches) Just look at this heading! Are we talking about the Church here? Yes! Why? Because we are an imperfect people all needing healing restoration and love to move into the fullness of what God has for our lives. I have seen so much strife caused because people don’t communicate. It’s healthy & important to talk to one another. I’m not talking about “small talk” that’s easy enough for most, to the extent that tha

By Deborah Bell (Lead Apostle DGAN Global Network and DGFC churches) (Originally posted 15 May, 2017) The problem with denial is that it causes such blindness and closes doors of truth. It’s a stronghold and unless we are willing to break its power it will cause a lukewarm heart and ultimately, we can end up ignoring every teaching in front of us on this topic. This can cause us to slowly drift away from God’s purpose for our life, and our fervour and fire goes out. Why? Beca

By Deborah Bell (Lead Apostle DGAN Global Network and DGFC churches) Ephesians 4:29-31 (NIV) 29  Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen. 30  And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, with whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.  31  Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice. In Ephesians

By Deborah Bell (Lead Apostle DGAN Global Network and DGFC churches) This is not the full teaching I do on Rejection, but here are some ‘starters’ for you to chew on! This teaching is full of gems if you will activate the healing from rejection in your life. I’ve have spent many years in our ministry helping people deal with rejection in their lives. It’s a big part of our ministry, people need emotional healing just as much, sometimes more, than physical healing. I want to b

By Deborah Bell (Lead Apostle DGAN Global Network and DGFC churches) Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen. (Ephesians 4:29 NIV) As believers and Fivefold we must talk wholesomely. When we gossip, we are letting unwholesome talk come out of our mouths. It is a very cowardly & very damaging thing because the person being spoken about is not there to

By Deborah Bell (Lead Apostle DGAN Global Network and DGFC churches) (Originally posted 18 December, 2014) DON’T LET ANYTHING KEEP YOU FROM YOUR SPIRITUAL HOME! Remember those confessions you made about your spiritual home, your church? Remember the covenant you made with Christ and therefore also with the House of the LORD? Don’t let anything stand in your way of belonging to a healthy body of Christ…not even your “stuff”! STAGES OF FALLING AWAY IN THE BODY OF CHRIST People

By Deborah Bell (Lead Apostle DGAN Global Network and DGFC churches) A person (a great man of God) did a post earlier which reminded me of something I’ve been meaning to say since seeing some things on Facebook and elsewhere recently. We dishonour God, the House of God, and the people of God, when we try to ‘fit’ into an Office to which we are not called, and even worse when we are not called to one of the Fivefold Offices to start with. We are ALL called to something, we mus

By Deborah Bell (Lead Apostle DGAN Global Network and DGFC churches) (Originally posted 20 January, 2015) How do we deal with conflict in the body of Christ, the Church? What does the Word of God say about it?  If we know, how many leaders or peers actually use the word for conflict Resolution? Conflict resolution was established in the word of God, for the people of God, long before any department of Human Resources was in place. When we stray from the word, we stray from th

Don’t hide your light put it on a stand so that everyone can see it. Luke 8:16. How lovely is your dwelling place, O LORD Almighty! My soul yearns, even faints, for the courts of the LORD; my heart and my flesh cry out for the living God. ... Better is one day in your courts than a thousand elsewhere; I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God than dwell in the tents of the wicked. - Psalm 84. I, (and the collective 'we'), have been through a lot this past year, an

By Deborah Bell (Lead Apostle DGAN Global Network and DGFC churches) (Originally posted 13 October, 2018) If you are called into one of the Fivefold Offices in the Church or into a ministry, be sure to understand what that calling involves. If you are called, it’s important to know that everything you do for the LORD and those in the Kingdom, is worth it. There are difficult times that will give you more than just grey hairs. People are unique and complicated and nothing prep
