Understanding “Apostolic” Metrons

An apostle I highly respect and have looked to for insight, Apostle Joseph Prude, wrote a book a while back on apostolic metrons. Because I’ve studied so much of Apostle Prude’s material, I must acknowledge him in any advanced discussion I write about this topic. I was given the honor of writing the foreword for this book because of the “apostolic metron” released to me by the Lord.
In the book, however, he explains that a metron refers to one’s measured part, portion or measure of rule (Prude, 2015, p. 1). One extremely simple example is this: When a person is employed by a company, they only have authority or a measure of rule to do what has been assigned to them. A fry cook, for example, is in charge of the fries not the managing of the restaurant.
The Shelf Life of Prophetic Scribal Books & Projects

Some “prophetic” books and scribal projects have shelf lives or expiration dates just like the milk and cheese in our refrigerators. For many prophetic scribes and writers, this is a hard truth to accept. After all, we would like to believe our messages are as eternal and useful as God’s word.
The truth is, some books are for a specific time and that is it.
Back in the day, I had manuals that came with CDs inside and instructions for installing MS Word on my computer. Then, there came a day when those were obsolete and I had new choices – download from the web or use MS Word in a cloud.
The Economic Impact of Sexual Abuse on the Church

(March 16, 2018)
It’s shameful.
Sexual abuse allegations have cost the Roman Catholic Church in America nearly $4 billion over six decades in litigation and settlements, according to an in-depth investigation by the National Catholic Reporter. In a separate study, the scandals surrounding the allegations have resulted in lost membership and more than $2.3 billion annually in giving for the past 30 years (NCR).
Although the Catholic church is widely seen as the poster child for sexual abuse, the top three, leading faith-based insurance companies report that the Protestant Christian churches they ensure paid out $87.8 million in claims from 1987-2007 (Denney, Kerley, Gross 2). This data, however, is over a decade old but comes from the three leading insurance agencies that specialize in defending lawsuits against churches. Various reports conclude that the actual costs of the sexual abuse-related litigation and settlements are significantly higher for both Catholic and Protestant churches because they do not include litigation fees, monthly insurance premiums or other associated costs.
Your Prophetic Time-Clock
Many of God’s people know what it means when a health professional tells us to “know our bodies” or to “watch what your body is trying to tell you.” The concept is simple: We should be so aware or conscious of our physical bodies that we can recognize even the slightest change when it occurs.
