Apostle Edward Stewart, Jr. has not received any gifts yet
Jesus is involved in the restoration of His Church. Each of us is being compelled to look beyond our personal and local ministry goals and catch a glimpse of Christ’s vision for His whole Church throughout the nations of the world. Our desire is to help establish apostles and prophets as foundational ministries in the Church, and train, activate and facilitate the full restoration of all areas of fivefold ministry. In Ephesians 4:8 and 11, we read that Jesus gave fivefold ministers as gifts to the Church, "And He gave some as apostles, and some as prophets, and some as evangelists, and some as pastors and teachers."
These ministry gifts are dear to the heart of God. They are key to His plan. The apostles and prophets are paramount to building the foundation of the Church: "You are being built upon the foundation of apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ Himself being the Chief Cornerstone" (Eph.2:20). In talking about these ministry gifts, Paul goes on in verse 12 and 13 to write that the purpose of these gifts is "for the equipping of the saints for the work of service, to the building up of the Body of Christ; until we all attain to the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a mature man, to the measure of the stature which belongs to the fullness of Christ."
As a saint and part of His Church, our desire is to equip you in greater measure, to see you rise above natural limitations and demonstrate His power and authority throughout the earth.

When I agreed to give up my divinity and be born in the flesh, I did so very willingly. I looked forward to the time when we, you and us, could all be together and share in everything that is. I looked forward to loving you, hugging you, comforting you and encouraging you so that, when your life gets tough, you will feel secure and supported enough to face whatever you have to face. I looked forward to being the one you could rely upon unconditionally for that strength, comfort and encouragement whenever and however you need it.
Not only that, I looked forward to sharing with you that we created you to love you, and that we so hoped and desired that you would love us back. We want you in our life, and we love it when you want us in yours. It was so exciting when I could turn to my disciples and expand our relationship to include friendship and true fellowship. I offer that friendship and fellowship to you today as well, and I look forward to your inviting me into your life in that way.
You can see there are many reasons why I came in the flesh so many years ago. There’s more! I also wanted to set you free from thoughts and behaviors that hurt you emotionally and spiritually. If you were hurt by people or experienced hard times in your life and lost things like your health, relationships, or your way of life because of disaster or unemployment, I wanted to give you the tips and tools as well as the encouragement to recover emotionally and spiritually from who or what hurt you so you could have the kind of life I want you to enjoy.
Most of you understand why I sacrificed my life for you and what an act of love that was. It is my hope that this letter will help you understand how very much more my life and ministry were to accomplish. I look forward to expanding our relationship now and forever.
Joyfully, Jesus
