Episode Overview

In this passionate and revelatory episode, Pastor Touré Roberts addresses the congregation at a special revival service, digging deep into the spiritual and structural DNA—the "bones"—of ONE, A Potter's House Church. Drawing on scriptural teaching, personal experience, and prophetic insight, Touré unpacks the true nature of revival, the role of the fivefold ministry, and the unique calling and inheritance assigned to ONE. The message is an invitation to reconnect with the ancient foundations of faith and to embrace the blessings, responsibilities, and transformational power embedded in the “bones” of the movement.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Paul’s Apostolic Model & Spiritual Covering

• Scriptural Basis: Romans 1, Ephesians 4
• The Apostle Paul's Example:
  • Paul deeply cared for the churches he planted, always seeking to impart gifts that would establish them (00:56).
  • Even when absent, he remained present through prayer (03:20):

    "Even if you're not with your child physically, you connect with them in prayer every day. I visit this church in prayer every single day."—Touré

• Spiritual Covering:
  • ONE is consistently prayed over and covered at multiple levels—by leaders and by Christ Himself (04:00).

2. Fivefold Ministry & Optimization of the Church

• Scriptural Basis: Ephesians 4
• Fivefold Structure:
  • Apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers all bring different graces to the church (06:15).
  • The term "equipping" (Ephesians 4:12) has a medical sense; it’s like "resetting bones" so the body can function (07:29):

    "If the bones are not set properly, the body doesn’t function properly."—Touré (07:47)

• Challenges:
  • Many churches struggle to model the fivefold ministry due to tradition, lack of teaching, or ego (09:11).
  • True revival and acceleration come when all these gifts function together.

3. What Is Revival?

• Misconceptions Addressed:
  • Revival is not God doing something new, but rather a realignment with the divine and ancient design (13:40).
  • "Newness" is often just a return to what has become unfamiliar through mediocrity and drift (15:50):

    "The reason why it feels new is because less has become our norm."—Touré (15:52)

• Mediocrity Defined:
  • “Mediocrity” literally means being stuck in the middle—halfway up your God-given mountain (16:18).

4. The Power & Importance of the Bones

• Scriptural Examples: 2 Kings 13 (Elisha's Bones), Isaiah 37, Passover
• Bones as Foundation:
  • The essence and DNA of a movement (or a person) are found in the “bones,” not the “flesh” (lights, stage, visible aspects) (19:41).
  • Elijah (and Elisha) stories illustrate revival and resurrection power in the bones:

    "When the man was let down and touched the... bones of Elisha, he revived and stood on his feet... the bones, because the DNA, the power... was in the bones."—Touré (24:05)

• Jesus’ Bones:
  • Not a single bone of Jesus was broken, emphasizing the significance of spiritual structure and unbroken foundation (26:30).

5. ONE’s Identity: The Acts 2 Model

• Diversity and Calling:
  • The story of Pentecost (Acts 2:1–13) is used as a blueprint: people from every nation, background, and walk of life coming together, united by one sound, despite diversity (34:44).
  • ONE is described as a church "for people who don’t go to church," with a unique ability to reach and speak to many cultures and backgrounds (40:50):

    "There’s a unique grace... to have language that reaches everybody of every tribe, of every tongue, of every nation."—Touré (36:42)

• Love as Foundational DNA:
  • Genuine, agape love is persistent throughout the church’s culture, with a focus on inclusion, healing, and transformation (45:20).
  • Paul’s teaching in Ephesians 3 is highlighted:

    "To be filled with all the fullness of God... you’ll have to perceive just how deep his love is."—Touré (48:36)

6. Inheritance: Spiritual and Movement-Specific

• Eyes of Understanding:
  • Emphasis on Paul’s prayer in Ephesians 1—that believers’ spiritual eyes be opened to recognize their hope, inheritance, and authority (52:30).
  • "You can be saved, but the eyes of your understanding about what you got when you got saved still be darkened."—Touré (53:12)
• Kingdom Inheritance:
  • Power, sonship (position, not gender), authority, favor, healing, and purpose (66:10–69:54).
  • Creation is waiting not for Christians, but for the revealing (“manifestation”) of true sons and daughters (Romans 8:19)—those who operate in their God-given identity and authority (60:05).
• Movement-Specific Inheritance ("Bones" of ONE):
  • Favor: Miraculous, industry-level elevations (Oscars, Tony Awards), but also everyday favor for those genuinely connected to the house (80:04).
  • Righteousness: Tangible grace to pursue personal integrity and holiness (81:39).
  • Success: Consistent pattern of breakthrough for members who honor the foundation (bones) of the house (83:30).
  • Healing, wholeness, balance, purpose, and prosperity are also identified as inheritances within the movement (87:08).
  • Transience and Deployment: ONE is an apostolic house—it trains, activates, and sends members out to build, not to remain indefinitely (83:49).

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• On Fivefold Ministry:

  "A movement maximized is a movement that has... the apostolic, the prophetic, the evangelistic, the pastoral and the teachers—all of that. And when that comes together beautifully... the bones get reset." (08:02)

• On the Power of Bones:

  "The man is gone. The voice is no longer there, but the bones… the bones carry resurrection power in them." (24:19)

• On True Revival:

  "Revival isn’t God doing something new... It’s a realignment with divine design." (13:53)

• On Love as Foundation:

  "It's not like this loopy, hippie, we're passing out joints kind of love. It's real, genuine agape love... people feel it and it delivers them and it heals them." (47:19)

• On Inheritance and Destiny:

  "There’s a word for see in scripture... it means to experience. The reason he’s saying, I need for your eyes to be enlightened is because you have two eyes. You’ve got your natural eyes and you’ve got your spiritual eyes." (55:02)

• On Prosperity and Purpose:

  "Prosperity... when you tap into calling and realize the size of your calling, there is a resource number connected to that... Many of you are young enough to potentially need trillions." (90:28)

  "I didn't build this church around me. I built it on me, but not around me. I used to tell... I'm trying to work myself out of a job." (29:07)
