Chief Apostle Maurice Boykins Sr. and Prophetess Anita Boykins are natives of Richmond, Virginia. They are blessed to have three beautiful children, Shanay, Maurice Jr. and Devonte. Through trials and tribulations God has shown himself to be faithful in their lives. In 2003, God baptized them in the Holy Spirit and endowed them with the Apostolic anointing working in the gifts of prophecy and healing. The Lord revealed to them to build the ministry upon John 14:12 ?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?. They moved by faith until the Lord elevated them into a higher calling where they have seen many people saved, healed from infirmities and delivered from their strongholds through the Holy Spirit working in their ministry.
As God matured them in the faith, He revealed to them that there were territorial demons assigned to the West coast region in which he has endowed them with the anointing to break the strongholds of demonic activity off of peoples lives threw Jesus Christ. They obeyed the voice of God and relocated to Southern California to set the captives free in the land he has appointed them. Since relocating by faith to California, God has blessed them to see great signs and wonders and to become overseers of Tabernacle of Faith Healing & Deliverance Ministry in Kenya Africa and Rivers of Waters Int'l Deliverance Ministry near Dallas, Texas. There has been great growth in the years since being in California and currently have established ministry in San Frenando Valley, California. It has been a wonderful and exciting journey thus far, and to God be the Glory, they are here now prepared by the Lord for every good work.

Vs.12 For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:
Vs.13 Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature oEPHESIANS f the fullness of Christ.
1 CORINTHIANS 12:28 And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues.

Has the church come into unity yet?
Is the church perfected yet?
Is the church presenting the fullness of Christ?
Does the church still need edifying?
* Anyone that is familiar with the church must realize that these gifts and callings are still needed today.
Each office of the five fold ministry; Apostle, Prophet, Evangelist, Pastor, and Teacher, carries its own distinct anointing and has its own individual work. For these offices to work together, and accomplish the building up of the body of Christ; they must recognize their differences and be yielded and submitted to one another. Each of these offices are directly responsible to the Lord Jesus Christ and are directed by the Holy Spirit, to the work of service.
Directed by the Holy Ghost
ACTS 8:5 Then Philip went down to the city of Samaria, and preached Christ unto them.
ACTS 8:26-40 And the angel of the Lord spake unto Philip, saying, Arise, and go toward the south unto the way that goeth down from Jerusalem unto Gaza, which is desert.
Vs.29 Then the Spirit said unto Philip, Go near, and join thyself to this chariot.
ACTS 10:19-20 While Peter thought on the vision, the Spirit said unto him, Behold, three men seek thee.
Vs.20 Arise therefore, and get thee down, and go with them, doubting nothing: for I have sent them.
ACTS 16:6-10 Vs.6 Now when they had gone throughout Phrygia and the region of Galatia, and were forbidden of the Holy Ghost to preach the word in Asia.
Each Must Recognize its Limitations
ACTS 8:14-17 Now when the apostles which were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent unto them Peter and John:
Vs.15 Who, when they were come down, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Ghost:
Vs.16 ( For as yet he was fallen upon none of them: only they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.)
Vs.17 Then laid they their hands on them, and they received the Holy Ghost.
Question: Why didn?t Philip pray and lay his hands on them, that they might get the Holy Ghost?
1 CORINTHIANS 12:29-30 Are all apostles? are all prophets? are all teachers? are all workers of miracles?
Vs.30 Have all the gifts of healing? do all speak with tongues? do all interpret?
* No one person has it all, gifts, callings, we must recognize our own Spiritual Gifts and Yield to others as well.
