Apostolic Pioneer C. Peter Wagner Goes on to Glory

C. Peter Wagner, a pioneer in the apostolic ministry, has gone home to be with the Lord. He was 86 years old, passing away at 2:30 p.m. Friday.

Wagner suffered from congestive heart failure in part of his heart. In June, he underwent two surgeries. The first was to drain his abdominal cavity of excess fluid. This second surgery is to repair the lungs and pour talcum powder into the lungs, which repairs the leaky lungs.

Wagner's friend, apostle Chuck Pierce, confirmed Wagner's death on his Facebook page Friday, calling Wagner "one of the greatest molders of modern church history."

Wagner is recognized as a leading authority in the fields of church growth and spiritual warfare. He is co-founder of World Prayer Center and is chancellor of the Wagner Institute in Colorado Springs, Colorado. Wagner holds graduate degrees in theology, missiology and religion from Fuller Theological Seminary, Princeton Theological Seminary and the University of Southern California.

Wagner served as a field missionary in Bolivia for 16 years and he taught on the faculty of the School of Intercultural Studies at Fuller Seminary for 30 years. Wagner ministers extensively nationally and internationally from his home base in Colorado. He has written 70 books, including Prayer Shield, Territorial Spirits, and Apostles and Prophets.

Wagner is survived by his wife, Doris.

The former apostolic leader was admitted to the hospital on Sept. 23 for what his wife, Doris, termed as a ''weakened condition."

having read some of his books Wagner places a emphasis on a church based on apostolic authority without denoms functioning as the 1st century church functioned. Some of his theories are slightly off center in that he believes in a apostolic counsel which rules over the emerging church coming out of the existing church based on denoms. While I agree with him that the apostle and prophet will have influence in the emerging church the idea of the apostle having complete control over the church and its function is wrong. ...

As if we don't have the Bible, something the 13 apostles did not have. Sounds old school ultra-Charismatic to me, with more grand poobahs with enormous Spirit-given authority. Nothing new. Rick Joyner sounds like something like that too. The body of Christ doesn't have 100 heads that are all in touch with the prophet Elijah returned and a frail body, it has one head and many limbs.

Those in touch with the prophet Elijah returned in the flesh, according to some. Beware of that disease, it may currently be spreading and without much manifestation yet.
