An “earthly shepherd” guiding on issues of morality and fairness, ecclesiastical endorsements and letters of good conduct whenever necessary, and in the case of “ministerial covering,” to provide the necessary guidance to carry out as successful a ministry as possible. The church has its autonomy outside of the Spiritual Covering and is independent, the church works in conjunction with the Spiritual Covering to accomplish its mission.
A spiritual covering is a spiritual force field that (covers) seeks God on behalf of the church/pastor to bring in good things (blessings) and pray for safety and security (covers for protection). Life and power are provided by those anointed of Christ that flow through apostles and bishops directly or indirectly to pastors and the body of Christ. Spiritual Covering does not take the place of God but is a help to the Pastor and the congregation when needed. They also help with the accountability of the church and its functions.
