Prepared To Minister

The LORD has spoken to me over the last couple of months about one of the reasons that the Church does not have as dynamic and miraculous meetings as we hope, many times we are just graced by Holy Spirit because of the couple or the few who come prepared to minister. Those few who have prayed and fasted and sought the gifts of Holy Spirit; those who study the Bible, are listening to Holy Spirit and seeking to do the will of the Father are the ones who are used to release Holy Spirit to minister love, healing and deliverance to those who are in need.

Every believer should come prayed up and ready to minister at every meeting we attend. Every believer is filled with The Holy Spirit the moment we are born again. Many believers get “baptized in The Holy Spirit” and speak in tongues. But, every believer is filled by Holy Spirit and all of His gifts are available to every believer to be used as He leads.* Because, every believer is the Temple of GOD, in the earth, where His Spirit lives. “Do you not know that you are the Temple of GOD and that the Spirit of GOD dwells in you? If anyone defiles the Temple of GOD, GOD will destroy him. For the Temple of GOD is holy, which Temple you are.” “And what agreement has the Temple of GOD with idols? For you are the Temple of the Living GOD. As GOD has said: ‘I will dwell in them and walk among them. I will be their GOD. And they shall be My people.’” 1 Corinthians 3:16-17, 2 Corinthians 6:16 (Ezekiel 37:26-27) NKJV

Jesus gave His Church a commission, we call it the Great Commission,^# but many Christians do not practice it in their life, many leave it to others, some ease their conscience by giving money to the Church to support the work of the ministry but most Christians do not do what GOD called them to do. GOD called and gifted every person ever born to do the work of His Kingdom in the earth as it is in Heaven. Those of us who are born again have no excuse for not seeking GOD’s will and purpose for our life. He has given us His Divinely Inspired Word and His Holy Spirit there is no reason that we cannot learn and obey!+

*“There are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. There are differences of ministries, but the same LORD. And there are diversities of activities, but it is the same GOD who works all in all. But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to each one for the profit of all: for to one is given the word of wisdom through the Spirit, to another the word of knowledge through the same Spirit, to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healings by the same Spirit, to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another discerning of Spirits, to another different kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues. But one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each one individually as He wills.” 1 Corinthians 12:4-11 NKJV

#“So Jesus said to them again, ‘Peace to you! As The Father has sent Me, I also send you.’ And when He had said this, He breathed on them, and said to them, ‘Receive The Holy Spirit. If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven them; if you retain the sins of any, they are retained.’” “Therefore when they had come together, they asked Him, saying, ‘LORD, will You at this time restore the Kingdom to Israel?’ And he said to them, ‘It is not for you to know the times or seasons which The Father has put in His own authority. But you shall receive power when The Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.’” “Then He said to them, ‘These are the words which I spoke to you while I was still with you, that all things must be fulfilled which were written in the Law of Moses and the Prophets and the Psalms concerning Me.’ And He opened their understanding, that they might comprehend the Scriptures. Then He said to them, ‘Thus it is written, and thus it was necessary for the Christ to suffer and to rise from the dead the third day, and that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in His name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. And you are witnesses of these things. Behold, I send the Promise of My Father upon you; but tarry in the city of Jerusalem until you are endued with power from on high.’” “And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, ‘All authority has been given to Me in Heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of The Father and of The Son and of The Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo I am with you always, even to the end of the age.’” “And He said to them, ‘Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. He who believes and is baptized will be saved, but he who does not believe will be condemned. And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues; they will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.’” Amen! John 20:21-23; Luke 24:44-49; Matthew 28:18-20; Mark 16:15-18 NKJV

+“See then that you walk circumspectly, not as fools but as wise, redeeming the time, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be unwise, but understand what the will of the LORD is. And do not be drunk with wine, in which is dissipation; but be filled with the Spirit, speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the LORD, giving thanks always for all things to GOD the Father in the name of our LORD Jesus Christ, submitting to one another in the fear of GOD.” Ephesians 5:15-21 NKJV

“Study to shew thyself approved unto GOD, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly divining the Word of Truth.” 2 Timothy 2:15 KJV

“All Scripture is given by inspiration of GOD, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of GOD may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.” 2 Timothy 3:16-17 NKJV
