God needs You! Pt.1
Discover your ministry and how to release the anointing through the power of the Holy Spirit. In this message Pastor Babish presents part one of “How to minister to others.”
At the beginning of this year th he Lord said “2016 The Year of Grace and Mercy
Ex 33:18-20,
Eph. 1:18-20
And he (Moses) said, “Please, show me Your glory.”Then the Lord said, “I will make all My goodness pass before you, and I will proclaim the name of the Lord before you. I will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy.
My prayer is that understanding will flood your heart and that you will understand the hope that was given to you when God chose you. Then you will discover the glorious blessings that will be yours together with all of God’s people.
I want you to know about the great and mighty power that God has for us followers. It is the same wonderful power he used 20when he raised Christ from death and let him sit at his right side in heaven.
… Lord show us Your Glory
As we have seen in previous messages in this series, due to the deterioration and the stripping away of the moral compass with the purpose to redefine this nation, the Lord is calling the Church to “Rise Up” take our position and release the anointing that we have been given.
The bottom line is “God Needs You!”
The Lord is preparing and equipping us For His Unfolding Plan for Revival
We saw as a Christian you have
- a calling
- a ministry
- a destiny
your calling is connected to your ministry
your ministry is connected to your destiny
Looks like this: calling <-> ministry <-> destiny
We’ve been looking at “Essentials for Your Ministry” in 2016
- The Anointing…
The Anointing enables us to move beyond our abilities so we can step into the power of the Holy Spirit
What is the anointing?
(Simple definition)
“The anointing is- ” The presence and power of God “manifested.”
Manifest is to..
- activate
- express
- reveal
- demonstrate … the Love of God
The next area we want to examine is
“How to RELEASE the Anointing through YOUR MINISTRY” Pt. 1
Ministry
(definition)
The process and action of releasing the anointing; using gifts, talents and callings from God ; to afford others growth, assistance and aid in all areas- spiritually, emotionally and physically.
Many people say “I know that I am to be a witness of Christ on earth.
I know that the anointing of God has been given to me for a purpose.
I know that my destiny is related to my ministry.
I desire to be used by God and to be led by the Holy Spirit
I want to see my ministry for the Lord really help people
I want to be a “Doer of the Word”
but…
What does this mean and how do I do it?
Good Question !
Let’s move from the – to +
Ministry???
So many Christians fall into traps
So caught up in their own problems
“How can I focus on other people I have too many challenges of my own”
Not living in confident faith
“I don’t know if I can believe God to help others”
Just trying to make it through
“I’m just trying to hang in there myself”
Inward looking not outward looking
“I know they’re hurting people but I have needs too”
Not living in the victory God has intended
“I need to be have my problems resolved before I can minister to others
Results -Allowing lifeto dictate ministry’s effectiveness..
Results.. Ministry “Neutralized”
MINISTRY 101
4 Keys to Ministry
ACT, FEEL, SAY, DO
- Act – what would Jesus act like
- Feel – what would Jesus feel inside
- Say – what would Jesus say
- Do- MINISTRY – What would Jesus Do (Heal, set free, restore, offer salvation)
MINISTRY 102
To live my my life where…
Jesus will be seen
Jesus will be heard
Jesus will be followed
And Jesus will be glorified
Let’s look at:
How to Release the Anointing and Minister to Others
- Recognize and acknowledge your position in Christ
V.I.
Who God says you are
You True identity
Rom 8: 17 Now if we are children, then we are heirs — heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ
Rev 5:10 And have made us kings and priests to our God; And we shall reign on the earth.”
Colossians 2:10 and you have been given fullness in Christ, who is the head over every power and authority
Eph 2:6-10 And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus, … 10 For we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.
- Ask for a special anointing for ministry
You uniqueness in Christ qualifies you to move in the supernatural. You’ve been given permission to make the impossible… possible
“Lord, I ask you to help me minister to…”
Matt 7:7 “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you
I can do all things through Christ strengthens me (Phil.4:13)
- Acknowledged by faith the anointing that you’ve been given
After asking, confirm the answer to your request.
“I receive the anointing of the Holy Spirit to effectively minister “
Matt 16:19
I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven
Mark 16:17 And these signs will accompany those who believe: In my name they will drive out demons;
