Shoots We Grow: Part 5 - Beginning to Minister in the Anointing

Realize you are called to be a minister, not just a receiver

Who you are is and always will be more important than what you do!

Who you are determines what you do

Receive the anointing

Carry the anointing

Distribute the anointing

For believers, we must tend towards personal Holiness!

Righteousness≠Holiness

Righteousness is the position we freely-received through salvation because of Jesus’ Great Exchange with us at Calvary

Holiness is our lifestyle

We often don’t feel a pressing need for personal holiness when we don’t feel a personal need for supernatural ministry

When we are just receiving & aren’t giving out, we aren’t so concerned about giving people our dirty stuff.

To allow the Holy Spirit to minister to us is very easy & is like a well for personal hydration - but for the Holy Spirit to minister through us requires something more of us & turns a well into a river that can touch nations

Someone is relying on YOU as the conduit of God’s touch in their life.

YOU have access to people I will possibly never have access to or meet.

Genesis 22:6 AMP6 Then Abraham took the wood for the burnt offering and laid it on [the shoulders of ] Isaac his son, and he took the fire (the firepot) in his own hand, and a knife; and the two of them went on together.

Mark 16:17–18 NKJV17 And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues; 18 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.”
