Thought process behind ministering.
Each one of us are taking turns sending a text before the ministry each week saying what we believe the lord is showing us. This is currently a tool to make sure we are being faithful to prepare each week. In 2 Timothy 2:15, it states to study to show yourself approved. Basically, stay connected to Jesus as much as possible,then when u get to minister you have a lot he can draw from.
When ministering to people, there is so much we must pay attention to. We can seek God for how the environment is. Because it affects the word. If we are spending our time trying to hear a message while ministering we now don't have time to judge it and listen to God on how to say it. Like good soldiers we need to give ourselves to the prep time. Learning, practicing, going over the fundamentals. So when it comes time for the fight we can respond appropriately to the counter attack.
A fight? Yes. We fight against mentalities from family, life issues that have hurt people, unbelief, so much goes on. It's good to clear out minds and just live and move and have our being in Him. After we prepare as much as we can. All the prep isn't to fill our heads with info. It's an opportunity to get close to Him. And let Him work it in us. Then when it's time to do ministry, we can prepare those listening to be in the best place to receive the ministry.
