HEALTHY SPIRITUAL GROWTH!
It's a good sign of spiritual advancement and maturity when we strive MORE to reach out to people than cry or press to be reached!
The disciples of Jesus Christ NEVER pressed on Him to heal, deliver, bless or even pray for them. Not once! But this was what they pursued, LORD, TEACH US TO PRAY..., IF THAT'S REALLY YOU, ASK ME TO COME TO YOU WALKING ON THE WATER....., WHY COULDN'T WE CAST OUT THAT DEVIL?
These incredible disciples wanted to be USED BY GOD! I love that!
Now, Jesus taught His disciples to LEARN from Him and DEPEND on the power of the Holy Spirit to make them ABLE ministers of HIS gospel. Acts 1:4-8. Jesus never asked them to KEEP coming to be prayed for, delivered or REMAIN at the receiving end of His incredible ministry indefinitely.
Learn from your Pastor in order TO minister to people. Grow up spiritually and stop running around looking for your Pastor or people to pray for you unless you're still a babe in Christ. Go and start praying for the sick and afflicted, casting out devils, supporting the weak.
Its good to have friends or others pray for/with us. But lasting, wholesome success in our Christian life and especially in ministry, is a function and product of private, personal and intensive, REGULAR intercessions. The lessons we learn in such personal struggles to fit into the total image of Christ are priceless lessons and benefits.
We become greatly blessed, tough and highly productive in life and ministry through the change we experience during persistent praying and FORCEFUL faith discipline and activities.
After Jesus Christ was anointed, He went ABOUT (went into action) doing GOOD and healing all that were oppressed by the Devil, for God's favor and approval went with Him. Hallelujah! Acts 10:38.
Stop waiting and looking for SOLUTIONS, you're the SOLUTION God has anointed, get up and go out to those with problems, God's entire presence will go with you. Hallelujah!
Read Exodus 33:14; Psalm 1:1-3; Jeremiah 29:11-14; Isaiah 62:6,7.
