If we have to look at ministry, it will be best seen through the eyes of those that stood in it, not those that are still in their process.

Paul said we know in part, we prophecy in part but when that which is perfect is come, you will know as you are fully known. Now this is what God told me about ministry which means to serve, how we serve in our part which comes through prophecy will determine how far we go in ministry, and as you play your part well you will be given your next, but remember when one is called to do what God has called them to do, you will have trouble coming your way designed to make you walk away from your God given assignment, how one deals with challenges will also determine whether you going to your next part, for as life comes in stages, so does our walk in ministry work. Some of us will never go to the our next part because we’ve not been faithful in the first part. To God it is how we serve under pressure that will determine our worth, gold has to go through the fire to be purified, so it is with ministry, your test always determine your worth. Job says tho I’m tried as gold in the fire, I will come forth as gold, he came out with more then what he lost.

How you go through what you going through will determine your promotion, your blessing and your stand in life.

In John 15 Jesus speaks to His disciples and said, as I obeyed my Father and remained in His love, so you must obey Me and you will remain in my love, and your joy will be complete. Now when we look at this scripture we will discover that the obedience of Christ to his Father’s word was key to remaining in the love of God.

And the way I understand this is that the Father’s word was the guidance, protection of God, if you love someone you would show them the way, teach and equip them for life and the challenges that would present itself along the way, so the Father educated Jesus, showed him how to do what he did, that was the glory that Jesus stood in, and what was so great about this is that Christ never kept it for Himself, but shared the glory he received from his Father, the same glory I received of the Father, that i give unto you, as I was equipped by the Father, so I will equip, educate you, and if you obey Me you will stay, live in My love, which is the teachings of Christ.

In 1 John 2 its written that whosoever keeps God’s word, in him truly is the love of God perfected. Paul writes in Ephesians 4 and says that we must speak the truth in love, so how does one speak the truth in love, Jesus said if you love Me obey My commandments, we are called to know truth before we speak it, to know means to have a intimate relationship with truth before we speak truth, that means our lifestyle must be truth, we must wear, put on Christ then speak Christ. In conclusion whatever we love we will be into, what are you into, or intimate with.

Genesis 3vs15 And I will put enmity against the serpent and the women, between your seed and her seed, it shall bruise your head and you will bruise his heel. The serpent is Satan and the women is Israel, the seed of Satan is his offspring, who is the children of the flesh, Paul said in my flesh dwells no good thing, remember when Adam sinned man was put out of the garden, they could not partake of the Spirit of life, which is the tree of life, but became partakers of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil instead. That tree was Lucifer as we know as Satan, so here we have man eating from the wrong tree for thousands of years and being shaped into what Satan wanted them to be. Spiritually we ate from devils, and became just like them in person, spirit, mans hearts became dark, sinful and wicked.

Jesus came in the fullness of time to saved a sinner like me, how would He do it, what was His plan against a devil that managed to corrupt man to the bone, John 3vs16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten son, that whosoever believed in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life. Roman’s 8vs3 For what the law could not do in that it was weak, God did by sending His own son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin condemned sin in the flesh.1 John 3vs8 for this purpose was the Son of God manifested that he might destroy the works of the devil. How did He do it, by taking this sinful temple and destroying it and raising it up in three days.

God took both Jew and Gentile and nailed it to the cross, and out of two he made one new man, Jesus Christ, therefore if any man be in Christ he is a new creation, the old has passed away everything has become new. So the cross was designed by God to destroy the body of sin, serpent seed, and through the gospel we are brought into the family of God, the Spirit of adoption, where we who once were not the people of God, now through the gospel became joint heirs with Christ…

So I want to encourage you to believe the gospel, and be saved from a world that is heading to destruction. What is the gospel it is the power of God unto salvation to them that believe.

In Matthew 7 the Lord speaks of what it will take to enter the kingdom, and says not everyone that say unto me Lord, Lord will enter the kingdom, but he that will do the will of my Father in heaven, for many will say have we not prophecy in your name, cast out devils and healed the sick, did we not do great things in your name. Then I will say unto them I never new you, depart from Me you that worked iniquity. To understand the will of the Father and what a worker of iniquity is, we need to look at the wise builder and the foolish builder, the wise builder build his house on the rock, which is the word of Christ, and because his foundation was right he stood the test of time. The foolish builder build his house on the sand, which is the flesh, a carnal life, living life in the desires of the flesh, and not standing in the will of God, and to know God’s will we have to listen to the teaching of Christ and stand in it.

The record God gave concerning His Son was this is My beloved Son in whom I’m well pleased, listen to Him. There we have the will of God revealed through the life of Jesus Christ, as John 17vs3 says and this is life eternal, that they might know You, the only true God and Jesus Christ who You have send. So the knowledge of God is brought to us by Christ, us doing it is what will separate the goat’s from the sheep, the wise from the foolish.

Where there is no vision the people perish, a very important warning from the word of God to man. So let’s look at vision and why it’s so important to God, to have vision one must first require knowledge, and it’s out of a knowledge that vision is born, vision is what you see, you cannot see if you are ignorant, short sighted or blind, spiritual blindness is having no vision, no knowledge of what God wants you to do.

Vision came to the Prophet Habakkuk when he complained to God about the violence in his day, God’s answer to the Prophet was write the vision and make it plain on tablets, that means God spoke to his servant about what His about to do, and said tho it tarry wait for it, for at the end it will speak and not lie.

True vision is birth by the word of God, as you are praying about your situation God will speak to you about it, but the only difference between you and God, will be that the words of God’ will hold the answers. You have to learn to speak what God is speaking into your ears, and with the speaking of the word of God, you will have challenges, but faint not for at the end it will speak and not lie.

Those that read will run with it, God has His servants that will carry out His vision, what He want’s to accomplish in the earth.

When Goliath came against Israel and challenged them to a fight, the men of Isreal was afraid, and wouldn’t go against this giant. The reason why they were scared was because of how they saw themselves, in the face of their situation, you cannot march against an enemy that has defeated you already within your mind, the problem we are faced with today is this, our enemy which always presents himself through problems has a way of getting into our head, because this devil knows that if he can mess with our head, then he can have your peace and steal your joy. So the first thing that the Lord has to restore is your mind, where your thoughts live, now for you to have the mind of Christ, you have to feed your spirit with the word of God.

David’s mind was right, simply because he had the Spirit of the Lord living big inside of him, so when David heard about Goliath his answer was right, who is this uncircumcised Philistine that’s defying the army of the Lord. There was no fear of defeat in David’s mind, not because David had confidence in himself, David’s strength was in his God, and the name of the Lord. That’s how David defeated Goliath, some men trust in horses, some they trust in chariots but we will trust in the Name of our God, for the Bible says the people that know God shall be strong and do exploits.

The stone represents Christ the Word, five speaks of truth, whenever you come against the enemy you have to be armed with the word, and truth will always deliver you, and your enemies into your hands. But truth cannot help you if it’s not coming against the head of your enemy, the stone was directed to the head of Goliath.
