Ministering The Spirit


 


MINISTERING THE SPIRIT

 

 

“He therefore that ministereth to you the Spirit, and worketh miracles among you, doeth he it by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?” (Gal3:5)

 

 

Ministereth to you THE SPIRIT!

 

 

You are not ministering a sermon… a message… a song… a scripture… a prophecy. 

 

 

You are ministering THE SPIRIT!… 

 

 

A PERSON… 

 

 

THE ONE who raised Christ from the dead… 

Dwelling in you…

Quickening your mortal body…

the same Spirit who brooded over the face of the deep… 

when God said… “let there be…”

 

AND IT WAS!

 

 

MINISTER HIM!!!

 

 

The word ministereth is translated from a very interesting Greek word: “Epichoregeo “. 

 

…from which we get the English word “choreography “. 

 

 

It is a conjunction of “epi” (meaning over) 

And choregeo - the chorus, the round dance, or party. 

 

So together:  watching over the dance or chorus… facilitating the party – to accommodate, supply or furnish generously as would a host. 

 

 

The husband, Christ, leads the dance. 

We are watching over the dance HE is doing…

facilitating HIS bride’s dance with HIM!!!

 

 

WE speak to THAT dance… sing to THAT dance… help the bride… dance.

 

 

As a son of God, led by the Spirit of God… I must first dance with my Husband… in faith… THEN help His Bride follow.

 

 

Mtt11:28-30MSG

"Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? 

Come to me. 

Get away with me and you'll recover your life. 

I'll show you how to take a real rest. 

Walk with me and work with me-watch how I do it. 

Learn THE UNFORCED RHYTHMS OF GRACE.

 I won't lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. 

Keep company with me and you'll learn to live freely and lightly."

 

 

David was a cunning and skillful player. (1Sam16:16-18)

 

Skillful is something we understand…

well rehearsed and prepared for any task. 

…knows all the notes, words, and moves…

 

 

But “CUNNING”…

 

…simply means the ability to play to the Spirit.

 

 

David’s skilled playing of the harp didn’t still the devils troubling Saul…

It was his ability to play to the spirit…

 

 

He didn’t just know the songs 

or how to play them, 

but knew the dance of the Spirit…

 

MOVED WITH…

 

AND MINISTERED HIM.

LET YOUR FRUIT SPEAK

Image
LET YOUR FRUIT SPEAK?     People say, , “God told me”…  or “Holy Spirit directed me…”or… “this business belongs to Jesus, He tells me what to do!”     WHY?     Why do they preface THEIR works with such statements?     Isn’t it a ruse of the enemy to keep them unapproachable, uncorrectable, and continuing their own way without interference? … ITS INTENT: prevent ANYONE from speaking into them or the situation… After all… “who are YOU to contradict what God has said?”     “Every tree is known by his own fruit.” (Lk6:44) “…by their fruits you shall know them.” (Mtt7:20)   An apple tree does not have to tell you it is one… it just bears apples! …a cherry tree bears cherries.    You can tell a Dogwood Tree by its “Bark”… well… maybe that doesn’t fit the analogy.     If I have to tell you I am a certain type of tree, it is probably because there is NO FRUIT to make identification easy.     “He that speak...

FORMING YOUR WORLD

  Forming Your World     Have you been in a place in life where you feel like your world has no form, reason, nor rationale to it… like it is void of meaning or direction… and it seems like the darkness is so deep and thick that you not only can't see, but are so disoriented you have no clue as to which way is up?     How do you get out of THAT?     Gen1:1-2 describes just that scenario, but on a grand universal scale: “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was without form, and void; and darkness was on the face of the deep.”     The rest of verse 2 begins to show the hope in the midst of the vast void…                   “…And the Spirit of God MOVED UPON the face of the waters.”             “MOVED UPON” is from a primitive Hebrew root word meaning: to brood: to hover, flutte...

CONVICTION

Image
  CONVICTION   I have frequently heard the phrase, “the Holy Spirit CONVICTED me”… or… “I was CONVICTED by the Lord”.  As a young boy I was taught that God was this big eye in the sky continually watching to see if I was being good… and the Holy Spirit, being on my shoulder, would  speak in my ear to bring that guilt… shaming me back to the right path.the moment I stepped out of line   But… why did Jesus send the Holy Spirit to us?     In  Jn16:7 Christ calls the Holy Spirit “ THE COMFORTER ”. He uses the term, “ parakletos ”, which was used in NT times of an  attorney (lawyer)… someone  giving evidence that stands up in court .   It comes from two words: “ para ” (close-beside), and “ kaleo ” (make a call). The word properly means: a legal advocate, advisor, or alongside helper who makes the right judgment- call  because  close  enough to the situation.       Zech3 clearly portrays a courtroom drama u...
