Ministry of the Word

I have the privilege of traveling to different parts of India to introduce and distribute the ministry books. While I am not traveling I am still honored to minister the ministry of the word to the saints. Whether I am traveling or not the Lord is gracious to give me the opportunity to participate in the ministry. While I traveled the ministry is to different Christian groups, ministering the word of God, mostly based on my truth constitution as I did not know who I am meeting and what message would be appropriate for them. I followed the inner anointing and minister as the Lord leads inwardly. While I am stationed, I minister mostly to the saints and it's mostly an arrangement in the Body through fellowship that I know what to minister. In fact, I studied first, prayed over, prepared myself, and ministered the word. Either way, I am participating in the ministry of the word. What a blessing!

Once I came back from my ministry literature journey, I was engaged in the local church perfecting meeting, then the Karnataka seekers' meeting, and the church's PSRP meeting. The ministry of the word is so rich that I do not need to produce new teachings per se. I simply have to go through the prepared outlines, pray over, study, enjoy, and minister. In a sense, I need not go to the field to plow, sow, and then reap the harvest. The field has already been plowed, sowed, ripened, and harvested. I simply need to cook the produce of the field and serve it to the saints. I simply inherit from what the brothers have already labored. After all, we are in the same ministry. What my brothers have already worked on, I simply picked it up and reproduced the same thing. The ministry has been attested and approved, it has been experienced by many already, and I am benefiting from the brothers' labor and passing it on to the saints. Praise the Lord!

"Life grows by regulation toward maturity and function" was the message for the perfecting meeting. In this meeting, the regulation was emphasized. The best training is the strictest one. Life grows best in a training environment with strict rules and regulations. 

If we live by the Spirit, let us also walk by the Spirit. Galatians 5:25

The goal of our growth in life is for our maturity in life and functioning for the building up. Such functioning also depends on our diligence. 

Though I was the one to minister this truth in coordination with a brother, I feel I need this message the most. I am not a teacher though I minister, I am a learner too even as I minister.

Another message I coordinated with a brother is on "THE PRECIOUS BLOOD OF CHRIST", an excerpt from The Basic Elelemtn of the Christian Life Vol. 1.

1 John 1:9: “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” 

Why do you need the blood of Christ? Because, essentially, fallen man has three basic problems. These three problems involve three parties: God, yourself, and Satan. Toward God, you often sense separation. Within yourself, you often sense guilt. And from Satan, you often sense accusation. These three—separation from God, feelings of guilt, and accusation from Satan—can be three big problems in your Christian life. How can these be overcome? Only by the blood of Christ.

SEPARATION FROM GOD

Because God is righteous, He cannot tolerate sins. God loves you, but He abhors your sins. For God to come, sins must go. There is only one thing in the entire universe that can take away sins—the precious blood of Christ. No amount of prayer, no amount of weeping, no ritual, no penance, no promise to do better, no guilty feeling, no period of waiting—no, nothing but the precious blood of Christ—can remove sins. When you confess your sins, immediately all distance between you and God is gone. If God esteems the blood of Christ sufficient to remove your sins, can you do the same?

GUILT IN YOUR CONSCIENCE

Sins offend God on the one hand and defile us on the other. What is guilt? Guilt is the stain of sins on your conscience. 

Hebrews 9:14 says, “How much more will the blood of Christ…purify our conscience from dead works to serve the living God?” 

The blood of Christ is powerful enough to purge, or cleanse, your conscience from every guilty stain. Because Christ’s death has paid the debt of sin, His blood may now wipe out the record of that debt. Remember 

If God forgets your sins, you may forget them also. Don’t remind God of something He has already forgotten. 

ACCUSATION FROM SATAN

Satan, “your adversary…as a roaring lion, walks about, seeking someone to devour” (1 Pet. 5:8). For this warfare, you need the proper weapons. One important weapon which you must utilize is the blood of Christ. Nothing cripples a Christian spiritually more than accusation. 

God’s demand is at once satisfied by the blood. If you confess your sin and claim the precious blood, yet some uneasiness continues to tug at you within, you should stop praying immediately. Do not confess anymore. Rather, turn to the source of the accusation and say something like

this: “Satan, I have confessed my sin to God. He has forgiven my sin, and the blood of Jesus Christ has cleansed me from it. The Christian life is a kind of warfare. 

A DAILY LIFE FULL OF GOD’S PRESENCE

By the power of the precious blood of Christ, it is possible for a Christian to live moment by moment in God’s presence.  “Let us come forward…with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience” (Heb. 10:22).  “If we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from every sin.” (1 John 1:7)

At the PSRP meeting, I enjoyed ministering on these points which helped me. 

For the mind set on the flesh is death, but the mind set on the spirit is life and peace. Romans 8:6

In order to live according to the principle of the tree of life, we need to follow the inner sense of  life—v. 6; Eph. 4:18-19; Isa. 40:31: The sense of life on the negative side is the feeling of death—Rom. 8:6a. The sense of life on the positive side is the feeling of life and peace, with a consciousness of strength, satisfaction, rest, brightness, and comfort—v. 6b.

We learn from Romans 8 that we need to turn our being to the living One who dwells in our spirit and stay one with Him—v. 6b; 1 Cor. 6:17. When we set our mind on the spirit, we have life, peace, light, comfort, and strength; our thirst is quenched, and our hunger is satisfied—Rom. 8:5, 6b; John 4:14; 7:37-38; Matt. 5:6. When we set our mind on the spirit, our mind is full of life and peace—Rom. 8:6b: We have peace because there is no discord between our outward behavior and our inner being—v. 6b; Isa. 9:6-7; 26:3. When we speak with our mind set on the spirit, life is embodied in our words because we are one spirit with the Lord—Prov. 18:21; John 6:63; Eph. 4:29.
