Our heart is to see more laborers rise up, rise up with less red tape and stress, and to be effective.

Something that I often see hinder ministers, preaching or teaching out of their experiences and desires rather than the need of the person in front of them and how Jesus wants to encounter them in it.

So we can pull any number of ways scripture has been taught wrong, people have misused ministry, etc. There is a place for addressing weaknesses in the Body, but we must be aware that it isn’t even a problem for everyone.

For example, if you are going after the lost and discipling them, they simply want to see the promises of Jesus come into reality. They have zero clue about our Christian Soap Operas we have going on. For them, simply know what you know the Bible teaches and teach that. Meet their needs as Christ working through you. But you don’t always need to bring up where it has been wrong.

Now, if you are dealing with people who have been disconnected from the Body and it is largely because of issues of teaching or misuse of ministry, that can be a place to acknowledge that the Church has not always gotten things right.

Likewise, people coming out of seminary, a new believer is probably not caring at all about the name of John Calvin or what the Hebrew really means.

We must stay in a place of effectiveness. Not merely preaching from our own interests but being a conduit between God and the one in front of us.

THE EARLY CHURCH DIDNT HAVE “WORSHIP GATHERINGS”, LETS TALK ABOUT IT…

The early Church never mentions doing things like getting together to simply get worked up and sing some good songs together.

It never even talks about that as being worship.

We hear about offering ourselves as living acts of worship.

A place where we do get some kind of picture like this is the temple worship, and specifically David’s Tabernacle worship where they set up paid musicians and prayer leaders for 24/7 worship unto the Lord.

We have gotten way off from this where we love to have “worship” nights.

But the thing is this, when we boil it down to simply coming together to sing some songs, and we make this the highlight of “ministry” times, we are really saying, “The times I love are where I get to come in, feel like I’m part of the Body without actually engaging with much of the Body, where we done have edification or encouragement, no accountability given to each other, and the we leave patting ourselves on the back.”

This is one of the reasons the role of worship leader needs to be steered back to being a minister first. I really don’t care if you’re a musician if you cannot minister, if chains are not broken, if the glory of God is not evident.

Our worship times should involve just as much ministry as any other time: prophetic words, releasing of scripture, prayer, healings, breakthroughs, impartation, accountability. It should drive people to worship everywhere and in everything they do.

The different venue and setting may cause it to vary in method, but the pieces of ministry should be evident, not simply music.

We have learned how to make good sounds, but the question is does Heaven think the same thing? Is there anointing that breaks yokes and plows up hard ground, or is it simply pretty? Does it give us an easy way to say it was an amazing time without the actual fruit? Would outsiders say, “yeah it sounded good,” or would they say, “you could feel God all over that place and you guys are different!”?

We aren’t here to play games. The Kingdom isn’t a matter of mere words, but of power.

Perhaps one of the reasons, besides the obvious, that Paul told Timothy (a pastor) to do the work of an evangelist is because working with unbelievers and new believers forces you to deal with what is practical for godly living instead of getting caught in the weeds of “deep theology”, questioning who is more anointed, and the vacuum of Church culture.

Evangelism and true discipleship causes you to face reality.
