WELCOME TO MINISTRY
Kris Vallotton
June 29, 2017
Are you working in a job that isn’t in the church, just waiting for your moment of breakthrough to build a personal ministry?
I’m often asked how to get started in ministry, and I love that so many people burn with a passion to see God’s Kingdom come on earth! However, I think we get it wrong when we believe that the only way to be in ministry is to work for a church. Being a minister of the gospel has very little to do with our profession. The sacred isn’t limited to a church service. In fact, how can a light shine bright in an already lit room? It’s brightest in the darkest places.
Check out this week’s Flashback Friday video to hear one of the most life-changing lessons I’ve learned on this subject from from Pastor Bill Johnson:
When you received Jesus, you became a part of a royal priesthood! The good news is that you have everything you need to start your personal ministry now! If you can pray, prophesy and see healing in the church, then what’s stopping you from working with Jesus in your workplace? Today I want to encourage you to get rid of the invisible line that separates the sacred in your life. Let’s take down the walls in our minds that relegate our ministry to “church work” and step out in boldness in our everyday lives.
To Him, the natural can all be supernatural. So then as His kids, let’s be partners with God to see His kingdom come on earth now, instead of waiting for someone in the church to recognize us, call us out or give us a place of leadership. Waiting for a title isn’t going to make you a better minister, but realizing He wants to co labor with you in everything just might.
What’s one way you can begin to incorporate the supernatural in your everyday life? I’d love to hear about it in the comments!
Have you ever found yourself in the midst of life's chaos, desperately needing a break, clarity, and a spiritual reset? Picture it like halftime – that pivotal moment when the coach steps in, recalibrates the team, and sparks a turnaround. The game isn't over; this is a chance to come back stronger and claim victory! In recent weeks, a resounding message has been echoing in my heart and mind: January is the Church's halftime! Our divine Coach is calling us to the huddle, to draw close, and let Him fine-tune our game plan – our values, thoughts, and behaviors. Amid the noise, He's inviting us to step away, knowing that leaning into these divine moments will catapult us into the second half, ready for victory. And in this game, we already know the final score – He wins!
Gen Z, labeled as the seemingly lost generation to Christianity, and Gen Alpha, the digital natives immersed in screens, stand at the crossroads of an era defined by the rapid evolution of technology. As they navigate the evolving landscape of identity, both personal and global, a crucial question reverberates: "Has the Church lost this next generation?"
Have you ever grappled with the intersection of an unwavering belief in a supernatural God who releases healing from heaven and the pragmatic world of science and medicine? Perhaps you've found yourself standing at the crossroads, fervently praying for a miracle yet receiving healing through the hands of a compassionate doctor. It's a tension many face—the delicate dance of faith in God's miraculous power juxtaposed with the gift of modern medicine. What if there is no tension at all and there is actually a beautiful integration of faith and science?
