Don’t Doubt His Ability To Minister Through You
Length: 3 minutes
Too many people leave ministry — like healing, casting out demons, service, encouragement — to the “big shots” in the church. Christians often compare what they have seen in their life so far, with what those ministers are seeing in their life, so they disqualify themselves from ministering in certain capacities. This may not be a conscious decision, but when you look at someone else ministering by the Spirit and are only thinking about your flesh, you slip into disqualifying yourself.

It’s About The Communion, Not The Community
Length: 5 minutes
I have heard many people that have either given up on their faith or backed off of seeking the Lord.

How would you feel if someone left you because of something someone else did?

Let Go Of The Things That Make You Poor
Length: 10 Minutes
God is not asking us for any payment for the things He’s given, but when things hinder our knowledge of Jesus, those are things we should certainly let go of — not as if we’re offering it to God, but for our own sake. Trust me, when you give something up to know Jesus more, you’re not making a sacrifice. You’re letting go of the things that make you poor, for a Wisdom that wants to make you rich.

Being “On Fire For God” Does Not Equal Knowledge
Length: 7 Minutes
There is a term in the church today — “on fire for God.” Ultimately, this is a term that is used for someone when they are extremely enthusiastic about God; often accompanied by a lot of very fast and visible results. While I’m not trying to dissuade anyone from being excited about the Lord, mere enthusiasm is not what we should be looking for in a person.

When a believer really starts digging their teeth into the knowledge of Jesus, it produces such an excitement and zeal that almost immediately, on its heels, is the desire for a Bible school degree, a position in the church, or even their own ministry. Let’s talk through all these emotions.
