Prophetic Ministry
Requires Prophetic Language

Prophetic ministry requires prophetic language. Every call of God has a unique language of faith. When God called Jeremiah into ministry, he responded, "I cannot speak, I am a child."
 In other words, "I'm not qualified." You might feel the same. It's not unusual to feel like that. Jeremiah did, and his words affected God. God had to correct Jeremiah's language. Let's take a look.
"Then the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee, and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations. Then said I, Ah, Lord GOD! Behold, I cannot speak: for I am a child. But the LORD said unto me, Say not, I am a child: for thou shalt go to all that I shall send thee, and whatsoever I command thee thou shalt speak" (Jeremiah 1:4-7).
You can't be strong in the Lord with a weak language. Jeremiah thought he wasn't qualified. It's true he was not experienced, but whom the Lord calls he qualifies. The point is this. God is affected by your words. God says, "Death and life are in the power of the tongue and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof" (Proverbs 18:21). This means you get to choose what lives and what dies in your ministry.
Guarding your heart is important. Scripture says, "My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings. Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart. For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh. Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life. Put away from thee a froward mouth, and perverse lips put far from thee" (Proverbs 4:20-24). A froward language is an unbelieving language.
Words are important to the Holy Spirit. This is a kingdom of God principle. "You shall have whatsoever you saith." Jeremiah received a strong call to ministry.
"Then the LORD put forth his hand, and touched my mouth. And the LORD said unto me, Behold, I have put my words in thy mouth. See, I have this day set thee over the nations and over the kingdoms, to root out, and to pull down, and to destroy, and to throw down, to build, and to plant" (Jeremiah 1:9-10).
This is a mighty calling. Before God could put His words in Jeremiah's mouth, however, he had to correct his language. Prophetic ministry requires prophetic language. Prophets see, hear, and say. As spokesmen, they understand that words:
Affect spiritual climates.
Steer one's life.
Affects the Holy Spirit.
Expose doubt and unbelief, or faith.
Reveal if you are ready or not.
Are proof of change.
Before Jeremiah could enter his ministry, he had to change his language. A correction was needed. He had to renew his mind. The Bible says,
"I beseech you, therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God" (Romans 12:1-2).
This is a good lesson us all. When you change the way you think, you will change the way you speak. Find the words you need. When God called Jeremiah, he wasn't experienced, but it made no difference. Whom God calls, He qualifies. Every call of God has a unique language of faith.

Pleading the Blood- Pastor. Jack Hayford

By
Jack Hayford Ministries • 14800 Sherman Way, Van Nuys, CA 91405 • 800-776-8180 • www.jackhayford.org Pleading The Blood by Jack W. Hayford THE PASSOVER in the Old Testament Scriptures is the focal point of understanding the power of the blood. All sacrifice that proceeds after that in the Mosaic system is founded on this principle: through the blood of sacrifice, there is deliverance, protection, and a God-provided future. This mighty forecasting picture was fulfilled in the Person of Jesus. Jesus had not even begun his ministry when, appearing before the waters of baptism, John the Baptist announced of Him: “Behold, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world” (John 1:29). Everyone present understood the implication of his words, but it was difficult for them to come to terms with the idea that the Messiah, who is the King, is also the sacrifice, who is the Lamb. John was raising a signal not only to that day but also to all history. When we deal with the subject...

Why Tongues- Papa Kenneth E. Hagin

By
  Why Tongues? By KENNETH E. HAGIN TEN REASONS WHY EVERY BELIEVER SHOULD SPEAK IN TONGUES "And these signs shall follow them that believe ... they shall speak with new tongues" (Mark 16:17). The apostle Paul wrote much about the subject of speaking in other tongues. He apparently practiced what he preached for he said, "I thank my God, I speak with tongues more than ye all" (I Cor. 14:18). I too, thank God that I speak in tongues with regularity, and would wish for every believer this same blessing and source of power in his everyday life. The purpose of Part II of this book is to set forth major reasons why every Christian should speak in tongues, and to help believers see the blessings which can be theirs through appropriating the power of the Holy Spirit daily. Reason 1—Tongues the Initial Sign ACTS 2:4 4 And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance. The Word of God teaches that when we are...

The Five- Fold Ministry

FIVEFOLD MINISTRY FUNCTIONS All Ministry comes from Jesus… In his seminal letter to the Ephesians the Apostle Paul introduces us to THE FIVEFOLD MINISTRY This is also known as “The Ascension Gift Ministries” because they were given when Christ Ascended into Heaven Ephesians 4:7-16 (NKJV) 7 But to each one of us grace was given according to the measure of Christ’s gift. 8 Therefore He says: “When He ascended on high, He led captivity captive, And gave gifts to men.” 9 (Now this, “He ascended”–what does it mean but that He also first descended into the lower parts of the earth? 10 He who descended is also the One who ascended far above all the heavens, that He might fill all things.) 11 And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers, 12 for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ, 13 till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, t...
