When God calls ministers of the
gospel, He anoints them with one or
more of the fi vefold ministry gifts—
apostle, prophet, evangelist, pastor
and teacher—and sets them among
us to perfect us through revelation.
We can connect with these gifts
through partnership, which brings
us into covenant relationship with
them. Once that divine connection
is made, the anointing that is on
the apostle, prophet, evangelist,
pastor or teacher is released to us.
We partake of their grace, or their
anointing.
When the Apostle Paul wrote to
his covenant partners in Philippi
concerning their "fellowship in
the gospel" (Philippians 1:5),
he went on to tell them, "Ye all
are partakers of my grace [my
anointing]" (verse 7). In other
words, the same anointings
and giftings that were in full
manifestation in Paul's life and
ministry were available to those
who were in covenant partnership
with him. All they had to do was lay
hold of them by faith, place a draw
on them, and receive them.
HOW TO
RECEIVE
FROM
THE
MINISTRY
OF THE
PROPHET
If you desire to make a total
withdrawal from the deposit God
gives you, it is critical to understand
the ministry of the prophet.
When you walk into the
Fort Worth Convention
Center, and the 2023
Southwest Believers'
Convention (July 31
through August 5),
you're not just entering
a place where the
Word of God will be
preached—you're
stepping into the
ministry of the prophet.
