How to Receive From
the Ministry of the Prophet
When you step into the auditorium at the 2018 Southwest Believers’ Convention, you’re not just entering a place where the Word of God will be preached—you’re stepping into the ministry of the prophet.
When God calls ministers of the gospel, He anoints them with one or more of the fivefold 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 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.
