This teaching begins with a discussion about ministry and healing. Jamie states that there are those who need help, and there are those who have the ability to help. Then he lists three books he read in high school that helped direct his life. The recording ends abruptly mid-service.
Topic: Ministry
Working, Relating, and Being
We are all working together as the body of Christ. We are family and we are in ministry together for the glory of God. God wants us to achieve, but He also wants us to relate to each other. He wants us to be balanced.
Congress of the Holy Spirit
Jamie talks about the Good Samaritan, “shadow ministries,” and the way that signs and wonders follow our ministry.
Full-Time Christian Service
God has called every believer into full-time Christian ministry. This does not necessarily mean we are to quit our jobs and go to the mission field. It does mean we are to be like Jesus everywhere we go throughout our normal lives.
Who is Unworthy to Minister
Jamie touches on the sensitive issue of what disqualifies a person from ministry. In 1987 several key Christian leaders were scandalized. Did the church react in a Godly way, or were we overly judgmental? Jamie touches on the issue of bitterness in our hearts as he teaches from Acts 8 and the story of Simon the Sorcerer.
Your Shadow Ministry
As you look back across your life you will likely recall people who have let their shadow fall on you. Because of them you are who you are today. As you use your giftings for the Lord’s service, your shadow is falling on untold numbers of others, and God is healing and blessing them, not because you have physically touched any of them, but because you are being obedient to Him.
