The Holy Spirit is your Godliness for bringing the life and ministry of Jesus into your life and ministry. A God Given Faith Is Directing Your Ministry
A strong and consistent faith is coming into you for being able to allow certain aspects of Jesus’ ministry and certain power gifts to flow through you. God’s grace is helping you to believe that Jesus is going to make these parts of His ministry available to you. It will become “natural” and easy for you to serve people in certain ways because the presence of Jesus and the power of the Holy Spirit seem to automatically flow like this through you all the time. Eph 4:11-13 (NIV) It was He [Jesus] Who gave some to be apostles, some to be prophets, some to be evangelists, and some to be pastors and teachers, to prepare God’s people for works of service, SO THAT the body of Christ may be built up until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ. A God Given Power Is Shaping Your Ministry
You may find yourself being drawn and equipped to start new works in various places as an apostle; you may find it easy to know what God is trying to do in people’s lives and be able to give them specific, personal information as to God’s plan for their lives as a prophet; you may discover a deep desire to spend all your time working with the unsaved as an evangelist; you may start spending all your time with new and untrained Christians helping them with their spiritual growth as a pastor; or you may find it easy to understand and want to teach the Bible to everyone you come across. One of these ministry gifts of Jesus or one of those found in Romans 12:6-8 will start manifesting itself inside you. It may not be the one you have picked for yourself, it may not be the one someone else has decided is your special gift, it may not even be one that seems like it is a natural fit for you. However, it will be the one that seems to always flow through you with ease and with power. Rom 12:6-8 (NIV) We have different gifts, according to the grace given us. If a man’s GIFT is prophesying, let him use it in proportion to his faith. If it is serving, let him serve; if it is teaching, let him teach; if it is encouraging, let him encourage; if it is contributing to the needs of others, let him give generously; if it is leadership, let him govern diligently; if it is showing mercy, let him do it cheerfully. Godliness Is Making Your Ministry Jesus’ Ministry
No matter what ministry gift from Jesus and what power gifts start flowing through you by the Holy Spirit, Godliness becomes the most vital part of it all.

Humility will help you give all the glory and honor to Jesus. It will help you live Godliness before everyone you minister to. A pure flow of Jesus and the power of the Holy Spirit will minister through you. You will need to ALWAYS be praying that no contaminants from your body, the world, or the devil will be mixed in with God’s work through you. Godliness is a constant manifestation of the attitudes of Jesus found in Matthew 5:3-12. You will minister with the attitudes of being poor in spirit, one who mourns over those areas where you still don’t have the victory of deliverance in your life, a meek person, a person who is always hungering and thirsting after righteousness, one who is merciful, one having a pure heart, a peacemaker, and one who is willing to be persecuted because of righteousness so you can reach as many people for Jesus as is possible. Godliness Binds Your Ministry Of Jesus’ With Jesus’ Ministry In Others
When you couple the ministry gifts of Jesus and the power gifts of the Holy Spirit with Godliness, you then have a work of Jesus that is dynamic and world changing. You attitudes are always the same as Jesus’ attitudes (Philippians 2:5-8). This makes it possible for you to not only be able to be used by Jesus to reach your world for Jesus, it will empower you to be able to work together with all the Christians around you. Godliness Will Change Our World For The Cause Of Jesus
Col 3:12-14 (NIV) Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity. Col 3:15-17 (NIV) Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom, and as you sing psalms, hymns and spiritual songs with gratitude in your hearts to God. And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him. This passage is a great description of Godliness. Allowing Jesus’ life and ministry to flow in and through you will give you the Godliness you are seeking. He and the Holy Spirit will empower you to live and minister Godliness to all those around you. God is your answer to being the kind of person you need to be so you can help others be the kind of people they need to be. Jesus will work in and through you so you and He can change this world into a place where people are becoming God’s children and joining His Kingdom. |
