Welcome to Ministry

Are you working in a job that isn’t in the church, just waiting for your moment of breakthrough to build a personal ministry? 

I’m often asked how to get started in ministry, and I love that so many people burn with a passion to see God’s Kingdom come on earth! However, I think we get it wrong when we believe that the only way to be in ministry is to work for a church. Being a minister of the gospel has very little to do with our profession. The sacred isn’t limited to a church service. In fact, how can a light shine bright in an already lit room? It’s brightest in the darkest places. 

Check out this week’s Flashback Friday video to hear one of the most life-changing lessons I’ve learned on this subject from from Pastor Bill Johnson:

When you received Jesus, you became a part of a royal priesthood! The good news is that you have everything you need to start your personal ministry now! If you can pray, prophesy and see healing in the church, then what’s stopping you from working with Jesus in your workplace? Today I want to encourage you to get rid of the invisible line that separates the sacred in your life. Let’s take down the walls in our minds that relegate our ministry to “church work” and step out in boldness in our everyday lives.

To Him, the natural can all be supernatural. So then as His kids, let’s be partners with God to see His kingdom come on earth now, instead of waiting for someone in the church to recognize us, call us out or give us a place of leadership. Waiting for a title isn’t going to make you a better minister, but realizing He wants to co labor with you in everything just might. 

What’s one way you can begin to incorporate the supernatural in your everyday life? I’d love to hear about it in the comments!

In a world more connected than ever through the internet and social media, the deep, authentic connection we all yearn for has become increasingly elusive. Created in God’s image, we instinctively desire to be known, loved, and belong, yet so many of us wrestle with invisible barriers that keep us isolated. What if the secret to breaking through these barriers lies not in more connections but in deeper, more meaningful ones with both God and others? How can we identify and overcome what prevents us from experiencing true connection in our daily lives?

In early December, I began seeking a prophetic word from the Lord for 2024. He told me, "I am not going to give you a word for 2024. Instead, I am going to give you a word for the Body of Christ for a new era." He explained that January 2024 would be a half-time; marking the closure of an era and the beginning of a new one. This period would be characterized by immense transition, culminating in the discipling of nations. A supernatural metamorphosis, metaphorically akin to a caterpillar transforming into a butterfly, would occur right before our eyes.

Have you ever found yourself in the midst of life's chaos, desperately needing a break, clarity, and a spiritual reset? Picture it like halftime – that pivotal moment when the coach steps in, recalibrates the team, and sparks a turnaround. The game isn't over; this is a chance to come back stronger and claim victory! In recent weeks, a resounding message has been echoing in my heart and mind: January is the Church's halftime! Our divine Coach is calling us to the huddle, to draw close, and let Him fine-tune our game plan – our values, thoughts, and behaviors. Amid the noise, He's inviting us to step away, knowing that leaning into these divine moments will catapult us into the second half, ready for victory. And in this game, we already know the final score – He wins!
