Most people want to wait until they “feel” anointed before they try to minister to someone. Some have even been taught that they MUST wait until they feel anointed to minister. NO WHERE are Christians told to wait to minister to anyone. As a matter of fact, we are told to preach the word in season and out. The original greek of that verse says, “when opportunity presents itself and when it doesn’t”.
That means that it is always the right time to minister the Word. The Bible says that the Gospel IS the power of God unto salvation….( Romans 1:16). If the Good News is the power of God and we are to preach the Good News, then it must always be the right time to minister to anyone. Many try to feel something, that they assume would be the anointing. We are not told to wait for an anointing.
The early disciples were told to wait until they had received power from on high or more specifically, they were told to wait for the promise of the Father, which happens to be the same thing. They had to wait until the Day of Pentecost for the Holy Spirit to be released. No where after that day are they told to wait. As a matter of fact they began to minister immediately after receiving the Holy Spirit.
The Holy Spirit is always with us, and this even confirmed by Christ Jesus Himself, even to the extent of Him stating to the disciples; it is better for Him to go, so that the gift of the Holy Spirit can be sent by the Almighty Father.
Consider John 14: 16-18, 26-27 “ And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever— 17 the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for HE DWELLS WITH YOU AND WILL BE IN YOU. 18 I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you.
26 But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and BRING TO YOUR REMEMBRANCE ALL THINGS THAT I SAID TO YOU. 27 Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.”
HALELUJAH, GLORY BE TO GOD.
