Building Spiritual and Natural Character for Effective Ministry

Spiritual character

The first part of the course teaches how to cultivate the anointing (1 John 2:20) through four disciplines:

• Holiness: living, speaking, and thinking "Be holy, for I am holy" (Leviticus 19:2)
• A heart quick to repent
• Prompt obedience to the Holy Spirit
• Prayer, worship, and study of the Word of God, with His Word abiding in you

Then comes the fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22-23): choosing to act by the fruit of the Spirit and not by the flesh, and praying in the Spirit, with less of one's humanity and more of God in oneself.

Precision in the Spirit

An original section of the course concerns spiritual precision: listening more to the Spirit and speaking less, being sensitive to His voice, and not allowing the devil to lead your prayer life. The goal is a servant of God who discerns accurately, in spiritual things as well as natural things.

The course also insists on the importance of a personal prayer life: God saved us for relationship, and prayer maintains that relationship, gives direction for your life, and gives strength to live by conviction.

Natural character

Ministry does not rest only on the spiritual. The course also covers natural character: integrity, reliability, personal discipline, relationships, and the visible qualities that give credibility to the invisible message.

Who is this course for?

For those who want a ministry that lasts, and for every disciple of Jesus, because the spiritual and natural character this course builds serves every child of God: in family, work, and church, long before any public function. Faithful lives, like faithful ministries, are built in secret.
