SCRIPTURE

Old Testament

Judges 6:13 KJV    Where be all His miracles which our fathers told us of?

Psalm 2:8 KJV   
I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession
.

Ezekiel 3:18 KJV    "His blood will I require at thine hand."

Joel 3:14 NIV    Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision!  For the day of the Lord is near in the valley of decision.

New Testament

Matthew 24:14    This Gospel of the Kingdom shall be preached in all the world for (with) a witness  (miraculous evidence/signs and wonders) unto all nations; and then shall the end come."   

Mark 10:29-30 TPNT    29Jesus said, "Truly I say to you, there is no one who left house or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or farms because of Me and because of the Good News,
30who would not take (receive)100 times as much now in this time, houses and brothers and sisters and mothers and children and farms, with persecutions, and in the coming age eternal life."
Mark 16:17-18
  "These signs shall follow them that believe; in My Name shall they cast out devils;...
they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover
."
Mark 16:20    They went forth and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them and confirming the Word with signs following.

John 2:23    Many believed in His Name, when they saw the miracles which He did.
John 6:2    A great multitude followed Him, because they saw His miracles which He did on them that were diseased.
John 20:22 KJV    Receive ye the Holy Ghost.

Acts 1:8 KJV    "Ye shall receive power (dynamis/dynamite), after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you.  Ye shall be (an expert/legal) witnesses (providing proof/evidence/testimony) unto Me...unto the uttermost part of the earth."
Acts 19:2 KJV    Have ye received the Holy Ghost since ye believed (in Jesus Christ as savior, Messiah, God's son)?
Acts 26:15 NIV    15"I am Jesus, whom you (Paul) are persecuting...17I am (equipping and) sending you to to them 18to open their eyes and turn them from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to God, so that they may receive forgiveness of sins and a place among those who are sanctified by faith in Me."
Acts 26:16 KJV    "Stand upon thy feet, for I have appeared unto thee for this purpose, to make thee a minister and a witness (with evidence), to open the eyes of the Gentiles, to turn them from darkness unto light, and from the power of Satan unto God."

Romans 10:14     How shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed?  How shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard?  How shall they hear without a preacher?
Romans 15:19-22 NIV    19I (Paul) have fully (with signs following) proclaimed of Christ. 
20It has always been my ambition to preach the gospel where Christ was not known, so that I would not be building on someone else's foundation.  21Rather, as it is written, "Those who were not told about Him will see, and those who have not heard will understand."(Isaiah 52:15) 22This is why I have often been hindered from coming to you.  [Spiritual insight = The majority of salvations/healings/deliverances/revivals are the result of  (the answer to) others' prayers, often over many past generations.]

1st Corinthians 2:4-5 NIV    4My message and my preaching were not with wise and persuasive   words, but with a demonstration of the Spirit's power, 5so that your faith might not rest on men's  wisdom, but on God's power.

Baker, HA                                    Visions Beyond the Veil                                   www.irismin.org
This book shows God healing, minds, bodies and hearts of Chinese orphans and taking them to heaven to show them their new houses. God also revealed Himself in visions and dreams to the children, impartially, regardless of character, age, seniority, merit, or the lack of it.  Baker shares that God Himself told the children how to wait on Him and how to seek the Holy Spirit, "When the Spirit is among you, do not open your eyes, for that will make it more difficult for you."
Baker, Rolland and Heidi                There Is Always Enough                                
www.irismin.org
The Bakers share a vision where Jesus gives a piece of his flesh as food plus some of His blood and water as drink to Heidi to share with her orphans.  Later when the Bakers needed to feed hundreds of children with a neighbor's gift of one meal, the meal multiplied in her hands, so that every child was fed.  
The Bakers learned that Jesus is always enough, because His heart, love, and power is big enough. 
In the updated book, they share that intimacy with Christ is imperative, for the end times has begun. 
In 2005 they shared that there are so many people being raised from the dead in Africa that their native pastors forget to tell them; it is so common.

Chapter 3 Hungry for Jesus  Church planting/home churches - An indigenous pastor in Patrus, Momoomba near Maputo explains how Iris works, "We have a lot of home cell groups.  If the people grow their group to around 20, we plant a church.  Each day during the week, we go and visit the cell groups...
But, on Sunday we all come together...
Spend your time pressing in for the Presence.  Become so intimate with Jesus, so full of Him, that it does not matter what challenges in life present themselves to you.  You will be so spiritually full that you can feed a multitude of other people's needs."
Chapter 4 Christ of the Rubbish Dump (7-8/2005 blog)  "If you go to where the poor and desperate are...you will be used far beyond what you could ever hope for or imagine.  It will not be because you are worthy, but because you went, and when you do, you will never be the same again." (Go under the umbrella of a ministry; if you go alone Satan will try to pick you off.)
Chapter 5 Revival Fire for the Poor in Spirit  "God is not about using the mighty, but the willing.  He is not into using amazing people, just ones who are prepared to lay  their lives down to Him.  God is not looking for extraordinary, exceptionally gifted people, just laid-down lover of Jesus who will carry His  glory with transparence and not take it for themselves."
Baker, Heidi                               Compelled by Love    www.irismin.org
Chapter 2 Blessed Are Those Who Mourn  "Ministry, however, is simply about loving the person in front of you.  It's about stopping for the one and being the very fragrance of Jesus....you loving like Jesus."

Introduction
.  The Holy Spirit spoke to my heart, "If you want your church to grow, you must develop a greater communion and fellowship with Me.  Don't preach about the Holy Spirit as an experience only. 
He is an awesome person!   Preach about the person.  Develop a communion and fellowship by waiting in My presence after prayer.  I want to talk to you also
...Since my conversion, I would say meeting the Holy Spirit and learning to know Him in an intimate way has been the greatest experience of my life.  My senior partner and I...fellowship every day!"

"While he was in the United States, Duncan met Loren Cunningham and his wife who were prayerfully seeking guidance on setting up a place in Europe for training in evangelism and he willingly agreed to help in every way he could. It was through his cooperation on this venture that Duncan was invited to lecture at the school when it was opened at Lausanne in Switzerland, and it was a great joy to him to spend his last years preparing young men and women for the task of evangelism."

Chapter 6 As I Was with Moses
"The Lord informed one ministry leader that he 'was in a rat race and even if he won the race,
he was still a rat.'"
"Kingdom consciousness...is...not aspire simply to bless their individual churches,
but to change the spiritual atmosphere of their region...
to touch Heaven and bring His Kingdom revelation to earth."
Chapter 7 Where Champions Are Born  "My predominant calling was NOT to seek ministry, but to seek Him.  The Lord communicated to me, 'You cannot meet the needs of the people, until you have met the need of God'...fellowship with His people.  His tremendous sufferings were for that cause...
It is the consummation."  "Much prayer and sacrifice...many seeds of revival and spiritual outpouring have been sown.  Our legacy is as benefactors of a great spiritual inheritance and, as the Bible prophesied, reaping from vineyards we did not plant.  Even so, Jesus declared, those who sow and those who reap will rejoice together."
The woman (whom Satan had successfully messed up) was now at the well (John 4). However she had had her God designed "destiny imparted to her BEFORE the foundation of the world.  The Lord had an appointment with this woman," as He has with each of us, in each generation, especially now in these end times.  "This woman was the Lord's choice...Champions.  They presently do not have a champion's appearance or resumes, but like this woman, they carry a seed of purpose and destiny."
Chapter 8  Engaging Heaven  "God will NOT share His glory with another."  We are "to point believers to the Lord and encourage them to cultivate deep and passionate roots with the Lord Himself."  Leaders greatest desire should "be to see others equal and even surpass the spiritual standards they themselves enjoy...with one objective - to espouse the people to Jesus."
Chapter 10 The Full Measure of His Reward  1st and foremost, it is HIS reward.  2nd it is our joint reward (those who have gone before, us, and then those who have come after).  Each generation has a fork in the road, not only to chose or reject Him, but also to wage war with Him or not.
Chapter 11 Signs of the Times  "We are successful in God's kingdom only to the extent that we yield ourselves to the Spirit's leadership and handiwork.  He imparts the virtues we need to confront the spiritual opposition of our day."  On the "day of visitation, the attributes of the 4 living creatures will be imparted to God's people to empower them." J Hudson Taylor reminds us, "Many Christians estimate difficulties in the light of their own resources, and thus attempt little and often fail in the little they attempt.  All of God's giants have been weak men who did great things for God because they reckoned on His power and Presence with the."  Awesome reminder.
Chapter 12 The Master of Breakthrough  "The angel called Breakthrough" speaks "about God's end-time strategy...The angel responded...'We are going to work with ordinary people who have fully yielded their spirit, soul, and body to the Lord'...Those used most...will NOT boast in their wisdom or might, but in knowing the Lord intimately."

Other books containing "some" of above more complete information are  Serpents in the Sanctuary and Turmoil in the Temple.
Chapter 21 Audience or Army?  The Lord's prayer says, "Father, forgive us as we forgive."  It also says, "Father, forgive us our debts (failures/omissions), as we forgive."  The latter is of vital concern to the pastor who ministers without the baptism of the Holy Spirit, without the fruit of the Holy Spirit, and without the gifts of the Holy Spirit, including healing AND deliverance.  God may hold accountable those who omit the full gospel and full commission of Christ when ministering to their congregations.  Both healing and deliverance are mandates.  Man has 3 parts: spirit, body, and mind.  Jesus ministered to all 3 parts and expects us to do likewise.
For pastors to say that "'demons' were just mental problems that people had...because the people in Jesus' time on Earth believed they were evil spirits...
is borderline blasphemy."  If you "believe that demonic spirits do not exist...then...you have chosen not to believe the Word of God." One does not pick and choose the part of the Bible that is comfortable or agreeable to the intellect.  It is all.  No putting the peas under the table!  "Every pastor should go through deliverance...Your people are in bondage." 
"Pastor, why are you not laying hands on the sick and expecting them to be healed?  Why are you not teaching your people who are sick to call for the elders of the church to let them pray over them, anointing them with oil in the name of the Lord?  Do you not believe that the prayer of faith will bring healing to the sick?  Are you afraid it might not happen?...The blood paid for more than we are claiming!...Jesus defeated Satan with the same Word I have today."

MacArthur, E. Mairi    Columba's Island - Iona from Past to Present    Edinburgh University Press, Edinburgh, Scotland    skeptical historical analysis
Chapter 1 The Island Now Called I-Colm Kill  "Prophecy foretells that 7 years before the day of judgment, the ocean will sweep over both Ireland and Islay.  Yet, the Isle (island) of St Columba (I-Colm Kill/Sanct Colm's Ile/island of Iona/Icholum chille) will swim above the waters."
Chapter 2 A Man of Blessed Memory "The saint was born in Donegal (Ireland) in 521 into the Cenel Conaill - one of the royal household of the day...He studied for the monastic life under various teachers...
Less is documenter for the 40 or so years before he left Ireland...Depending on which chronicler you follow, it was either Conall (one of his relations, king of the Dal Riatan Scotts) who gifted Iona to him as a base or it was Brude, king of the northern Picts...There may be an element of truth in both accounts."  Major contributors to Columba's spiritual legacy are Adomnan's Life of Columba and Abbott Cummene's Life.
Chapter 3 The Legacy of Colum Cille  "It was customary in early monastic times to erect a cross...one of wood or unadorned stone, at the spot where an event of significance occurred and Adomnan does imply that this happened at Iona...An act was indeed passed by the General Assembly of 1640 that 'idolatrous monuments' be demolished, especially in the north of Scotland."
"Although Colum Cille is revered...in the early Celtic church, he was not of course alone.  Much too was achieved through...Brendan of Clonfert on Tiree...Donnan on Eigg, and Moluag on Lismore."

McGavarn, Dr Donald               Church Growth
McGavarn testifies how he lost the greatest opportunity of his 50 years of missionary service in India when God opened a temporary window of opportunity called a "people movement" where the Holy Sprit worked in such a way that almost every one in one particular area of India was responsive to the gospel, rather than normally unresponsive.  The Missionary agency did not recruit others to come from other Indian locations to help reap the harvest of souls; when the window of opportunity had closed, few souls were saved, due to lack of harvesters.
Now such a window of opportunity exists in Mozambique, Africa.

Osborn, Tommy Lee (TL)       Frontier Evangelism                                             www.osborn.org 
"Here are the points which have convinced Catholics, Mohammedans, Buddhists, Shintoists, Hindus and fetish-worshipers by the thousands to believe the gospel of Jesus Christ...bringing healing and deliverance...The sacrifice of Jesus Christ at Calvary paid the price of redemption for every heathen soul on earth.  Their salvation is fully provided...To possess such a treasure, should we not 'sell all' and" violently/aggressively/dangerously claim these souls for God in each generation. 
Beware, "The miracle (and signs) ministry of Christ is the only method of evangelism through which the heathen will believe on Jesus Christ."  Individuals (using God's tell and show method) can take the initiative, using native interpreters, and do what many mission groups have failed to do over the centuries...Without miracles, evangelism can never succeed.  Without evangelism, miracles lose their Scriptural objective - to convince."  One's ministry must be "approved by miracles."  We cannot "delegate" evangelism to missionaries who do NOT have the baptism in the Holy Spirit, do NOT walk in power, do NOT raise the dead, and do NOT all that Christ and His disciples did..."One man preaching the Gospel today on mission fields, with 'signs following' his ministry, can win whole tribes to Christ...Souls are the 'pearl of great price,' the 'treasure hid in a field' for which a man must sell 'all that he hath' to go and buy."  Matthew 13:44-46  The  baptism of the Holy Spirit equips/endues us "with the same 'virtue' that flowed from Jesus Christ into the little woman who touched His garment.  Her sickness was instantly cured...
The hour has come when believers must use the power given to them to liberate men and women from Satan's bondage and to effectively witness...The human mind demands evidence before making a decision...I had preached the Gospel for 7 years before I saw the sick healed before my eyes....
My life and ministry were changed...I began to proclaim His promises.  I began to act on His word. 
I began to cast out devils and to command the sick to be whole in His Name...
God only uses men to the extent of their consecration to Him."
"Why should anyone hear the Gospel twice before everyone has heard it once?...
The whole world is waiting to believe the Gospel proclaimed by one whose preaching is confirmed by the  demonstration of the Spirit and of power."

Roberts, Oral        When You See the Invisible, You Can Do the Impossible     www.orm.cc 
Chapter 5 How I Learned to Become an Original continues to share secrets of how to pastor according to God's will and God's power.   Not my will.  Not dad's will.  Not mom's will.  Not the denomination's will. One of God's direct instructions was to read the 4 Gospels + Acts, 3x, consecutively, in 30 days, on the knees - to help Oral understand how to be/heal/deliver like Jesus.  The Lord also revealed that Jesus' ministry was a trinity (part preaching, part teaching, and part healing/deliverance), so that a pastor was not to exclude one nor be excessive in one aspect.
Chapter 8 How I Learned to Preach with the Anointing Every Time mentors us on the urgency and necessity of never preaching unless one is under God's anointing!  (For beginners, one can "feel" the anointing in/on his body.  Never speak for God without it!  Always ask God for His anointing before attempting to do anything for God.)
Chapter 15 How I Faced the Controversy of the $8 Million & Dog-Track Man God told Oral to send medical missionary teams to open difficult nations to the gospel. (Insight = Allow God to deal with each man according to His own wishes.  Some may be moved to use medication only.  Some may be moved to use faith only.  Some may be moved to use both faith and medicine.  Let us not judge neither man nor God.)

Schubert, Linda                     5 Minute Miracles booklet    www.linda-schubert.com
Chapter 3 Prayer of Preparation shares that it is best to minister in 2's.  Since personalities often interfere one might ask, "Do you have anything against me?" prior to each ministry undertaking.  ALWAYS focus on the fact that it is His ministry and His healing that is at issue, not ours.

Uwizera, Christine M                  The Blazing Holy Fire                          http://www.healingstream.net
Christine Uwizera survivor of the Rwandan holocaust.
Book's chapter 15 Fire of Testing and Persecution discusses mostly psychiatric/emotional/soul torments (due to being a disciple of Christ), although author herself did go through a harrowing time of family devastation during the Rwandan holocaust.  Basically, one who is on fire for Christ, needs to expect that the kingdom of Satan is threatened;  Satin will counterattack, using any method on any weakness/vulnerability we have.  One needs to silently stick to Christ,
even if the end result is martyrdom.  Excellent chapter for those beginning a ministry.
Chapter 11 A Flame of Fire rocks our boat by suggesting that if our congregation is dead, we too are probably dead, or nearly dead, without the flame of the Holy Spirit (which/Who produces miracles/signs/wonders).  It is a red flag/warning for us to get red hot for God (to spend time on our knees until such time that God appears and ignites/reignites His life us).  In other words, if there are no salvations, no healings, no miracles, no resurrections, then the Holy Spirit has departed as He did King Saul!  If the flame in the fire place is only embers, quickly put on a log, lest the fire go out.  It is an emergency - both to us - and to our congregation.

"My Dad...would tell me about the time the Lord spoke to him while I was in my Mother's womb and said, 'I'm going to give you a son, he's going to be a minister, and he's going to preach My Word.  He's going to reach out to people with a ministry that will bring them into a place where they can be healed soul, mind and body.'"

Their threadbare cotton garments would not be acceptable as cleaning rags in the United States...
Years I traveled and worked with only the clothes on my back."
"The secret of following God's will, I discovered, usually is wrapped up in rejecting the good for God's best...No matter what you do, never take yourself too seriously.  Paul Smith, founder of Bible Translations on Tape, was the first executive to say that to me."        
"The majority of the world's 1 billion illiterates live in Asia; the Gospel often must be proclaimed to them without using literature...through...visual aids."

Hinn, Benny                                        Preparation for Ministry                           CD                        www.bennyhinn.org
Hinn, Benny Laying on of Hands  WebCasts  5/14, 2007    5/15, 2007    5/16, 2007    5/17, 2007    http://www.BennyHinn.org/  
1st Timothy 5:22 TPNT  You must not ever lay hands quickly on anyone and not share another's sins; you must habitually keep yourself pure.
1st Timothy 1:18 TPNT  I set this command before you, (spiritual) son Timothy, according to the prophecies that went over you earlier (upon your commissioning/baptism of the Holy Spirit with laying on of hands), that by them you would (be able to) fight the good warfare.
1st Timothy 1:20 TPNT  Hymenaeus and Alexander...I gave over to Satan, so that they would be disciplined.
1st Timothy 4:14 TPNT  You must not never neglect the spiritual gift in you, which was given to you through prophecy with the laying on of hands by the elders.
2nd Timothy 1:6 TPNT
  I am reminding you to rekindle the gift of God, which is in you through the laying on of my hands.
Benny Hinn  warns us when ministering never to allow strangers to lay hands on us nor to suddenly lay hands on strangers,
because we can take on others' demons/problems/sins/curses and because the Lord may allow evil consequences. 
He also admonishes no laying on of hands without the accompanying preaching/teaching of the gospel.
What advantage is there to save/minister to the body and lose the soul/spirit to hell? 
Remember, there is the final judgment (or at least the awarding of prizes or the lack thereof).  When we get to heaven and are judged for taking on the sin of another through our own disobedience/ignorance of scripture; we are guilty even though we did not commit the sin/sins of another.  (It is sort of like when we join ourselves in marriage or prostitution, becoming one flesh, and possibly taking on their unforgiven/unrepented/unconfessed sins.)  We need both God's blood/protection and His anointing before we act/lay hands on another or have them lay hands on us. (Our present life may be full of trouble due to this one error.  Quickly, go to the altar, repent, turn around from one's old methods, and allow the Lord to lead 24/7.)

They share a WONDERFUL miracle of a child, a twin, being rescued from the womb of a dead woman as she was being buried.  This orphan child nursed off the animals' milk (goats and camels) to stay alive.  God appeared to Richard, at about age 6, and revealed Jesus to him.  Now, Richard, an African youth, like so many wounded/broken children, has become a vehicle of God's healing other children, when he prays for them.  Rather than exclusively using priests and adults, God more and more is raising up children to be His arms and legs and heart and power.

Roberts, Evan       http://www.sermonindex.net/modules/myalbum/viewcat.php?cid=6   
This is NOT a healing, but a salvation revival.

"The story of Evan Roberts and the Welsh Revival of 1904-5 is the most thrilling, but also the most sad and sobering in all revival history. On the one hand we see one hundred thousand souls in Wales coming to Christ in just 9 months, from November 1904 to August 1905. This was the beginning of a world-wide revival that ushered hundreds of thousands more into the Kingdom of God. On the other hand, we see Evan Roberts, the principle revivalist of this move of God, becoming deceived, deluded and finally suffering a nervous breakdown which took him out of the public limelight to live the life of a recluse. Furthermore, the fruits of the revival in Wales (but not world-wide) were soon lost through criticism, fears of deception and a Welsh theology which suppressed the assurance of salvation. Within a generation there were no signs that a revival had ever occurred."  [Be warned that one's healing (which one is chasing after by continually visiting every new evangelist) will unlikely stick/stay without both baptisms.

"God had poured out His Spirit. Miracles of healing had taken place. People had seen angels. God had come down to be with us. As...I lay on my bed. I looked up to God and asked Him a question. 'God, how can you use me? I am nothing. I make mistakes. I am far from perfect. Yet I have seen Your glory like a trail of fire following me everywhere. How? Why?'  He answered me! 'It's because you are willing to do anything I ask you to do!'  'Is that all, Lord? Then You could use anyone, any woman, who, like myself, would be totally surrendered to You!'  'Yes, My child, I could,' He answered.  'Then, Lord, raise up ten thousand women-women just like myself, who will pay any price, make any sacrifice, be totally obedient to Your will.' The year was 1966." 
"I beg you, please don't waste your life--answer that call of God upon your life which has been there since you were in your mother's womb.  God's Word says to you, "Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations." (Jeremiah 1:5)You say, "I can't do it.  God says, "Say not, I am a child: for thou shalt go to all that I shall send thee, and whatsoever I command thee thou shalt speak." (verse 7)You say, "I'm not talented. I have no gift to preach.  God says, "Behold, I have put my words in thy mouth." (verse 9)"
"God has given me supernatural strength to fulfill a supernatural calling. But, as hard as I work and as fast as I run, I can't keep up with it...I can understand the heart's cry of Moses when he said, 'I am not able to bear all this people alone, because it is too heavy for me.' (Numbers 11: 14)...Then I hear God say to me what He said to Moses, '
I will take of the spirit which is upon thee, and will put it upon them; and they shall bear the burden of the people with thee, that thou bear it not thyself alone.' (Numbers 11:17)"  Gwen Bergman Schmidt Shaw autobiography

Chapter 7 "Wesley Will Return to Us," but He Didn't  "If a doctor puts you on medication, he alone (rather than a minister) should be one one who takes you off it.  One of the most famous evangelists who prayed for the sick was sued for practicing medicine without a license during a crusade.  He told a 7 year old boy, who was a polio victim, to remove his brace.  Under the law of that state, it was interpreted that the evangelist, who was in his 30iss, was prescribing instead of praying for the sick.  Again I emphasize the importance of a physician attesting one's healing, for it strengthens the testimony."

Brand, Dr Paul Wilson  Noted Surgeon and Author Paul Brand Dies at Age 89  biography http://www.christianitytoday.com/ct/2003/julyweb-only/7-7-41.0.html
"Born to missionary parents in the mountains of southwestern India in 1914, Brand attended London University, where he met his wife, Margaret Berry. The 2 surgeons returned to Vellore, India, to teach at the
Christian Medical College and Hospital.
While working as the school's first professor of orthopedics and hand research, Brand pioneered surgical work with those suffering from Hansen's disease, a bacterial infection more commonly known as leprosy. He was the first surgeon to use reconstructive surgery to correct deformities caused by the disease in the hands and feet, and developed many other forms of prevention and healing from the disease.
Before Brand, it was widely believed that those suffering from Hansen's Disease lost their fingers and feet because of rotting flesh. Instead, Brand discovered, such deformities were due to the loss of ability to feel pain." 7/2003

He lowered (tied to a string) the small Bible (which he always carried) into the hole.  He spoke to the water commanding it to recede.  It obeyed.  The land became permanently dry.

COMMENTARY

If you have been financially burned by others or if you have abused others financially, you need to repent and/or forgive others and self plus pray for others and self.  Take your neediness and wounds to the Lord.  Grow up in the areas that are wanting. Be transparent; submit yourself to at least one mentor/counselor/superior/peer.  Otherwise you have left open a door for which Satin to enter and act up later in your life.  We have found that those missionaries/pastors who enlist at a very young age (such as priests/nuns), those who enlist immediately after finding the Lord (such as drug addicts/prostitutes/street people/prisoners), those from 3rd world countries, plus the very rich - all tend to have wrong thinking that handicaps them, especially as they work their way up into administration and places of power/authority.  Most have few work skills and bad work ethic; seldom do they have adequate business/financial skills to operate a ministry.  You may have heard the statement that they are so heavenly good that they are no earthly good.  Many tend to be like a spoiled brat, expecting their congregation /underlings/donors to bankroll them, while they spend with impunity, lacking accountability and insight.  Many tend to have the attitude of entitlement.  Some even go so far as to interpret their visions, "God told me that you would take care of me (parent me financially and emotionally)!"  If you do not have the needed ministry skills, then get a good team/family around you which has the skills that you are lacking, at least until you acquire the credentials/expertise.  The body of Christ is NOT one person.  It is a church of many parts.  Be sure to join the financial accountability organizations that will monitor your ministry and help you tow the mark.  Plug into the other ministries that likewise will mentor/assist you.  Satin will pick off a loner, like a wolf will pick off a stray sheep.  Additionally, Father God will parent you, and the Holy Spirit will be your counselor, but you need to ask.  Second, the Trinity most often works through people.  We know this because of Jesus' example, God's coming and operating in the flesh.  So if others, such as your parents, have failed you, or if you have failed others and yourself, drop to your knees and allow God to begin to meet your needs.  After all, it is He Who wants to use you - to meet His needs on earth. 

Remember Jesus was a member of God's family (born again) from day #1, but He did NOT begin a public ministry until he had pursued and received the baptism of the Holy Spirit.  (We understand that a rabbi could not begin to practice until he was 30, the age at which Jesus began to minister.) Next, Jesus formed a business, a team of ministry, a dozen co-laborers, which He first trained/mentored.  He did not work solo.  Let Jesus be our business role model.

Ministry work is spiritual parenting.  One has conception and growing pains, plus birthing pains, and then often pains of mentoring.  One's human spirit can feel all these pains, but also those joys, even dancing feet. One key is NOT - to recoil, to fail to act, to fail to go forward, to abort what God is doing.  then we have failed His test of obedience.  Then God has to use the next AVAILABLE person, and pass us by. NOT QUALIFIED, just AVAILABLE.  We must never rely on our fear or timidity or negative thoughts. Neither must we rely on what is NORMAL for us.  For instance, that means that if we typically FEEL comfortable going to a Catholic church and God impresses us to go to synagogue or to a protestant church, then we OBEY Him and NOT our emotions.  We are going for Him or them and NOT for us/me.  In Christ, we are dead. If we are dead, then there is NO shame or embarrassment. We must train our spiritual ears to recognize God's voice in our heart - and OBEY it.

What About Spiritual Covering?

2007 Mendez-Ferrell, Ana + Ferrell, Emerson       http://www.voiceofthelight.com/votl_english/covering.htm
The Voice of Light Ministry explains in part what its' "membership (or spiritual covering)" requirements are.
This ministry is heavily Spanish and ministers mostly in South America.  It is also heavily involved with spiritual warfare.
2008 Mendez-Ferrell, Ana + Ferrell, Emerson    Apostolic Impartation 3 DVDs
for those wanting to come under the covering of  The Voice of Light Ministry.   
http://www.voiceofthelight.com
Recommended for seasoned Christians who want to do spiritual warfare and are not afraid to stand alone with God,
as did Noah.
2009 Mendez-Ferrell (among other pastors/ministries) have now come under conviction that God rather than man/ministry is to be one's spiritual covering. Emphasis is now on the Holy Spirit directly downloading into/covering/mentoring the individual, with the ministry being like a conductor of a symphony.

SPIRITUAL MANTLES

                                                                     Scripture

Numbers 20:24-27 TLB Kwikscan 23The Lord said to Moses and Aaron at the border of the land of Edom, 24"The time has come for Aaron to die, for he shall NOT enter the land I have given the people of Israel, for the 2 of you rebelled against My instructions concerning the water at Meribah.  25Now take Aaron and his son Eleazar and lead them up onto Mount Hor.  26There you you  shall remove Aaron's priestly garments from him and put them on Eleazar his son; and Aaron shall die there."  27So Moses did as the Lord commanded him.

Deuteronomy 34:9 TLB Kwikscan 9Joshua (son of Num) was full of the spirit of wisdom,
for Moses had laid his hands upon him; so the people of Israel obeyed him.

Adamnan      The Life of Columba    an abridged translation by John Gregory, Floris Books, Edinburgh
Adamnan's Preface  Columba "was given the same name as the prophet Jonah.  For the Hebrew word Iona, the Greek name Peristera and the Latin term Columba ALL have the same meaning of dove."  Scripture reveals "that the Holy Spirit came down in the form of a dove."
"Many years before his (Adaman's) birth...a stranger of British race, a holy man and a disciple of the holy Bishop (saint) Patrick, named Mauchte, made the following prophecy, 'In the last years of the world...there will be born a son whose name Columba will become famous through all the provinces of the islands of the Ocean, and he will shed a bright light over the last years of the earth.'"
"An angel of the Lord appeared one night in a dream to the venerable man's mother, between his conception and birth; and standing beside her presented her, as it seemed, with a robe of wonderful beauty, on which fair colours, as of every kind of flower, could be seen portrayed.  After a brief pause, he asked for it back and took it from her hands; and lifting it and spreading it out, he let it go in the empty air.  Grieving that it was taken from her, she spoke to the man of venerable demeanour as follows, 'Why do you take this delightful robe a way from me so quickly?'  He then said, 'It is because this cloak is so greatly honoured that you will be able to keep it no loner.'
After he said this, the woman saw the aforesaid robe gradually flying further away from her and growing larger, so that it stretched beyond the breath of the plains and rose above the mountains and woods with its greater stature.  And she heard a voce afterwards that spoke as follows, 'Woman, do not grieve.  For to the husband to whom you are jointed in the bond of matrimony, you will bear a son so gifted, that he will be counted as one of the great prophets of God; and he is predestined by God to lead countless souls to the country of heaven.'  On hearing this voice, the woman awoke."

Brooks, Steven 12/29/2008-1/2/2009 radio  http://www.sidroth.org/site/News2?abbr=rad_&page=NewsArticle&id=7837&security=1042&news_iv_ctrl=1121
Brooks, Steven   
Standing on the Shoulders of Giants    radio broadcast #1624 + book  superior
"Steven Brooks shares about the release of spiritual mantles" (representing "the presence and power of God on your life to fulfill your destiny").
We each have a destiny for which we were created.  However there are destinies of ancestors and other clergy that failed to complete and/or failed to pass on their mantles.  These too are available to us.  Additionally, we are to pass on our mantles.  Also do not fail to become intimate with the great saints of old.  Much of their spiritual history has been buried and covered over.  Discover and savor their greatness.  There are levels of anointing/ power.  At which floor in God's house are you?  There are 3 baptisms -water/Holy Spirit/Fire!  The fire burns out the impurities of our hearts + sets us  running (and demons fleeing). 
Chapter 2 What Is a mantle?  "The presence and power of the Holy Spirit upon one's life...an anointing...to accomplish what God has called you to do.  Every born-again believer has an anointing within....Be faithful to operate in the anointing that you currently have" and qualify yourself for a new mantle by spending intimate time with the Trinity.
Chapter 3 The Biblical Pattern  "Often when you are at your lowest point is when you are closest to receiving your miracle...Nothing from Heaven comes cheap."  The greater the anointing the greater the personal cost and testing (by both Satan and God).
Chapter 5 A New Testament View of Mantles  "Find your place of anointing and do whatever it is with all your heart that God has called you to do."
If you recognize a great man of God, take every opportunity to serve him, even if it means washing his ministry toilets.  Rejoice that you have this opportunity.
Chapter 6 Examples Throughout Church History "A call to a ministry office is also a calling that usually runs down the family line.  The children might not accept it, but it is available nonetheless " to them or successive generations.  Often those who practice the occult are those who have a spiritual/ Godly calling on their lives, but have misunderstood and misused their giftings.
Chapter 8 Guidelines for Receiving a Mantle  "What you listen to (heed/imitate/read/watch/admire/visit) the most will have the greatest influence in your life."  Sometimes the electronic equipment will refuse to work because of demonic interference or even natural causes; however sometimes God intervenes to shield our physical and spiritual ears.  Today's wine has a much higher alcoholic content than in Old Testament times
www.echipministry.com ; our liberty to drink in public may hurt another's conscience.  Beware of wounding a brother in Christ.
Chapter 9 Let the Holy Spirit choose Your Mantle  "Valuable mantles that have been captured and placed in the enemy's camp are being taken back.  You may be surprised what God want to give to you...Much has been lost through default."
Chapter 10 How I Receive My First Mantle  Transference of holy mantles often come via "serving, close association, dreams, visions, or angelic visitations."  The Lord told Steven, "My people...when they left this world, no one ever claimed their mantles.  They are waiting to be claimed."  "The Lord has a (special) mantle for you to receive...When the Lord gives you a mantle - a special anointing - it will identify with who God made you to be."

Be continually prepared and be continually expectant for your mantle(s).

Fordham    Medieval Sourcebook - Adamnan - Life of St Columba    www.fordham.edu/halsall/basis/columba-e.html
Chapter 3 - Ernene, son of Crasen "came forward stealthily, that he might touch unperceived even the hem of the cloak which the blessed man wore."  St Columba "putting his hand behind him, he seized the boy...He said, 'My son, open they mouth and put out they tongue.'...Carefully blessing it (St Columba) pronounced his prophecy...'Though this body appears to you now very contemptible and worthless, let no one on that account despise him.  For from this hour, not only will he not displease you, but he will give you every satisfaction; from day to day he shall advance in degrees in good conduct, and in the virtues of the soul.  From this day, wisdom and prudence shall be more and more increased in him; great shall be his progress in this your community.  His tongue also shall receive from God the gift of both wholesome doctrine and eloquence.'"

Hunter, Charles and Frances    application for Ordination  @ http://www.cfhunter.org  
(One among many ministries who do this.  Be foreWARNED, avoid free ordination from organizations to which you do not adhere!)

Walden, Franklin (senior)   The Unmistakable, Visible Anointing- Following God's Calling for over One-Half Century    www.franklinwaldenministries.org   autobiography - A must read!  Chapter 1 My Heritage of Faith  "I believe my Daddy had a gift of faith and this gift of faith was transferred to me upon his death.  I also believe it will be transferred to my son, Franklin, Jr., upon my death, along with my own faith."
Chapter 2 My Childhood  Praying in the woods with his Dad at the age of 3 taught him "the importance of spending time with God.  Most of all it taught me I as born for a purpose.  Being born for a purpose doesn't mean Satan thinks you're special.  To the contrary, he tries to kill you and intercept your future influence as a man of God.  He (Satan) won't just destroy you, but he will destroy your faith and shipwreck your life, if you let him...As soon as I (at age 12) accepted the (1st visitation and) call of God on my life, all hell broke loose...For example Satan was so determined to kill Jesus, he caused Herod to kill all babies under 2 years of age...Satan tormented and tortured Job, trying to make him deny God."
Chapter 5 Running with God  "Dad had told me on many occasions that while my mother was carrying me in her womb, that the anointing would come upon mother when he prayed and I would leap in her womb."
Chapter 8 Family Time  "I didn't understand why God had shown me the vision about Newana's birth in such detail until one day, after being in my prayer room, He revealed to me that she was a special baby and would one day marry a minister.  I believe when you are born for a purpose, God is in control of your life...I believe all my children were born for a purpose and predestinated of God."
Chapter 12 Duplicating God's Power  The "purpose in ministry is to duplicate the anoint of God upon my life to younger men who are serious about the call of God upon their life.  I call it soul-winning multiplication."  We "pour Jesus in people, who in turn, pour Jesus into others.  Many of my Timothys are deliverances ministers...they cast out demons."
Chapter 15 My Father's Lifestyle of Faith - Franklin Walden, Jr.  "When I look at Dad, I don't just see the man, Franklin Walden, Sr.  I see all the people that were healed...Dad called me up and he said, 'Do what Daddy does,' and so I stuck my fingers in their ear, and I prayed for them; and they were healed.  That's how he instilled in me that I would have the same walk of faith that he has.  He taught by example.  Over the years he's done it more and more.  Now when we work in services together, we flow in the gifts together."

IMPARTATION
Most ministries nowadays have impartation services for their congregations/students.

Ferrell, Ana Mendez and Emerson                      Regions of Captivity            5 DVD's                    www.anamendez.org
In 2 DVDs Ana shares how to minister to captives (those brainwashed/disturbed/terrorized/oppressed by demons). Impartation prayer is also given for those wishing to enter the deliverance ministry.  (This ministry is only for those with backbone, tenacity, and audacity, plus are willing to enlist and submit to spiritual supervision.)  Recommended is their ministry book with same title reviewed at HEART_MIND_WILL .

Moyo, Andrew                                        Working the Works of God                             www.messengerministry.com
Subtitle - The Keys to Supernatural Ministry Are in Your Hands
Chapter 5 Extravagant Devotion  "How do you gain this (spiritual) power you desire?  'Impartation' is the transfer or bestowing of power and anointing...Impartation, the passing of the mantle endowed with power from on high, is vital.  The mantle...is a conduit for signs and wonders...To receive an impartation, you must find a mature believer...Passionately hunger and thirst for the mantle, be available, and be willing and ready to pay the price."
Romans 1:11 I many impart to you some spiritual gift, so that you may be established.
1st Thessalonians 2:8 We were well pleased to impart to you.

COMMISSIONING

David, Paul Keith       Angels that Gather  - Introduction  www.whitedoveministries.org
"T.L. Osborn later reported that the Lord spoke to him that fateful evening in 1947 and said, 'You can do that!' 
[Branham (had the night before) rebuked the spirits and said, 'Satan, because you have challenged the servant of God before this great congregation, you must bow before me.  In the name of Jesus Christ, you shall fall at my feet.']
Osborn further testified that as he sat in William Branham's meeting, it was as though 10,000 voices spoke to him at once when God commissioned him into his healing and deliverance ministry."

Rogers, Eddie           Supernatural - Living Under an Open Heaven    www.revivalinpower.com
The Holy Spirit asked permission of Eddie, "Allow Me to do in you what I did in him (African Prophet T.B. Joshua)."  We surmise that Eddie has consented.
Bahamas Faith Ministries International Minister Myles Munroe clarifies. www.bfmmm.com   "Because God is a spirit, and when He speaks, His words become law.  His integrity will not permit Him to violate or break His word; therefore, whatever He speaks becomes a law even unto God.  He will never break His word nor violate His principles...God in His sovereignty has decided to delegate authority and dominion in the earth to mankind - a spirit in a body.  This is why God cannot do anything on earth without the cooperation of a human.  Man is God's legal agency (power of attorney) and access to earth."

New Frontiers    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newfrontiers
"
New Frontiers churches have traditionally placed a low emphasis on buildings. In doing so they have moved away from the traditional view of equating the church with the venue. Instead they have emphasized that church is defined by the community of believers that gather together to worship. Consequently New Frontiers churches meet in a variety of venues, with the building having less significance than in traditional church denominations."
