Mat 5:48 (NIV) Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.


Planting A Seed
Rom 6:7 (NIV) Because anyone who has died has been freed from sin.

The big question is, why have we been freed from sin? We had to die to become free from sin. Once dead, not only are we freed from sin, we are freed from everything. We are dead. Dead people don’t do anything. It’s easy to not sin when you are dead. We have no opportunities to sin. But, God’s plan is to open the doors to everything.

With there being no limit because of the goal of perfection, death isn’t the end of the road for us. Praise God we are freed from sin. But, why were we freed from sin? So that we could start living an entirely different life and doing an entirely different ministry. Instead of being a corpse that is laying in the ground. Our body is a seed that has been planted in the dirt. The dead body is going to give birth to a whole new way of life that is lived out as a ministry.
As the life of Jesus changes the way you think and feel, it will change the way you talk and interact with people. Because your mind’s thoughts and your heart’s feelings are being changed with the love, joy, and peace of Jesus, you will start ministering patience, kindness, goodness, and gentleness to those people around you (Galatians 5:22-23). Through this character you will be able to gain people’s trust and confidence in you. They will open their heart to who you have become and want what you have to offer.

Ministry starts with the fruit of the Spirit and then moves into the service or ministry gifts from Jesus (Ephesians 4:11-12; Romans 12:4-8). Through the fruit of the Spirit and the ministry gifts of Jesus, the Holy Spirit adds power gifts (1 Corinthians 12:7-11) that bring the supernatural manifestations of God into people’s lives that meet special needs. This is what you are seeing in Jesus as He does His earthly ministry in the Gospels.
