5 In our minds: thoughts, words, revelation, Num 12:6-8 Our imagination: visions, pictures, dreams, words, ideas… like a “video” in the mind Our memory: remembering scripture, past experiences, God’s word, John 14:26 How do we hear the Indwelling Spirit in Healing Ministry? Our will: a conviction, desire, “willing” something into being, sense of decision 2015/04/29 Copyright Alexander Venter

6 In our spirit: an intuition, hunch, gut feel, impression, “knowing” something, infusion of power, sudden flow of words… Our emotions: the world of feelings, the whole range of God’s emotions… Our body: the bodily senses – the five sense (see, hear, taste, smell, touch) have their “spiritual” side to them Hearing the Indwelling Spirit in Ministry 2015/04/29 Copyright Alexander Venter

7 - Sources: God, human (& crowd hype), and evil (“test the spirits”, 1John 4:1f) - We all only “know in part, prophecy in part…” (1Cor 13:9) - So be teachable, open to honest feedback and correction - The ministry/manifestation must “glorify Christ’s Lordship” (1Cor 12) - Must not contradict God’s word - Must not lead people astray (Deut 13) - “By their fruit you will know…” (Matt 7) Discernment in ministry 2015/04/29 Copyright Alexander Venter
