An Established
Covenant By Pastor Pete Norris |

If you need greater faith or increase in the anointing in your life, I want you to listen to what I am about to teach. I want you to take out your Bible and listen to what the Holy Spirit is going to minister to you in this area. Matthew 10:41-42 He that receiveth a prophet in the name of a prophet shall receive a prophet's reward; and he that receiveth a righteous man in the name of a righteous man shall receive a righteous man's reward. 42 and whosoever shall give to drink unto one of these little ones a cup of cold water only in the name of a disciple, verily I say unto you, he shall in no wise lose his reward. When we come into partnership with a ministry, we receive that same anointing that is operating in that ministry. Also we receive the reward that the ministry walks in. When we begin to understand that we are in partnership with the things of God. We are all coming together as a group of body of believers. Philippians 1:3-7 I thank my God upon every remembrance of you, 4 Always in every prayer of mine for you all making request with joy, 5 For your fellowship in the gospel from the first day unto now; 6 Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ: 7 Even as it is meet for me to think this of you all, because I have you in my heart; inasmuch as both in my bonds, and in the defence and confirmation of the gospel, ye all are partakers of my grace. The Apostle Paul realized this law of the Spirit. That is why in the letter to his Philippian partners he transferred a boldness in his partners. We as believers must realize that we are to corporate in the Body of Christ. The body needs to stop pulling in ten different directions and come together in one accord. We also see in the last phrase of this verse that Paul was telling the Philippians that they were partners of his grace. When we understand that we are also walking in the grace of a ministry that we are praying for or supporting financially, we understand the purpose for the ministry. Paul was telling the people "As my partners, you share in the grace God has given me to carry out in my ministry". We need to become partners of ministry. I believe if the real body of believers are going to do what God has called us to do. Then we have to come into agreement. "But I do not need those kinds of anointings!" You may say, "I am not a preacher. I am just a farmer... or a housewife... or a car salesman." That may be your profession, but are you not called to witness to people, pray for them and minister to them as you go about your daily course of business. Yes you are! And the more of the anointing of God you have available to you, the better you will be able to do it. What's more, when you partner up with a ministry, the farmer anointing, or real estate anointing, or whatever that is on you becomes available to the ministry. When you understand that, you can see when the leadership of the Holy Spirit come together in partnership as he directs, we will all be fully supplied. None of us will lack anything. Spiritually, we will have the full scope of the anointing of God. And materially we will enjoy the prophets reward. Joining in faith together to receive exceeding abundantly above what we can ask or think. I am convinced it was that reward that Paul had in mind when in closing his partner letter to t he Philippians, he told them, "My God shall supply all your needs according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus". (Philippians 4:19) When we hook up with a ministry our faith is joined together. Because as you pray for the ministry, we at the ministry are praying for our partners. Now when we have 1000 people that are praying for the same thing - one sets a thousand to flight and two can set ten thousand to flight. What will 1000 do to the devil. I am believing for 1000 people to come into partnership with this ministry, then we can put the devil on the move. I would like for you to pray about coming into partnership with this ministry. Also mail us a picture of your family. And we will pray for those family members every day. Please listen to the Lord on becoming a partner with Pete Norris Ministries. We at the ministry love you. God Bless You. Questions or Comments regarding this site?? Contact webmaster@pnministries.org Copyright 2000, Pete Norris Ministries, Inc./Harvest Fellowship Church All rights reserved |
