GUIDELINES FOR MINISTERING TO OTHERS

1. Pray for guidance and discernment to see the root of the problems.

2. Minister in humility. Remember, you do not have all the answers.

3. Make sure you are as cleaned up, ‘fessed up, and free as possible.

4. Do not assume anything. Find out first if they are saved. If they have not received the mind of Christ, you will be talking separate languages.

5. Make sure any advice you give fits the situation and is from God.

6. Follow scriptural guidelines and refer them to the word at all points. It is the Word of God that gives life, not psychology or your experience.

7. Be at peace and in unity with co-ministers and designate a leader.

8. Focus on one aspect or area at a time. Make sure your co-ministers(s) have no more prayers to pray, scriptures, words or visions from the Lord before you move into another area.

9. When God gives you a revelation, vision or word, ask Him for permission before you share it. If He says, “Yes,” ask Him, “When?” and “How?”

10. Give the person time to breath. Don’t rush.

11. If, during the course of ministry, you become convicted, do not turn the focus to yourself. Either deal with it later or, if it needs to be confessed to God in order to continue ministry, do so silently. The only exception would be if you need to ask forgiveness from the other person.

12. DO NOT attempt deliverance unless the person understands what deliverance is all about, the need for it and they ask for it. Do not assume that if they ask for deliverance, they understand and are in full agreement.

13. DO NOT engage in deliverance if you do not have the covering of your authority and are at peace with your spouse.

14. Before you begin deliverance, bind and gag all evil spirits from talking or acting out. They have no right to embarrass a child of God!

15. Before you close, bind all retaliatory spirits from coming against all participants, your families and your property.

16. Be teachable. After the ministry session, review with God all that happened and was said, asking Him to show you what you did right, what you did wrong and how you can be more effective in the future.

17. Confess any sin of thought, word or deed. Take joy in your success as you would a basket of roses, allowing God to give you a pat on the back for a job well done. Then, before you go to sleep that night, give your roses to God as a sacrifice of praise so you can begin the next day with a clean slate and ready for your next assignment.
