do we minister out of our flesh or the anointing?

A persons gift will make room for him and attract the notice and attention of others. furthermore, that gift, though legitimate and God given, can be operated in pride and arrogance rather than in submission to God. That was Satan's problem:unbroken, unyielded giftings. In the church world, education, connections, manipulation,innovation, entrepreneurship and aggressiveness can amplify a persons gift. the fact that a ministry continues to expand and looks exciting in no guarantee that the person is operating in the anointing. the anointing operates in brokenness and submits to the correction of others, is transparent, and operates in relaxation and peace. the anointing focuses people on Jesus intstead of a person.When we begin to force ourselves, assert ourselves, and promote ourselves , we are moving in our gifting and flesh. larry stockstill - the remnant restoring the call to personal integrity
