Rhapsody of Realities 11 November 2025: Minsitering By The Spirit
SCRIPTURE: Mark 7:33-34 And he took him aside from the multitude, and put his fingers into his ears, and he spit, and touched his tongue; And looking up to heaven, he sighed, and saith unto him, Ephphatha, that is, Be opened.
Consider how the Lord ministered healing to the deaf-mute in our opening scripture. When you study the Gospels, you’ll notice that He ministered to people in different ways. In Matthew 12:13, when He healed a man with a withered hand, He said to him, “…Stretch forth your hand…” and when the man obeyed, his withered hand was restored. The Master didn’t need to physically touch the man; He only spoke to him.
In some other instances, He used more personal and physical methods to bring healing to people. For example, in Luke 18:42, He told a blind man, “Receive your sight,” and his sight was restored. Similarly, in John 9:6-7, the Lord spat on the ground, made clay with the spittle, anointed a man’s eyes with it and instructed him to go wash in the Pool of Siloam. Consequently, his sight was restored.
Even though the Lord didn’t always minister in the same way to everyone, one thing was constant: He ministered to them by and through the Spirit, despite their unique conditions or cases. It’s the same today. He sent us to heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, cast out devils and raise the dead, and we do these by the Spirit.
We know by the Spirit when all we’re to do is merely speak words, lay hands, or do something unique or specific as prompted by the same Spirit. In the Healing School, for example, that’s what happens. When I step up to minister to someone, oftentimes, I see by the Spirit, a quick vision of what I’m to do, either before I approach the person or right when I’m standing before him or her. This is through the gifts of the Spirit.
It’s different from ministering solely through faith. In that case, you may have to preach a message and act your faith together with the individual, and that’d produce healing through your mutual faith. But the key is being in the Spirit; being full of the Spirit: “And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit” (Ephesians 5:18).
CONFESSION
Thank you, Father, for the ministry of the Holy Spirit in my life; I function by the Spirit. I walk in His visions, promptings and blessings. My spirit is sensitive, and my faith is active. I minister in your Name with boldness and divine direction, bringing healing to the sick and blessings to my world, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

6 Then he said to me, This [addition of the bowl to the candlestick, causing it to yield a ceaseless supply of oil from the olive trees] is the word of the Lord to Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by My Spirit [of Whom the oil is a symbol], says the Lord of hosts.
1 Corinthians 12:7-11
7 But to each one is given the manifestation of the [Holy] Spirit [the evidence, the spiritual illumination of the Spirit] for good and profit.
8 To one is given in and through the [Holy] Spirit [the power to speak] a message of wisdom, and to another [the power to express] a word of knowledge and understanding according to the same [Holy] Spirit;
9 To another [wonder-working] faith by the same [Holy] Spirit, to another the extraordinary powers of healing by the one Spirit;
10 To another the working of miracles, to another prophetic insight (the gift of interpreting the divine will and purpose); to another the ability to discern and distinguish between [the utterances of true] spirits [and false ones], to another various kinds of [unknown] tongues, to another the ability to interpret [such] tongues.
11 All these [gifts, achievements, abilities] are inspired and brought to pass by one and the same [Holy] Spirit, Who apportions to each person individually [exactly] as He chooses.
