I love to read the red letters of Jesus in the Bible as often as I can. Jesus is the Word, and the Word is Jesus (John 1:1, 14). I love how the anointing and understanding rubs off on us. Reading and meditating on Jesus' own words blows religion, tradition and formulas out of the water!
Jesus' own red-letter words are found in Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts and Revelation. Of course, the entire Word of God is vital; but it will change your life, shift your ministry, and blow up 'sacred cows' when you do a Bible study just on Jesus' own words. This time, while reading and meditating on His words, the Holy Spirit had me think about what Jesus did not do, and how that compares with what happens in ministry today.
Prophetically speaking, the Lord revealed to me that following how Jesus operated in ministry will be exactly what will bring in the coming great move of God in these last days. We need to ask ourselves: "How did Jesus minister?" But before we see how Jesus fulfilled His ministry, let us look at ways Jesus did not minister, which is important as well.
