The Three Fold Ministry

And as you go, preach, saying, 'The kingdom of heaven is at hand.' Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers, cast out demons.

 (Matt 10:7-8 )

1.      Proclaiming the kingdom of God

Problem: Sin, rebelliousness, separation from God, injustice

Action: Speaking and giving the message of Jesus—repentance from sin and rebelliousness, good news for the outcast (forgiveness, justice, and deliverance)

Faith: Boldness in proclaiming Jesus’ message.

2.      Healing

Problem: Ailments that separate one from God or his community

Action: Praying for individuals who are needy to be into a whole life.

Faith: Acting on the belief that God will heal the ailment.

3.      Spiritual Warfare

Problem: Enslavement to idols or demonic spirits; attack by unseen powers.

Action: Rebuke and casting out attacking powers in the name of Jesus.

Faith: Seeing the realm of the powers and their authority structure as being more significant than this world’s.

Results of three-fold ministry:

a.       Establishing new communities of the kingdom of God

b.      Judgment of those who reject the gospel of God

c.       Persecution of the representatives of Jesus.
