HOW TO MINISTER
Consider the person’s needs and match the name(s) of God and also His attributes that are quickened to you. The key idea of this activation is to focus on God and Who He is when matching it against the person’s need. You can pray, share a scripture, or any other way God speaks in addressing this need, as long as it DIRECTLY relates to His Name or Attribute. This is a way of exalting God over the need, of giving honor to Him, or praising Him, of putting the focus on Him.

Thank You Papa for comforting {person’s name} because You are the God of all comfort!
