Activation: Ministering via Remembrance
ACTIVATION: PRACTICING HOW TO MINISTER THROUGH GOD SPEAKS THROUGH REMEMBRANCE
INTRODUCTION
One of the ways God speaks to us is to bring things into remembrance. As we realize we have the mind of Christ, we become more sensitive to hear God more through Him bringing things into remembrance. The more fluent you become in being led in this way, the more you learn to trust His leading through bringing things into remembrance.
Sometimes when prophesying over someone – if I do not see a picture, vision or hear something over them, the Lord brings something into memory instead. It is very exciting process to learn this awesome way of hearing the Lord.
John 14:26 But the Comforter, who is the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.
1 Corinthians 2:14-16 But the natural man receives not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. 15 But he that is spiritual judges all things, yet he himself is judged of no man. 16 For who has known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.
Romans 8:14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.

Dear {name of person}
When I saw the topic on animals, I was drawn to a prairie dog. It brought into memory a documentary I once saw on TV where I saw all these praire dogs coming out of their holes and standing at attention, as tall as they could stand! They had their little paws in front of them ready to receive and they looked like they were expecting something.
I sense that the Lord is drawing you up and out of a past cave time. And you are coming to the surface with hope and expectation in your heart for something He is bringing to you.
Job 14:7-9 For there is hope for a tree, if it is cut down, that it will sprout again, and that the tender shoots thereof will not cease. 8 Though its root grows old in the earth, and its stump dies in the ground; 9 Yet at the scent of water it will bud, and bring forth branches like a plant.
