That's when he needs people to minister to him.

He doesn't need people to tell him what the Bible says—he already knows that! He needs somebody who can minister to him not by the letter of the Word, but by the love of the Word!

The thing I think we have missed in part of this charismatic Word revival is the love of God.

We have been so hard with the Word of God that we've left out the love of God. But I want to remind you that the Word and faith do not work unless we have the love (or compassion, if you want to use that word). For more on this subject, see my minibook entitled Faith Worketh by Love.

You need to realize that just because people sitting around you in a service are singing and maybe even praising God, you don't know what the enemy is feeding their mind. You don't know their situation. That person sitting next to you may be hurting and nobody knows about it. Your tapping him on the shoulder and saying, "We love you in Jesus" may minister to that individual more than you ever realize.

We need to minister with love, not just with the letter of the law. We don't need to preach,

"This is what the Word says. Get hold of the Word and you won't have all these problems." If you grasp this, you will receive great rewards as you minister to people with love.

Reaching Out in Love

Love has won more people to God and has ministered to more people than all preaching combined. Yes, you can talk about faith. You can quote Scriptures until you're blue in the face, but when you reach in your pocket, pull out some money, and give it to the man who is down and out, that ministers to him more than any word you could give him.

I'm not talking about going to the extreme and establishing a welfare program in every church; I'm talking about ministering with a heart of love!

I'm talking about reaching out with the hand of love to those who are in need.

GALATIANS 6:10

10 As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith.

(That means those who are born again.) Many times as I'm walking around the campus and other places, I see a need. If I hear about a student who is in financial need, I don't turn in a prayer request; I go take up an offering, or I reach in my own pocket and pull out some money, shake their hand, and walk off. And then I don't go around telling everybody about it. That's the way you minister in love.

I don't go up to them, put my arm around them and say, "Hey, you've been in a faith class and you know it says God will supply your needs and, brother, we're believing and praying with you."

Let's get down where we live. Let's get down where the rubber meets the road, and let's put it together where it is.
