I WAS CASTRATED OF EVERY FORM OF POWER WHEN I ENTERED MINISTRY | Dag Heward-Mills

Bishop Dag Heward-Mills reveals why the anointing is the single most important thing to pursue in ministry, calling it the most mysterious blessing a person can lay hold of. He shares how when he first stepped into ministry he was castrated of every form of power - brain power, money, wisdom - and was like a naked man whom God had to take from nowhere to a place where crowds now have to be turned away. He exposes how people try to find the secret behind his ministry in programs, church structures, or finances, but miss the real source entirely. Bishop Dag reads from 1 Kings 19:14-17, where the Lord commissions Elijah to anoint Hazael, Jehu, and Elisha. He teaches that behind every anointed person there are four or five visible qualities that look like the reason for their success, and the battle is choosing which one to pursue. Using the example of Katherine Kuhlman, a woman who became the most anointed healing minister, he shows that no natural quality is the constant - only the anointing is. He charges listeners to fight the battle in their minds and choose the anointing above all else.
