A Minister to God
When we minister to someone we serve them! What does it mean to serve? Let's take a restaurant for example, almost everyone has been to a restaurant where they are greeted by their waiter/waitress. Those that are serving you ask what they can get you and what are your needs. Did you know that there are priests that minsiter to the Father? In Ezekiel 40:46 we are told of a special priesthood which "...are the sons of Zadok among the sons of Levi, which come near to the LORD to minister unto him." Few can fathom the Father having any needs which raises so many questions into the area of ministering unto HIM. Have you asked him lately what he needs, what his desires are, and that the burden of his heart be in you. As we become one with the Father as Yahshua, we will being to walk in greater intimacy and know secret things. Deuteronomy 29:29 says "The secret things belong unto the Lord our God: but those revealed unto us and to our children forever..." This is saying that God's people have common knowledge of the Bible, but there are mysteries and secrets that belong to the Father and to those that are ONE with him, those taking their identity as the Father. Jesus said "If you have seen me, you have seen the Father." As we draw close to the Father, we begin to grow in intimacy with him, his desires become our desires, his burdens become our burdens. When we look at the word "minister" H3334 Sharath, we are shown 3 symbols: Shin (Separate/Destroy), Resh (Head/Authority), and Tav (Mark/Sign). The definition provided is that mature sons/priests/brides will minister unto the Father by destroying or separing him from his fleshly or beastly mark. Remember that we are one flesh of his flesh and bone of his bone. As we bring Salvation and Resurrection to our flesh, we bring it to his flesh. We are the Bread of Life, if we have taken our identity as Yahshua, and the Father feeds on us and we feed on him. This ties closely to the revelation of being HOLY (which means set apart and separate). We sing holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty because we are separating Him from this flesh and declaring that we are the NEW CREATION, the God that is to COME...
