Today I was sampling a video series for our youth ministry and listened to a message by David Nasser. David really spoke to my heart about the passion of ministry, and as I listened to him today all I could think of was: I want to be able to communicate God's Word like he does. This isn't a put down on my preaching, but he is a whole lot better than I am.
The funny thing is that I have had these thoughts a lot through my 6 years of ministry. There has always been one person that I have listened to that has grasped my heart and gave it a desire to sound like that person. I want to be able to change lives through my messages, I want to be able to speak God's Word in such a way that brings people to their knees in prayer. I want God to use me so powerfully that His Kingdom would be embraced by His children, old and new. I have the passion, I have the desire, but what am I missing? What do I do to become the preacher that God wants me to be? How do I begin to minister to the lost in such a way that when I die God will look at me and say, "Well done good and faithful servant!"
I guess all I can do is pray and wait.
Peace, Love, and Soul

Hey Larry,
I commend you on the desire to share the message like someone else. This means that you have a mentor and are continuously looking for ways to better yourself and your ministry. Something we should all be working for in our lives.God is working through you and will continue to do so. Keep your head up.
