When I stepped into "ministry" in 1995 there was very little in terms of support for a young pastor. I received my "accreditation" through an organization in Minneapolis and they never spoke to me.

I had no insight or oversight provided by these who were "covering" other ministries. All I did was pay dues.

I went to other "ministry associations" but it was much the same. The "Charismatic" church I was attending at the time had a minister's meeting each month where the lead pastor would hold a mini service just for pastors and a luncheon.

As nice as that was, it lacked substance. This was no gathering of the HOLY ANOINTED to discern the will of YHWH Elohim.

These were Pharisees.

Let me explain.

The Pharisees were people who were PROFESSIONAL priests. What this means is that they went to school and received their "credentials" and as such relied on their political and organizational skill to navigate their world.

It was not very different than the corruption we see in governments across the world. Gatekeeper bureaucracy that enriches a select few under the guise of legitimacy.

This was never YHWH Elohim's plan.

Yahusha stiffly rebuked this form of ministry and demonstrated the way that proper discipleship was to be done.

That is what we will endeavor to emulate.

This platform was created so that we could move beyond the matters of flesh and blood and unite in SPIRIT and TRUTH.
