The Genuine Flow

by Mel C. Montgomery

Two cautions must be exercised concerning guest ministers. First, a pastor must avoid bringing in ministers with anointings that are too widely different. When a congregation gets exposed to a prophet, then a healing evangelist, then an apostle, then some other anointing, it is similar to drinking a hot cup of coffee, followed by a cold glass of orange juice, then water, then milk, then a soda. In the natural, this causes indigestion. In the spiritual application, it can bring about confusion. It is best to avoid bringing in too many divergent anointings within a short timeframe. People need time to digest that to which they have been exposed. Second, when guest ministers come in too often, people can become somewhat numb.
