This is my response to the suggestion made in the "28 Days..." exploration of the Mystical style to re-read the section in "3 Colors..." on the mystical style and post reflections.
Gift-based ministry is based on the conviction that God has already determined who should assume each ministry within the church. The role of the leadership is to help its members identify their gifts and find or create ministries that match them. When you live in harmony with your spiritual gifting, you are no longer ministering in your own strength, but the Holy Spirit is working in you. Thus, even though you may be an ordinary person you can accomplish extraordinary things...This whole exhaling / inhaling thing has been a bit of a revelation.
My starting point is on the green blue side of the trinitarian compass and with church life. A percieving detached believer who lacks faithfulness and self control, but is totally big on the peace and goodness.
