I know lots of you think the way to go today is connect with a zoom call, I tend to not see it like that. From my deliverance ministry perspective, I will stick with the thought, who is on the call and why would you allow people you do not know to come into your private space area via your computer screen? You would like to think in the perfect world that everyone taking the ministry class is walking with Holy Spirit like you are. I get it that people seeking information are all on different levels of growth and that is fine. You have to start somewhere when learning about a subject. Did you ever consider that the enemy will place people as a plant per say to disrupt the class and speak forth the possibility of curses and not blessings upon the minister and those attending the class? Today, that is a reality unfortunately.
I attended the class via calling in on the phone. Something inside of me keeps me from not joining this zoom call stuff, meaning being shown on the screen from the location you are participating from. I sought out counsel in regard to this concern I have. I was given sound advice to only participate on small scale zoom calls in which I would be comfortable. Basically, where I know the participants and they know me. No, I have not participated in any zoom calls. So, when you do not connect via zoom link the other option is to call in via a phone. Quite honestly, it is difficult to interact when experiencing this over the phone. You do not see anything going on, just hear what is being spoken. When they send the replay video, I can see that I appear on one of those little tiles as a phone icon and phone number listed, no name listed.
There was a point in this class in which I sensed even via phone there was confusion coming in. I prayed against this while it was taking place 3 times as Holy Spirit showed me. Then, a question submitted sort of brought a bit of a warning flag to the minister, the content of the question. Let me tell you, this does not surprise me in the least bit because it all stems back to my original concern. Not everyone on a Christian ministry call may be walking like you walk in your life. Insight was brought to the minister, and it was handled tastefully. Here I go again, why would you allow 70+ strangers into your home not knowing who they are or their walk with the Lord status. Would you invite a soothsayer into your private domain? I would like to think you would not.
It comes to the small group session portion. You are placed within a group to share and being on the phone you have to unmute yourself for them to hear you and speak. It is like being led with no light in front of you. You cannot see what is taking place only hear. When it is your time to share, they only see a phone number and you then state your name and speak. It truly is not interactive for people that may call in via a phone and do not connect to the zoom link. I cannot see anything going on in the group or the entire class and only know what is going on or taking place via sound. I guess it does not matter what my personal experience is, what matters is I share what Holy Spirit wants me to share in our group. I followed His lead and spoke it forth. I then received one last insight just before closing out our group session and shared it.
When I view the replay video and times when they bring all of the participants onto the screen it is quite distracting. People walking around, drinking beverages, viewing the class from what appears to be bedrooms. I think I have seen people laying down taking the class. I like to focus when taking a class and that is why I tend to sit up front. Less distractions around you. I am not saying ministry does not take place in zoom call classes, I guess it is just not for me. I do not know if I will take future classes within this ministry even though I would like to. Why can't they just go back to webinar format so as to not have to deal with multiple personalities on a call. You deal with a small group of facilitators/hosts and that is it. One more thought, I did hear someone say that they like being a facilitator for small group because that gives you the opportunity to interact with the minister if you are called upon to share with the group. Before I knew that I did mention that I would volunteer as a facilitator but could not because I was not zoom connected to participate. The right facilitator was selected for our particular group. Please go back to webinar style.
