Arielle Reitsma Instagram – recently, i’ve been reflecting on what’s happening in the Christian media space. Ari, myself and so many of my friends and peers who host podcasts have been given opportunities to gather people in rooms whether it’s tours, live events, even book signings, etc.
theres so much fruit that comes from podcasting and online ministry but there’s such a unique and distinct anointing when we gather. i can’t stop thinking about the call we all have to be “gatherers” and to create spaces for the presence and power of God to fall. we’ve been entrusted with unconventional forms of ministry, and i feel a major responsibility to treat every opportunity like a living continuation of the book of Acts.
for example, turning a book signing at Barnes and Noble into a night to speak prophetically into lives, to lay hands and pray for healing. inviting the presence of Jesus to flood a book store and watching God move and minister in a way that doesn’t even make sense for the setting. employees and random people in the store being drawn to come and sit in the atmosphere where Jesus and His Word are being preached.
Jesus is alive and moving and it’s His will to heal. we’re called to lay hands and boldly pray for healing, with a heart full of faith and expectation that He’ll do it.
even in the middle of Barnes and Noble where we’re going way over time with no plans of stopping and probably gonna get kicked out but if God be for us WHOOOO can be against us?! (even the B&N manager😭)
