John Mason<\/strong><\/p>\n

I have offered verbal ministry extremely rarely \u2013 only once that I can recall! On the few occasions when something has arisen inside me that was unexpected and of unknown origin, I have asked myself the question of whether it was something that needed to be said, now. Sometimes someone else has ministered at that moment, and so the answer to \u2018now\u2019 was \u2018no\u2019; other times the answer to \u2018needs to be said\u2019 was \u2018no\u2019. Once or twice someone else has indeed ministered along similar lines to what had arisen in me. Sometimes, on arriving back home, I have sat down and added to my collection of written \u2018unspoken ministries\u2019.<\/p>\n
