About this ebook
The focus of this book is to bring clarity and understanding to the pastoral office and the pastoral anointing. This information will help individuals to recognize the operations of this anointing in their lives and in the lives of others. It is our hope that believers will develop a greater respect and appreciation for the pastoral office and gift. For a full examination, please see my book, “I Will Give You Pastors: Examining the Pastoral Office in the New Testament Church."
