They did not receive a lot of separate truths. They were not exchanging opinions of working for consensus. They listened and heard together. A message in meeting must be greater than the speaker's own best thinking or sharing. In waiting upon the Lord, there may be those who are called by him to speak.
Vocal ministry is a calling which carries great responsibilities.
Those who are called to speak should not do so in their own ability. At times people who are called to speak may be embarrassed and even frustrated by the call to minister. They often feel unworthy, unable, virtually incapable of answering the call. The great mystery of vocal ministry is that somehow in the midst of all these feeling, God provides the ability. The message, when given in this way, is a gift to the meeting.
