Practice The Disciplines Matthew 16:18

In addition to studying the bible, preachers ought to be regularly engaged in a life of spiritual discipline that keep the soul well fed and nurtured. The anointing comes from being in the presence of God(having a heart of God always). Spending time in prayer corporately, with a prayer partner, with your spouse and alone with just you and God. Periods of fasting accompanied by readings from devotional books as well as the bible. Listening to other preachers. If you are a preacher or Pastor preaching and teaching on a regular basis we do not realize how much we need to hear a sermon preached by someone else until we find ourselves sitting like empty pitchers before a full fountain waiting and needing to be filled.
