HeartCheckTuesday: What to do after an Impartation
Have you ever wondered why many people receive powerful impartation, but years or sometimes even months later, it looks like they did not receive anything?
There is a tendency to feel you have gotten it after receiving an impartation, and you have gotten it in a sense, but impartations are not an end in themselves but a means to an end.
The word impartation is gotten from the verb impart, which in the Greek is metadidomi and it means “to give over that is share [as a gift]”.
An impartation is the sharing of a gift or gifts and like all spiritual gifts, mastery and walking in the reality of that which was received, comes with training by the spirit and usage over time.
An impartation is just that, it is an impartation, it can be likened to a seed, therefore, it is your responsibility to nurture what you have received until it blossoms into manifestation. If you do not nurture and tend to what you have received, it will lay dormant (and it will look like you did not receive anything), making you crave for another impartation and another until you become an impartation junkie!
The Apostle Paul knew this was a possibility, and that is why he reminded his spiritual son Timothy to: “…stir up (rekindle the embers of, fan the flame of, and keep burning) the [gracious] gift of God, [the inner fire] that is in you by means of the laying on of my hands [with those of the elders at your ordination].” (2 Timothy 1:6 AMPC).
The reason so many are frustrated and go from one impartation service to another without seeing results is because they let the gift in them go dormant.
Dear heart checker, fan to flame the embers of the impartation you have received until you see its manifestation.
Selah.
