Three keys to Effective Preaching and teaching. . .
1. Much quality time alone in silence meditating and listening for the Lord's voice for a message from Him (not just a sermon).
2. Prayerful study of God's Word. . .the Bible.
3. Prayer for the Holy Spirit's anointing and unction to minister to all who hear the message from God - all the glory to Him.
