I guess you could say I'm in part time ministry as I lead a Bible Study, sometimes give a message in church, and am active in several other ways. Not only preaching/teaching, but writing, and doing volunteer work, all of which I'm thankful to the LORD for the opportunities and give Him all credit.
That said, I notice in many ministries a lack of fire, and the LORD wants to bring back that fire, and that thunder that was instrumental in revivals and many true conversions during the awakenings at various times.
"Is not my word like as a fire? saith the Lord; and like a hammer that breaketh the rock in pieces?" - Jeremiah 23:29
The Word must be preached with PASSION, and the unction & anointing of the Holy Spirit, not the dead letter. We must earnestly contend for the faith once delivered unto the saints, standing up for the True Gospel, and proclaiming Salvation through the blood of Jesus Christ and His Cross, by grace through faith, and repentance, of which if there is no repentance, there is no fruit, and therefore one is still LOST!
It's time to cut out all the silly little things that have been adopted and adapted into the church, that have detracted from the faith of many: all the little things of the world, and the glittery stuff of Laodicea especially, and the pride, and pomp, that goeth before destruction, the haughty Spirit before a fall, and turn to God in prayer on our knees and on our faces, confessing our sins, and confessing the sins of the Church - YES, the church, which often has forsaken the way of Christ for a way that does not profit spiritually, and does not save the soul, in many a case.
The ministry needs to stop watering down their messages, using corrupted Bibles that sound like mush, using feel good messages that tickle itching ears, and promoting a Gospel of compromise with the world. Awaken those who are sleeping, seek the LORD while He may be found: Almighty God shall shake up His church, and move within it, as in all the 7 churches of Revelation, who were warned but a two of them, and were cautioned to hold on to the things that were of God, and to repent of the wicked things that were not.
"See that ye refuse not him that speaketh. For if they escaped not who refused him that spake on earth, much more shall not we escape, if we turn away from him that speaketh from heaven:
Whose voice then shook the earth: but now he hath promised, saying, Yet once more I shake not the earth only, but also heaven.
And this word, Yet once more, signifieth the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that are made, that those things which cannot be shaken may remain.
Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear:
For our God is a consuming fire." - Hebrews 12:25-29
