Subject: r armor-bearers n use today? |
Bible Note: Hi Damondash, When you heard that minister say he was going to make a follower an armor bearer, he was more than likely referring to spiritually. A spiritual armor bearer covers the person in prayer and helps them in the ministry. I know many traveling ministers who use spiritual armor bearers. The armor bearer travels with them and helps them with what ever is needed for the minister to discharge his duties, including (but not limited to) prayer cover before and during meetings, resource table sales, carrying luggage and ministry materials, making travel arrangements, and being a confidant. Armor bearers today can be referred to as assistants. Most ministers need assistants. Sometimes the person who fills that role is the spouse, other times it is a trusted friend or follower of the same gender as the minister. In this sense, Jesus had armor bearers or assistants. The disciples filled this role, especially Peter, James and John. They helped with different aspects of Jesus' ministry. One example is preparing the upper room for passover. Hope this helps, Bows44 |
