Appears 3 times in Scripture

Romans 15:27

They were pleased to do it, and indeed they owe it to them. For if the Gentiles have shared in their spiritual blessings, they are obligated to minister to them with material blessings.

Acts 13:2

While they were worshiping the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, “Set apart for Me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them.”

Hebrews 10:11

Day after day every priest stands to minister and to offer again and again the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins.

When leitourgéō is spoken over you

Words like this one get spoken over people: in a prayer line, in a message from a friend, in a moment nobody planned. The lexicon gives you what leitourgéō means. What God is saying to you through it is yours to record and weigh.

Doxa is where you record what was said, in the words it was said in, weigh it against verses like Romans 15:27 with people you trust, and return to it in a year to see what came of it.

Doxa, Engage God's Encouragement
