Paul assumed the key element for success in ministry is the release of the necessary gifting through the intervention of the Holy Spirit’s kinetic power.

He makes reference to this in 1 Tim. 4 when he refers to the elders laying hands on Pastor Timothy at some time prior to his letter.  There was a prophesy. Prophesies come in two forms if you are not familiar with them. They can be forth-telling, announcing or releasing of something new in someone or some place, or they can be foretelling, predictive of what will happen as God intervenes in a situation, a place, a church, as God rolls out his favor and does what only God can do. 
Sometimes prophesies are both foretelling and forth-telling simultaneously.   
Be open to people who are in touch with God’s voice. Receive prayer. Don’t despise prophetic utterances!  
Ask God for a breakthrough that you cannot read yourself into, train yourself into, strain yourself into! God and God alone can provide this equipping.
