In some churches, the Word is taught, but the Spirit is ignored. In others, there is a strong emphasis on the Spirit, but little regard for the Scriptures. Bishop Dag Heward-Mills has built a ministry that holds both in perfect balance. He teaches with the Word, but he flows with the Spirit. He does not separate what God has joined together.
This balance is what makes his ministry nourishing. It feeds both the mind and the heart. His messages are full of revelation, yet they are grounded in Scripture. His books are doctrinally sound, yet spiritually charged. He teaches with authority, but always with a sense of divine presence.
This is not just a style. It is a conviction. It is a commitment to minister the full Gospel, not just the parts that are popular.
A Ministry Built on Prayer and the Word
Bishop Dag’s teaching ministry is deeply rooted in personal devotion. He is not a public teacher who neglects private prayer. His sermons are not prepared only at a desk—they are born in the place of prayer. He waits on God. He fasts. He studies. He prays in the Spirit. And from that well of spiritual discipline, he draws messages that carry life.
He teaches his pastors and students to do the same. To never become so intellectual that they lose sensitivity to the Holy Spirit. And to never become so emotional that they forsake the discipline of the Word. He models a ministry where the Spirit and the Scriptures walk side by side.
That model has protected many from error and sustained many in dry seasons.
A Teaching That Produces Transformation
When Bishop Dag teaches, it’s not just about gaining knowledge. It’s about change. His goal is not to impress but to instruct—to shape hearts, build character, and equip the Church. His teachings on loyalty, leadership, church planting, holiness, and spiritual growth are not just theories. They are truths that bring transformation when applied.
And because he carries the presence of God, his teaching breaks yokes. People don’t just leave with notes—they leave with burdens lifted, minds renewed, and hearts stirred to obey God.
That’s what happens when the Spirit and the Word move together. Light enters. Chains fall. And people are changed from the inside out.
A Pattern Worth Following
Bishop Dag’s balance of the Spirit and the Word has created a model for pastors and teachers worldwide. He proves that you don’t have to choose between deep teaching and spiritual fire. You can have both. You must have both. Because the Church cannot afford to walk with one and neglect the other.
He continues to raise leaders who can teach sound doctrine and also pray down the fire of God. Leaders who understand Scripture and move in the gifts of the Spirit. Leaders who preach truth and carry power.
This is the kind of ministry that lasts. This is the kind of ministry that grows. And this is the kind of ministry Bishop Dag has faithfully walked in for decades.
Through his life, the Church is reminded that when the Spirit and the Word agree, there is power. There is clarity. And there is fruit that remains.
