How do you know when you are called to be a minister?

Dr. Joan Boney, Jesus Ministries ...

It is not just a desire that shows us we are to be a minister to the church.  We must be called and ordained by Jesus.  

Ephesians 4:8:11-12   Wherefore HE saith, When HE ascended up on high, HE led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men ... And HE gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;   For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:

And when Jesus puts a person into these ministry offices of apostle, prophet, evangelist, pastor, teacher, Jesus gives that minister the spiritual gifts to use in that specific office and the church recognizes "the hand of God" is upon that person when that person presents the spiritual gifts given to him by God.

Only Jesus can give those spiritual gifts.

Many come saying they are ministers but they do not show the gifts from God.  They just speak to us great swelling words which mean nothing.

Those ministers of God have an anointing by God and there is power of God in that anointing to cause us to move in the direction of the will of God in our lives on this earth.
