THE PROFOUND CHANGE

Profound change in others occurs out of one living the Life and not through words. The Word must be made flesh and manifested to those in darkness so that they are drawn to the Light. Preaching comes second; demonstration of Life lived comes first. A life lived is the manifestation of the Power of God.

There are many pro-fess-ers, but few poss-ess-ers in this country. The pro-fess-ers say they are , but do not. They live like darkness/worldling/earth-dwellers. What little word is in them is in their head and has no control over their heart: ie, the seat or center of their being, where motive and intent lay. Their "faith", being actually fear, is in this world and it's system of man made security provisions and not in the All Mighty Power of the Lord Jesus. They continually make provision for the flesh by trusting in this world because they are still in bondage to the fear of death (see Heb.2:14-15). They refuse to "love not their life unto death" (see Rev.12:11)

They place their trust in government, politicians,science, doctors, medicine, hospitals, courts, government school system, unions, school teachers, therapists, psychologists, psychiatrists, advisors, and how-to-books. They are like the celebrities who have a retinue of flunkies catering to their every whim, except theirs are in their phone book and their mind. Everything that happens to them is someone else's fault. They profess that they know Him, but live their lives as though this seen world is all there is. They have the name of Jesus on their lips, but their lives have no proof of His existence.

You can memorize and quote scripture at the drop of a hat and know all the various "doctrines of the faith", but if you are not living it daily you are deceiving yourself and living a lie.

Like Jesus, we must be the Word made flesh. The Word is not words on paper enclosed with a binding called the bible. It does no good to say "the word of God says this or that", because if your life doesn't line up with that, you may as well keep your mouth shut. Even a fool, if he keeps his mouth shut is considered wise.

The Word is a LIVING THING not words on a page used to convince others in debates. That's pharisee stuff. The essence of christianity is not in word, but in LIFE AND TRUTH.
