1 Cor 4:20
For the kingdom of God is not a matter of talk but of power.

The Word is used to give us faith. The Word encourages us, teaches us, corrects us, and energizes us. Yet, words are not enough.

We can say things anyway we want, but if we don’t have the Spirit of God behind us we will fail. More than any other way we open ourselves to the Spirit by reading God’s Word carefully and acting upon it. There are no shortcuts.

Pray for more openness to the Holy Spirit.
