True Christianity is the true Word of God, verified by the true power of God. Jesus went about to 'do and teach' (Acts 1:1). He usually performed miracles before He taught. He knew that people who have an undeniable encounter with God are going to be far more open to what He had to say to them. The power Jesus and His apostles demonstrated was used to confirm and illuminate their teachings. The same is still true. The demonstration of God's power transforms intellectual concepts into a true faith in the teachings off the Lord. It takes both the Word and the power of God to change the inner person. Without both, we may change our outward behavior but our hearts remain untouched. It is the spiritual void in the heart that must be filled by a true fellowship with God if we are going to be free from the spiritual influence and power of the enemy.
