<i>The Scripture is clear when it says,  For the Kingdom of God is not in Word , but in Power (the same Word `dunamis` as in 2 Timothy 3:5 - Having a form of Godliness , but denying the Power thereof: from such turn away. )  ( 1 Corinthians 4:20 - For the Kingdom of God is not in Word , but in Power .). 
<p>
In the previous verse, ( 1 Corinthians 4:19 -  But I will come to you shortly, if the Lord will, and will Know , not the speech of them which are puffed up, but the Power .) the Apostle Paul said to the people, ~I want to Know your Power , not your Words .~  
<p>
But what do we see again and again, today, in the name of Christianity   Words , Words , Words ! And educated Words at that! 
<p>
But what has it produced (generally speaking) in the Kingdom of God - A weak, powerless generation of cautious and passive Christian Believers ,  who still live in Bondage , yet, at the same time, are arrogant with it. Blame shifters!  It s not my fault! It s my parents, the Devil , the Church , I was born that way  - and so it goes on. The result is always  powerlessness ! 
<p>
We need to seriously ask ourselves:  Is there true Spiritual Power in my Life?  And, if not, then why not? What are we going to do about it?</i>
