When we preach or teach something we aren’t living, the fact that we are preaching or teaching on that subject proves that we know how it is to be lived or resisted. And, because we aren’t living or resisting it, we bring judgment on ourselves. Ministering to others doesn’t exempt us from living what we present to them. It looks, to people, like we are righteous when we speak against various sins. But it doesn’t impress God.

It is only then that we are a channel through which the power of God can flow. When the power of God starts working in our lives, it starts working in the lives of the people we minister to. Jesus lived His life right out in front of the people. Everyone could see whether or not He lived what He said. This kind of ministry has to be real to continue to exist. This kind of ministry will go around the world and change the lives of those contacted by it. And, it will produce world-changing disciples.
