i am all for christian education and teaching, i just graduated from a bible college myself.
but i think personal revelation and change from being in gods presence yourself is more important. you may have head knowlegde, you may be able to quote volumes of theology, and explain every little riddle in the bible.
but without the fire breathing, life giving, annointing of the holyspirit, your just a walking white washed sepulcher. you may know alot, but youll still be no good to anyone becuase you dont have any life down in you, so you dont have anything real to give. people need more than teaching or theology changes, or even motivational speeches, or even teen centered events.
you must have something living breathing down inside you, you must have the annointing. what is the anointing?
well, as many great men have said, we really dont know what it is, we just see the effects of it.
it causes men to rave that they have fire in their bones and change them from meek puppies to raging flames that look death in the face and spit!
it is what enables men to raise the dead, to cast out cancer, to look at the sun and command it not to move and it must obey!
i dont really know how to describe it, or tell what it is.
but it is the raw power of god, if a man encounters it he is filled with fire.
a fire that burns him so that he wont stop untill he sees the world changed.
a fire that burns ever attack of the enemy and nothing can touch him.
a fire that lights up the night, and spreads knowledge and hope to those in dark places.
again, im trying to describe it, but i cant, if youve ever felt it, it will bring tears to your eyes and passion to your soul, its the most beautiful thing ever. the white hot fire of the lord.
though i can say this, youll never be truely effective, untill you receive the power jesus promised us would come after he left. the holyspirit, he is the life scource of this anointing, he is where it comes from.
you must attain him, and it.
and this only comes through immersing yourself in the word of god, long hours of prayer and seeking the lord with all your heart, and fasting.
colleges are fine, but some of the greatest men to ever walk the earth for god, where not educated men. but men who were changed by the anointing, and filled with the power of god, gods potentail not theres. and then there is no limit.
pray about it, god may send you to a college.
but know that colleges dont change the world, men of god do, and those are only found in the remains of a man who has given himself up, and been changed through countless hours in the presence of god.
