The power of Spirit-filled preaching
The Spirit in me doth kindle a reverence in the spirit of the hearer; and if it be not in me, the spirit of the hearer will discern me not to be sent, but only to have the word of the commission, and not to have the power; for the power is the evident argument that a man is sent. Therefore,many start to teach the Word, who are not sent…and therefore the flock of God remains without edification, and the kingdom of God is not built up, because they have only the word of commission and lack the power of the Spirit that should make the Word effectual to the hearer. [Robert Bruce]

About
Nothing much to tell. I’m walking a single solitary pilgrims walk, in England, that is not an easy one. I am a Calvinistic Covenanter Christian, My Autonomic Nervous system is failing slowly, which has led to severe disability, with an ultra rare disease than medics don’t even understand, often misdiagnose.and will no doubt kill me at some point. But, I trust the Lord to get me where I’m going. All glory to HIM.
The symptomology listed on the link, most porphyrics will only have most of those symptoms if in an acute attack. A few of us, with the ongoing, smouldering symptoms, that never go away, have most if not all of the symptom list, even when not in an acute attack, and are persistent and constant. Anyone who has ever been in the psychiactric system, diagnosed as this or that, even if physically well, should consider this illness could be responsible. King George III, the most famous porphyric, his sole symptom was “insanity.” Its so rare in part, because it’s massively under-diagnosed. But in making this illness known, when it struck me physically a few years ago, God vindicated me from every mis-diagnoses and bersmirchment upon me medically that has ever been made, and has made them all null and void.

Bunyan writes to his readers in the conclusion of the first part of The Pilgrim’s Progress: Now reader, I have told my dream to thee,/ See if thou canst interpret it to me,/ Or to thyself or neighbour: but take heed/ Of misinterpreting; for that instead/ Of doing good, will but thyself abuse:/ By misinterpreting evil ensues.
