Righteousness, Peace, Joy October 19, 1969 Deals with the how and why of getting the ‘weeds’ out of our lives. SNT – 422 Jer 4:3; Gen 6:5 Rom 1:18-27; 14:17; 4:25; 3:20-24; 5:9, 11, 19; 6:13; 1Co 1:29, 30; Rom 5:1 Rom 5:1; 1Co 1:3; Eph 2:14,15; (Gal 5:22); Eph 4:2, 3; Phi 4:7 Heb 12:1, 2; 1Th 1:6; 1Jo 1:4 snt-0422_righteousness-peace-joy(vpw) There's been a problem that has bothered me through the years. It keeps coming up in my ministry and my life, and tonight I thought we'd dig the Word to get the answer. And I'll tell you plainly what the problem is and then we'll go to it. You take somebody and you teach them the greatness of God’s Word, like in the [film 00:00:18] class, like in the Power For Abundant Living classes where our people teach or I teach. And it looks like, you take them out of their environment, out of the cesspools of sin and iniquity in which they've been engrossed in their unbelief, and in two weeks time you completely changed their lives. Some of them you lead into the new birth, but about all of them you lead into the manifestation of the fullness of the Holy Spirit. And they get real turned on, as the young people call it. And they really move out with this thing for about two or three months, and then they sort of turn cold. Or some stay a year and then they turn cold. And it has bothered me through the years. Why is it when you teach people the greatness of God’s Word, that they could ever be satisfied to go back to the shallowness of that which they had before? But apparently this is not too difficult because we've seen it happen hundreds and hundreds of times. And one of the reasons I believe this is true is what I'd like to dig in the Word tonight. We perhaps will not cover all of it, but I'm thinking of doing a booklet along this line if I ever get around to it. And trying to show people that if you're going to really live this life, you've got to stay put on it moment by moment. I was looking at that song. We sing it, I Don't Know Who

By means of Dr. Wierwille's dynamic teaching of the accuracy and integrity of God's Word, foundational class and advanced class graduates of Power for Abundant Living have learned that the one great requirement for every student of the Bible is to rightly divide the Word of Truth. Thus, his presentation of the Word of God was designed for students who desire the in-depth-accuracy of God’s Word.
