Changes

The word of God is alive and powerful. It is sharper than the sharpest two edged sword , cutting between soul and spirit , between joint and marrow. It exposes our innermost thoughts and desires. Nothing in all creation is hidden from God. Everything is naked and exposed before His eye's , and He is the one to whom we are accountable.
Hebrews 4: 12-13

When the word of God is spoken things happen, when people open their eyes and hearts to receive the word of God they cannot remain unchanged, because it begins to affect them - it begins to act.

A bag of flour that stays on the shelf has nothing to offer; but if it is given water (grace ) yeast ( the word ) and the fire of the oven ( the Holy Spirit ) it will be transformed into a substance that can feed and sustain life.
