| Transforming Power Statements:
#1) Due to the many accurate predictions of the Older Testament and their specificity, it is a miracle that God was doing everything He promised right on schedule with no respect to the resistances of men, both Jew and Gentile as well as the spiritual backlash from the devil and his hosts who were working hard to cause God not to be true.
#2) Because of the perfection stated in the Older Testament it is impossible for Messiah not to have come at that perfect time, otherwise God would not be true, so we appeal to all men Jew and Gentile alike to study the prophecies and pray that God will reveal His Word and impart faith to them so that salvation can be produced in them by faith in Messiah and the promises of God the Father to send His Son!
#3) No matter what we do there is no personal power nor intelligence that we possess to cause the conversion of a single soul, but the power of God is in the gospel itself, so we just preach it and offer prayers on behalf of the lost that God the Holy Spirit will provide the faith He requires so that others can be saved.
