Proof Doesn't Come in Documentation

My books may be burnt and papers destroyed

Along with times reading I ever enjoyed.

But nothing can take the Life that’s inside

The Word not just read but a Man bled and died.

For anointed and quickened a birth will occur

And the Word living not read is the One I prefer.

For nothing else changed the death in my life

With embedded carnality, pride and strife.

Gnosis won’t do it but experience will

And though critics raise up my mind is still,

And though I have one quote while others have two

It’s a Life living inside that sees me through.

“Discern the spirits,” was Christ’s clear instruction

To avoid deception and certain destruction.

So that Still Small Voice is never replaced

By documentation that is so easily misplaced.

The proof doesn’t come in documentation

But signs and wonders and clear vindication.

The wise virgin didn’t have their papers prepared

But oil in their lamps with wicks trimmed and cleared.

"Come in and take a taste of the original manna, the kind that fell on the day of Pentecost, the Manna for the church, the Holy Ghost, the Armor, what we're fortified... Not with intellectual education, doctor's degree, but we are fortified with the baptism of the Holy Ghost to prove the Word of God is the truth."
