'Preaching' is not a means of grace

'Preaching' is not a means of grace. Sorry. Unless someone is reading the pure and whole Word of God (traditional, received text) word for word preaching is not a means of grace. "But other ice cream eaters laid their hands on me!" Sorry. And all you people who are attending Reformed churches thinking you are in an environment similar to the Puritans of old you are being taken in by fools and stealth-Jesuits and vain dorks with seminary degrees.

There are three principal means of grace:

1. The Word of God (not the word of man)
2. Prayer, which is a state of being more awake and present and is an accumulating of the Holy Spirit
3. Fearing only God, which is a fasting from the world and from the devil and from one's Old Man and his demands

The last two correspond both to the two so-called 'sacraments' and to the two great commandments. To see it you have to see it spiritually. As Jesus tells you in His Word. Not the word of man.
