Who can touch the invisible part of a person's make-up?
Only God can touch the invisible part of a person's make-up. No preacher, teacher, priest, denomination, or religion can reach it. Because God is the Creator of that invisible part of us, He alone can transform it. Works religion fails because it cannot access or change that inner realm.
Les teaches that transformation is not by works, but by God's power. He uses the illustration of a dead car battery: washing the outside does nothing; you need power from an outside source. In the same way, no human effort, preacher, teacher, priest, denomination, or religion can touch the invisible part of a person's make-up. Only God can, because He created that invisible part. This is why works religion is doomed to failure. The next word in the text is Mind, pointing to the inner realm God alone can reach.
