Direct Answer Based on David Bercot’s teaching, the combination suggests God can advance the gospel powerfully without the normal human supports, and that He supplies the real “engine” of evangelism—divine power and transformed lives—when His people are faithful.

Support from Transcript:

• Bercot stresses they had “no prestige, no wealth, nothing except the truth,” yet Christianity spread “extremely rapidly.”
• He notes they used none of today’s common tools: no “revival meetings and large rallies,” no “organized missions,” and virtually no literature “other than the Scriptures themselves.”
• He says many methods “would not have worked without God’s power behind it,” quoting Jesus: “Without Me you can do nothing” and “No one can come to Me unless it has been granted…by the Father.”
• Origen: preaching is “not sufficient to reach the human heart…unless a certain power is imparted to the speaker from God.”
• Bercot highlights lifestyle transformation as evidence of divine work: people became “meeker, more spiritual, and more consistent.”
