In the work of the cross you can only transfer to others what the work of the cross has done in you. The cross imparts life. If you have knowledge, you will only impart knowledge. If you have intellect, you impart intellect, which cannot give life. But if you have life, you impart life. However, the paradox is that death must first work in you before life can come out of you into others. It is a hard lesson to learn. But one must learn it if you are going to be used by God to heal the nations. The diagnosis of mental illness is the cloak of darkness that I wear, which is my mantle of death.
