Jesus...Vocabulary...Change?

Has Jesus changed His vocabulary? Is that possible?

As Christians we are supposed to have Christ living in us, speaking through us. So does our vocabulary match what we see Him using in the Bible?

Approximate # of time these words appear in the KJV Bible. (and to dismiss the complaints now, I used the KJV because those numbers are the easiest to access.)

LORD- 7,946
GOD- 4,444
JESUS- 983
LOVE- 551
ANOINTED- 98 - Do an interesting word study, study all words with the root anoint, after the age of the prophets, priests, and kings.
ANOINTING- 28
REVIVE- 8
REVIVAL- 0

In no way am I saying that the words on the bottom are wrong and should never be used. I do question looking at many main stream ministries and listening to brothers and sisters who are learning from these teachers, it would appear that Jesus has changed His vocab. Is that possible? Hebrews 13:8?

If His passions and vocab were going to change, why didn't He give us the appropriate "new" vocab, before He completed His word?
