" To fully understand the scope of power that is coming to the church in our day, it is important to consider the times in which we live. Society itself is on the verge of sweeping transformation, as we move into the postmodern era. The church is on the brink of spiritual renaissance and revolutionary structural change, to be set as the gem in the midst of a fallen world. Amid darkness and defeat at the end of the age, the church will shine like a beacon, displaying the power and the glory of God's Kingdom as she arises as the spotless Bride. The Lord's intent is to bring the 'restoration of all things' (Acts 3:21) first through His people. No matter what state the church appears to be today, no matter the depth of apathy or traditionalism, we cannot give up on her. A cornerstone of the Kingdom is God's heart for redemption and restoration."
John Crowder, The New Mystics
For the Kingdom of God is not a matter of talk, but of power
( I Cor.4:20)
