The Revolution

"The church, for the most part, still acts like the slave son of Hagar, serving God under the task master of the law with no true understanding of its sonship or inheritance as the seed of promise. The revolutionary change that is coming to the church government is that we will possess that Spirit by which we call out 'Abba, Father!' The church will not be an institution of leaders and laypeople, as much as it will be a family of sons and daughters and mothers. Regulations will be washed away by heartfelt relationship. Law-focus will be replaced by faith-focus, and Jacob's striving will be replaced by Israel's ruling and reigning."

John Crowder, The New Mystics

Don't Give Up

" 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."

For the Kingdom of God is not a matter of talk, but of power
