The power of heaven, as the authority of the Holy Spirit, is at work in a church of the new creation. It lives in her as a promise of the sunny days to come over an earth growing cold. In the midst of an aging world, the church, impregnated with eternity and filled with the future, gains strength for God and his kingdom through the Spirit. The church receives eternal and infinite majesty as a first beam of light from the future. Going forth from the throne of God’s rule, the Lord of light fills the church eternally.

This is generally overlooked. You will not be going the way of discipleship until you do for everybody all that you ask from God for yourself, that is, absolute social justice and the peaceable atmosphere of God’s Kingdom. We are envoys of the coming Kingdom of God; we serve only one law, the law of His Spirit.

The purpose of our gathering for prayer is to call upon God to come to us and implore his Spirit to come down, to call Christ into our midst, not only for ourselves, but for the great events in the wide world. The reason we live in community is so that we may come before God with the power to pray and so that thereby world history may take a decisive turn, through the return of Christ, right through the end-time.

In the authority of the Holy Spirit, the whole church is of one heart and one mind. She is united in faith and common expectation for God’s whole universe. Her unfeigned love and boundless faith long to put everything to the service of God. She wants to summon all the nations of the world to partake in God’s kingdom.
