The power of God comes when our power is either exhausted or set aside.

The Western Church's basic goal is to get people into Heaven rather than to get Heaven into people.  This creates groups of people who may be ready to die, but clearly are not ready to live.

The good news is that Jesus came, died, rose again, and lives in heaven, and He is interceding for us everyday.  The good news is also that the King is here now ruling in our lives and bringing a revolution of hearts and lives that will transform neighborhoods and nations.

There is no system, program, or tool that man can fashion that will have the power to change a life.  Only the gospel has that power.  Only the presence of Christ and all his authority can set captives free and overturn injustice and evil.
