This deepest mystery of the kingdom of God is what concerns us, the way it is revealed in the heart of the believer and in the soul of the loving disciple of Jesus in following him, and the way it is revealed in the church in her complete community and in the persecution she has to suffer, and further, the way the whole earth, which more and more falls a prey to the sovereignty of Satan, must be conquered by God so that the future of the harvest will come.

- Eberhard ArnoldWe experience that unity is at the same time agreement with the apostolic testimony of the New Testament, and agreement with the testimony of the future of the kingdom of God. Thus we experience unity not simply in the small circle of our community life, but as a unity that embraces all millennia; the spirit of inspired men and prophets; perfect unity with all original movements that were a spiritual uprising, with all movements, which sprang from the source, borne by the Holy Spirit and led by the inner light. We can testify that we have experienced that we become completely unanimous, when in the quiet hour the Spirit gives witness, and the light of Christ bursts into flame in our hearts, when in this silent concentrated attention the voice of Jesus speaks within us.

Yesterday's quote
October 15,2025
The church must be gathered from the masses of the poorest and most oppressed people, for Jesus stands on the side of those who are deprived of their rights, despised, degraded and oppressed. Here the call for gathering will find a response in the greatest number of people, who are really ready to be directed decisively towards the future of the kingdom of God. It is just the poorest and most underprivileged people who will welcome the spontaneity and unconditional character of the miracle of Pentecost with the greatest trust and joy.

The task of healing the sick and the purification of the body is the beginning. The raising of the dead and the driving out of demons is the peak of this authority. Here we must become silent because we have not received this authority in our age. We have not yet raised up bodies that were laid in the coffin or in the grave. But the apostleship of Jesus and his authority extend as far as this. If we look away from ourselves we must say, “The whole reality of the coming kingdom of God is given in apostleship.”
