But you are not like that, for you are a chosen people. You are royal priests, a holy nation, God’s very own possession. As a result, you can show others the goodness of God, for He called you out of the darkness into His wonderful light. (1 Peter 2:9 NLT)
The paradigm for church in our day has been much influenced by the big crusade and television ministries of the last several decades. The emphasis is often on an individual, or a small group of individuals, who have the platform and the microphone. The New Testament descriptions of the manifestation of the Spirit seem to point to His desire to use a broader mix of Body parts in the regular flow. I believe in this last hour we are going to see a revival of supernatural power through the entire Church, and not just a special preforming class. It’s an “us” thing, not a “me” thing.
