All over the world the Spirit is moving to bring the people of God into
a new apprehension of Christ and God’s eternal purpose concerning him.
This revelation by the Spirit comes with a revolutionizing power to the
people of God throughout the world. This revelation by the prophetic
Spirit of God never comes as a tradition handed down from the fathers,
or as a ready-made system, all set and entered into as such. Revelation
is always fresh, as though it newly dropped from heaven upon the virgin
soil of a thirsty heart.
The moving of the Spirit is creating a mighty upheaval of all
traditions and “old” things by a practical experience of the cross.

The movement of the Spirit is marked by at least these three factors:
1. Spirituality – heavenly holiness
2. Universality – a total negation of all prejudices, exclusiveness or partiality
3. The total Lordship of Jesus Christ directly operated by the sovereignty of the Holy Spirit

This is all gathered into a wonderful overpowering initial and progressive realisation of the immense significance of Christ in the eternal purpose of God, and therefore of the church as his body. Anything, among the people of God that corresponds to the results which characterised the beginning of the church, as the body of Christ, will be part of the recovering and restoring work of the Spirit of God to take us behind traditions, the set and established system, institutionalism, ecclesiasticism, commercialism, etc., to a virgin, original, fresh understanding of God’s full thought concerning his Son.

The essence of the prophetic ministry is to bring into view the full purpose of God and to restore everything to fullness in Christ.
