Worship is like a bridge into the Spiritual realm. It takes us into God's presence and to become aware of His presence is part of worship. We need to flow under the direction of the Holy Spirit because he has new things for us in every service.

— John Eckhardt (b. 1957), Prediger, Autor und Kirchenleiter

John Eckhardt

John Eckhardt (* 1957) ist ein US-amerikanischer Prediger, Autor und Gemeindegründer aus Chicago, der in der pfingstlich-charismatischen Bewegung wirkt. Bekannt wurde er vor allem durch Gebetshandbücher zur geistlichen Kampfführung, seinen Befreiungsdienst sowie seinen Einsatz für neuapostolische Leitungsstrukturen. Während seine schriftbasierten Gebetstexte vielen Lesern als alltagstaugliche Glaubensimpulse dienen, stehen seine Lehren zur Dämonenaustreibung bei Christen sowie Aspekte des Wohlstandsevangeliums in der Kritik.

I rejected the church for a time because I found so little grace there. I returned because I found grace nowhere else.

There is no perfect church. And besides, dear friend, if you ever found a perfect church, it would refuse to take you in. For as soon as it had taken you in, it would cease to be perfect. So your search is entirely useless.

Charles Haddon Spurgeon

In a congregation, every person must be able to be as their heart truly is.
