People have no argument against the raw power of God. They have a difficult time explaining these things away. They are forced to rethink their positions and come face-to-face with the truth. Apostles come, not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power.

— 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.
