God is not dead; he really does communicate today. He's interested in every part of your life, your home, your finances, every kind of decision - and more than just the moral issues. His eye is always on you. He wants to lead you. But you have to believe that he will indeed speak to you when you wait before him in believing prayer, with a yielded heart to do his will.

Jim Cymbala
Jim Cymbala ist ein US-amerikanischer evangelikaler Pastor und Autor, der seit 1971 die Gemeinde The Brooklyn Tabernacle in New York City leitet. Bekannt wurde er vor allem durch sein Buch „Frischer Wind, frisches Feuer“ sowie seinen Fokus auf beharrliches gemeinschaftliches Gebet und das Wirken des Heiligen Geistes. Für Bibelleser vermitteln seine Texte Impulse für eine engagierte Gebetspraxis, während konservative Theologen mitunter eine Bevorzugung subjektiver Erfahrungen gegenüber der Schriftauslegung kritisieren.
