It is frightening and depressing when religion is misused to enslave and to rob the soul of its every freedom. How often does this happen! Nearly always and everywhere. It is the same with love. The noblest, purest and most divine becomes the lowest and meanest and most perishable, through the demonic powers that are released when this one area becomes a law to itself. God is freedom, deliverance from all slavery. We remain true to this watchword. It becomes ever clearer to me that all unfreedom is of the devil.

- Eberhard ArnoldThe task of healing the sick and the purification of the body is the beginning. The raising of the dead and the driving out of demons is the peak of this authority. Here we must become silent because we have not received this authority in our age. We have not yet raised up bodies that were laid in the coffin or in the grave. But the apostleship of Jesus and his authority extend as far as this. If we look away from ourselves we must say, “The whole reality of the coming kingdom of God is given in apostleship.”

The fact that we experience something is not what matters; whom and what we experience is alone decisive. Who God is and what He wills and does should become so great and exclusive that through it we forget the experience itself, that is, ourselves and our experience, and lose sight of it completely. The greatest experience completely reveals our own insignificance.

The light shines on every human being that comes to this world. But only he who accepts it completely, and only as long as he accepts it completely, will receive power, strength and tasks.
