We have a theology of power that affirms the present day ministry of Jesus through spiritual gifts given to the church to win the lost, heal the sick, care for the poor, cast out demons, and disciple as we live according to the fruit of the Spirit. We also have a theology of pain knowing that the kingdom will be consummated only at the return of Christ. We teach how to suffer in Christ's name but never to befriend our sickness. Our call is to participate with Jesus in destroying the works of the devil (1 John 3:8) and, like Jesus, our desire is to do what the Father is doing (John 5:19) at any given time.
