John Wimber writes: "When warm and cold fronts collide, violence ensues: thunder and lightening rain or snow - even tornadoes or hurricanes. There is conflict, and a resulting release of power. It is disorderly, messy - difficult to control."
He further says: "Power encounters are difficult to control. This is a hard word for many Western Christians to accept, because phenomena that do not fit rational thought are uncomfortable: they plunge us into the murky world of the transrational in which we lose control of the situation. Events that do not fit our normal categories of thinking are threatening for us, causing fear, because they are unfamiliar - especially where spiritual power is involved."
