In 1986, I had the privilege to study "The Powers" with Dr. Wink at a monastery in Indianapolis.  I can't remember which monastery, but I can remember nearly every minute of this study.  It revolutionized my way of understanding the hora'ah of Yahshua as it relates to the common people under the rule of what was, for the most part, a malevolent power bent on exploitation at any cost.  I would recommend that anyone interested in rioghtly understanding the Yahshua's Revolution to read Wink's entire "Powers" Trilogy -or if not that, the condensed version linked above at Amazon.

I am presenting copyrighted material without permission, but I am hoping that whoever owns the rights to my reading will permit this page to remain up, justy as I hope everyone who samples this chapter will buy the entire eye-opening book.

Without the information in this audio presentation, it is impossible to understand the following verses:

Mattyah 5:38 You have heard that it was said, Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth. 39 But I tell you, that you resist not the smiter; but whoever will smite you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also. 40 And to him who will go to Torah with you and take away your clothes, give your underclothes too. 41 And whoever will impress you to go one mile, go with him two.

"Perhaps we are not accustomed to thinking of the Pentagon, or the Chrysler Corporation, or the Mafia as having a spirituality, but they do," writes Walter Wink. In The Powers That Be: Theology for a New Millennium, Wink returns to the ancient view of a world filled with angels and demons, powers and principalities, and reinterprets these notions for contemporary people. Wink's book is a challenge for Christians to wake up and become dangerously different, by objecting to the Darwinian games of domination that prevail in many of our governments, corporations, and churches. The book also offers stunningly gracious comfort, by showing that we are all caught up in this game, that the game is even a part of our gift, and that as long as we live in the world, not a single one of us can be pure, but we're called, all of us, to be holy." --Michael Joseph Gross
