The Christ Effect is the first phase in the mystery of the gospels: That a worldly man could call what is unseen as though it were seen, and see it come to pass. Thereby, he would transform the world of physical limitation, activating the substance of things hoped for, calling forth the evidence of things unseen. Christ is the worldly man consumed by an ecstatic faith. If in Christ's feeling, he desires what to the worldly man seems impossible, he will make the impossible possible. He would cause his world to conform to the effect he wished to experience. This is the work of God: To believe in the one whom He sent John 6:29]. -The Voice Crying in the Wilderness
