El Espiritu de Dios estaba envuelto en todo lo que El creo; todo lo que Dios creo fue danado por la caida del ser humano; entonces, la mision de la comunidad hecha por el Espiritu tiene que ver con la restauracion de todas las cosas. Nuestro entendimiento acerca la espiritualidad ha sido negativamente influida por el dualismo griego que drasticamente separa los ministerios"espirituales" y los rninisterios "fisicos" de la iglesia. Por eso se nos dificulta integrar ambos aspectos del unico reino que Dios nos ha llamada ser testigos de, cuando nos acercamos a gente para enfrentar sus necesidades en el nombre de Cristo.
