Tasting the powers of the coming age:
"It is impossible for those who have once been enlightened, who have tasted the heavenly gift, who have shared in the Holy Spirit, who have tasted the goodness of the word of God and the powers of the coming age and who have fallen away, to be brought back to repentance. To their loss they are crucifying the Son of God all over again and subjecting him to public disgrace." (Hebrews 6:4-6)
The ability to command nature - storms that are stilled, wild animals that obey, speaking with tongues of angels, justice and victory in governing, judging like Samson of old, heard alwaya by God, working alongside angels - all these "powers of the coming age" can be tasted now - but we must forever live up to it once we receive the foretaste.
