CCR has been long blessed by the charism of prophecy, with many members receiving words and pictures from the Holy Spirit to edify, exhort and comfort individuals and groups. This is in response to the words of St Paul:

The spokes connect the rim and hub in a wheel structure. The wagon load transfers through the axle to the hub, then through the spokes to the rim to the ground, all holding together in structural unity. The wheel starts moving and the wagon moves on. Separated wheel components mean that the load in the wagon is not moved its stationary
