I've been thinking about how, in some theologies at least, the Spirit was and is at work in bringing about greater equality and justice for the enslaved, those exploited by class or gender ... is there not an element of 'the voice of the people is the voice of God'? This would derive from considering God's Spirit is at work. If so, sometimes the signs would be seen among people movements and demands for change resting on a degree of subliminal awareness of God's justice and love for creation.
I'm also thinking that the Spirit may be in the (collective) aspiration. But sometimes the devil is in the detail ... -and that points up a discernment issue for Christians. Check out the article

-again, it seems, the pursuit of mammon gets in the way of the common good. And people understand that. #MissioDei #Christian #Spirit

"...the secret to effective evangelism. It is the proven — actually, tangibly proven — method to be an effective soul-winner. It is the one quick tip for powerful evangelism, the one actionable strategy for rapid church growth, and the one secret ingredient for successful church planting. Dedicate your ministry to justice for the oppressed and liberation for the enslaved, stand with them no matter what and keep at it until The Powers That Be burn your church down and want you dead.
Is Knibb’s approach a ready-made model for evangelism, revival and church growth? Could it be replicated with similar fantastic results in other times and other places? I think so.
But it’s hard to say, because so very few churches and would-be evangelists are interested in trying it."
