Wimber's teaching influenced many Christians, both inside and out of
the Vineyard movement. He is well known for a strong emphasis on
"authenticity," and doing nothing for "religious effect." One of the
key foundations of his teaching was intimacy with God, rather than
religious habit and discipline. He also emphasized the idea that Church
services should be casual, informal and led by the Holy Spirit, meaning
that worship shouldn't include scripted prayers or structured liturgy.
Another characteristic is in the area of teaching, which emphasized
preaching extensively from the gospels and using Jesus as the model for
Christian believers.
Another point which Wimber emphasized strongly was signs & wonders
and the priesthood of every believer, that every Christian has the
ability to prophesy and heal the sick. While this is not a new concept,
Wimber was a key figure in the introduction of the concept that praying
for the sick (or anything else) shouldn't be saved for special healing
services, but should take place at every Church service, and out on the
streets (by every believer). As a result, many Churches have prayer
time after the sermon. (source)
