From what I can see, it is a growing movement (largely among charismatics at the moment) focused on individual believers making an impact on the surrounding society for Christ, beyond just "get more people to come to church".
God often moves populations to set the stage for various phases of his Divine Plan. This appears to be one of those moves.
I have no doubt that the snakes and snake-oil salesmen are greedily latching on to the movement, to attempt to derail and sidetrack it into impotence (just like they did with the original charismatic movement, and as they have largely done to the Pentecostal movement), but that is ultimately irrelevant to what God is doing in multiple arenas at this time.
The sad thing is, while there are many others "out there" actively seeking the will of God for their lives, actively seeking to make an impact on their generation for the Lord, too many of "us" are busy arguing about hair, hemlines, and rapture systems.
There have been some voices in the oneness pentecostal movement over the past several decades warning that if we don't get our act together God will bypass "our movement" and find another people who will be willing in the day of the Lord's power.
