So... what if actual Divine powers began manifesting among religious professionals? Let's say that after the year 2 000, people began having their prayers answered in more literal fashion.
Among Christians this could be explained as the world entering the Seventh Day (one day is a thousand years, and the world was created 4 000 BC.) So the six days of creation are now over, and we are entering the Lord's Day. I'm sure someone sufficiently versed in Islamic lore can cook up some similar goobledy**** to explain things. Of course, it doesn't have to be true.
What effects would this have on the churches and realms of Yrth?

In Christian mythology, major miraculous powers are almost never manifested by members of the church bureaucracy. ("Major" meaning more than True Faith.). Instead they show up in holy hermits, cloistered monastics, self-appointed prophets, and a few particularly virtuous knights.
