"I think it would change lives if people saw how much God really loves them." (Broken Arrow, Oklahoma)—Brenda Copeland is a sculptor who, since having a vivid dream about Jesus' last moments on the Cross, has spent sixteen years capturing His agony in stone. Housed for now in a storage shed, the statue is inspiring all those who go to see it. (Photo: KTUL News)
Copeland was quoted as saying in her dream Jesus "yelled out Eli, Eli, and then I would wake up. So I didn't see him die." Added Copeland, "I think it would change lives if people saw how much God really loves them."
Although Copeland is not a Catholic, Bishop Edward Slattery of Tulsa, who received a private viewing, was asked if—like Gibson's The Passion of the Christ—the pain depicted in the statue of Jesus was too much to bear.
"It would be ugly if He didn't come back from the dead," Slattery said. "But, see He did."
"Even though He's in pain, to me there's a gentleness and a love in His eyes," said Brenda. "He has experienced the loneliness, the rejection of the very ones He is saving. And this all comes out in the face. That He is simply alone, and dying, and unappreciated."

Reports of Revival Breaking Out in Lakeland, Florida
by Teresa Neumann - BCN Exclusive : Apr 11, 2008 : FreshFire Ministries, Ignited Church http://www.freshfire.ca/
Word has spread so fast of the many salvations…and healings and deliverances from drugs, etc., that nearly 200 pastors and leaders of other ministries have come to be a part of what is happening there.
(Lakeland, Florida)—Sporting tattoos, spiked hair and a sold-out to Christ, "I am who God made me to be" attitude, Canadian Todd Bentley, founder of FreshFire Ministries, is a young, highly provocative evangelist, who has long invited the presence of God to accompany him as he ministers around the world.
While the Holy Spirit regularly "shows up" in his meetings—performing healings, sometimes miracles, and almost always dramatic salvations—there seem to be appointed times where a spiritual breakout occurs on the scale one could call an actual revival. His current series of meetings in Lakeland, Florida, appear to be heading in that direction.
According to reports out of Ignited Church in Lakeland, since Bentley began his Healing Meetings there several weeks ago, the town has erupted with revivalistic manifestations; the unsaved are being drawn to the meetings inexplicably, the lost are getting saved in growing numbers, repentance is breaking out among those bound by sin, healings are increasing, people are wanting to get baptized, etc.
I spoke with Bentley over the telephone about the meetings and asked him how it was that the initial conference at Ignited Church, scheduled to last only five days, has now turned into extended meetings. Todd replied that weeks ago, while he was doing some healing meetings in Australia, a man from New Zealand called him saying he had "seen" the tent peg of the Lord's being driven into the soil of Florida and that somehow he felt God was going to use Todd to facilitate that.
Bentley remembered the man's word, but didn't think anything of it until the second night of the Lakeland meetings when he said he saw an angel he described as carrying the "Winds of Change."
Asking him to describe this angel, Bentley replied that those familiar with the life of William Branham would recognize the angel from being a relevant factor in his healing ministry. He felt that this angel's appearance signaled a "shift in the atmosphere" for the meetings and felt that an openness for revival had been ushered in.
When asked for specifics, Bentley said an "awesome, heavy, somber and weighty" presence of God has descended on the Church. People are going out into the streets and marketplace boldly sharing the Gospel with strangers. Word has spread so fast of the many salvations (one woman who had requested prayer for healing changed her mind when convicted by the Holy Spirit and cried out that she wanted to repent and get saved first) and healings and deliverances from drugs, etc., that nearly 200 pastors and leaders of other ministries have come to be a part of what is happening there.
Anyone curious about revival news and open to observing Todd Bentley's unique style of ministry can log on to Bentley's website at FreshFire to view the meetings being taped live daily at 7:00 EST and 4:00 PST. GodTV will reportedly be covering the meetings next week.
There is also a continuous chat room, made up of internet users from around the world who have logged on to watch the revival meetings. To access the chat and live stream, CLICK HERE.

Had an awesome time at work last night, not so much the work.
I had a friend working with me who had a bad back, he has been on restrictions for it for years.
We started talking and I brought up healing, he asked me to pray for him and Jesus healed his back instantly.
Was great seeing his reaction and knowing Jesus had done it.
Wow praise God.. that is wonderful!! Thanks for sharing Whatfor!!

We praise and thank you Jesus for what you are doing in your people,
We thank you that you are raising an army of your people,
Who are not afraid to stand up and be counted for your name's sake,
And they will move through their lands their nations to take.
A people who will move in full Holy Spirit power,
Radical believers who will rise to the challenge of this hour,
And they will see many captives set free in you,
As they take the good news to the lost about you.
And as the fire of God consumes them heralding in a new day,
Onlookers will see the evidence of a new and better way,
For we will move in signs and wonders like never before,
As the people of God get hungry and thirsty for more.
Now the heavens are opening as we come seeking our Saviour,
And the glory of the Lord is descending down on our nations,
And we will see many healed and coming to salvation,
As they receive love, grace and mercy poured out from our dear Saviour.
For it is Jesus Christ our Lord and Saviour who releases Kingdom power,
And He has been preparing the hearts of His people for this hour,
It is He who births in us the desire to see revival,
And he is humbling us now so we might give Him our all.
