An Article by Derek Prince on Deception

http://www.revivalschool.com/dprince.html

This is some of the things Derek Prince says:

He says that revival does not bring confusion which leads to division which seems to be happening in the Florida Revival.

First of all, all those men majored on the strong preaching of God's Word. They hardly did anything until they had preached the Word of God, or apart from the preaching of the Word of God. Finney, himself, commented somewhere about his ministry,

Second difference: All those men made a strong call for repentance. That was their primary demand on the people to whom they ministered. Some people call what we are seeing today "a refreshing," but in Acts 3:19 Peter says that refreshing must be preceded by repentance. Any refreshing that bypasses repentance is not scriptural.

The third difference is that in the ministry of those men, there is no record as far as I know that any of them laid hands on people. I am not saying that it is unscriptural to lay hands on people, but there is a difference. There is a situation in which people receive directly for themselves from the preached Word and another situation in which people have hands laid on them by others.

Some of these unusual manifestations have been compared with unusual manifestations that accompanied the ministry of John Wesley, George Whitefield, Jonathan Edwards and Charles Finney. The difference is they always preached a strong word of repentance.

A very helpful article by Derek Prince ...
Thank you so very much for posting the link!

I am not sure about that..

So many are not even open to the Word of God.. preaching.. but they are needy to be healed.. God is showing His love by healing the sick.. so that others can be opened to His love and mercy..

The main preacher of that revival is under major attack right now.. satan hates those who stand against him.. it would be better to pray and lift them up to the LORD then wonder why what happened happened..

I am so glad that the LORD did not come to condemn but to save us...

The thrust of any revival is bringing people to Abba Father and to know His love and the miracles are a byproduct when we get right with him. Read Deut 28 on blessings and curses.

I haven't had time to read the article, but repentance does bring revival.

I will say, however, that during these last days, there will be a worldwide revival that the world has never seen until now. Unfortunately, there will also be a false revival, laden with great deception as in the days of Jeremiah. I would encourage all of us to read the Book of Jeremiah, because a lot of what happened then is happening today, and it'll get even worse.

Yep, Revival brings us to repentance!

Be blessed in Jesus' Name.
