Update regarding My feelings on this Lakeland Revival

We need to discern what is of God and what is not of God. When it starts becoming Todd
Bentley, Bob Jones, Paul Cain, and now his angel, Emma or other angels then we know it is not from God. GOD SHOULD GET THE GLORY ALONE. PERIOD and AT ALL TIMES.

I had written a letter to God TV. It is obvious by the Sky scheduling here in the UK, they are not listening. I am quite sure that they are receiving letters from both sides of the issue. My family and I regularly HAD supported God TV and love Rory and Wendy…but we refuse to support this plan to put our money elsewhere. God will hold us responsible, if we choose to ignore it. This is so sad for me to have to face but it looks to me that it is not longer about God on GodTV but their “ministry”. I had watched them grow and felt like they were part of our family. It hurts. I am sure they don’t feel the same way for the many viewers. I will continue praying for them as I have in the past.

However, do to what I had experience as I watched for nearly 50 days, I believe I have an obligation to believers to give them my experience and warn others to not accept anything unless check out thoroughly what the bible says. Do not skip or reconcile a verse that might be warning you…because this is exactly what I did, in the beginning and I am asking you NOT to do the same. JESUS TELLS US NOT TO LOOK FOR SIGNS. He knew Satan knows scripture better then you or I and would use it to deceive us. WE NEED TO LOOK TOWARDS THE SIGNS OF THE TIMES OR WHAT GOD HAD PROPHESIED TO US IN HIS WORD. Also, real revival starts with repentance, weeping and rending our hearts and then He will restore everything and then pour out His spirit upon us…as written in Joel chapters 2 and 3. Question, we need to ask ourselves, did we see that in this revival?

3' You know how to interpret the appearance of the sky, but you cannot interpret the signs of the times. 4A wicked and adulterous generation looks for a miraculous sign, but none will be given it except the sign of Jonah." Jesus then left them and went away. Matthew 16 v 3-4

23At that time if anyone says to you, 'Look, here is the Christ!' or, 'There he is!' do not believe it. 24For false Christ’s and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and miracles to deceive even the elect—if that were possible. 25See, I have told you ahead of time. 26"So if anyone tells you, 'There he is, out in the desert,' do not go out; or, 'Here he is, in the inner rooms,' do not believe it. 27For as lightning that comes from the east is visible even in the west, so will be the coming of the Son of Man. 28Wherever there is a carcass, there the vultures will gather. Matthew 24 v 23-28.

Jesus gave us wisdom HERE: When something dies or is dead, the vulture feeds on things that are dead. Like hyenas, they travel in MORE THEN PAIRS OF TWO. This is a clue to the believer IN THE LAST DAYS. Jesus is warning us in advance because the deception will be so strong that we, as bible believers, can fall into believing that lie. I cannot explain what was going in my mind these last 50 days, but I can tell you…the pull was so strong that I starting to have a hard time reconciling Jesus being the healer from my bible and Todd having the POWER to heal. Yes, my logical mind and my lexicon were at war, for I kept seeing Todd having the power to heal. This is what made it dangerous FOR ME. It might not be for some but it was for me. I prayed to God and got my answer in a dream, that was posted on this site and I posted on my blog. God was basically telling me I was being led astray and I closed my eyes to the warning bells and needed to return and remove or cleanse myself…from what? For what was leading me astray for the last 50 days of watching.
Does this mean that Jesus is not healing some of these people in the revival? If you are looking for Jesus to heal you, set you free, restore your faith then Jesus is whom you will find when you go to Lakeland.

For example, when the cerebral palsy young lad got out of his wheel chair, Todd Bentley was nowhere near him. The crowd chanted Jesus. Todd heard the crowd and asked what was going on. The boy was being healed because he had believed his dream that Jesus (not Todd) spoke and said he would be healed. It was the faith of the lad that healed him. This applies to Val Thomas, the woman who was dead for 17 hours. On God TV, he claimed he gave a word of knowledge regarding people being raised from the dead. It was her family having faith that Jesus can raise her up from the dead that caused this miracle. And again, Todd was nowhere near Val Thomas when she was receiving her miracle. It was all Jesus and thank God, the Thomas family did not go to Lakeland to give their testimony instead they gave their testimony to the local news and praised JESUS for the miracle.

If you are looking for a sign then I am afraid you will get one like I did. The delusion was so powerful that it had scared me. If you are looking for Todd Bentley to heal, set you free etc…well, then you will get a disappointment after the ‘feel good show” is over.

They perish because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. 11For this reason God sends them a powerful delusion so that they will believe the lie 12and so that all will be condemned who have not believed the truth but have delighted in wickedness.
2 Thessalonians 2 v 10-12.

This leads me to what does God’s revival would look like? God TV’s Mike Bickle and Lou Engle had it right, which was Joel chapter 2 and 3. Yeah, I know Mike and Lou are somehow linked to this prophetic movement…but they have been silent on this revival. Very strange. In summary, Joel 2 instructs us to gather an assembly and that we need to repent, change our hearts, our way of life, turning away from sin, turning back to our first love, our Lord. The priests need to intercede on the people’s behalf to save our nation from destruction. What does God say if we followed his instructions on this? He would restore our land; our lives for what death and destruction had stolen from us. In the last days, for Joel predicts that we will do this…it will be then that God will pour out His spirit. Question: do we see this at the Lakeland revival? IMO, at best, this is just a great healing service not an outpouring or a revival. For one has to repent and change our ways.

Only time will tell if this revival IS THE ONE that changes our nations: I am not looking for hype. Since 5,000-10,000 people are pouring into Lakeland night after night then I expect to see: decrease in crimes, drugs, drinking, sexual purity, decrease in rebellion from our youths, respect back to authority, reversal of abortion laws…you name it. My bible states that in the last days, things will get worse not better. You just need to read the Olivet discourse or book of Revelation to see this. I will leave you with this to ponder on this piece of scripture.

5When Jesus had entered Capernaum, a centurion came to him, asking for help. 6"Lord," he said, "my servant lies at home paralysed and in terrible suffering." 7Jesus said to him, "I will go and heal him." 8The centurion replied, "Lord, I do not deserve to have you come under my roof. But just say the word, and my servant will be healed. 9For I myself am a man under authority, with soldiers under me. I tell this one, 'Go,' and he goes; and that one, 'Come,' and he comes. I say to my servant, 'Do this,' and he does it." 10When Jesus heard this, he was astonished and said to those following him, "I tell you the truth, I have not found anyone in Israel with such great faith. 11I say to you that many will come from the east and the west, and will take their places at the feast with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven. 12But the subjects of the kingdom will be thrown outside, into the darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth." 13Then Jesus said to the centurion, "Go! It will be done just as you believed it would." And his servant was healed at that very hour. Matthew 8 v 5-13

Our faith in Christ, that he can do all things is what sets us free, heals us, deliver us…etc. Although, Jesus was going to met the servant and heal him, the centurion’s great faith that Jesus only had to say the word would heal his servant Jesus just had to say the word “It will be done just as you believed it would” and his servant was healed. Question that needs to be answered is this: Why do we need to hop on a plane and “come, get some”? When all Jesus has to do is say the word and we are made whole.

God Bless, Psalms
