Ministry Report from Lakeland, Florida:

Below is a ministry report written by Linda Dodson, a church member of Albany Vineyard Christian Fellowship in Albany, Oregon. Linda is attending the revival meetings in Lakeland, Florida and sent us the following report of what happened on Monday, April 21, 2008:

Greetings from sunny Florida! The glory of God is growing. There is a tangible presence all over town. Are you feeling "the wind" of the Spirit blowing where you are? The "winds of change" angel appeared to Todd Bentley in Florida, and simultaneously to Bob Jones. I have some encouraging news for all of you, which come from the prophets who released it on Monday night at Ignited Church in Lakeland, Florida. Bob Jones gave Todd Bentley the "green light" to release every bit of this prophetic word. I took notes quickly, so I may have missed a few details, but in general, you are surely to be blessed by this word.

Todd Bentley called Bob Jones an elder prophet and talked with him for about an hour about the "Florida outpouring" here in Lakeland. Here are notes about their phone conversation:

On New Year's Eve, for 2008, God told Bob Jones that "the third wave was coming." Todd asked Bob what the third wave was. He said that Toronto was wave #1, Pensacola was wave #2, and the third wave is the "Winds of Change"--this move of God. This move will be a global move, traveling with signs and wonders all over the world! The third wave is here!

As a sign that this wave would be released from the Northwest, Bob shared that God said in the natural world, there would be extreme "winds and storms" out of Canada and the Northwest this year. (We had these storms in the Northwest this past winter and winds even now!) These natural winds would be followed by the winds of change. There would then be a move of the Holy Ghost, where entire towns would be shut down by the power of the Spirit. Revival will come as a Northwest wind.

It was also mentioned to "set up your sail"--the "Winds of Change" are blowing! There are 12 places specifically mentioned where revival will hit first (listed in the order mentioned):

Des Moines, Iowa; Omaha and Lincoln, Nebraska; Kansas City, Missouri; Denver, Colorado; Nashville, Tennessee; Lakeland, Florida; Ohio; Charlotte, North Carolina; Albany, Oregon; Washington; and Redding, California. Of course, I did quite a bit of shouting when Todd named "Albany, Oregon." We have known for some time that Revival was on the way to Albany, and yet when I heard it declared by the prophets, it was a glorious moment. So for Albany and Oregonians, rejoice and get your hearts ready! Also mentioned were countries where it is moving first--England, Australia and New Zealand.

June 22 to July 22 will be a significant time in the spirit. (Todd didn't elaborate on this period.) This Revival will NOT be stopped.

There are several "clarion trumpets" (people God uses to deliver His word) and John Kilpatrick, former pastor of the Brownsville Assembly of God Church, where the Pensacola Revival took place, "probably has one of the clearest trumpets." Todd wanted to honor John Kilpatrick by naming him as Bob had spoken.

The third wave has begun! This wave promotes, prepares, purifies, pierces and inspires. We can expect to be changed by this move of God. The year 2008 will be the best of years for Christians and the worst of years for unbelievers, mainly due to their fear about the economy. There are doors now open in the spirit that will not shut!

The "Voice of Healing" move of the Spirit of years ago is here for a second time and it won't be stopped. This was a major healing move. This current move can be carried to other cities and countries. Wherever people move and who are carriers of this glory, it will move, like the ark was moved from place to place.

There will be one main thing required to see this outpouring continue: COMMITMENT--it will cost a lot to see it happen. (Todd has said twice now, that if this move requires him to lay down his own ministry, he will do it!) An invasion of glory for the hungry is on the way for you and your whole family!

I felt happy to be able to respond to the altar call as someone from Oregon to come and receive the "anointing and impartation" from Todd Bentley for Revival for Albany, Oregon. I was with others from the places mentioned above. I have been very hungry and contending for many years for Revival. I have gone wherever God has called me to experience His glory and to grow deeper in Him. So I am very encouraged by Monday night's word! The glory of God is coming to your town, too!

Blessings,

Well, I don't see Idaho mentioned on that list, either...but I know that God is not going to leave us out of this...wherever people are hungry for revival, it will come.

One of the beatitudes in Matthew says that "blessed are they who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be filled." We'll be filled with whatever we hunger and thirst for. Send it now, Lord!!! Send truth and love and Your righteousness...send the rain. There's fire in the rain!!

Ann

"wherever people are hungry for revival, it will come."

Well then there is no doubt it will be here also. I know there are so many I am in close fellowship with that are just bubbling over with excitement about it. I am going up to a seminar tomorrow that one of the leaders there spent time last week with Todd Bentley in Florida and said to everyone who wants impartation and healing to come.

I can't put it into words how exciting this is to see this happening in my lifetime!!! Come Lord Jesus come!!

Woooooo  Hooooooo~

Dear Eric,

The first 2 waves came to the Philippines, too. And our church was changed, matured, and purified by them. Other churches here that did not have mature leadership experienced "excesses"; some had never recovered and fell into wrong doctrine, but others were redirected and made wiser by Him. Some other churches experienced these first 2 waves as merely a "fad"--they rolled along the runway but never really took off. But our church continued in revival for 12 years! And the net effect was that we were healed, we were purified, we were brought to a sweeter intimacy with the Lord, and we have entered into the reality of righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.

I guess the Lord knows who among His people truly hunger and thirst for righteousness. And when they ask, He gives them the Holy Spirit, not a snake or a scorpion. He is able to reach even His children who have been led astray. And surely, He is able to reprove, correct, and even remove leaders who have made His children stumble.

May God bless you and may He send revival in your part of the world, too!

God said in His word that in the last days I will pour out My Spirit.....I am from Mississippi and I declare the wind and fire of God will fall in this state too; cause God said if your hungry He will fill!!! We are desperate for you Father........send the rain.........send the fire..........I pray and long for the day when the towns are shut down and doing nothing but praising God in the streets, in the stores, on the interstates!!! How bad do we want it?

You can definitely feel the wind blowing........I want more!!!

Dont miss it!!

Amen, Nancy. We ARE desperate for Him, for His power and glory to fall on us wherever we are in the world.

I believe that right now, it's very important that each one of us be at the right place where God wants us to be. He's drawing us nearer to Himself than before.

As was said on another post, it is about reverential love. It is also about the winds of the Spirit. It is about the rain and the fire. It is about God and all that entails. This revival which has begun will far surpass any other.

It's going world-wide. How do I know this? Well, I was pregnant with it for over 20 years...Then in March 2008, the Holy Spirit told me that what was inside of me would be birthed on March 30th. A few days later, it broke out in Lakeland...That may be the center of it, or a center of the revival, but it's not going to be ONLY there...but all over the world.

For this revival, I have prayed. I remember when the Lord told me to move to Boise, to position me for the upcoming revival. That was near the beginning of 2002. Shortly after moving here, He said to look at a picture of my son which was on the nearby table. Then, He continued, saying that "just as when you were pregnant with your son, you didn't know what he would look like, so it is with this revival. You won't know what it will look like until it is born."

I know that I'm not the only one who has been pregnant with revival, but I am one of them. If you've ever been pregnant in the natural, you know that you're pregnant and that a baby is going to be born. I'd actually forgotten about this pregnancy UNTIL a brother in the Lord told me in maybe November or December. He looked at me and said, "I think you're pregnant." He was right, but now it's been birthed.

Ann

I have a question?  Can we just do what the Word of God directs us and 'FORGET THE FORMER THINGS OF OLD" for behold "GOD IS DOING A NEW THING"?????

The Lord has been working intensely in my own life to FORGET the former things of old.... that means what is GOOD and (especially) what is BAD.

Can we not also do that now when God is fanning the flames of revival to get HIS people burning with fire again so that they can carry HIS PRESENCE to the four corners of the globe??

It is time for our flesh and our soul operations to DIE... so that HIS SPIRIT can flow through us and touch the masses.

Lets STOP looking back... for as Lot's wife looked back, she turned to a pillar of salt!  Lets be determined to turn our backs to the PAST and press in to the NEW THINGS the Lord is doing.

Personally, I don't care about the past revivals and what did or did not happen.... I am only interested in looking at the Father to see what HE is doing TODAY.  TODAY is the day of salvation! TODAY...

The Lord is saying that HE is present! Today is a PRESENT, it is a GIFT and the 'present' is all that we have: TODAY is that PRESENT. Release the gifts Lord Jesus... cause us to turn our backs on the past.. on all the 'former things of old' so that we can step into the unprecedented NEW THINGS which you are doing.

Father, keep us in your TRUTH. Protect us from deception and lies and lying wonders and all contamination and corruption by the evil one. Purify and purge and cleanse our WHOLE hearts!

Father we are HUNGRY for YOU... and we want YOU, your face, your Presence, Your Reality.... we want YOU not simply what you 'give us'... but YOU. Send your fire Lord... humble us, set us free from the PAST... release us and catapolt us into the NEW THINGS ou are doing... Amen!

Amen Dave... SEEK HIM FIRST ... that would be the 'key'....

It always amazed me that some people in the body of Christ seem to have more 'faith' to believe that believers will walk in deception than they do in trusting God to keep them walking in Him and in Truth!

Granted I understand the admonishment that were it possible (in the last days) that 'even the very elect of God would be deceived' ... but God's promise is that He will shorten those days....

If we focus upon Jesus Christ... line all that we receive with His written Word and quit listening and following after a 'man or woman' then can not the Holy Spirit keep us in Truth... for the Word is clear that we have no need that any man teach us but the Anointing which resides in us will teach us???

So, lets 'ride this wave'... boogie board it if we can't surf it... because GOD will be the one to instructs us and elevates us to the skill of a master surfer who rides the top of the waves  when it is HIS time to do so!

So Dave, where in central WA state are you? I'm over NE a bit of Seattle... you can email me at grace2bme@msn.com if you wish??

YEAH GOD!!! YES, my Brother Dave, have been living in the Word, "They that wait upon the LORD will renew their strength. They will mount up as wings of eagles. They will run and not be weary. They will wall and not faint." Very much needed reminder here, ty for sharing.  We will be ready and expecting the GLORY CLOUD when "BAM", IT HITS-AMEN?  HALLELUJAH! \o/      Love you ALL-prayin' & decreein'

Bam:

1.	a loud thud, as that produced when two objects strike against each other with force.

Sounds like "bam" means the supernatural power of God hitting the natural...with force.

Ann

From the Lord for your unceacing prayer and unwavering BELIEF that revival will come!

Jake,

Speaking of "Reign Down," that is also the name of meetings in Washington, DC TODAY!!! They can be seen on God-TV.

He is doing much today and in our futures...something has begun, that will not be stopped.

Bam to all of you...Let the supernatural power of the Almighty hit you now!!!

I'm hungry for the anointing...have been receiving more through watching some of the broadcasts in Florida...even now considering the possibility of going there in person...after going first to Spokane and returning home.

Ann

I have also felt the spirit of the Wind of the Lord change personally. I am hearing Him clearer.  My blood pressure has been steadily running between 170 and 190 over 110.  The lowest of the second figures has been 95.  They havn't been able to get it to come down.

Two nights ago I stopped in K-Mart to pick up something went to get my reading and the Lord said, watch what what I will do.  My first blood pressure reading was still in the 160s but the second was 82! Normal is 80.  It is the second figure is the one that is important.  I was SO happy. And my blood pressure WILL in the presence of the Lord totally be normal.  The time of healing I absolutely believe is upon us.

He says we are no longer the last, but the first.

We are seeing "great turning over" of authority in our workplaces.

In all of this, however, remember that the Bible is the standard.  Jesus said, Greater works that these shall you do in my name.  He was speaking of greater healing miracles, greater deliverances.  BUT there is also at least one person leading in these conferences who has spoken words that I believe are false:  green superman rocks falling from the heavenlies, gold dust falling from the heavenlies (nothing similar in the Bible).  (Point me to it if I am wrong - I truly want to see it.) Yes, we will do and see greater works than the Lord and his disciples did in this world.  (In the Bible people were healed just standing in the disciples shadows!)  However, be careful to make sure that what you are standing on and repeating to others is based on sound, Biblical  truth.  The false will come forth mightily just like the true movement of the Lord.  The false however will also come with words that will lead many that do not walk closely straight into the path that leads to Hell.

TheWhole Earth will manifest his presence.

Hey Bev:  This is a true word from Rick Joyner.  It will take the laying down of our lives in a military style fashion.  If he never said this, I would have still believed it because I see it coming to pass.

I (moved to another state away from a Morninstar church 2-1/2 years ago) spoke with a dear friend of mine still in this church last night.  He says that several from Morningstar have been down in Florida and they believe have brought back the impartation.  He asked about healings -- are there any healings going on?  He didn't get an answer yet to that question.

There is a conference coming up soon and there are great great expectations that God will move in mighty ways.

I am looking for salvations - for the winning of souls -- for the net to overflow - for the lost to be found.  My great desire to be used of the Lord. Healing is a leading in to that.  No one man will be glorified - only the Lord.  This is the time and His people are the place.  He has clearly told me that He lives in us and WE ARE HIS KINGDOM.  His Kingdom is here - in us -- those that have allowed Him to have control -- I feel it has arrived in me.  I want to fulfill His reason for creating me - that He can be lifted up and that His glory will be shown on the earth.  It is all about Him.  Him Him Him Him.

Blessings on you, Bro. Dave. I'm landing in Washington for the first time in my life at or about 10:10 a.m. tomorrow. Going to Spokane as led by the Lord for a vacation, plus intercession and whatever else He gives me to do while there.

Washington state is the only western state I haven't been in yet. Think I'll look up Chuck Pierce and Dutch Sheets words about that state, as I have the book about their 50 state tour.

Ann

This is great! Finding more folks from Washington State posting here. We hail from Auburn, WA., just 22 miles south from the center of downtown Seattle. Hey Bro Dave spent alot of camping hours in your area, God must of really enjoyed making that part of the state, seems like HE made it extra beautiful...smiles!  Sister Ann, you are really not that far away from us there in Idaho. I pray you do get to visit John. G. Lake's gravesite while in Spokane,,,attended a home fellowship that had previously gone there as a group and visited his gravesite, and they shared that the anointing is very tangible still today. Some have referred to there being a 'heavenly portal' there as well. God bless your trip and will be praying for ya.  Love you ALL-prayin' &decreein'

Thanks Dave,

I'll only be there for 2 1/2 days; that is, Monday through Wednesday. Already checked out that website and emailed them twice, but no response. A friend said that there'd been a split there several months ago. I was thinking about going there and praying over that land. I might do it, anyway.

God will reveal to me exactly where to go and when, as He always does. Anyway, I won't be there on a Sunday, as that wasn't His plan for me.

Ann

Dear Friends In the last few weeks there has been a lot of talk about a great revival beginning in Florida.  In fact some are saying  it's the 3rd wave prophesied over the years! The last great revival!  Well, I haven't been to these meetings,  but what I hear is tremendous.  Praise Jesus for what He is doing there!  May this launch forth a great move of God.  But I also have a caution for those seeking "the last days revival. " Revival, as a focus in itself, can actually take us away from God!  Jesus told us what to seek - "the Kingdom of God and His righteousness".  Revival Idolatry Revival is a good thing. But, making an idol of revival is a danger to the North American church.  I know because I did it myself. For many years I pressed into God seeking revival.  I wept and prayed. I studied the revivalists of the past. I looked for the right means, said the right prayers, and hoped....  We had many moves of God....but not revival.  I was often discouraged, even as God was doing great things. All because I was looking for revival. Then the Lord spoke to me that I was an idol worshiper!  He revealed that I had made revival into an idol. Because it was about ministry I hadn't seen it taking shape.  But now, instead of serving Him in a relationship, I  served an idol of revival in my heart!  I had an inward picture of revival that controlled every aspect of my ministry!   My relationship to Christ was focused around it.  It shaped my prayers and action. When that picture had fulfillment I was happy; when it was denied I was upset. My flesh was serving an idol!   How I repented!    Son of man, these men have set up their idols in their heart, and put the stumbling block of their iniquity before their face: should I be inquired of at all by them? (Ezekiel 14:3) I had a picture of revival in my heart and I served it. This picture looked like 18th and 19th century revivals I'd read about, and it elevated me, the preacher God would use! It was a picture that created numbers and success and fame. I was not following God in doing a new thing, I was using God to serve my image of revival.  I prayed for Him to fulfill my picture. I was glad or mad at my congregation depending on whether they were like my picture.  Revival In Todays Church Oh how many preachers are serving the idol of revival in todays church.  Glad, sad, mad, or depressed by their flesh commanding idol-picture.   We are looking for the glory, angels, healings and great spiritual experiences. We have a picture of revival and success coming to our churches!  We market revival to the Christian media!  But we forget the humility, brokenness and death to ourselves that is the beginning of genuine revival.   We Cannot Have Revival.  We Can Only Have God I often minister to pastors in Korea. They are calling on God to repeat the revival of 100 years ago.  The problem is, the revival of 100 years ago was among poor, simple,  outcast believers humbling themselves with each other and finally being totally freed by God!  Today  the ones asking are pastors of large, modern , successful churches with a vision to fulfill.   How do we make a shift from a 100 year old revival? We can't.  We need to forget  revival and get back to God.   Smash Down The Idol Of Revival ... he brake in pieces the brazen serpent that Moses had made; for unto those days the children of Israel did burn incense to it; and he called it Nehushtan. (II Kings 18:4) At one time God used the bronze serpent on the pole to heal everyone who looked at it. But later generations worshiped it. Hezekiah had to destroy it. The same thing has happened to revival. At one time God used revival to deliver His people, now His people worship it as if revival is a god. The time has come to smash the idol of revival!   Revival is not some "thing" to seek and to have. When a revival has happened it is very good, but it is simply a descriptive term.  Rather, we must do what Jesus told us to. But seek ye first his kingdom, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. (Matthew 6:33) Now I say something that sounds utterly contradicting. "Oh Jesus! May revival come! Possess our hearts utterly and completely. Reveal the true nature of our characters, what we love and fear, what really motivates us, and transform us,  Reveal our religious natures, how we still depend on what we do, and immerse us in your grace and love. Oh Lord, awaken your church, your bride, make her radiant and lovely. Clothe us in splendor. Make our hearts utterly your own, so your life shines through us to the whole world. Amen   Blessings  Terry Somerville www.totalchange.org Newsletter Archives The Last Wave  Terry Somerville  When we talk about the 3rd wave and the last great revival to sweep the earth,  we are talking about the greatest of all moves of God, in an earth. This is far bigger than our continent, and well outside our perspective. God is not American. This revival will be about  the Kingdom of God in the earth, not the modern western church having greater meetings. Let us recall a few prophetic characteristics of the coming wave of end time revival.    1. The Last Revival Will Be Greater Than All We need perspective.  God is moving throughout the earth in fantastic ways already.  It's not new, it's just new to us!  In Asia and Africa the dead are raised, the lame walk, the blind see, demons cast out, multiplied thousands come to Christ. I have seen it and been involved myself. It is SO GREAT in some  places, I wonder if the last revival has started  and we've been missing it! Maybe we can at least catch up!   In any event,  the last revival is certainly bigger than everything that has come so far! 2. The Last Revival Will Flow Through God's People And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my Spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions:In the last days God will pour out His Spirit on all flesh" Joel 2:28 The last days revival will flow through believers not just leaders. It will be a "people of the Kingdom" revival, not a "leaders and their meetings" revival. This is why it is often called the "nameless and faceless" revival. (there will still be meetings and leaders, of course. They're just not the epi-center of the revival)  This is also  why we've seen the focus on the market place in preparation for this move. It will flow through everyone. My wife Karen often says, "I'll know it's a revival when I see what I saw happening in the 1970's.  Christians talked openly about Christ everywhere. There was real love and transformed lives. The city was shaken."  This hasn't been repeated or transcended in North America yet. 3.The Last Revival Will Be Focused On Grace  The religious systems of the church will either change or be bypassed by the last revival. It is a grace revival!   It's not about... who you follow, where you go,   what you give, who you know,     what you do and how you do it       No no no, NO!   ( Dr. Suess take heart) It's Christians returning  and totally depending on the amazing love and grace of God in Jesus Christ.  Finding  total forgiveness and living in transformation. Healing and delivering even the vilest person.  It is the Holy Spirits good and joyful life expressed in every day living. It is the rule of the Kingdom in every man, blessing and expanding in this worlds business, bringing the love and character of God to everything they touch.  A wave of life and love that sweeps everyone before it. Now thats revival.

Hey Dave... good to get an idea of your guys' location, thanks... Gayle.. you are south of me... have you checked out a place in SeaTac called Riverglory? Joe and Danielle Meyering pastor there and they are a prophetic type small fellowship and they are praying and believing and seeing powerful demonstrations by the Spirit.... check it out if the Lord so leads... http://www.riverglory.com/

He was at a church I attend occasionally up north last weekend and he mentioned a prophetic word that went forth that talked about record snowfalls and a late snowfall and how this would be a sign of an outpouring in our area of AMAZING AWESOME GRACE with signs and wonders and miracles happening... we need a move of God to destroy the dysfunctional cold unfriendliness present here in the area for sure... with souls saved and filled and ignited on fire for the Lord Jesus Christ...

Yes, Lord... let this reviving... revive your weary in well doing people... ignite us with the FIRE of your Presence, with the Spirit of Might so that we can demonstrate the reality of the Lord Jesus Christ in power, signs and wonders... bring in the lost Lord... to relationship with you, not to 'church'.. to YOU personally! Amen!!

A friend of mine had a word about those criticizing what the Lord is doing now and how HE is not going to tolerate people to speak death to what God is doing and going to do.

I believe that the Lord spoke that same thing to me as well. I am full on about cautioning 'the people' from making revival an idol as Terry Somerville wrote... but I am NOT going to mouth that this is a false anything... because I know that GOD HIMSELF is quite able to deal with Todd and any other vessels who God is using to SPARK this move.

This is the beginning of something greater and I believe it will move to a nameless and faceless generation being used by God to reach the masses... even as Tommy Hicks prophesied.  IF WE HONOR GOD and FOCUS UPON HIM ALONE, not man, and keep death from being spoken into this .. No matter what, GOD himself will deal with those speaking death... and HE will deal with those in leadership who have impure hearts and motives, too.... His fire is going to burn it out...

Lets trust GOD to BE GOD here folks... and focus upon GOD rather than any man... including Todd.... we are conduits... and I pray that the Spirit of the FEAR OF THE LORD would fall and protect what GOD is doing... may the Spirit of the Lord deal with ALL OF OUR HEARTS and may out tongues speak only the Words of the Lord and LIFE!

Send the fire to all of us on OH, Lord!!

Awesome DJ, and others responding also.

Julie, AMEN!!  Who could have imagined what this Outpouring would actually look like!!!  BAM!!!!  Funny  !!  The Lord does have a sense of humor.  And, He is fed up with this spirit of Pride and Religion in His Church.

To those doubting that this is Genuine, I would be very careful before speaking against this amazing move of the Holy Spirit.  Here’s our firsthand experience…The people that are coming to our meetings have no hidden agendas…They are DESPERATE!!!  Desperate for change to come in their lives.  Desperate for healing of their wounds.  Desperate for Jesus to free them from these chains of satan.  They are all going back home CHANGED by the power of the Holy Spirit.  And, it intensifies every week.

WOW!!!!   BAM!!!!

Patricia King is my Pastor and has been to Lakeland ~ 

Blessings to All ~

' ...this is a video link to what has been happening at the CSCL school at MorningStar. please keep in mind that many of these kids have never encountered the Holy Spirit to this intensity ever before and do not know how to control the rush of emotions that happens many times when we have such a powerful encounter. there is some excess, lack of restraint with the emotions but over all I think they are doing a really good job!'

Hi Vicki~

It's so nice to hear from you~ I Thankyou for sending the video links to Morning Star Ministries  CSCL school ~ how awesome for the youth to receive this outpouring and be carriers of the Fire ~ what a blessing!   I'm glad you are being impacted  as well ~ I know I am along with so many OF GOD'S PEOPLE AROUND THE WORLD WHO ARE "HUNGRY FOR MORE "

Thankyou So Much Vicki~

God With Us - More Than Revival

By Ron McGatlin

Spiritual Lightening And Forest Fires

The fire of God has come near to earth with a mighty roaring sound to destroy the works of the devil. A bolt of lightning fire has struck in the forest of hungry humanity starving for a real outpouring of God. Multitudes of tired half-dead "beggars" (revival chasers) sitting beside the kingdom highway because they were too weak from starvation to continue the journey have been struck by heavenly lightening. The fire of God has been ignited on earth in a sudden lightning strike in Lakeland, Florida USA.

There is nothing man can take credit for or claim to have done to have brought this about. God did not choose a noble, admirable man of high esteem to receive the igniting strike of lightning. God chose one of the most naturally un-glorious preachers on the planet. Todd Bentley, a redeemed drug addict is short, stout, balding, covered in tattoos and piercings, plainly clothed, without smooth manners, who does not preach eloquently and does not mind laying a heavy hand on people. His speech often appears to be promoting as he calls for people to come to the meetings and get some of what God is pouring out.

It appears that God is igniting from this fire of healing revival, a move of God that is rapidly spreading to the world. As the fire is carried and spread by a mighty rushing wind, a sudden burst of downdraft from heaven blowing through electronic media to the world there is something far greater than the original lightning strike of healing revival that is igniting in the world.

The original fire in Florida may have been powerful healing revival. However, that which is igniting as it spreads around the world is more than revival. This is God coming to His people in a personal presence more intense than previous moves of God in my lifetime. In my opinion the fire that is spreading is NOT REVIVAL or RENEWAL but a new and greater presence of GOD WITH US. The cry is no longer, send us revival; it is come Jesus, Jesus, Jesus!

Not A New Wineskin

However, many God seekers are confused and some are not sure why. The outpouring in Florida is a fresh, new, and real substance of God with us. However, it is not being poured out through a new wineskin. The container is not fresh, new, or completely real. The glory of God is pouring through the old revival model and methods of the last move of God. However, more change is on the way. The new wineskin may not be in Florida but in spots around the world. New wineskins are coming that will properly carry the new wine in containers that will not merchandise or mix it with the old ways.

A WORD OF WISDOM

Do not allow anything about the people, the past, or the current activities prevent you from receiving the fire anointing being poured out. For God's sake, for your own sake, and for the sake of the world, don't allow appearance of the people or splashes of flesh to turn you away. Just get touched by all of the anointing that you can, however you can. It will manifest in you with purity according to your heart and according to your need and the need of those around you.

Do not seek to reproduce the model. What is coming forth is God with us and not a model for ministry or anything else. God will come upon us with fire and reality of what we have prayed for and longed for but have not really experienced. There is real healing, real miracles, and real repentance from dead works that easily result as we come into the real work and heavy presence of God. We don’’t need to fake it. God is really with us inside and outside of our beings in such a way that miracles actually become only a side event of the presence of God. And I am not talking about only at the meetings in Florida or even only while watching them. I am talking about wherever you or I meet hungry people. The anointing of fire will be there once we are baptized in the Spirit and fire. Watching the meetings and seeing the notable miracles will soon grow boring if all we do is watch. The life and anointing will fade quickly if we do not get involved. Step out in faith and follow the Sprit in whatever, wherever, and however He leads, and God will empower.

ONLY BELIEVE AND FEAR NOT

Faith is easy in the fire. In the heavy presence of God, there is full awareness that we can do nothing. However, faith goes through the roof all the way to heaven when fire ignites and all things are truly possible with great ease. Our intellect that tries to tell us things are impossible is out of commission and non-functional as the anointing of fire in the heavy presence of God consumes our natural being.

Where there is complete faith, there is no fear. Where there is fear, there is a lack of faith. Do not fear angels. Holy angels are ministering spirits sent from God. Where the heavy presence of God is, there will be ministering spirits sent to do specific works of ministry to the hungry people. Some people will be aware of them and others will not.

Heb 1:13-14: But to which of the angels has He ever said: "Sit at My right hand, Till I make Your enemies Your footstool"? Are they not all ministering spirits sent forth to minister for those who will inherit salvation?

Do not fear manifestations. When the real power of almighty God comes into direct connection with a living human body and soul, there will be extreme manifestations. Remember God is our loving heavenly Father and will not do evil to us. Do not fear the devil. Commit your way unto the Lord and trust in Him with your whole heart. Trust the Holy Spirit to guide and keep you. Please do not think you can figure God out and judge what He is doing with your wee little human understanding. Again trust in the Lord with all your heart.

Prov 3:5-6: Trust in the LORD with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths.

A Season of Intense Preparation

Strong preparation is needed for future intense times. The coming fall of all the pride and loftiness of man will facilitate a great harvest and a very serious time of extreme adjustments worldwide. The supernatural powerful presence of God will be carried by an army of people to destroy the works of the enemy from people's lives and the world. The evil works done by the enemy that have tormented and restrained the people will be removed and the people healed as salvation to all who will come is brought forth in fullness. God is with us in this season preparing many in this time of preparation for the fullness of the kingdom coming to earth.

Keep on pursuing love.
It never fails.

Les.. bring the FIRE back to those of us here who can't make it there :)

Julie, I was watching the service last night and was getting pretty pumped. We're now counting the days until May 14. If you can make it to Lakeland, you can stay with us at our hotel for free! Breakfast is included. For sure I'll post when we return. Ron McGatlin had a wonderful posting that I read last night about not allowing any flesh or "old wineskin" actions distract us from getting in God's presence. Now, I can't find it. It was such a good posting because my 16-year old daughter didn't want to watch because of Todd's "yelling," as she put it. Ron's posting was perfect because it really spoke to the issue at hand and helped her to anticipate God's presence even if the venue or vessel being used wasn't perfect.

My 13-year old daughter (who is more of a Barbie wanna be than a Sister Holy Mary) was prophesied over a few years ago that her heart would be broken for her generation. At her school (Christian) there are some really sad kids with messed up family lives. She and two friends have been speaking with and praying for one particular boy, who lives with his grandparents because neither his mom or dad want him. Turns out she's been up in her room praying an hour a night for this boy asking God to heal his heart. Well, he's totally changed, believes that God loves him and receives him. This is boy is one happy camper! Another night she asked God to show her His heart for her classmates. (She's in the 8th grade and what a tough year that is!) She came downstairs crying because of what God had shown her. Oh my goodness, oh my goodness. This is without me interferring or being an "encouraging mother" and pushing her. I walk it out before her and let her catch it that way. She's not home and doesn't know where we're going. I'm thinking this trip will impact her hugely.

My other daughter (16-year old) has been my running buddy to different venues where God has been. She collided with God when she was 12 (talk about raccoon eyes) and was really cooking with gas (spiritually). For the last two years it has been dry as sawdust around here (in the spirit). We are so ready for some cool water and to get blown away in his presence. She has cerebral palsy (but isn't in a wheelchair, etc.) She has learning disabilities and ADHD. Maybe she'll finally get healed. She volunteers two days a week at Children's Mercy Hospital in Kansas City. She's a testimony to parents with really sick or physically damaged kids not to give up hope. We'll see what happens. We have two weeks to anticipate and prepare our hearts to encounter HIM in a new way. I love His presence.

Les, thanks for the invite, that is truly so kind of you!    I am going to have to be one that stays put and receives through GOD.TV and just know that Washington State (not a particular town) is going to receive this move in HIS time... If the Lord directs me to pack up and go, I will have to obey.. but at this point, he isn't leading that way.

I have been trying to get my new friend Janet whom lives somewhere in Florida to go. She has mass health issues and has a catholic background but loves Jesus immensely.. her husband is not saved and they just lost a family member, so she hasn't written me back yet. I sent her the link to the Channel 10 News report on Lakeland. Hoping Holy Spirit will convict her to go or let her view on God.TV... been praying for her healing... sigh

Anyway, when you are there think/pray for me that God would just send His Presence to my heart and house.. and something would spark in my area... Im all for doing whatever the Lord would lead.....

thank you so much for the invite... you rock!  Enjoy! I know your daughter is going to experience something bigger than she can even comprehend, and you too! whoo hoo!

Dave, I receive that word for ALL of our State! and for every where else also.. may the FIRE of Holy Spirit burn in the towns as we go to the highways and byways and compel them to come in.... Yes Lord Jesus... purify our hearts so we can be containers of Your Glory in this great outpouring!

Thanks tons for sharing...

Amen!

A desperate missionary family, unfamiliar with healing revivals, takes their daughter to Lakeland where she has an encounter with Jesus.
Written and reported by: Teresa Neumann from Breaking Christian News

(Lakeland, Florida)--Pastor Stephen Strader of Ignited Church in Lakeland, Florida, where a massive revival has broken out, contacted Breaking Christian News about an amazing healing that took place there on Saturday, April 26, in which 14-year-old Kelsey Hays was healed from multiple autoimmune diseases.

I telephoned Kelsey's mother, Lesley, of Kansas City, Missouri, on Tuesday, April 29, to ask her for details of what happened. She and Kelsey were still in Lakeland, preparing to fly back to Kansas City where they attend the International House of Prayer (IHOP).

Some background on Kelsey and her family:

At the age of 9, Kelsey was diagnosed with Hashimoto's disease, an autoimmune related thyroid condition. Later she acquired Hepatitis C, which her mother says she "fought off," but in the process, it left her body weakened and subject to other immunological diseases.

Mr. and Mrs. Hays and their family have been missionaries in Mexico, and most recently, Ecuador for at least ten years. In September of last year, they had arrived back in the states for a furlough. Shortly thereafter in October, Kelsey fell victim to a variety of increasingly serious illnesses. She had her gallbladder removed and during surgery, doctors noticed that her liver was scarred and infected. Later, doctors believed inflammation from the infection had entered the lining of her stomach and was attacking her central nervous system. By April, Kelsey's parents and her baffled doctors were at their wit's end. She was in continual, intense, and severely crippling pain, taking up to 30 pills a day to try and manage it.

Then recently, someone at the Hays' church approached them with news of the revival in Lakeland and offered to pay the family's way there. Though they had never experienced meetings like the ones they were about to attend, the Hays were desperate. Also, Lesley said Kelsey had shared with their church a significant vision Kelsey had in March of this year, the Saturday before Easter Sunday. In the vision, Kelsey said she found herself connected to an IV, standing before the Throne of God. Jesus came down and cut the IV tube and then God the Father came down, removed the IV from her hand, took off her hospital gown and said, "It's done!"

"The day after the vision," noted Lesley, "was the worst day of pain Kelsey ever had."

Saturday, April 26, Lakeland, Florida:

By the time Kelsey and her parents arrived at the venue in Lakeland, it was 6:00pm. The lines of people stretching for blocks outside of the church told them that it was filled to capacity and they would not be able to get in. Standing in the crowd, the Hays' heard story after story of healings and miracles happening around the world, even to those not present in the meetings. Somehow, Lesley and Kelsey were finally able to get in (Lesley thought because they had helped another suffering couple to get in), but Mr. Hays remained outside.

Kelsey was in so much pain and so fatigued, she couldn't walk. Her mother literally dragged, and half-carried her up to the only space available in the balcony, where they began to cry and worship the Lord. "It's all we could do," she said. Standing next to them were a man and woman, complete strangers. The woman turned to Kelsey and said, "I believe God wants to give you new organs" (Kelsey's gallbladder had been removed). The man looked at Lesley and said, "I just saw you in a dream recently. I saw myself carrying your daughter down to the stage to get prayer."

Even though at the time, Todd Bentley was taking testimonies from people who had been healed, the man offered to help take Kelsey down to get prayer. Lesley, unfamiliar with the type of meeting she was in, was afraid of breaking protocol and hesitated. Moments later, Todd stopped the testimonies and said, "I see someone with an IV pain drip in their left arm. Who is that?" Remembering Kelsey's vision of standing before the Throne with her IV, her mother took up the man's offer. He carried Kelsey down to the stage. Todd prayed a simple prayer, touched Kelsey's forehead, and she fell out under the power of the Spirit for about 45 minutes, said Lesley.

What was happening to Kelsey during this time? According to her mother, Kelsey said while she was "out" she was taken to Heaven. She found herself in a celestial surgical room where Jesus stood next to her looking right down at her, directly face-to-face. He said to her, "Keep your eyes on Me, Kelsey. It'll be ok."

She saw angels all around her; she felt them kneading her stomach, doing deep massage on her entire body, especially her legs and arms which had been so weak. At one point while Kelsey was lying on the floor under the Spirit, her mother said Todd announced publicly: "Look! There's angels over her."

When Kelsey finally came to and stood up, Todd asked her how she felt. "I feel nothing," said Kelsey. "I feel NO PAIN!"

Kelsey has been in NO PAIN since she experienced God's extraordinary touch of healing! She's feeling just like a 14-year old girl should feel.

You can continue watching this extraordinary healing revival in Lakeland, Florida, and hear the testimonies that come out of it on www.God.tv or www.freshfire.ca.

An extraordinary move of God has broken out at our facilities at Heritage. We have experienced many great visitations of God in the past, but in some ways this one is more powerful and seems to be more enduring than anything we have known before.

This breakout began when something like a whirlwind came into the Bible class of our K-12 school. Hearing the noise, students came running from other classes. Then students from our School of Ministry and our staff joined in. Hours later, when parents came to pick up their children, they ended up on the floor, with nearly two hundred people remaining until after 1:00 a.m. (Photo: Youth at MorningStar Ministries during Holy Spirit Breakout)

The next night the number more than doubled, and the following night it doubled again. We had purposefully not promoted this, simply because we did not know how long it would last, but news of it is beginning to draw people from all over, and it does seem that what is happening will continue and even increase in intensity. Significant miracles and genuine deliverances are taking place. People are being radically impacted and changed. Some of our students who were of the most concern to us are leaders of the breakout. Their fellow students, teachers, and parents are in awe at the transformations, knowing that years of preaching and teaching did not accomplish what seems to have been done with one touch from God.

Though people of all ages are being touched, this breakout began with high school students, and the youth seem to have the primary anointing. We have therefore resolved to give oversight and direction as needed, but let the youth lead. When they do, the Holy Spirit seems to come in waves which have been so strong that even our leadership team has been gripped by fear at times. (Photo: Youth at MorningStar Ministries during Holy Spirit Breakout)

People who have been in some of the most powerful recent revivals have all said this is as strong or stronger than anything they have ever experienced.

We are not calling this a revival yet, and we do not know how long it will last. For over fifty years it has been prophesied that a revival will come to Charlotte that will touch the ends of the earth. Over the last twelve years we have experienced what we believe to be a pattern of spiritual birth pangs or contractions that will eventually give birth to a major revival. As we get closer to a birth, the more intense and frequent the contractions become, and what we have experienced has followed that pattern.

If what we are experiencing now is not the beginning of the expected revival, then it is the most intense spiritual contraction we have yet had by far and certainly indicates that the revival itself is very close. If this turns out to be just a contraction, the revival is obviously going to be something far beyond our previous expectations.

At the very least, we are experiencing a significant breakthrough, and we intend to continue with nightly meetings for as long as the Spirit is moving. We will be giving regular updates as Special Bulletins on our website. If you are planning to come, we suggest you come early because the facilities are starting to fill up. To reserve rooms at Heritage, just call 800-542-0278.

Global Revival

From: Denny Cline

The minute Ivan Roman and I walked up onto the platform last night, I noticed an amazing hunger that reminded me of the South American revivals in Argentina and Brazil. A man whom many consider the father of the move of God in Argentina and who is Carlos Anacondia's pastor in a church of 40,000--was there last night.

The convention center was packed with hungry people from all over the world. Worship is also a big part of this outpouring. Roy Fields who leads most of it is much like a more radical version and younger one of Lindell Cooley. His signature song which starts, "In the presence of Your Glory..." is really the other overwhelming mark of this outpouring.

The glory of the Lord and His manifest presence is very strong to where you just begin to get caught up in it. It is in this atmosphere that Todd Bentley begins to feel the direction of each meeting, and it always seems miracles just breakout in the audience without anyone laying hands on them as Todd takes authority over sickness, disease, oppression and such. I should have written down some of the testimonies, but I was just too caught up in God's presence to do so.

Tonight we move to Joker Marchant Stadium (also known as Tiger Stadium) for the weekend (Friday, Saturday, and Sunday). Then they are scheduled back at the convention center on Monday, which seems to have crowds of 7,000 to 8,000 coming nightly from all over the world now.

Each night, half of the crowd showing up are new people. Pastor Stephen Strader is holding morning meetings at the Ignited Church in Lakeland where this started--and it is in overflow with nearly 1,000 coming each morning!

This is truly contagious and reports keep coming back of new outbreaks around the world.

Much love to you Steve. I am speaking in Stephen's church in the morning session tomorrow at 10am. Please have people pray for me to be sensitive and strong in the Lord.

Hello,

I want to thank you all for your great reporting. I've been watching it since Thursday 2 weeks ago, April 17.

I have been searching for several days for an account of a visit by an angel that Todd spoke of about a week ago, maybe on April 28th??? He said that in January 2007, at 3AM, he had both an open vision, and a visit from an angel of The Fear Of The Lord, who had a sword and cut chains from him, and brought a great dreadful awe - I forgot the exact words for what the angel brought, before I could get it written down.

I've found a word from Todd for the summer of 2007, but not this account, and I found a posting of teachings he brought foward in 2007 as a result of this encounter, and it referenced the encounter, but did not describe it.  The name of this Holy Thing that the angel brought has been bugging me, ever since, and all I know is that "dread" is part of the name of it - it pertains to Holiness and respectful awe of God, which is a mild way to put it.

I hope someone has an account, or remembers what I am referring to.

Thank you, Ginger

Ginger,
Dread Champion is what you are looking for.

Webster defines dread as "to fear greatly" yet if you look at the last entry in the definition it means "inspiring awe".

The NASB in Jeremiah 20:11 says "But the LORD is with me like a dread champion; Therefore my persecutors will stumble and not prevail. They will be utterly ashamed, because they have failed, With an everlasting disgrace that will not be forgotten."

I am a team member for Swiftfire Ministries in Denham Springs, Louisiana.  Sharnael Wolverton, who is the voice and founder of Swiftfire, shared with us how she had an experience with the Lord.  She had the words DREAD CHAMPION written on her hand.  Upon awakening from the experience, she began to research it out.  The dread champion is the one who is feared most. 

Goliath was the dread champion of his time.  Thus, upon defeat of the giant of the land, David became the new dread champion. 

This became such revelation to Sharnael that she has scheduled a "Dread Champion" Conference in Louisiana for the youth this October.  She believes it is a clarion call to the youth of the nation to rise up and become the warriors, the champions of the generation to usher in the manifest presence of the glory of the Lord.

It is my belief that these dread champions have begun to arise with such fullness of the presence of God that they will fear no evil.  We will see manifestations of the Lord that have not seen before for the Lord says in His word that signs and wonders will follow those that believe.  We live in a radical society and it will take the radical dread champion warriors empowered by the awe-inspiring Jesus Christ living in them to bring about the revival and revolution that we need.

Blessed be the Name of the Lord!

 27"Son of man, behold, the house of Israel is saying, 'The vision that he sees is for many years from now, and he prophesies of times far off. "Therefore say to them, 'Thus says the Lord GOD, "None of My words will be delayed any longer. Whatever word I speak will be performed,"'" declares the Lord GOD.

I've been thinking of the word "Lakeland" lately, a land of lakes. Not that this city of Lakeland is that. I don't know, as I haven't been there yet.

There's an old saying to "go jump in the lake." That saying had a derogatory meaning, but looks like in this season, many are jumping into this lake (of holy fire) in Lakeland.

I also think of having been at John G. Lake's gravesite a few days ago and the glory of God falling on the area as I sat quietly in the my rented vehicle, a Jeep Liberty. Another "Lake."

Ann

Thank you so much, Vicki and Sonia.

More than I can say.

Vicki, I am thrilled to have a resource for searches, since I don't have Tivo and my recorder doesn't work on the TV we are watching this from. I'm taking notes, but...

Sonia - God bless you, and for a FULL answer! I really really like that - this is much more information than Todd gave, bless his heart - and doesn't he have enough on his plate at the moment!

This is AWESOME indeed!

It sends chills all over me to read it, for yes, these are the days we have been born for! And it will take EVERYTHING of the Lord we can receive by supernatural grace.

BTW, I saw Sharnael of Swiftfire, at Lakeland with Todd, and that was powerful!

I am from Texas, and I have lived almost my entire life in an area between San Antonio and Mexico where my family has lived for up to 10 generations, directly where  Santa Anna's army had to pass to get to the Alamo, in SouthWest Texas.

I feel very strongly about being willing to fight for That Which is worth having! And boy, will it ever take some Dread Champions!

I pray Sharnael will have more young people at the Conference than she knows what to do with! I'd love to soak my two sons in one of them! Both have had such things spoken over them at birth. Both are fully as ornery as their Mom! BUT GOD IS ABLE!

Bless you all there in Louisianna - I have only been there once - I went to an AGLOW INTERNATIONAL Convention in New Orleans back in the early 1980's!  hahahaha DID WE ROCK THAT PLACE! I tell you! What a celebration of the Lord we had. God bless you all, Sonia.

And Vicki, you too, and thank you again to both of you!

Thanks to you, Sonia, and also to Gayle. Thank you both so much.

I may do that, Sonia, but tonight, I just got through watching the 4 hours on TV, and I am so SOAKING!

This was especially powerful tonight and I think this Dread Champion had a lot to do with it - since Todd spoke of an anointing to destroy the yoke of afflictions from witchcraft and the occult  etc, et al.

It was wonderful to see the little 11 yr old boy with Cerebral Palsy come out of his wheelchair, he is such a little treasure!

I believe we will see a powerful shift in the battle, now!

hehehehe

As you say, Gayle, SHALOM!

And I add, MORIAH, for when we see the Truth in all His Glory... oh, Jesus must be rejoicing to see so many of His children set free and laughing with joy!  We should be getting really exponential flaming, now!  Hallelujah!

Strange incident in " Other", tonight - my mom watches the Spurs basketball games, and tonight, wherever they are playing, something caught the basketball court floor on fire, they think MAYBE a powder the players use to get traction on their hands and feet - and it was enough that some of the players apparently got burned, and suspended play at least long enough to actually have to put it out!

This didn't happen very long after Todd told people to get the coals and carry the fire and spread the fire!

Strange.

An investigation has to be done, they cannot imagine what happened.

 2 Chronicles 7:14  If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

 2 Timothy 1:12  For the which cause I also suffer these things: nevertheless I am not ashamed: for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day.

Ah, Gayle - caught that, "Dread Awakening"...

And I do remember that one of the spiritual battles going on in our neck of the woods forever, seemingly, is against a spirit of STUPOR! And Todd has referred several times to the Church needing to WAKE UP!

Moriah is the name of one of the principle mountains of the Lord, and the definition according to Strongs includes but isn't limited to (more fully expounded in older hardback copies ) that it is a place where one sees God as He really is, from very aspect of viewing and of every facet of His Being - and that one is also thus seen by Him, from every aspect, and  of every facet of our being, also, with total love and acceptance, and every other adjective of "seeing" and "being seen" and of loving and of being fully accepted that you can just about imagine.

I've recently moved and my hardback book copy is still with my things that haven't been brought here, and if I go do a search online, it is going to be among sites I am not as familiar with, but I believe that Moriah is where Abraham took Isaac, and where many other significant mountain top experiences across history took place. It exemplifies the intimate assurance of a Blood Covenant relationship, faith and trust. I.e., Abraham trusting God for Abraham to sacrifice his only son, for the Apostles to have the assurance, whether they knew it or not, when Jesus said, "...if I go to prepare a place for you, you know I will come again and receive you unto Myself..."

(Often, the Jews heard Jesus speaking to them in Blood Covenant terms terms of the Covenant of God with Abraham, and then acted as if they didn't know what on earth He was talking about, i.e. the Parable of the Ten Virgins, and the Five who let their oil run out! Ever wonder what the big deal was?)

Moriah is a solid match for Shalom and Blood Covenant.

There is an interesting teaching by Kim Clement about Moses asking to see the Face of God, and being told that he could not live  if he did, but he can see the "hinder parts" or "backside" of the Lord when He walks by, after He hides Moses in the Cleft of the Rock.

I've only heard Kim say this one time, and I don't even remember how long ago, but I'm pretty sure it was between 2002 and 2004. I have this written in a notebook in some lost spot among my things not moved here, too. So this is TOTALLY from Memory - and I happen to have Epstein Barr - standing for healing! I'm being touched significantly - WOW, and I'm standing.

But what you do is go to the verse regarding that passage and get the version in King James  for most Strong's - and look up the word they have for "hinder parts", or "behind", and look THAT up in the Strong's Concordance, being sure you have the right verse reference for that word, because many English Words are often translated from 2-6 different  Original Language words.

When you thus have the correct Stron'gs NUMBER, then you go to the Hebrew Dictionary to the original word, and it carries the connotation that if you look AT SOMEONE, then what you see BEHIND them is ETERNITY in THAT direction - i.e., to look at the FACE of Eternity is to see ALL of History. To look at the behind or backside of a person or thing is to look over their shoulder INTO THEIR FUTURE for all eternity.

You CAN extrapolate from this, that if you see it, you can BE THERE, too - it is within the wide range of the translation in older more expanded editions.

After explaining this for about 15 minutes, so you see, I am abridging this way too much - he then postulates that the way Moses saw God's "behind quarters", or "backside", and thus His FUTURE, and then was to "BE THERE"IN Jesus' future, THAT is how Moses came to be on the Mount of Transfiguration with Jesus.

And if you think about that a while, you realize - what else could give a mere mortal the humility and fortitude to guide 2-6 million people as recalcitrant and obnoxious as the Jews (me, too - not a Jew, but...) throughout the wilderness for 40 years - and NEVER consider giving up. Was the fanny parts of EVEN GOD Himself to be THAT inspiring? Or was it a visit with Jesus on His very last stop BEFORE THE CROSS that made Moses understand that if he didn't first do his own part, that Jesus COULD NOT EVER do His Own Part, either!

That Jesus was TOTALLY depending on Moses to provide the foundation through Covenant Relationships staying intact, all the way to Mary!

I had been asking God for 20 years to explain to me why Moses experience in the Cleft of the Rock was good enough to get Moses through all that he had to endure - since Moses was only "just a mere man" such as we ourselves, too.

And you know how Kim is, you NEVER know ahead of time when you will see him on TV, LIVE - well, not at that ti me, at all, and not often, these days!

I'll fill in a bit on a second post.

 Moriah:

So this is the Temple Mount itself. I wanted to say that, but wasn't sure I remembered that correctly.

Moriah = "chosen by Jehovah"  (Carries a connotation of Holy, Holiness)

from H7200 and H3050

Moses: Exodus 33:18-23

http://www.blueletterbible.org/cgi-bin/c.pl?book=Exd&cha pter=33&verse=23&version=KJV#23

my back parts:

[0268]

'achowr

1) the back side, the rear

a) backwards

b) hereafter (of time)

c) behind

AV — back(s) 16, backward 11, behind 5, hinder parts 3, afterwards 1, back parts 1, backside 1, hereafter 1, time to come 1, without 1

See, you have in the translation both "hereafter" and also "time to come", as well as "afterwards".

The expanded older version includes the concept of "down the corridor of time". and "over and past the shoulder"

&&&&&&&&&&&& &&&&&&&&&

&&&&&&&&&&&& &&&&&&&&&&

Altogether, the connotation I came up with is that we CAN see God's Face and live - but not while He is standing between Yesterday and Tommorrow, FACING THE FUTURE - because next thing, we'd be shot over His shoulder, down the corridor of Time to The Beginning, when we had NOT YET BEEN CREATED.

Since I grew up on Rod Serling and did repent and get deliverance for the occultic influences, I still conceive that this concept means BIG TROUBLE for Humans to be suddenly shot back to BEFORE TIME FOR US BEGAN!

DISCLAIMER: THIS is NOT a concept I hang my hat on -  And Kim said the same thing - but I do think it explains a world of hurt that Moses was able to take and cast off, laying his burdens at the feet of Jesus.

Especially that part where God told Moses to get out of His Way and let Him destroy Israel -  but even though Jesus IS The Way, Moses did NOT get out of the Path of God (out of "THE WILL" OF GOD???) and stood for Israel, no matter what, because it wasn't just for Israel's sake - because of Blood Covenant - "I will die and give my life for you that you might live, I will give my Blood that you shall not go athirst, I will give my Flesh that you shall not go without Bread of Life, before I let ANYTHING happen to you." - ALSO FOR THE SAKE OF JESUS that He break not His Covenant, His Word, His Life, His Light, and be destroyed Himself!

Because God is OF THE HOUSE OF Abraham, Abraham is as much God's Father as God is Abraham's because of COVENANT.

THAT is why we have this BLESSED ASSURANCE!

Lori... thank you for being a vessel to deliver a profound word...

"it isn’t about what you can accomplish through faith, but what God can accomplish in you through patience."

Scripture states: through FAITH and PATIENCE you inherit the promises!! Beings that each one of us are in different stages of growth in Holy Spirit, there are different needs which God is working to meet. Let us truly NOT DESPISE these small beginnings... let us PRAY and BLESS what Father is doing in this initial stage... for Todd himself is saying that this is only the beginning...

To every thing there is a season and a time to every purpose under heaven.... what is transpiring may not be what we 'need' at this point but more is coming.... I truly believe the Lord is saying JUDGE NOTHING BEFORE THE APPOINTED TIME.... if we judge anything, let it be that we ask God to JUDGE OUR OWN INDIVIDUAL HEARTS... for His word specifically states that when we judge someone else, we are guilty of the very thing we are judging: Romans 2:1 "You, therefore, have no excuse, you who pass judgment on someone else, for at whatever point you judge the other, you are condemning yourself, because you who pass judgment do the same things"

Again it goes back to following Holy Spirit... if HE leads you to get on a place and go to Florida: OBEY HIM... if He tells you to wait and be patient, then you OBEY HIM.  Holy Spirit moving in Florida is same Holy Spirit that resides in the hearts of those who belong to Jesus... the Kingdom of Heaven is within YOU... so that same anointing resides in and upon us. Those who are led by the Spirit of God ARE the sons of God. Judge our hearts Lord so we will not be tempted to judge our brothers and sisters... and grant us grace to WAIT upon the Lord, for those who wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength, they shall mount up with wings as eagles, they shall run and not grow weary, they shall walk and not faint (Isaiah 40:31)

Thank you Lori...

Marjo, I hope what I have said helps. 

Moriah is a name that has stuck with me since I was a child, when I knew nothing about it, from an old western song, "They Call the Wind Moriah".

When I had my first son, I knew all long that he would be a son, and the Lord impressed on me to investigate the meaning of the names I would choose for him. That is a long story. So I won't go there, tonight - I guess you see how easily "I go there". hehehehe

15 years later, when I was found to be pregnant with my second child, instead of going through early menopause, for some reason I was convinced that  it would be a girl. I'd run across that mountain quite a few times  in the Bible studying I'd done since my firstborn turned my life upside down, and I still liked that old western song - and I know the Wind is the Holy Spirit, naturally, so I began to research the name in earnest, and it is not as easy as some - many Westerners tend to think some old Hebrew or Greek NAMES are NOT "WORDS WITH DEFINITIONS", like a lot of Western names seem to be - but that is never the case.  So I just kept digging. In the process, I found that a lot of older research books, especially pre-1970's, are the best and most likely to have unabridged definitions - even Websters.

Then, when I finally found it was exactly what I would want to name my daughter - wouldn't you know it - I had another son - I don't understand.

Now, one is 30, and one is 14, shy of 16 yrs difference by 2 months. Yet in most ways, almost as identical as twins, yet the youngest has a flair that is most uniquely his very own. Well, so does the oldest, for that matter. SO LOL!

What they are like is like well, they should have been twins, but God knew I couldn't handle both of them at the same time, so He gave them to me one at a time - and that is a comment I get from other people, who don't know I feel that way.

The oldest got "western" names, and that is who he is, and was before I met him. But they have the same implications as Biblical names that I would have used could I have found quite that definition. Had it narrowed down to several names when he was born - but one look at  him and it was like, ok, here is his name, are you going to call him by his own name, or try to impose your own ideas on him? It's been like that with him ever since!

The youngest has three Old Testament Names, who were not stinkers in their youth, but known for obedience to God all their lives.  I had an inkling he would need a triple stamp, and bless the Lord, that inkling did come from Him. 

Well, folks, I was so very blessed by the Lakeland Outpouring, tonight! Praise the Lord!

Shalom blessings to you all,

Ginger

jaketribble,

I just love it. Absolutely! Following Jesus and looking over His shoulder into the Future - yes. And being changed from glory to glory into His Image, as we do so! Being made into what HE would have us to be, as we keep our eyes on Him.

AMEN!

Lori, I really appreciate what you have written. The other day I was saying to the LORD, ‘LORD, this [the Lakeland events] is not what I have been waiting for’.  With some despondence, I went further and said, ‘LORD, this is not what England needs.’  [We need something even more incredible, even more purgative, even more holy and dreadful (in it’s truest sense)]

I so appreciate what you have shared.

And, Kriston, I so appreciate this . .

“We are in no position to judge the faithfulness of another servant of the Lord in a public manner apart from a clear directive from the Lord. I do not know the heart of the people in the "revival" as the Lord does, and I dare not assume anything about them, or think they are less in understanding or relationship with the Lord then I.

But, I can measure what I see by the Spirit against what I have been given clearly by the Lord as revelation and understanding of what His purposes are for this day, and His purposes for the working of His Spirit among his people.”

Both of you, Lori and Kriston, are allowing some of us to say, ‘Hey, I am not absolutely bowled over by the Lakeland stuff – I think I’m looking for something more and deeper and more awe-full.  BUT, that doesn’t mean I'm a naysayer, or wholly opposed to what is going on, or blind to the fact that God is moving in the lives of some individuals very profoundly.’

So, to both of you, thank you.  The Lakeland events need not divide us into 2 camps, and you have made that gracious path a little clearer . . .

Blessings,

Hi Lyn,

Thanks I'm alright ~ I had a time of discouragement ~ I'm sorry I had all my teeth pulled up on top and had to get a denture~ yes the day before the pulling of my teeth I was in so much pain I was having a hard time and I should not have spoken~ My apartment is okay until the end of June ~ then I ahve to pay another hundred or so dollars or have to move ~ yes it's been tough but I walk by faith and I'm sorry I was in so much physical and emotional pain that day I should have just stayed on my knees and kept quiet `Please forgive me~  My teeth are out~that pain is gone and I feel better and stronger ~sorry~
