Revival in Lakeland, FL?
Lakeland Revival Attracting National Attention The Tampa-Bay Tribune is reporting about a series of revival meetings that were supposed to last 5 days but have lasted a month and are gathering thousands of people daily. They are moving from a church building to community center to now the spring training home of the Detroit Tigers: Joker Marchant Stadium. These meetings are characterized by miracles and healings. The evangelist is Todd Bentley of Fresh Fire Ministries from Canada. Here's a report of the kind of thing happening there: Young Girl Goes to Heavenly Surgery Room; Receives Healing From Crippling Diseases Blogger, church planter and pastor, Steve Hickey gives a good rebuke to those like Hank Hannergraf (mentioned in the Tampa Tribune article above) who are standing in judgment of what is happening there. |

I'd be a little more excited had I not seen the same thing so many other times. 10 years or so ago it happened in Modesto, CA, where "70,000 people accepted Jesus" in a series of meetings that were supposed to last a weekend but went on for months. And truly, a lot of people did come and many probably made commitments. Problem was, a year later the average church attendance in that city was almost exactly the same as before.
Hmmmmm ... you know Dan, your point is well taken. Why isn't all of Toronto saved after the outpouring there? It's a good point. And obviously it's also true that it doesn't make it any less of a move of God.
[heavy sigh]
But the thing is ... that stuff never happens in my neighborhood or any place within several several states of my neighborhood. I'd love to see the chaos come to upstate New York for awhile.
A MOVE OF GOD IN LAKELAND
Iam raising my voice with the Saints who recognize the move of God and are acknowleging it.GODIS MOVING THROUGH CRUSADES AND OUTREACHES LIKE THIS .TO GIVE SOME OF US A LAST CHANCE."HE THAT HAS EARSET HIM HEAR".
