Though I don't have first-hand witnessing of the actual revival, I know some who have and some others who have commented with convictions concerning it as I'm sure you are very aware (e.g. heresy/cult-hunters). since you haven't had the liberty to reply to some of the comments from the people who commented on this post, I thought I should drop in one more thing for you to come back on, which is something another brother has written on the topic and perhaps you can provide an informed view pending his discerning comments @ http://adrianreynolds.blogspot.com/2008/06/lakeland-real-revival.html<BR/><BR/>What think you?thesentonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04445493429378557300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5235229.post-85903948067922800442008-05-29T13:32:00.000-07:002008-05-29T13:32:00.000-07:00When I was reading posts on lakeland revival..I ha...When I was reading posts on lakeland revival..I had the same feeling as you Jaeson. So some questions was raised in my mind..I was a little puzzled..and you have answered them. I think the real revival is NOT only about sick being healed, is NOT only about signs and miracles being performed. It is about life transformation. It is about our personalities and our attitudes toward each other to be more and more Christ-like. Sometimes, it is through our physical limitation God's glory can be shined.

The body of Christ needed discernment in NT times as it does today. We need to be careful to not throw the baby (thirst for more of God) out with the bathwater (particulars of this ministry). We also need to not stoop into accusation of motives but pray for purity, authenticity and true revival - and that, with whatever Biblical trappings that entails.

I have many friends joining a church that practicing the 'grace gospel'. well.. i dont really know their doctrine.. but when i read their blogs.. i dont really agree with their attitude etc.. and my church also doesnt agree with it. I believe in my leader, and my cg leader told me many things about it but still, it leaves me with wonders and questions because they (my grace gospel friends) are very blessed.. they love Jesus even more.. they speak in tounges etc.. <BR/><BR/>And also, there is this Nigerian pastor called Pst T B Joshua, who heals like pastor Benny, but my pastor said he's not from God or . Because the way he heals is very 'strange', weird and controversial, he does things which Jesus didnt do. but once again, so many people get healed,.. and dangerously he was invited for a crusade in my indonesia church.. (my sister's church). when i say a lot of things to them, they will say that because its a 'competitions' between my church or my pastor with other church.. which i believe is not true.. <BR/><BR/>so i'm very confused sometimes.. <BR/><BR/>you dont have to publish it =D.. haha<BR/><BR/>Please email me in ninin_p@yahoo.com =D ya.. just email me when u have time. =D..

God has reconciled us to Himself for the sake of relationship. He wants His people to be with Him, to know Him. Is it possible that God isn't constantly seeking to "pour out revival"? I just wonder if we've placed this idealized big revival as the highest priority, when really knowing Jesus, simply being with Him, and working where He's working is of the utmost importance for us as His children. Beware of things becoming formulaic; also beware of unbiblical manifestations and claims.elmisionerohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14074413701352196080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5235229.post-38112428540072818842008-05-20T02:39:00.000-07:002008-05-20T02:39:00.000-07:00Lee Grady's comments are some of the more balanced...Lee Grady's comments are some of the more balanced around.<BR/><BR/>So what is God doing? <BR/><BR/>First off, is Todd Bentley a Christian? Of course he is. Is Jesus his Lord. Of course. <BR/><BR/>And no I'm not a big Todd fan. He's odd, very odd. And I would tell him that to his face. <BR/><BR/>God used Jonah to start a revival. Outright disobedience, whale puke, and a sorry attitude (before and after)...and this was God's chosen man for Nineveh.<BR/><BR/>Lakeland's more than likely not "The Big One."

I believe and know of many who have gone to this gathering and have receive healing, encouragement and blessing. Nearly every night many are hearing the simple Gospel and are professing faith in Christ and repenting from sins. Fruit is being born. <BR/><BR/>Yet, as believers we must be careful, watchful and discerning. So it's good to look at both sides of the coin. I pray each of you will discern for yourselves and seek God's truth with an open heart.Jaeson Mahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04363216350320032153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5235229.post-76822110344422281522008-05-19T22:54:00.000-07:002008-05-19T22:54:00.000-07:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5235229.post-8762166234088930862008-05-19T22:34:00.000-07:002008-05-19T22:34:00.000-07:00http://endtimespropheticwords.wordpress.com/2008/0...http://endtimespropheticwords.wordpress.com/2008/05/20/more-lies-cover-ups-deception-paul-cain-todd-bentley-steve-strader/<BR/><BR/>My father once taught me the most valuable values of being a person besides what Jesus taught me.
