The Homeless In America 2008-07-21 15:11:00 This has been on my heart for a very long time. It’s about the way many people view the homeless in the United States, and how people often treat them as non-persons. There are people working in social services and Christian ministries helping the homeless; yet harboring contempt for them and entertaining stereotypes. I wonder if such people help the indigent just to make themselves feel better, Read more:America
Going To Third Heaven On Steroids 2008-07-16 05:52:00 Ran across this article last night, and from all indications, the author is likely associated (not sure however) with the new prophetic movement. However, he appears very grounded on many issues regarding third heaven experiences. Nor does he discount the supernatural power of God. It did my heart good to see it, as I wonder how many of the apostolic prophetic sort question anything. I do not know Read more:Going

Believing God While In Pain 2008-07-14 03:10:00 I have been believing God for the past year and a half, for healing of a terrible condition known as "Trigeminal neuralgia". I do not write this for sympathy, but to be of encouragement. Pain will drive people to do things they otherwise would not do. It also deeply influences how a person interacts with other people. It can be hard to believe for healing when pain is racking your body, because th Read more:Believing
In A Twink Of The Eye 2008-07-12 05:19:00 Bentley has now taken a rest from the Lakeland revival, and God TV which was foremost in announcing how important it was to carry live coverage; expressing how they would just have to wave all programs and sacrifice etc, and etc, ...are going about a new song and dance today.The ABC Nightline Website now states:UPDATE: After this story aired on "Nightline," Fresh Fire Ministries released a stateme
Don't Miss God 2008-07-11 04:47:00 You know, going through comments on blogs and other sites, I notice something about the people supporting Bentley and this revival. They protest opposition to the apostate with mental reasoning and new church buzzwords, like "open your mind", "you gonna miss God", "this is a move of God ("jihad"), "mighty miracles are being performed"--stuff you hear from people who are not even of the Christian f
Video--NAR and Lakeland 2008-07-10 06:09:00 Another video. Ties the New Apostolic Prophetic Movement to the "revival" in Lakeland Florida.I know at times my words seem rather harsh against the new apostles and prophets. The healing revival at Lakeland Florida has brought about a discussion of a possible "civil war" in the church. However, looking in the New Testament, conflict between those in the Church is nothing new. It is imperative to
Fool’s Gold 2008-07-07 14:19:00 The new age apostolic prophetic apostate are rallying around the Lakeland healing revival, and this is no surprise; as they indeed conceived it, initiated it, implemented it, and continue to orchestrate it. As time passes, and these self-appointed false apostles and prophets respond to “criticism”--- so the time now comes to pull out their “apostolic prophetic bibles”, and twist the Word w
A Few Things On Abortion 2008-07-05 06:41:00 The Word is clear that life is precious in the sight of God. Humanism has eroded the thought processes of men and women concerning unborn children, and this philosophy attributes more rights to the mother than the unborn child. This belief system is more prevalent among college educated adults, but astonishingly some who profess to be Christians are also pro-choice. For nearly 15 years, I concurre
Dangerous People 2008-07-03 06:28:00 No. I am not talking about the alley ways in your city. I am talking about false prophets using new age methods. Yes, God gives visions, but He does not crank them out by OUR demands, but by HIS way--in His own sovereign way. They have been handed over to new age demons and demonic experiences/visions. Stay away from these people and stick with His Word. Funny, in the video they talk of smelling v
Twisted, Blind, And Arrogant 2008-07-01 10:45:00 Galatians 2:11-1411 But when Peter was come to Antioch, I withstood him to the face, because he was to be blamed.12 For before that certain came from James, he did eat with the Gentiles: but when they were come, he withdrew and separated himself, fearing them which were of the circumcision.13 And the other Jews dissembled likewise with him; insomuch that Barnabas also was carried away with their d Read more:Twisted

Rude, Crude, And Biblically Unacceptable 2008-07-01 06:00:00 Let's see. Hmmm. Tis time to give a Smith Wigglesworth performance, doth numbers in the crowd may drop otherwise.Please pray for this man healing. Jesus still heals and delivers today. God has never stopped performing miracles. You do not have to pay for it, and you certainly do not need an "impartation" straight from Hell. Read more:Crude
Bad Character And No Integrity 2008-06-27 19:53:00 Proverbs 20:17Bread of deceit is sweet to a man; but afterwards his mouth shall be filled with gravel.I was visiting a forum recently which was talking about charismatic witchcraft in the Church, and my mind went back to the ministry I once served. On this forum, primarily for prophets, people were accounting some of their experiences with manipulative pastors and church leaders. One woman dealt w Read more:Character

A Prophetic Vision 2008-06-27 08:52:00 As received via email by revivalschool.com today:JOEL's ARMY & GIDEON's ARMY - A VISION-by Robert I. Holmes.There is a commonly held belief in the church that the army of Joel and the army of Gideon both represent the same end time, militant and victorious church. My intention here is not so much to examine the theological foundations of such arguments, but to share a revelation I had recently whi
The Lines Are Drawn 2008-06-25 13:56:00 The Lakeland Florida revival has brought much controversy and several issues affront to the Church. For that part we can be thankful; as false prophets have abounded there like a dime a dozen and have become visible as a swarm of locusts. I know a “prophet” who personally lives there and supports the revival, and I wrote to him recently pointing out some of the error, and urged him to repent a Read more:Lines
Holy Lives And Compromise 2008-06-25 07:35:00 I believe when someone becomes born again God begins to immediately deal with them on certain things. How you view things begin to change as well. I began to examine my life to see if there was any way unpleasing to the Lord. It was and it is His Holy Spirit within me which fostered these changes. It was not myself in my own efforts, yet it took a decision on my part to yield to Him and implement Read more:Lives

Come and Get “Some” 2008-06-24 06:20:00 Come and get “some”? “Some” of what? Who is “some”? You cheap hucksters, could you be talking about the Lord God Almighty, the King of Kings Himself?Come and get “some”…BBQ? A piece of whoredom? Something sexual? He is a Holy God. Holy. Not a “some”. “Some” is not part of His character. What you charlatans speak of in this revival is not Him. The “some” is you. Theref
A Few Facts On Bald Eagles 2008-06-21 14:29:00 Thought I would lighten up a bit and change the subject matter. I am someone who really appreciates the things God has given to us through nature, and I like looking at nature photos. In the animal kingdom, I particularly like bald eagles, as they are so majestic, so regal, and downright tough! One day, when all things work together, I plan to go to Alaska. From what is seen of it through videos a
Manifest Sons of God & NAR Falsehoods 2008-06-21 08:00:00 I will not go into detail why I aligned myself to a particular apostolic prophetic network about 5 or so years ago; but I would like to present a word of caution for all who are contemplating supporting or volunteering for any ministry. Do your homework on the ministry and its alliances. Also, because someone "seems" more spiritual, and more "mature" in the faith; simply does not make it so. I nev
New Age Apostolic Prophetic Groups 2008-06-20 14:45:00 Given the healing revival recently in Lakeland, Florida, it is time to write of some of the things the new apostolic prophetic leadership types are advocating. As I said before, not all of them advocate new age techniques, but those following the tenets of the New Apostolic Reformation theology; you had better watch out for such! Already, a choice has been made to follow man-made doctrine over the Read more:Groups
The Florida Outpouring--Led By False Prophets 2008-06-17 08:34:00 Watch and weep for those caught up in this. Pray our brothers and sisters will break free, and turn from this demonic scheme. The Lakeland revival is instituted and ran by false prophets, it is a demonic facade by the enemy, AND IS GROSS ERROR! Do not listen to their lies--they will lie and say you are religious, and that you are putting God in a box. THESE PEOPLE ARE THE NEW RELIGIOUS SYSTEM AND Read more:Florida
Touch Not My Anointed 2008-06-15 13:16:00 If you believe in Jesus Christ, the anointing abides in you. His Spirit lives in you.I John 2:26-2726 These things have I written unto you concerning them that seduce you.27 But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shal
Prophetic Word-The Church Of The USA... 2008-06-13 05:09:00 "THE CHURCH of the USA will be FILTERED BY DECEPTION"-given by Steven Dobbs (U.K.), 2005.I received this from the Holy Spirit in early summer 2005. The Lord showed me that there is going to be a flood of deception* infiltrating much of the U.S church in the near future, (the gift of discernment of spirits is therefore going to become increasingly important). Why the Lord will allow these deception Read more:Church
Extra Sensual Perception 2008-06-12 07:45:00 Most people reading this blog are born-again Christians. That is you have likely made a decision to accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior. A decision was made and you were translated out of the clutches of satan’s kingdom unto the Kingdom of God:Colossians: 1:12-1412 Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light:13 Who hath Read more:Extra

Exploited: Seed Time And Harvest 2008-06-10 08:10:00 Subject: Seed time and harvest. This concept has been exploited to the hilt. A yoke is being thrown around too many people’s necks, and is inducing uncertainty into the hearts of people and down right manipulation by unscrupulous teachers. Yet, some are so deceived, they really don’t know they are manipulating people; they just follow after their deceived mentors.II Timothy 3:13But evil men an Read more:Harvest
Florida Healing Outpouring 2008-06-09 17:16:00 Just read this article today about the healing revival in Lakeland, Florida
. I think it is well rounded and goes into a bit of history too about how some of this revival came about. Another thing to note, is how the major players are very connected together as you read various articles. Again, it is the Word of God along with His Spirit which will give us discernment when it comes to dealing with Read more:Healing
An Insider's Warning--Lakeland 2008-08-05 14:33:00 Although this has been out on Youtube for a while, I just now viewed this series on videos from Andrew Strom. It is worth the time to see all five in sequence, and Andrew Strom did a great job on articulating the error we see in Lakeland Revival, and history on the new prophetic movement. If we do not want the counterfeit and we really should not, we must learn to wait on God on His terms. Links Read more:Insider
Fully Fanged And Out Of Place 2008-08-03 18:09:00 Most out there, particularly Americans, know about this so-called “Christian group”. There is some wacky hate group comprised of the Westboro Baptist Church members, located in Kansas which shows up at veteran’s funerals (and also apparently Hollywood funerals) yelling obscenities and derogatory statements while the families weep at the gravesides. What a witness. They also have a hate site Read more:Place
Apsotle Leaves ICA Over Lakeland Revvial 2008-07-31 19:57:00 Last week I wrote about an ICA (a C. Peter Wagner organization) apostle by the name of Robert Ricciardelli. He has apparently left the organization and has seen through the lies and lack of integrity of those involved in the Lakeland Healing Revival. I applaud this man for his courage and for his integrity, and he will likely be one to hear "Well done, thou good and faithful servant". *I do not kn
Not Perfect... Just Forgiven 2008-07-28 13:25:00 My sister was with me recently as I went about doing errands, and I was telling her about a particular t-shirt I was wearing. I told her before we went into a Walmart how every time I wear this shirt, people stop and inquire about it. On this shirt is a form of a cross, and letters which state “NOT PERFECT… JUST FORGIVEN”. We went into Walmart and before we could walk five paces with our ca Read more:Perfect
