The Lakeland Outpouring: A Winnowing Field-a Place of Separation

Posted at, The Red Sky Warning, written by Bryan Hupperts
In early 1991 I was listening to a tape by Paul Cain describing how God changed his body chemistry so he would not desire women. Most took this as a call to celibacy. I was disturbed by his phrasing and began to pray over what he [...]

Selling (alleged) Spiritual Benefits

ApologeticsIndex has a few thoughts on the topic of seed sowing:
Todd Bentley / Fresh Fire Ministries — Money: Sowing Seed
On his Fresh Fire Ministries website Bentley refer to his Lakeland, Florida, meetings as “The Florida Outpouring.”

Indeed, the website even provides “The Florida Outpouring Desktop Wallpaper.”
As noted, the website also allows you to “Sow Seed Into [...]

Bob Jones ‘word’ from Florida, and “some” back-peddling by Lee Grady

Getting sick of reading ‘the latest’ on this revival in Lakeland? If you are I understand, for I’m getting tired of posting about it. Nevertheless as the Church of Jesus Christ we need to be aware of what is transpiring within the body, and to be alert to possible infiltrations of satan , deceptions, and [...]

Lakeland Revival: Todd Bentley, Bob Jones, and some things to consider

Let me begin by saying, in the last few days I’ve received some pretty nasty letters from those who were angry with me for posting some of the teachings of Todd Bentley; why? Because they believe this revival and Todd Bentley’s teachings are from God. I’ll respond now to those letter with this: In my [...]

Mocking the Holy Spirit

I’ve heard demonically inspired tongues before: its horrible, and leaves a sense of ‘unclean-ness’. It can also make the hair on the back of your neck stand up, because you discern the evil behind it. While I have no scriptural proof, its my opinion that this type of tongues is actually blaspheming God in some [...]

‘Giving an Offering’ or ‘Sowing’ to Receive the Anointing of God

Who said this?
“If an anointed point is made by a minister of the gospel and an associate wants that particular point activated in their life, they will immediately sow into it.
By that I mean, they will run up to the pulpit or the altar—“I want that”—and sow into the anointing in that moment of [...]

God Does Not Endorse An Unrighteous Preacher Of The Gospel

“It is always God’s desire that those who proclaim the gospel be righteous, yet when an evil or immoral person preaches His Word, God can still work in the hearts of those who receive His Word, with commitment to Christ. God does not endorse an unrighteous preacher of the gospel, but, He will endorse Biblical [...]

Fair Play for False Prophets

In this commentary which appeared in the Washington Post last Friday, the author asks an interesting question.
Fair Play for False Prophets by E. J. Dionne Jr.
Do white right-wing preachers have it easier than black left-wing preachers? Is there a double standard?

Those Who Resist

From the Lighthouse:
These are critical days for the body of Christ. We are in the epoch of church history spoken of by the apostle Paul as “perilous times” (II Timothy 3:1). What makes the danger all the more imminent is that not much of the church believes it. Many of us have owned the glorious [...]

The Silly Sheeple Syndrome

Great post at Theology Today: The Silly Sheeple Syndrome. (and a HT to Wolf Tracks for posting the link)
I can’t believe that people are flocking to this so-called Florida Healing Outpouring and claiming this flesh based “revival” is Holy Spirit inspired. Todd Bentley is a false teacher prophet and dreamer of dreams and visions and [...]
