LAST NIGHT IN THE BIG TENT Roy Fields and Todd Bentley took the platform for the last meeting in the big tent at the Lakeland Florida Revival Healing Outpouring.
The crowd pretty well filled the one tent but the second one was not needed as the crowds have decreased somewhat in recent days. It is anyones guess how this many people are going to be accommodated in the Ignited Church where the meetings will be as of tomorrow night.
It seemed tonight that Todd remembered what the meetings were supposed to be all about, and that is the Presence of the LORD. That has been lost in recent weeks as a performance mindset seemed to have taken over the meetings. They were no longer the spontaneous meetings of the beginning where the worship was known to last for three hours or more, as people just enjoyed fellowshipping with the LORD.
The meetings had become governed by man made timetables just like any man orchestrated event. Worship time was predictable, followed by announcements, followed the collection, followed by the guest speaker, followed by a time when the Holy Spirit was expected to do the supernatural!
Just like the organized 'church' we are all perishing in!
Tonights meeting was much like the early meetings, more time was spent waiting on the LORD. Time was spent 'on our face' during the time of worship. There was no long 'message', there was of course the collection which is much needed as finances seem to be an issue. ( I think will be resolved when the meetings are once again given back to the Holy Spirit)
There was a steady stream of people testifying of their healings either tonight or from the past. Tonight was as close to the first meetings as it has been for well over a month. And it blessed everyone who experienced it!
Pray that Todd and Pastor Strader and the others in leadership will take their hands off this Revival and return it to the Holy Spirit. As He is the ONLY One qualified to lead a revival.
Now, don't go getting all critical of either of these men or others as a revival such as this brings with it a whole host of administration problems which tend to rob leadership of their time alone with the LORD and before you know it they are operating in their flesh trying to solve a whole bunch of problems. While they are doing this, their time with the LORD is stolen from them.
JUST CONTINUE TO PRAY THAT WHAT THE LORD HAS BEGUN AT LAKELAND FLORIDA WILL NOT BE ABORTED BY MEN.
PRAY THE EYES WILL BE OPENED OF CHRISTIANS WHO ARE OPPOSING THE HOLY SPIRIT AT LAKELAND FLORIDA AND THAT THE LORD MAY BE ABLE TO CONTINUE TO BLESS HIS CHURCH AT THE LAKELAND HEALING REVIVAL OUTPOURING!
