This was forwarded by Randy Clark. It is a 55 page defense of the activities of the Lakeland outpouring. Here is a selection from page 5:
Normative New Testament evangelism is accompanied by God’s power
A simple perusal of the following passages shows that true biblical revival always involved word and deed, the preaching of the gospel alongside people ministering and experiencing (not just talking about) God’s healing and miraculous power: Matt. 4:23; 9:35-36; 10:1, 7-8; 11:5; 12:15, 18; 15:30; 19:2 (cf. Mk. 10:1); 21:14 (cf. Lk. 21:37); Mk. 1: 38-39; 2:2, 11; 3:14-15; 6:12-13; 10:1 (cf. Mat. 19:2); Lk. 4:18; 5:17, 24; 6:6-11, 17-18; 7:22; 9:1-2; 10:9, 13; 13:10-13, 22, 32; 14:4, 7ff.; 21:37 (cf. Mat. 21:14); 16:15-18, 20; Jn. 3:2; 7:14-15, 21-23, 31, 38; 10:25, 32, 38; 12:37, 49; 14:10, 12; Acts 1:1; 2:22; 3:6, 12; 4:29-30; 5:12-16, 20-21, 28, 42; 6:8, 10; 8:4-7, 12; 9:17-18 (cf. 22:13), 34-35; 10:38; 14:3, 8-10, 15ff.; 15:12, 36; 18:5, 11 (cf. 2 Cor. 12:12; 1 Cor. 2:4-5); 19:8-12; Rom. 15:18-19; 1 Cor. 2:4-5; 11:1; 12:1-11, 28-31; 14:22-25; 2 Cor. 12:12; Gal. 3:5; Phil. 4:9; 1 Thes. 1:5-6; Heb. 2:3-4; 6:1-2; Jas. 5:13-16.
Indeed Paul said in Romans 15:18-19 that only the proclamation of the gospel that is accompanied by healing, signs and wonders, that display the power of the risen Lord, represents a full proclamation of the gospel: Rom. 15:18-19 (NIV)— I will not venture to speak of anything except what Christ has accomplished through me in leading the Gentiles to obey God by what I have said and done— by the power of signs and miracles, through the power of the Spirit. So from Jerusalem all the way around to Illyricum, I have fully proclaimed the gospel of Christ. [italics and boldface mine]
Read and be blessed.

I went to Ignited Church back in June of Last year and blogged about it. Here is a little thing I did not write. At the end of worship a young guy from the church came up to me and commented on our vibrant worship. He said,
“That’s the way to worship.”
I said to him,
I thought, “Get some? What in the world does that mean?” I then told the guys who went with me the same story. Again I wondered why in the world I would reply with, “Get some!”
Kind of funny how that is now the catch phrase at the revival. I am not ordained a prophet but I declare things by the Spirit.

Here is the piece that CBN did on the outpouring. I personally know one of the women that were interviewed in this piece. I visited her in the hospital and had a word of knowledge about fibromyalgia. She was later diagnosed with the ailment. That was about five years ago. I have never seen her move like she is moving in the video.

I just got word that Todd Bentley is confirmed for the Heart for the Nations conference this week in Pasadena, Ca. On the conference website, David Tomberlin writes:
“…some have wondered if Todd and I are even going to be able to make it out but I can assure you our flights are booked and we are ready to come. In fact just today Todd was speaking to a major prophet on the phone regarding us being out there and that prophet is now planning to come! Todd and I are excited about spreading the Fire in California!!”
The conference is this week but I think it would be doubtful that Todd would be there Wendsday night since Bob Jones and Bobby Conner are going to Lakeland. If you are in the L.A. area and are going, please send us a report!

This is a really good post about Lakeland. Patsy got sent to Lakeland by her folks and tells her tale. What I really like about the testimony is that she did not say that Lakeland is a Panacea for all things ministry. Instead, she knew God was moving and she prepared herself to not try to receive from Todd, but instead receive from God what He is doing there. Here is a quote:
During the service, I went out an shared with the vendors who were working the food stands in the stadium. I was amazed at how open they were. I just shared the love of Jesus with them and invited them to come and experience Him for themselves. The amazing thing to me was how open the people in Lakeland are to the gospel. I talked to one girl there who has led over 1,000 people to the Lord since April 2. ONE THOUSAND SOULS! If that doesn’t excite you, you need to get saved.
Yes, there were miracles. Yes, people got out of wheelchairs. Yes, it was amazing. The response of the crowd, though, was to the presence of the Lord. The stuff was great, but what was the most awesome was the fact that the Lord was there in such intimacy. He was showing His great love to people by healing their diseases.

I have heard people ask why Todd does not take his gift out of the church and into the streets. I have seen it written that he only sees these manifestations where he has whipped the crowd into a frenzy and there is some sort of mass trance.
You gotta love youtube!

Here is what I would like to see at the Florida Healing Revival with Todd Bentley in Lakeland:
Misty Edwards singing “Only a Shadow“ Kari Jobe, Klaus Khuehn, and Rick Pino leading worship together one night culminating with Rick singing Mighty Warrior. Reinhart Bonnke preaching one Saturday service at the airport with a mass evangelistic call culminating in him releasing evangelists into the harvest. Heidi Baker to bring a team of Mozambican children to preach to really offend the religious. Todd to leg drop any big name TBN preacher for the same reason. Jentezen Franklin preach “The Spirit of Python” Me calling down fire.
Anything you want to see?
note: This is not a place for critics of the revival. Your posts will not be published.

Before Todd came to Florida he received a prophecy in New Zealand. Here is a video of it:

The Florida Outpouring has made it to the front Page of Lakeland’s newspaper.
“Tumors are going to be pulled right out of people’s bodies tonight. … Someone has a growth on their face, on their neck, a woman in this room right now. Put your hand on your face. It’s being burned off by the fire of God. … Somebody else uses an oxygen mask, and the Lord’s touching you tonight. God wants to open your lungs,” he said, while pacing the stage.
A line of people formed at the foot of the stage. Bentley’s assistants talked with them before bringing them up to Bentley, who asked a rapid-fire series of questions of those who approached him - “What are you feeling? What’s happening? Can you move your arm?” He labored over several people who said they had hearing problems, shouting at one, “I command this deafness - go! - in Jesus’ name” and asking, “Can you hear me now?” Responses varied from uncertain to yes.
I went there Saturday night and my report will follow but let me say this, this thing is real.
Here is a video the secular newspaper has on its site:
