Re: Lakeland Florida Revival?????
 
Question................ How come no one is posting of a great mighty move of God taking place in the Apostolic ranks?? Is this NOT happening where truth is being preached??

If not then I would suggest we all take a visit to 2 Chronicles 7:14.

IF we apostolics have truth, and the Holy Ghost, it would be in our best interest, and the best interest of Gods kingdom, to have healings, miracles, new birth, and sound doctrine. We tend to want to look outside of truth to find God. As Verbal Bean stated years ago, "Why can't we have holiness, and doctrine........ and signs and wonders"

I just think there is not an easy explanation for everything-

But of course since doctrine means nothing anymore, carry on.

Matt, if there is evidence of Jesus being there and doing a good work. Who am I to argue. If Jesus cared what their doctrine was inorder to move there then He must be pleased with it. There is so much emphasis put on the doctrine someone preaches not enough focus on what IS actually being preached. If some one says this is of the devil they are stupid! I am not saying you have but just a general statement. There is no way that God's power is healing and moving with out Him being there. IMPOSSIBLE!

I think this one is drawing so much attention because it has been on TV for about 3 weeks and has grown at a significant rate.

I don't know I am excited because I believe if God can do it for them He can do it for us here in the Central Valley.

LOL... You need to read more of my posts then... close to or over 100 already baptized and filled with the holy ghost this year alone in our church over 160 last yr. More miracles than can count... More things happening than you could ever imagine... Daughter works that are growing by leaps and bounds (Indian, Korean, African, Spanish and others here within the US) Sending out many evangelists out of our church weekly and they are seeing these same things where they are going..Not to mention in the middle of a building project that we will more than likely outgrow before we are even able to complete the new building. We are definitely seeing holiness... doctrine,,,, signs and wonders here! Come for a visit sometime... you will be pleasantly surprised!

Is it that there is no easy explanation, or is it that some would rather look at anything that resembles God in hope, since we do not see any life in the current apostolic movement?

Believe me, I've been there and done that. But if I have to discard doctrine to accept a move of God, I will have left the very thing that saved me.

Thats the same question that I have been asking for many years!

Some are to busy trying to make sure everyone knows thier apostolic, when in reality they are moving away from it.

There is revival in our ranks, but not at this scale in one place...I do not think. When you get a bunch of us together there is too much fighting, judging, and preconceived notions to get it done at times. I am of the opinion that revival will continue to happen other places until we join in unity and set aside the ideas and opinions of each other and focus on God. In my life I have never seen people resent each other the way I have seen some ministers in this movement do. There are the Golden few that almost everyone likes, but beyond them there are too many pointing fingers at others to see their own wrong. REAL revival will not happen until we put aside differences.
