All of us have been hurt to varying degrees so that "word of knowledge" would probably have applied to 90% of that congregation.
I think there is a lot of pressure on these "word of knowledge" preachers to come through at these special meetings / revivals and sometimes it may be their human observations coming through more than some Divine revelation.

I'm not running down anyone who is skeptical, I've only been in 2 meetings in 2 different states where Bro. Pierce was preaching, I've never been to Ms. So, I want you to know I'm not from anywhere close to him. But I have to say Matt 13:58 says "And he did not many mighty works there because of their unbelief." Bro. Pierce was very specific at my church. My brother was new to my congregation and had not talked to our pastor about his baby's situation, but I know the baby was life-flighted the month before to Salt Lake City because she could not eat without throwing up. The only thing that she could somewhat keep down was glucose water. So Bro. Pierce said "this baby needs a touch of God, in her stomach, because she is not digesting properly, and needs a touch of God, "she's a fat baby, but she cannot eat properly, God is going to touch her, she can go home and eat anything she want to! We took her home, she ate toast, jelly, cereal, milk, kept every bit of it down, and we praised God, not Bro. Pierce!! I can go on multiple times about each and everything that was specific, and has come to pass. I agree one cannot put their faith in men. But, God spoke to our congregation, he told our congregation "he can let us down, but God never would! I can attest, God never has!!" I see many people here commenting on a ministry they have not partaken of, and those who have seen him were in doubt that God opperates this way for us today. I must agree that the church does not need a regular diet of this, again we have seen him once in our church in 21 years, but it doesn't lessen the experience of what God did in those 2 services for us.
