More Todd Bentley and Florida Outpouring

Okay everyone in the internet world, here is another up date. If you’re new to my blog, welcome. If you are new to the Florida Outpouring you may be asking, “what is this about?” The answer is simple; God has shown up in power and it is spreading around the world. There are voices that are chiming in on both sides of the “debate,” but I say look at the fruit and line up with scripture.

I have yet to see anything that cannot be backed scripturally happen on the God TV broadcast. I, like many of those who speak against Todd, have NOT been to Lakeland Florida nor have I ever seen him live. I can not therefore speak to what it feels like there. I can not speak to what happens before or after the cameras are turned off. I am not hunting his past. I am not searching his early teaching and messages for inconsistencies (though I have seen several of his DVD teaching and the message seems to be consistent; his image has changed but the voice is the same). I am only watching what is being put out now. If you want to know what I have seen read my previous posts.

Tonight I saw testimony after testimony of salvation. I will be the first to say the fruit is nice, but what is the point? What is the point of laughter, shouting, running, falling out, tongues or even healing? The point is salvation. A power encounter with the Holy Spirit will force people to admit there is a God and make a decision on what to do about it. Tonight the fruit is simple, salvation. The fruit is there, I ask anyone reading this who disagrees to answer two questions:
1) Why would the devil give Jesus credit?
2) Why would the devil help people give their heart to Jesus?
I can not find a reason for this.

I am now challenged to go do the stuff. I have watched long enough. I have seen, one, born deaf child healed and I am determined to reach more. The time of the harvest is now and I am now going to work the field.
