You are referring to Todd Bentley/Fresh Fire Ministeries?

I prefer miracles from God to dead religion, but it is also important to follow the bible. As with anything that involves man, there are probably lots of errors, but the only people that make mistakes are the people that are doing something.

Phil 1:15-18 (GW)

15 Some people tell the message about Christ because of their jealousy and envy. Others tell the message about him because of their good will. 16 Those who tell the message about Christ out of love know that God has put me here to defend the Good News. 17 But the others are insincere. They tell the message about Christ out of selfish ambition in order to stir up trouble for me while I'm in prison. 18 But what does it matter? Nothing matters except that, in one way or another, people are told the message about Christ, whether with honest or dishonest motives, and I'm happy about that.

Yes, I will continue to be happy

Many people saved and healed.

I heard that the numbers of people he claims were saved in that town are greater than the number of residents in that town. Seems a bit unbelievable to me.

Just curious tho about one thing. Would a man of God boast about the numbers of saved people?

was Brownsville real????

the testimonies that came from it lead to the fact it was and is......

thing is, all of them can be real, it is what we do with it after the outpouring takes place..... also are we going to watch what happens? such as with a circus? you know, like the people that say well, i was there and I didnt feel a thing.....

what are we expecting when we show up at service?

how much time before service do we spend in preparation for that service?

remember, service does not mean where we go get fed, it means where we go to serve... if we are going to see what we can receive, we are going for the wrong reason.....

in China, it takes 2 hours and longer for a service to begin once people start showing up, why? cause that is how long it takes for the church to gather.... they do not start coming so that they can fellowship (gossip) before the service, they start worshiping when they first get there.........

other places they spend even more time in prayer and worship.... such as Prayer Mountain in Korea.... 24/7

can we do that?

there was on team, that when the evangelist would travel from town to town, one member of his team would arrive ahead of him, find a quiet place, and begin fasting and praying days before the evangelist would show up..... some times he would find a basement, or rent a room .. .but would go in and begin and remain so undisturbed, concentrating on the Lord....

many people scoff revival services.... why? i do not know, for even the overflow is wonderful.... are they real? well, i do not know 100 %, but the evidence tends to lead to the proof, such as when you look in the nursery, and see the 2, 3, and 4 year olds speaking tongues with their hands raised, and the nursery sitter is baffled as to what is going on, hmmm real> or not real?

i would be very slow to say it is not of God......

will let God separate the tares from the wheat.

I'm always skeptical of these so called faith healers like this guy in Florida and people like Benny Hinn. My thinking is if a miracle cure is meant to happen it's because God wanted it to happen not because somebody slaps me on the head and says "You're Healed".

I'm not saying there aren't people who have healing abilities but I truly believe that the majority of them are bogus money grabbing servants of the devil sent here to lead people down the wrong path.

I dunno.

Can someone explain to me why we need such "revivals"?

I think the term "revival" in the way that we understand it is not really Biblical.

Is it?
