I'm sorry you took it that way. That'll never happen again. Oh, OK - apology accepted. The tone of our debate was impacting me - as logical as I can be, I'm still an emotional female, and I can't separate out my emotions from discussions. Perhaps I was misreading your tone. I apologize for this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not trying to belittle you, just concerned for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's not limit God to what we think He won't do, let's try to understand all the He is more than willing to do if We believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am from Lakeland, Fl. and my mother used to attend an assembly of God church there on n. 98. it was pastored by a Karl Strader who resembles facially the pastor strader shown in the link here. the fathers church was called Carpenter's home church. it was a real large fully attended church until a split within the body drained off many of the members into a new church of the same denomination. (i will stop with the family history there.) i say this only as history and not as any type of indictment against the son (?) or his revival. i am always a bit skeptical of prophets and ministries such as this for a variety of reasons, but i hesitate to speak against them because God will move in his way in his time. i always caution against charlatans for a lot of reasons also. i have e-mailed an acquaintance in Lakeland that is the senior pastor in a church not too far from this location and i am waiting to hear back from him. if anyone here is still interested in this topic i will post what he tells me. i have not read all 21 pages here so this topic may have already exhausted itself. (note: this pastor is not a pentecostal so his evaluation will not be such) update: the acquaintance that i mentioned above has not answered my inquiry about the "revival". if or when he does i will bring it to you. i have read alot of the pages between my last visit (page 21-25) and although i see a lot of differences here i have to cast my lot with what "man" was bringing.

This could be said both ways. If one refuses to see it, they won't. No matter the evidence to the contrary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's not limit God to what we think He won't do, let's try to understand all the He is more than willing to do if We believe. Exercising discernment makes me close minded and skeptical? Did I ever say that I can't see the power of the Holy Ghost or that I won't accept what I can't understand? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
