I would never vote for a guy named Jesus. That is not an american name, That’s like voting for someone name Obama. It just wouldn’t make sense. I’m not even gonna pay attention to his platform.

Gosh, I hate Snellville. I know someone here would say that. I know it.

Since i have used the Hitler analogy, I will ask you if you do not think that is valid or perhaps what would Mr Claiborne opine about it ?

Comment on Pentecostals and revival by Matt Hardy

I would totally agree with Graham Cooke. I would say that for there to be true revival, it needs to change people outside of the church and affect the culture around us. I would say that there are (and have been) many “moves of God” or “outpourings” but in my personal opinion, I feel that until these outbreaks touch and change the world around us in a real, tangible way, I’d say that it mightn’t be “revival”.

I guess I’d say that for me, God can move but if the people in the midst of the move don’t change and affect others around them, I wouldn’t call it revival.

That being said, I was down in Lakeland for a week, and it was amazing.

The atmosphere was charged with the presence of God, and the focus was completely on the Lord when I was there. Every service started with about 2 hours of worship, where oftentimes the crowd would worship the Lord spontaneously. Some people would even get healed in their seats during this time. No one would pray for them, they would just get healed, and you’d see that section of the stadium erupt as the person began praising the Lord and testifying right there of what He’d just done.

How did I know that people were getting healed without anyone praying for them? Good question. A fair question, even. Becase I was standing right beside one woman who had this happen.

Good for you - for praying for revival and contributing to what is going on there today!

Comment on Pentecostals and revival by Jonathan

The above comment has a great point, though I think it is a bit more of a blanket statement than I would make. I believe there are deep wrongs that exist with the way American Christians look at revival, just like there are deep wrongs with the way American Christians look at a lot of other things.

However, I don’t think we can write off these episodes of revival, including the various things that have happened in Lakeland, Pensacola, Toronto, etc. as having nothing good to offer. There are major issues. Major problems. But there is work of the Spirit that has happened in all of them.

In any case, the great point that the above comment makes is that we need reformation. Massively. Our way of seeking the Spirit needs to be deconstructed, because to a large extent it doesn’t work.
