Florida Revival?

Thanks for this Peter. Those of us who have been around KF for any length of time will immediately identify with a reluctance to call this revival. I suspect it is not (at the moment anyway)! It does seem to be a 'time of refreshing' though, which we all need to understand will also attract the flesh, and of course be attractive to the flesh. Without the element of repentance and holiness what is offered is 'experience without cost'. Hopefully there will be leaders with discernment, who have learned from Toronto, and who will be willing to forsake their seeking after experience this time in order to channel any anointing/glory to the world, to those who don't know him but need to. So I'm not sure i'd go as far as Rob Hoskins below, but I share some of his concern.

Hi David,

Thank you for copying me into this email string. For my part, I am trying to keep an open mind in all of this – not wanting to ‘throw out the baby with the bath water’.

Since the good Lord has condescended to work with fallible human beings, there will always be an element of our humanity and anything God does through us.

Watching and praying……

Every blessing,

Peter

I see no fruit of real revival- repentance, humility or an ingathering of the lost. Signs and wonders can be a result of revival, but not the reason for revival. The emphasis on dramatic demonstration, personal prophesies, personalities and angelic encounters as opposed to the study of the Word, repentance and individual and community transformation leaves me little doubt that this has more to do with emotional hysteria then true revival. This is distracting the church from its Great Commission and is a sign of the narcissistic nature of the American church.

Matthew 12:39 "He answered, "A wicked and adulterous generation asks for a miraculous sign!"

Matthew 24:4 "Jesus answered: "Watch out that no one deceives you. 5For many will come in my name, claiming, 'I am the Christ [anointed one]' and will deceive many."

Matthew 24:10 "At that time many will turn away from the faith and will betray and hate each other, 11and many false prophets will appear and deceive many people."

Matthew 24:23 "At that time if anyone says to you, 'Look, here is the Christ!' or, 'There he is!' do not believe it. 24For false Christs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and miracles to deceive even the elect—if that were possible. 25See, I have told you ahead of time. "

Colossians 2:18 "Do not let anyone who delights in false humility and the worship of angels disqualify you for the prize. Such a person goes into great detail about what he has seen, and his unspiritual mind puffs him up with idle notions."

2 Cor 11:13 "For such men are false apostles, deceitful workmen, masquerading as apostles of Christ. 14And no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light. 15It is not surprising, then, if his servants masquerade as servants of righteousness. Their end will be what their actions deserve."

Hi Rob,

Hope that you are all doing well.......please see email from John Glass (General Superintendent of the Elim)..........if you could let us know your thoughts that would be great....!

Every Blessing,

David.

Dear Friends

We are receiving a number of calls to the Office here from Pastors to ascertain what our position is on the meetings that Todd Bentley is having in Florida.

My view is that our leaders are sufficiently mature to reach their own conclusions on matters of this nature without the issuing of a 'party line' from Cheltenham.

However it would be remiss of me not to draw attention to the disquiet that is arising in the minds of many leaders around the world with regard to the documented comments that Todd is making about his interaction with personal angels and particularly one called Emma who 'floats a few feet off the ground and provides him with lots of money' and his assertion that he visited the Apostle Paul in a cabin in Heaven who told him that he had solicited the assistance of Abraham in the writing of the book of Hebrews.

On a more positive note, a remarkable series of meetings continues much nearer to home at Kensington Temple where William Lee, who had been booked for a short series of meetings has now cancelled his diary until the end of the year. Meetings attracting hundreds of people are being held every night of the week except Monday and 700 decisions for Christ have been recorded with some of the most remarkable healings and creative miracles that we have heard about are taking place.

Yours in Him
