Report
on the Lakeland Revival by
Mark Virkler
A mighty healing revival is continuing which began a few months ago
in Lakeland, Florida. To get an overview of what is happening, you
can read an excellent
MSNBC
Article about the Florida Outpouring. And if you click on the
first hyperlink in that article, it will take you to the main
website of the keynote speaker, Todd Bentley. At this website you
can watch live nightly streaming video of the revival. Many have
been healed as they have watched from their own homes.
I know Todd Bentley personally, having ministered with him at
Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship. He is a good man, full of
integrity and seeking after God intensely.
He has written an endorsement for a book I have written, and the
book was actually inspired by Todd himself. I heard Todd share of
how he spent months alone with his Bible and the Holy Spirit. He
would look up all the verses in the Bible on the Holy Spirit and
pray over them, asking for the Holy Spirit to grant him revelation
concerning the verses, and concerning how the Holy Spirit would work
in his life in the way the verse was describing.
So in my book Intimacy
with the Holy Spirit I have listed hundreds of
verses about the Holy Spirit, encouraging people to pray and journal
about these verses, seeking divine revelation concerning all the
marvelous ways the Holy Spirit can be experienced in your life.
Some of the pastors from Love Joy Gospel Church, our home church
here in Buffalo, have gone to Lakeland in the last few months and
come back with some incredible personal healings which are described
on the church’s website at www.lovejoy.org.
Click on Revival News Reports and scroll through a couple pages of
amazing testimonies to find a video of our pastor’s wife, Janet
Zack, being healed of Multiple Sclerosis. Plus, in the last several
weeks, the revival has broken out in our church and ongoing
miraculous healings continue to occur.
Below
are a couple of emails I received in the last two weeks…
“I had a marvelous experience at the Lakeland meeting Sun. night.
It’s outpouring to the Nations thru TV/Internet. They were praying
for the dead to be raised (19 recorded to date) e-mails were coming
in from all over the world at real time pace. This is not a show--
it is God!!!”
Love & Gratitude, Ken & Esther
“The Holy Spirit’s anointing from the Lakeland meetings still
manifests strongly in our apartment when we watch and enter in to
the worship and prayers. I myself was healed in my throat of sleep
apnea by the Holy Spirit a week and half ago as I was watching the
meeting on God TV! I used to snore and stop breathing at night,
would feel lousy in the morning, and had to wear dental prosthetics
in my mouth and a strap around my head to keep my tongue clamped
down at night and to keep breathing while asleep. NO MORE, PRAISE
GOD! I sleep like a baby now! Thank you, Jesus!”
Blessings, Dr. Gary Greig
Bill
Dupley, a Certified
Communion With God Facilitator, was touched by the effects of
the Lakeland revival and got into an extended email dialogue with me
about vision and healing this last month. I have posted the entire
7-page back and forth dialogue and the journaling we
both did about the issues (download
here -- this is a Microsoft Word document that
will either open directly in Word, or you will need to download and
save it to your computer and then open it).
There have been a number of
criticisms against this revival, so one of my spiritual advisors,
Dr. Gary Greig, has written a theological defense of the Lakeland
revival which is available
on our website for free downloading. This is a scholarly
dissertation, and is designed for pastors who need assistance in
theologically understanding why what we are seeing is good, and of
God, and is biblical. So please download it and pass it around as
widely as you can.
Also, if you find yourself having trouble accepting the move of
God happening in Florida because the vessel God has chosen to use
has tattooed skin, please prayerfully consider the teaching on this
website.
John Wesley used to pray in great earnestness, “O
God, send us a revival without fanaticism if You can, but if not, in
any case send us a revival.” Are you willing to pray
that prayer and mean it?
This just in: Florida
Outpouring Receives Endorsements and Oversight - Includes Chuck
Pierce, C. Peter Wagner, and More
Todd surely does not come complete with a 3-piece suit. He was
saved out of a drug culture and his wineskin is different than many
in the past. However, Jesus speaks clearly about the need for new
wineskins. Folks, this revival is of God. Spread the good news.
Jesus is being glorified and souls are being saved, healed and
delivered.

Mark’s new book has sparked in me a new
hunger to say once again: ‘Holy Spirit, I want to know You
more.’ I know that as you study the work and the person of
the Holy Spirit laid out in the pages of this book, and as you
begin to ask the Holy Spirit questions, you, too, are going to
discover a new level of the manifest presence of God in your
life. The Bible will come alive; an unquenchable hunger for
more of God will arise in your heart, and you will experience
an overflow of miracles, signs and wonders. As the Church
prepares for the greatest revival to ever hit the earth, every
Christian and every student of the Word and Spirit needs to
have an encounter with the person of the Holy Spirit. This
book provides an open door for you to begin glorious communion

Testimony
from a missionary who was transformed by watching the “How to Hear
God’s Voice” DVD series EIGHT times and then journaled
for 90+ days straight!
“I was a pastor in the States for 8 years before coming to the
field. I was a left-brained teacher who had been introduced to the
Holy Spirit the ‘long way’ and who also had asked everyone, ‘How
to sense your spirit?’ I received the same answers you did! And it
left me wanting.
“I believe Father allowed the journey in East Asia to lead us
to a place of desperation which was easier to accomplish outside our
culture since we had no props to depend on. When I found a copy of Communion
With God on a book table in [an Asian country], I read
the back cover and resonated with what was being said and bought it
along with Patti’s book on the same subject.
“I read them both probably with my mouth open the whole time. I
had finally found someone who spoke my language. It was so
refreshing to have a guide that was gifted as a teacher to lead me
into discovering how to locate the Spirit and know His voice.
“I ordered the
DVD series and watched it 8 times! I began to journal each day.
I had never journaled more than 3 consecutive days in my life. I
believed Father for one page per day as I began. When I reached the
90th consecutive day of journaling I was greatly encouraged and in
awe at how the eyes and ears of my heart had been opened and I could
now tune to the flow of His Spirit daily…..words are inadequate to
express the joy.
“The greater joy has been in training my disciples to hear His
voice at the beginning of their spiritual journey with no need to
struggle through the desert searching for how to hear His voice.
Your work and faithfulness is being multiplied here in East Asia
among 1.4 billion people. I join you in your vision to see this
message communicated throughout the earth.
“The Best Is Yet to Come, (Friends of East Asia)
“(Because we are in a Security 3 zone we have to ask you please
keep our names and location anonymous…..our safety, our national
contacts and other companies we work with are all in jeopardy if we
are exposed…thanks.)”
Laughter
Is Healing to the Bones – What it means to be free
The Fourth of July weekend was coming up, and the Sunday school
teacher took the opportunity to tell her class about patriotism.
“We live in a great country,” she said. “One of the things we
should be happy about is that, in this country, we are all free.”
One little boy came walking up to her from the back of the room. He
stood with his hands on his hips and said. . . . “I'm not free. I’m
four.”
