Anyone been affected by the Lakeland Healing revival?

[Wolfgirl]

I want some!!!!!!!!!!!!

Healing that is! Bring it on Lord!!!!!!!! whooooWhooooooooooo!

lol, there was a thread about it in _chat a few nights ago.

But, yeah, sure, I'm up for some healing, ta very much.

oh, Id be interested to read it. Hope it was positive and not neg. I'll hunt it down tomorrow.

It wasn't very positive - was a thread asking for opinions, and most of us were fairly skeptical. But I know people who are very enthusiastic about it all and have been to Dudley.

Part of me would be up for going, but a big part of me is mighty reluctant and wary.

Are you a Christian KH? I am, but equally - like you have held some skeptisism. However, the more I have watched and tuned into what is going on, the more I am assured that this really is a move of Gods power and Holy Spirit.

There are some things I dont care for.... but I CANNOT allow such trivial things from stopping me beleiving that God is on the move, that revival is happening and people are being healed.

We live in such a godless society, imo, where people hold no faith. And that is up to each individual. But when you have had experiences with God, and have been in His presence... and man alive!!! you KNOW when you are in His prescence - then it is hard to deny that He exists and is a God of love.

But please! I cannot explain tragedies such as China, or Burma, or the evil in mens hearts to murder, or abuse.... it pains me dreadfully, I swear, my faith has been tested many a time becasue of this. I cant stand the hurt people go through and have to suffer. I cant stand to see friends die of cancer so young and leave babies behind... and yes I do question WHY!!!

I have no answers. But I do believe in a good God. I believe the answers may come when we read His word - the Bible, and follow Christs teachings. Read the scripture and see Gods heart. Then pray and meditate and listnen for Gods voice. God moves through our circumstances, and brings things together for the good - even when we have done the most terrible things.

Im not sure Im explaining myself very well, but Im up for the revival, and if Im fooling myself and whipping myself upto in mindless hysteria.... well you know what. So be it. Id rather be in mindless hysteria searching for God and being in His presence, than on a street corner knocking cider back, or watching Eastenders night after night after night....

Yes, Wolfgirl, I'm a committed Christian. I wouldn't have said my reluctance was based on trivial stuff - I couldn't care less about Todd Bentley's tattoos (I think mine are nicer ), or if he shakes his head from side to side and all that.

But I am a bit worried by the sight of people hobbling along stage, having got out of wheelchairs, still twisted up with whatever disability they have, some of them saying the are still in pain, too.

I don't know, some of the stories sound impressive, but they're one among many that don't at all. I'm very interested to see some more details about the resurrections I've heard about.

But I'm sure I heard a testimony of an epileptic who was convinced she was healed and was going to stop taking her medication. That's potentially fatal and would be a dreadful witness.

I would like this to be true and real. I'm just not remotely sure it is. And besides, I haven't heard much of anything about the gospel - just lots and lots about healings. But even people healed will die one day. They surely need to be trusting in the grace of God, through faith in Christ and what He did on the cross, don't they? I wish the focus was on that, really.

I sound like a right misery, don't mean to.

But there are many times when people have gone up to testify and they have tested things out, someone even took photos of his uneven legs - knee lower than the other - before and after sort of thing.

No. I think it is right to be cautious especially when abandoning medication. But equally we do need faith. yes?

I have Chronic Fatigue syndrome, and tbh just about a million other ailments. And I want to be free of it all. I want my life back, and I am in faith that God will sort me out.

oh and re the Word. Yes, TB has said that it has been difficult to preach because of what the Spirit is doing. Testimony after testimony etc. But he has given the Word, and Ive heard it a few times. I dont like that he shouts though.... trivial eh, but still. The Word is definately preached, but the viewing is from 9pm - start off with worship, and goes on way too late for me. I go to bed about 11pm now, but DH stays up till the early hours. and he has been sleeping on the sofa to watch it.

utter madness. But Id like our church to have a coal of fire. In fact two our leaders have gone out there, and I cant wait for them to come back and impart healing. I cant quite get to grips with touching the TV - even though they say it is a media revival of healing. LOL but heck, there has been way too many testinomies from people worldwide for it not to be true.

Im staying with it, and asking God to raise my faith levels. Im no board for this ride... WooooWhooooooooooooooooo
