Miracles Continue at Florida Internet & Satellite Revival
From guest ChurchWatch blogger, Julie Gillies, at The Florida Outpouring:
God continues to astonish hundreds of thousands with miraculous healings and His manifest presence, as The Florida Outpouring marked its 43rd day, gaining momentum and stoking the fires of healing revival worldwide.
Noting the vast TV and Internet coverage of the event, Todd Bentley declared, “This thing is about to become the biggest thing that I believe we’ve ever seen. It’s historic. Many other television networks are now carrying the God TV feed, and we are about to go into the entire nation of Canada via the Miracle Channel.” The crowd of 6,000 cheered in response.
Todd’s voice bellowed through the arena, “I just got the confirmation that tomorrow night, (Thursday, May 15th) this revival, for the first time in history, will be on nationwide Arab TV to 350 million homes via The Spirit channel in the Middle East!” His hand waving in the air, he proclaimed, “This is a media revival, so it will literally cover the entire globe - live, every night - every nation of the world! We’re battling principalities by the airwaves!”
Remarking on the diversity of the crowds appearing night after night, Todd stated, “We don’t care any more if we’re black or white. I’ve met people here from the Church of England, Catholic priests, French monks, and every other denomination you can imagine. They have already come to receive the fire of God! I feel like a man with a whole lot of Holy Ghost gasoline and my job is to just pour out a little more!”
After a glorious hour-and-a half of worship, the first altar call was given – for anyone from the nation of Germany and then for those from Cape Town, South Africa.
Following that time of prayer, Todd announced he would pray for all those with reproductive organ problems such as cysts, tumors, miscarriages, infertility and STD’s. Hundreds came forward and stood at the altar as he prayed for the crowd.
Soon Todd began calling out the names of various diseases and conditions that God was going to touch and heal. Dozens of people immediately lined both sides of the altar to give testimonies that the power of God had indeed already healed them.
A woman named Robin, who said she had a golf ball-sized tumor in her thyroid, was among the first to appear on the platform. “I felt something moving in this area.” She said, touching her throat. “What did you feel come over your body?” Todd asked her. “I started feeling ‘raining down electricity’” she told him. The tumor was gone!
After that, a man named Eric came forward with his wheelchair and a cane, wearing a back brace. “This man had M.S.” (Multiple sclerosis) the altar worker announced.
“Did you feel something go through your body?” Todd asked him.
“Yes, I felt electricity go through me so I stood up and came up here.” Eric said.
Todd then told Eric, “Take off that back brace.” So he did.
“How long have you been in that wheelchair?”
“Three years.” Eric answered.
“How do you feel now?” Todd asked.
“I feel excellent! I feel better than I’ve felt in the last 20 years!”
“You just decided to get up out of the wheelchair?” Todd said, spinning toward the crowd in amazement. “Now that’s faith!”
A woman wearing a brown leather jacket came forward next. The altar worker explained, “She had multiple cysts and the power of God hit her – she’s fixed!”
Todd looked her in the eyes. “You had multiple cysts?”
“Yes.” She answered.
“Where?”
“All through this arm,” she told him, holding out her left arm.
“You can’t feel any now?” Todd asked her.
“None.” She declared.
“Check again.” Todd told her. “You don’t feel the pain? You can’t feel the lumps?”
The woman shook her head. “No. Before you couldn’t touch it, it was all up and down my arm and in here.” (Indicating armpit area).
“How many cysts did you have?” Todd asked her.
“The doctor said multiple cysts, all underneath here.”
“Jesus!” Todd said, gently touching the woman’s forehead. The woman collapsed onto the floor.
Next an altar worker approached Todd declaring, “This is one for the record books! This man had a stroke and was just released from the hospital last night.” Todd was then handed several sheets of paper and told it was the doctor’s report. “And this,” the altar worker said, indicating a satchel filled with medications, “Is the medication he used to take.”
“Oh my…look at this, we have a case of medicine here!” Todd said. “You took all this medicine?”
A man wearing a red T-shirt nodded his head and said, “I took 38 pills a day.”
Handing the medical report back to the man, Todd asked, “What is this?”
“I had a stroke – and I couldn’t remember even my own sister. And I also needed a heart transplant.”
“What happened to you right now?” Todd asked.
The man shook his head, “I don’t know.”
“Which wheelchair were you in?”
Pointing down toward the floor, the man indicated his electric wheelchair, “Right there.”
In amazement Todd said, “You got out of that wheelchair – you just got out of the hospital from a stroke yesterday, couldn’t remember your sister’s name, a bag of drugs, you took 38 pills daily... He doesn’t even know how he got healed but he steps out of the wheelchair and is standing up on the platform! Bam! Jesus!” Todd touched the man and his friend on the chest – both collapsed.
Todd then announced, “Some of my First Nation friends (Native American) from California and British Columbia are here tonight. Some chiefs have come with their wives to receive this anointing. I’m telling you, it’s going to break out in a mighty way amongst the reservations.”
A Native American woman stood before Todd’s wife, Shonna, and told her, “I receive you as my sister from the Carrier nation. I’m the former tribal grand-chief of the carrier in British Columbia, Canada. And I call forth the impartation of the First Nation (Native America) blood from within you. I call for the Ancient of Days through those ancient gates, those everlasting doors, to release His ancient anointing to deal with ancients strongholds in this hour.”
Bob Jones declared that as the First Nations people have blessed us, now we must bless them.
