Can Revival Keep You in Egypt?
Recently I have been hearing reports of an apparent revival in Lakeland Florida. Although I have not yet visited there - planning to in the coming months - I have found myself seeking the Lord as to its true nature.
I am a supporter of revivals - especially if they are of God. I never attended the Toronto Revival, but believe it was of God, as it changed many people lives, and I personally know some of those involved.
I did attend the Brownsville revival, and although it effected many people, I have concluded that it was not likely a true spiritual revival.
When I heard about this new revival, I visited the official Web Site for the ministry, and found something disheartening - at least from my standpoint. On their website is a link to make a donation entitled "Sow seed..."
Although I can not find any specific information in regards to what they actually mean by "Sow Seed", I am concerned that this "revival" may not be real.
Why? Because I wonder - can a true revival today point you back to Egyptian thinking? That type of revival is operated by the Pharaoh spirit, and is designed to keep you happy and content in Egypt, rather than on focusing on your journey to The Promised Land.
"We remember the fish we ate in Egypt at no cost--also the cucumbers, melons, leeks, onions and garlic."
Num 11:5 (NIV)
The Israelites wanted to go back to slavery - where some things appeared to be free, and more fun, and less work - but still as slaves to Pharaoh. And today I wonder - are we flocking to this revival because we want to feel good, while remaining under that Pharaoh spirit, or is it truly God at work in our midst?
Are we willing to press forward to win the high calling - The Promised Land - regardless of the temporary struggle, or do we need to feel good while we determine to remain tied to financial slavery?
Do we want true freedom in Christ, or the care and concern of a dictator?

Bill-
Yes, the light of God and the Holy Spirit did shine upon you ! God is revealing your sin to the entire cyber-space world. God did not call us to "be stwards of things" but rather servants to Him, and obedient to the Commandment to bring the "Gospel Message". You deliver a message of prosperity "give to get". You show this car on your site...this proves where your heart is and will be. You have been brought away from the truth by "tares" among you. This "phase" in your life will sone end and the result will be; like all of His followers, asking for forgiveness for OUR pride and sin. However,I pray for you that you turn from this end-time twisted message of what true prosperity is. Which is Holiness before the Lord !

Unfortunatly, your comment shows how little you actually know. Our message is not based on "give to get". At least not giving to us - or to any other minstry
.
If you'd like a free copy of the book - so you can actually read it and learn what we're saying - I'd be glad to send you one - just email me with a request.
At least this way, you'll be able to attack me, and tell me I am sinning based on an actual knowledge of our message, rather than just seeing a Benz and getting your panties all ruffled.

Brother Bill,
This is not an attack on my part in any way; nor, do I need to read your book.I have attented your web site before this new construction. I know as Christians, we are always "under construction" until the Son of GLory appears; and we shall be like HIM. However, Your message is a dime a dozen to all the other "prosperity" teachings rising up in the laast days. Getting the eyes of the Church off the true riches, Jesus Christ and the "Salvation Message". Jesus came...to seek...and save...the lost. Simply put ! If there was an attack on any part, it was your immature response. I tell you this...You were on the right path a few years ago, you have been deceived ! Your heart beats to the same God, but Bill, not for HIS PLANS he has for you.
With all Scencerity,
Rev. Kelly R. Brown
