I believe that the revival is a genuine move of God with all its mixed bag of apples: flesh and the spirit, divine and the humane, wheat and tares, light and darkness. It's clear that God will look beyond our petty doctrines which only cause divisions and does what He does best: show humanity how much He loves them and how much He cares. What is so offensive about it all, is the calvalier antics and circus like atmosphere that is sometimes displayed along with some very unwise interjections (like allowing personal prophecies to be spoken or read during the telecast). Alas, we all have so much to learn. I would not however, label the entire movement as false. If satan has stepped into this movement, and I believe he has, then he is working equally on the side of those who so narrow mindedly criticize and justify their views with out-of-context scriptures and doctrinal bias. In the face of it all, Jesus' preistly prayer that "they might be one" shall prevail.. For a great read check out "A Step Into Deliverance" by T. Pugh. It is a riveting autobiography about one pastor's journey into the deliverance ministry. A real page-turner!

Just allow God to speak to you and you will be fine. Always a danger in following a man. Alot of Pastors have people who follow them and when they on vacation, people stay away. Have seen this to many times in the past. Donna would say you are using the gift of discernment here. Just allow God to speak to you and you will be fine. Always a danger in following a man.

Seems here we keep addressing how one should not focus too much on a man and his teachings, but more on the word of God. But these teachings are quite cunning and powerful, and just by following them, in my opinion, is where the danger lies. What I'm trying to say, and I'm not sure I'm doing a very good job, is that one can say they don't follow someone in particular, and probably they don't. But this ministry itself is what can destroy a human being. My opinion of course.
