PERSONAL UPDATE FROM TODD BENTLEY

Dear Friends,

As I write this, just two hours ago at 2pm the Glory fell on me; I’ve been weeping and praying about what is happening here in Florida. I honestly have never felt such a manifest presence. People are saying they feel the glory 10 miles away from the meetings, it’s that tangible. And based on how absolutely electric the meetings are going, one can only imagine what will happen tonight and in the meetings to follow. Along with many other leaders, we pray that this is the next wave that we have all been waiting for.

I just spoke with Bob Jones again and he told me several things. First, he was not expecting that the glory would fall this soon. Second, Bob said the angel, “winds of change,” is bringing the change NOW, and that this outpouring would break out internationally. He said this outpouring, the very tangible healing anointing, is for the world and would go everywhere. [God told me that every night in the meetings I was to impart it to ministries, and as I write this, several hundred pastors, evangelists and ministries have already come.] Third, Bob said, and I agree, we have never seen such notable miracles. [Distinctively, scars and burn marks have been removed from bodies, and there are testimonies coming in of cancers, tumors, deaf ears, diabetes, lupus, autism, and a vast array of other sicknesses and diseases, all being healed. I’m talking hundreds of healings so far! There are dramatic salvations, and heavenly visitations especially coming to the children.] Fourth, Bob said that our interns would become “doctors,” quickly, and take this to the world, and that our associates are needed to spread the fire. [Since many associates are in the meetings here, right now, if you would like to book any of these associates to bring the fire and revival to your city, church, or ministry, call the Fresh Fire office: 604-853-9041 or go to our website http://www.freshfire.ca/ - www.freshfire.ca   and check out our associates under “Associate Ministries.”]

Please read the following letter and comments from Denny Cline, one of our real friends and fathers, who pastors the Vineyard Christian Fellowship of Albany, in Oregon.

Also, another report follows below given to me today by John Arnott, who is currently in Hawaii right now with Che Ahn, Bill Johnson, and Heidi Baker.

Before closing, I want to invite all those who are really hungry and praying for revival, to come get some! You can also watch what God is doing in Lakeland on GOD TV or live on our website nightly at 7pm EST at http://www.freshfire.ca/ - www.freshfire.ca

We are here through April 27th and willing to stay longer. I also welcome any comments you might have about what you believe is happening.

In Revival,

Todd Bentley
 

Please also read a Prophetic Word given to Todd over three weeks ago while he was ministering in Australia by a pastor from New Zealand ... The word given describes an outbreak of Revival in 4 places with Lakeland Florida being one of them. The pastor who gave this word had no idea that Todd was going to be holding meetings in Florida!

FROM DENNY CLINE:

     From the beginning of this year the Holy Spirit has been impressing upon me to have us both prepare and plan for revival. And from that time there have been signs that God is visiting us and the His people in the US. In a fresh way. We can't afford to miss this opportunity for something special to happen for our nation and us. My hopes have been raised even more as I now know it was God who spoke to me last summer to tell Todd Bentley that he was about to have another visitation and another launching. I invited him to our conference on the ministry of angels held early in February. We heard a sound in the Spirit and decreed the release of the host of heaven for revival and harvest. There was clearly warfare against the promise for Todd, as he was prevented from crossing the border to attend our conference.

     The next week at the airport on his way to Phoenix, he was questioned again but let through. His assistant looked through glass and saw three angels behind Todd.

     But God is faithful. Something fresh began to happen the next week in Phoenix at a conference called "Raising The Dead" with Patricia King. I attended and witnessed the increase and notable miracles begin to break out. Then Todd came to Lakeland Florida and was visited by an angel Bob Jones calls the "winds of change". He said this is a high-ranking angel over all the ones assigned to healing, breakthrough and revival unto harvest.

     Over the last three weeks here in Lakeland there have been amazing miracles, a glorious presence of the Holy Spirit and many coming to Christ. This outpouring is increasing at Ignited Church pastored by Stephen and Janice Strader. They have a heritage in outpourings, as he is the son of Carl Strader who hosted Rodney Howard Browne. God used Rodney as a catalyst for the renewals that birthed extended outpourings of the Holy Spirit through other vessels in Toronto Canada and Pensacola Florida. There were many other powerful times of visitation and refreshing that are not as well known, including our own region in the Northwest and in Albany.

     This fresh outpouring is a new level and has the potential to awaken the whole of North America and other nations in need of revival. Todd was with us in Albany, Oregon and sparked a healing visitation that spanned from July of 1999 to June of 2000. There were hundreds of healings, miracles and salvations during that year time frame. There have been hundreds already in just three weeks in Lakeland. I lamented that we ran out of gas and were unable to sustain it. But the Lord spoke to me in an elders meeting the next year that He would come again with another outpouring and it would be ten times greater than before. I had no idea what that would look like except to believe that signs, wonders, miracles, healings and salvation would be the fruit of it. Now I realize with the way the internet and media in general has developed that people can experience an outpouring and even be touched by God through the media and communication available.

     People have watched the meetings from all over the world already on web cast and now will be able to have it in their homes through God TV, which can potentially reach 400,000,000 people. That is staggering when you think about it. It would take many pages to write the testimonies coming in just three weeks of meetings from what is happening in Lakeland at Ignited Church. But you can view them on Fresh Fires website each day as they are updated. Every night Todd ministers and every morning the pastor or others do. And every service people get set free, changed, and saved in an awesome atmosphere of the presence of Jesus Christ.

     We should all be praying and hungering for this outpouring to get to the body of Christ at large and into the streets and everywhere outside the walls of the church. For it has the potential to become a great awakening that brings thousands and even millions to Christ as God pours out His love and manifest the kingdom of heaven in healings, miracles, and an invitation to receive Lord of Glory, Jesus Christ.

FROM JOHN ARNOTT:

Todd, you need to keep going in these meetings as long as the Lord is moving. I feel that this is a prophetic sign that another wave of revival is coming to North America. If you remember, the laughing revival was released in Lakeland via Rodney Howard Browne. Randy Clark went to one of Rodney's meetings in November 2003 in Tulsa and came to Toronto in January of 2004 and it all broke out here. So, the meetings starting again in Lakeland could mean that revival gets another fresh start all over the world!
