Fresh Fire Streaming Revivals

Fresh Fire Ministries

Is this a "here we go again" like Brownsville or Toronto? Sure seems like it...new faces; same stuff.

Anyone heard of it yet?

John 6:63 It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing.
The words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life.

So many people, so many church leaders. I didn't watch the whole thing, but fast-forwarded to different parts, and didn't see anybody holding a Bible. I don't even think I saw the motivational speaker...I mean the evangelist/pastor...holding one. Interesting.

It blows my mind that so many people think that this is, or should be, the normal Christian experience.

A reoccurring thought:

Rev 22:20 He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

I'm somehow glad that the video won't work for me.

Providence David! I cannot get it to work either: It would "offend" the eyes for us to watch it!

The Lord is kind, indeed. My sinful curiosity led me to a link on the page, though, and I found some older broadcasts. It's absolutely sickening.

The "preacher" actually said at one point that he was giving God another opportunity to work by holding two meetings per day.

There was one part where he called the local pastors up to the stage. He asked the first guy if he wanted to receive an anointing fire (or some similar wording), and then laid his hands on him, etc. I'm thinking, he calls the guy up to the stage, there are thousands of people in the auditorium watching, what's he gonna say..."No thanks..."?

You know, it would have been REALLY funny if he had!

I'm not in a place where I can watch the videos. Are these from the guys who wrote "Fresh Wind Fresh Fire"?

I haven't heard of it. But of course I don't get the Berean Call anymore and don't really follow the indy fundy type sites that are almost exclusively dedicated to exposing error (real and perceived) either.

I heard about this a few weeks ago on a homeschooling forum I'm a member of - the ladies there were pretty much thrilled about the new "move of God" and the "revival" I wondered how long it would take for a discussion of Todd Bentley to show up here.

I've watched some of the videos and done some reading and have come to the conclusion that this dude is scary, to put it mildly! He talks incessantly about his visions and visitations by angels, especially one by the name of "Emma". He struts around the stage bopping people on the head, shouting, "bam!" and they "fall out in the spirit" - something that I've never read about in scripture. True, "Jesus" is given the glory, but where is the proclaimation of the Gospel, complete with a call to repentance? I've also read first hand accounts of these meetings which talk about strange goings on akin to Toronto and Brownsville. I also read that there are reports that some of the people who have received the "annointing" are now beginning to hear voices in their heads.

The statement of faith posted above sounds really good but we all know there can be a world of difference between what's on paper and what goes on in real life.

This is very concerning.

and

Looked like mostly smoke and mirrors to me, not fire from above.

I read up on this a little bit last night, and noticed this pastor had read some of Benny Hinn's book's and that Rick Joiner of Morning Star Ministries was some how connected..

I read some of Rick Joiners material years ago, and threw it in the trash can..

If you read the streaming IM's running alongside the video, those comments are just as disturbing. This is what people believe.

Someone was even WRITING IN TONGUES!!!!
