From ChurchWatch reporter, Julie Gillies:

What began on April 2nd as a short visit by Todd Bentley, founder of Fresh Fire Ministries, to Ignited Church in Lakeland, Florida has exploded into an ongoing and indefinite healing revival. The venue has changed four times in order to accommodate the expanding multitudes of people arriving from around the country and the globe. At current press time, the revival is scheduled to remain at The Lakeland Center through Thursday, May 1st and will move to Joker Marchant Stadium in Lakeland for services Friday, May 2nd through Sunday, May 4th.

Wednesday, April 30th, was the 30th day of what is now being called “The Florida Outpouring”. Bobby Connor, of Eagle View Ministries in Bullard, Texas proclaimed that the fire and healing power of God is “Contagious, transferable, and will not be diluted but distilled.” He went on to say, “Jesus said ‘Greater works than these shall you do.’ God is proclaiming Psalms 66:5 – ‘Come on, take a look and see what I can do!’”

Todd Bentley declared, “This is a media revival. The miracles will be so profound; we won’t have to be ashamed of the media coverage (this time). Because the only news to report will be Good News!”

With great authority and radical faith, Todd Bentley then called out the following words of knowledge (and many more) to those in the congregation, those watching on God TV and viewers on the Internet:

“God is healing a heart condition; a new kidney is being created; a new liver; a blood condition is being healed; a chemical imbalance; a tumor…cancer is coming out of your body right now in the name of Jesus; eyesight is beginning to clear; blindness; deaf ears are beginning to pop; crippling rheumatoid arthritis is being healed – get out of your wheelchair and walk! A stroke is being healed; M.S. is being healed; someone in a wheel chair, someone on oxygen. Release that anointing against terminal sickness and terminal disease, God!”

Todd proclaimed to the crowd, “People are being healed. Take your miracle! Take your miracle! There is healing in this place! Receive it! Receive it!” The crowd was invited to pray for one another, and Todd remarked that the Body of Christ was beginning to move in healing.

After more worship, Todd asked people to move in the anointing – to do something they could not do before. “If you can do something you couldn’t do before, come down to the platform.” Dozens of people left their seats and headed toward the already jam-packed front, displacing worshippers who didn’t seem to mind making way.

The following are but a few examples of the dozens of people who testified that they were healed on Wednesday night by the power of God:

• Kara: She has a degenerative disease in her spine, chronic pancreatitis, M.S., lupus, and needed a liver transplant. She has used a wheelchair since October 2006 for long distances. Doctors told Kara her vertebrae are literally chipping away. She was told that the deterioration would cause her to remain permanently in the wheelchair soon. Todd called out all 5 of her ailments, one right after the other. She felt electricity, walked across the platform and now has no pain.

• Pastor from Eagle Pass, Texas: Had tremendous pain in right knee. He actually required a knee replacement but the power of God went through him, and his knee was totally healed. “I came for the fire.” He said with tears streaming down his face.

• Lynn:  – Lynn works for Todd (she helps with the press) She has had multiple cysts for years and they are now gone! Todd asked, “How many tumors did you have?” She did not know, but suffered a miscarriage and the doctor suspects the reason was the numerous tumors. To Todd’s great delight, she reports that CNN is currently on her cell phone, on hold because she is testifying that God healed her! Todd declares, “I’m ready Larry King, I’m ready Anderson Cooper! Come on!”

• Vickie from Alaska: Had right knee and right hip socket severe pain. She felt great heat come over her entire body. The power of God touched her and all the pain left her body!

• Diana: She was in a severe car accident – rolled her car 5 times at 65 mph. She suffered a compressed fracture of the right foot, left arm, an injured shoulder, an aneurism in back of her neck, and twisted intestines. This woman had chronic pain and used a wheelchair for most travel. She even took a pain pill just to make it to the meeting. Suddenly she felt the peace of God and the pain is completely gone.
