I spent the day with my family and some friends at Carowinds Amusement Park.  While there, I received some insight for the upcoming generation of young people, whom God has chosen to carry His glory.

            A long line eagerly awaits the thrill of experiencing the fastest, most daring adventure ride in the theme park.  For two hours, the group at the front has been watching as others have flown by, taking the leaps and curves with astonishing speed.  Finally, when their turn arrives to slide into the seats, they notice four young people coming up the side stairs.  A park attendant rushes over to undo the chain across the employees’ entrance.  He welcomes the youth, ushers them to the cars others have been waiting for and places them in the seat others were about to load.  The line watches as the kids take off on the adventure they have waited so long to ride.  As the line mutters “No fair”, the park attendant apologizes, telling them the owner’s children always get first priority.

            Guess what!  You are like those owner’s children!  You are about to take off on the most exciting adventure ride the earth has ever seen!  While others have eagerly awaited what you are about to experience, God has chosen to give it to you!  The King of kings is getting ready to bestow power, prestige and privilege on your generation like never before.

Gifts will be poured out on you; these gifts include supernatural favor, signs and wonders, creativity, provision, and leadership positions.  Another Renaissance is about to explode as God releases creativity upon your generation.  Through you, He will demonstrate Himself to the world. 

            Jesus wishes to co-labor with you to bring His kingdom to earth.  He wants to train and equip you to take dominion, subdue the earth, and rule and reign over it for eternity.  Side by side, you will bring forth His Kingdom purposes.

            Preceding generations have been crying out for this kind of outpouring.  They have been praying for God to pour out His Spirit on them, to release signs and wonders, and to show Himself through them.  God has been answering those prayers in steps.  He has been restoring the five-fold ministry to the Church one at a time.  First, God restored the pastoral and teaching gifts.  Next, He brought back the gift of evangelizing.  Then He gave the prophetic gift back to the Church.  Finally, He has been restoring the Apostolic ministry.  With God’s grace and His five-fold ministry in place, He is preparing to show His Church as a shining light to the world.  God wants to do that through you.

Before we went to the Lakeland Revival, my sons watched it on God.tv with me.  My youngest son has been telling me he feels called to be a pastor.  The night before we left he had a dream that he was raising people from the dead.  He asked me if I thought he could do that.  I told him he most certainly could.  He carries Jesus inside him and He can do anything Jesus can do.  I am so excited when my children are on fire for God. 

When God walked this earth, He raised the dead, cast out demons, healed the sick, caused the blind to see, the deaf to hear, and the lame to walk.  The resurrected Son of the Living God comes to live in each of our hearts when we accept Him as Lord of our lives.  He is the same yesterday, today and forever.  If we carry Jesus in us, we ought to be able to do the same things.  I believe the Lakeland outpouring is the beginning of these miracles happening all over the United States.  These same miracles have been happening in other countries but America is so filled with unbelief. 

In a previous comment, Todd Bentley was criticized.  I want to take a stand on that statement by "Anonymous".  No matter what King Saul tried to do to David, David refused to touch him for he was anointed by God.  I personally can vouch for the anointing of God on Todd Bentley's life because I have felt it for myself.  I have followed his ministry for years and been blessed by it. 

Todd Bentley has been willing to pay the price every day of his life since he was saved to spread the gospel of Jesus Christ throughout the world.  He has been in the most disgusting places, in the filth and the garbage, loving people and giving them hope in Jesus Christ.  He has a whole village of orphans he cares for in Africa.  He is not making a penny at the meetings in Lakeland for himself or his family.  He faithfully lays hands on ten thousand people nightly because God has told him to.  He cares more about the ones who receive their salvation at his meetings than he does about the healings, which are absolutely incredible - and hundreds are coming to Christ. 

There was an incredible story on a podcast about a men's prison in Africa who have made Todd Bentley their hero.  While suffering the worst conditions possible, these inmates are still able to watch God.tv.  Through watching Todd Bentley, many in the prison have been saved.  He has been their only hope in a world without any.

Some of the phenomenon that God is doing right now in Lakeland:  Scars are disappearing, homosexuals are getting delivered, drug addicts are getting freed from drugs, kids are getting free from cutting themselves and the spirit of suicide, people with kidney failure are regaining full use of their kidneys, diabetes is getting cured, fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome patients are getting healed, arthrities is getting cured, hundreds of deaf people are hearing again, broken limbs are healed, metal bars, screws, etc, are disappearing from people's bodies and they have regained full mobility, an eyeball came in where there was once a glass eyeball, someone got new eardrums who had been born without any, and gold teeth are appearing in people's mouths. 

Many of these manifestations did not happen in the meetings, instead, they happened in people's homes as they watch internet.  Several from Charlotte went during the first meetings and came back with news about it.  Since then, a revival has been happening there.  A revival has been breaking out in Atlanta and Ireland and England since people have brought back the fire from the Lakeland Revival.  I like the way another reader commented:  Aslan is on the move!  Praise the Lord!

I had to see the Lakeland Revival for myself.  I went down to Florida with my children for three nights.  It was incredible!  Hundreds of people were healed but even better, hundreds of people accepted Jesus Christ.  I wish I was there tonight.  So many people got healed.  Four people came up out of wheelchairs.  Paralytics were walking.  The CBS news media was there.  The news anchor is Christian.  She asked Todd to touch her because she has migraines.  Immediately, she was slain in the Spirit because of the great anointing on the stage.  I know what that anointing feels like.  I walked through it several times.  Todd touched me two different nights.  The fire of God is there!

Jesus is so good!  You can see His magnificent love as blind people see, deaf people hear, captives are set free and brokenhearted receive hope through these meetings!  I hope to go back next month.

I finally got to go see Horton Hears a Who.  I didn't appreciate the little slam against homeschooling at the beginning where the kangaroo is pouch-schooling her joey, but otherwise I liked it very much!

Last year, I read a prophetic word about God using Horton Hears a Who to speak to people about abortion.  So I watched the movie with interest.  After viewing the movie with my boys, I told them how they were once a tiny speck in my womb.  Yet their DNA strands were more complex than volumes of encyclopedias.  Just like Whoville!

The movie caused me to pray once again that the positions in the Supreme Court would not be blocked.  We need godly Supreme Court justices who will overrule abortion!  Our Kangaroo court is spilling blood on the nation because they can't hear the cries of the unborn children.

If we could stand as a united front against abortion and cry out together, maybe the Kangaroo court would listen to us.

I'm grateful for the recent action taken by the senate in South Carolina.  Pregnant women will get a chance to see their unborn child in an ultrasound before making a decision to abort.

Here's an excerpt from Horton Hears a Who that speaks volumes!

Quoted from Dr. Seuss' book Horton Hears a Who: (red color added by Lou Engle)

(Kangaroo - Kangaroo Court - Supreme Court)

And Horton called back, "I can hear you just fine.
But the Kangaroo's ears aren't as strong, quite, as mine.
They don't hear a thing! Are you sure all your boys
Are doing their best? Are they ALL making noise?
Are you sure every Who down in Who-ville is working?
Quick! Look through your town! Is there anyone shirking?"

Through the town rushed the Mayor, from the east to the west.
But everyone seemed to be doing his best.
Everyone seemed to be yapping or yipping!
Everyone seemed to be beeping or bipping!
But it wasn't enough, all this ruckus and roar!
He HAD to find someone to help him make more.
He raced through each building! He searched floor-to-floor!

And, just as he felt he was getting nowhere,
And almost about to give up in despair,
He suddenly burst through a door and that Mayor
Discovered one shirker! Quite hidden away
In the Fairfax Apartments (Apartment 12-J)
(12 = government; J = Justice)
A very small, very small shirker named Jo-Jo
Was standing, just standing, and bouncing a Yo-Yo!
Not making a sound! Not a yipp! Not a chirp!
And the Mayor rushed inside and grabbed the young twerp!

And he climbed with the lad up the Eiffelberg Tower.

"This," cried the Mayor, "is your town's darkest hour!
The time for all Whos who have blood that is red
(A connection with the Blood)
To come to the aid of their Country!" he said.
"We've GOT to make noise in greater amounts!
So, open your mouth, lad! For every voice counts!"

Thus he spoke as he climbed. When they got to the top,
The lad cleared his throat and he shouted out, "YOPP!"
(Young Ones Praying and Prophesying)

And that Yopp...
That one small, extra Yopp put it over!
Finally, at last! From that speck on that clover
Their voices were heard! They rang out clear and clean
And the elephant smiled. "Do you see what I mean?...
They've proved they ARE persons, no matter how small.
(I believe the crux of the Abortion issue is the deception
from satan that says the unborn are not people at all.)
And their whole world was saved by the Smallest of All!"

"How true! Yes, how true," said the big kangaroo.
"And, from now on, you know what I'm planning to do?...
From now on, I'm going to protect them with you!"
And the young kangaroo in her pouch said,...

"...ME TOO!
From sun in the summer. From rain when it's fall-ish,
I'm going to protect them. No matter how small-ish!"

A woman with 52 infirmities was completely healed a few nights ago!  She had been bedridden for 12 yearrs and was on a breathing machine.  While she was at home watching the Lakeland Revival on GOD.tv, she began asking God to have Todd Bentley call out her name.  Suddenly, he began calling his assistant by her name three times.  When that occurred, it raised this woman's faith for her healing.  That night, she had a vision of Jesus appearing at her bedside.  He told her He was setting her on an operating table.  She said she was operated on all night long.  The next morning she was completely healed.  In fact, she traveled to the revival and came on stage and showed the world what God had done for her.

God is revealing Himself today in the same way He did when He walked this earth.  Everywhere Jesus went, He taught and preached and healed every infirmity and disease wherever the people accepted Him.  Once again, God is demonstrating Himself through demonstrations of signs and wonders. 

In Lakeland, Florida, hundreds are being healed in the services held by Todd Bentley at Ignited Church.  In the past 24 days, over 300,000 have attended the meetings.  So many people have come from all over the world to be a part of this revival that they will have change their venue.  The current meeting area can only 900, so they have two overflows with screens set up.  The rest sit in the parking lot.  The other night, Todd said he had personally laid hands on 125,000 so far.  But the healings that are occuring to those who are watching on internet and television are even more amazing!  The glory of the Lord is flowing into houses all over the world through GOD.tv's airing of the nightly meetings.  Even more amazing were the healings that took place as people at the revival called every sick person they knew and prayed healing for them on their cell phones.  The testimonies were amazing!

A couple from Massachusetts had traveled with no money to the Lakeland Revival.  They had been sleeping in their car.  The woman with 26 infirmities was forced to sit in the parking lot because she could not get inside.  Todd Bentley saw her in a vision and asked someone to bring her in.  Not only was she healed of all her infirmities, Todd asked people to give her money.  The area around her was a sea of green as money was being tossed on stage.

The best part is that I'm traveling there this weekend.  I would go to the ends of the earth to be in the Glory.  I don't have to go too far, though, it's just a day's drive away.  My family and I are so excited.  We are meeting my mother, sister and nieces there.  I want to bring an impartation back.  At night, I see visions of myself reaching out and touching every sick person I see.  Glory!  

If you want to watch, GOD.tv airs the revival nightly from 8-11 eastern time.  It can be found on the internet at GOD.tv.  It's 369 on DirectTV.  Be warned, though!  Todd Bentley is not your average evangelist.  The young man is heavily tattooed and adorned with facial piercings.  But when I look at Him I can only see the eyes of Jesus.  God will use any vessel who is hungry and has become sanctified and holy!  Even those who haven't attended seminary school or high school, for that matter!
