Confusion is being sown in the Church of Jesus Christ. We ourselves, in our haste to meet publishers' deadlines, or in our haste to correct others and prove ourselves right, fail each other by passing on gossip, or by innaccurately reporting what God has said and done. There is no hope for you, dear reader, until you yourself take the Word of God into your hand, and become more familiar with it than with any other thing. We must begin to utter the Word to one another, not in argument, but in encouragement. As we begin to seek Jesus, our silly differences will fade in the light of His wonderful splendor. These pages seek to answer biblically and honestly objections made to outward manifestations witnessed in churches. These are no substitute for the Truth found only in the Christian Bible. Read, then with this in mind: The author has already been forced to change what he had innaccurately reported, once better information was provided. This, therefore, is but one man's limited opinion of what God is doing on the earth. Take it as opinion, and seek God's perspective above all.
What is the revival
I don't intend to rehash the testimonies of the revival, but I encourage the reader to become familiar with the revival, as it is happening around the world. The following is a number of links to specific revival sights where the reader can do his own research and form his own opinion.
Why I've changed my mind on the Toronto Blessing A personal testimony by Anton Hein of Holland.
Morning star publications and ministry Rick Joyner's home page.
Links to many renewal sights GRMI, a renewal oriented ministry, furnishes links to the revival and it's history throughout the world.
Testimonies out of Brownsville: The official link to the Brownsville Assemblies of God.
More testimonies, news, and coming soon sermons out of Brownsville. Don't ever listen to someone's clips taken out of context. Hear for yourself from the source.
Other testemonies: A bulletin board for posting and reading testimonies of the revival.
The Toronto perspective: The Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship's official home page.
An article by Michael Brown: Scorning the Sacred. The dangers of disguising false judgment as innocent criticism.
End-Time prophetic vision: Bill Somers links to important sites and articles.
Another view of Counterfeit Revival: Richard Riss weighs in on Hank Hanegraaff's perception. This is a much more pleasant perspective than the author of these pages'.
Antichristian teachers are easily recognized. They attack people and denigrate leaders. Their major concern is to stop any experience that they themselves have not had and cannot understand. To criticize the revival, to ask questions, to seek answers, this is not a blasphemous or damnable endeavor. But to pretend that you know what God is doing in the lives of untold millions, to disdain the work of the Holy Spirit in the lives of countless thousands, to attribute to hypnosis and suggestibility the powerful work of repentence and cleansing and to publish your claims, this is to despise the Hand of God and to hate the Blood that bought us. You are not criticizing the revival .You are passing judgment. You are not asking questions. You are answering them. You are not seeking answers, you are diverting the attention of true seekers from the path of Truth. This is no longer warm and open discussion of doctrine. Instead it is an attempt to make the least of these to stumble. Let the reader beware.
