Wednesday, August 6th Report

Tonight Roy & Todd were back in Ignited Church. They will now be moving out to other cities around the US and other countries of the world. Meetings will continue in Ignited Church with a variety of ministers bringing the word. Pastor Strader & Todd recapped the last 127 days in Lakeland and prayed for each other at the end of this phase and the beginning of a new phase. A spirit of cooperation was evident and Todd was visibly moved at the thought of ending this period of extended meetings. Continue to pray as Jesus taught us, that God's will would be done on earth as it is in heaven, both at Ignited Church and in Fresh Fire's events around the world.

Tuesday, August 5th Report

Tuesday night, Ryan Wyatt ministered on the tangible substance of God that dwells in the believer, and how to access and activate the Spirit of God in your life. Many Christians are completely out of touch with their spirits. At salvation, God injected his Spirit into yours and co-mingled himself with you! This was a detailed, in-depth, life-changing message. Check it out on "God on Demand" above.

Monday, August 4th Report

Tonight the meetings moved back to Ignite Church where they started. Ryan Wyatt from Knoxville, TN ministered on authentic, supernatural Christianity. Some quotes: "God sends revival to restore a truth to the church; not just so we can have visitations."; "You can affect the spiritual climate around you."; "An ignorant church allows the enemy a seat of government even though he has no right to it."; "When we aren't taking our rightful authority, we're granting the enemy authority to operate."

Friday, August 1st Report

Todd Bentley ministered about what our responsibility is after we receive a prophetic word. Also, the role of supernatural forces in either releasing or blocking the fulfillment of prophetic words. He used the account of Jonah at Nineveh, Matthew 16 and the account of Elisha and the King of Israel in 2 Kings 13 to illustrate how our response to the will of God can have an impact on the working out of God's word in our lives and circumstances.

Wed. & Thurs. July 30-31 Report

Keith Miller ministered Wednesday & Thursday nights. Keith has a wonderful testimony of how God delivered him from prison and alcohol. God then gave him, through dreams the ability to create and invent many new electronic devices. He built a successful electrical business with no schooling in electrical technology! Keith now travels as an evangelist and revivalist. Thursday night, many came forward for salvation.

Mon. & Tues. July 28-29 Report

Ryan Wyatt ministered Monday & Tuesday. Ryan taught about visions. There are 7 or 8 different Greek words in the New Testament for visions.

Sunday, July 27th Report

Craig Kinsley, from North Carolina ministered again tonight. His primary topic was the way that God's love is breaking down walls in the body of Christ; that a move of God's Spirit in the world is bringing together believers from many different denominations. Let it be so, Lord, as Jesus prayed in John 17.

Saturday, July 26th Report

Friday, July 25th Report

Pastor Stephen Strader ministered from Luke 8 about Jairus' daughter and the woman with the issue of blood. The importance of pressing in through the crowd to touch Jesus is key. Jairus and the woman knew that just a touch of the Master would make the difference. Their faith translated into action, and Jesus responded to them. Dr. Paul Williams was on hand to testify to the veracity of miraculous healings that have taken place.

Thursday, July 24th Report

Eli Miller, one of Fresh Fire's leaders taught on overcoming your past.

Tues & Wed. July 22 & 23 Report

Catherine led worship these two nights and Bobby Conner ministered. Bobby was a Southern Baptist pastor for 26 years. He ministered a strong word encouraging all to ask God, as David did to search our hearts and see if there is any wicked way in us. Bobby believes that God is cleaning and digging out reservoirs in his people in preparation for a greater outpouring and harvest around the world. He also taught about the importance of seeing yourself as God sees you.

Sunday, July 20th Report

Pastor Stephen Strader ministered tonight. His church, was where this outpouring began. He taught using Acts 2 about the personal nature of the fire that fell at penticost and how the fire distributed to each one that was there. We all need to keep our fires burning for the lord. The Holy Spirit was given at pentecost to provide power for them to be witnesses. We need the same power today. He then held an altar call and many responded. Glory to God!

Saturday, July 19th Report

Todd taught tonight on releasing the power of the Spirit that is in we Christians. The same Spirit that raised Christ from the dead lives in us to give life to our mortal bodies. (see Romans 8:11) Todd then led the congegation in a prayer to release the Spirit that was in them & many people came forward to testify of how God had touched them. Emphasema, deafness, carpal tunnel, MS, cancer, paralysis, nerve damage and chronic pain, all healed. Praise God!

Friday, July 18th Report

Todd taught on the importance of remembering the great things God has done in your life. Testimonies, including your own, build your faith and encourage you to believe that God can do again what he has done in the past. Todd had 5 scriptural reasons to put yourself in rememberance of what God has done for you.

Thursday, July 17th Report

Todd was back from vacation and was in Louisville, KY. There were 4 different locations with thousands of people in attendance and Todd moved from one to the other for nearly 12 hours.

Heather Clark led worship tonight. It culminated in the whole place spontaneously exalting God for at least 15 minutes.

God miraculously gave him back his sight. He fell to his knees and wept at the goodness of God. A young woman who had limited mobility in her back due to a metal rod that had been implanted got the full range of motion back. A college-age female athelete who had destroyed the cartilidge in her knees and had been in constant pain was completely healed. A blind 7-month old infant began seeing and reaching out for toys.

Come out and join us as we witness the great things God is doing! 7PM each evening.

Sunday, July 13th Report

If you missed tonight, please watch for it to be posted on God on Demand (above). It was an amazing night. James Goll spoke & related a vision of heaven he had, with the angels and the great cloud of witnesses singing, "This is His hour, this is His way, the release of His power, to change your day". He then went to the hospital and sang this over his wife who had terminal cancer &, according to her doctor, only had 3 weeks to live. The next day her cancer markers dropped from 40,000 to 19,000 and have been dropping ever since! James gave a prophecy about New England that confirmed and dove-tailed with a vision that was given to a wonderful woman in our morning service today. Be sure to come next Sunday to hear both! James operates in the prophetic and he made many prophetic declarations, including: an outbreak of passionate love that is contageous like measels and popping out all over New England; Rodney Howard-Brown to come into his third wind to wake up a slumbering America; Holy Spirit volcanic eruptions on every continent; a revival of compassion that carries God's heart for the homeless and the widows; the breaking off of anti-semitism from the gentile body of Christ; England Ablaze for 90 Days!; another outpouring in Toronto-an apostolic wineskin to preserve the new wine; a re-visitation to the former sites of recent revivals, and a coming together of the various revival streams; a new "buzz" in Charlotte, NC to overthrow a seat of Jezebel; revival in India!; a day when the drug lords are driven out of Columbia because of the great moving of God; and many more! We were all radically blessed as we watched and entered in to this historic outpouring service! Come join us each night at 7pm.

Wednesday, July 9th Report

Katherine again led a power-packed time of worship tonight. Her joy & energy is infectious! Craig Kurtland ministered suggesting that we are entering a "new reformation" in which the church is being released in power to do the works that Jesus and his early followers did throughout the earth. GodTV didn't air the meeting tonight, but we streamed the whole meeting from the internet. We'll be watching again tonight during & after worship team rehearsal.

Tuesday, July 8th Report

Todd was off tonight. Jim Drown, an associate of Todd's from Global Evangelistic Missions ministered tonight. Katherine led an energy-charged worship service that had the house hoppin'! Jim ministered to many through the word of knowledge and laying on of hands for healing. He also ministered to senior ministers in attendance at the meeting. There were hundreds of them! May the fire of God spread through these ministers throughout the world!

Monday, July 7th Report

Todd was back tonight and taught on three different kinds of faith; sovereign faith, growing faith, and "the gift of faith". Some have criticized Todd for the physical way that he sometimes ministers in the gift of healing. Todd explained how the gift of faith works and sometimes the strange ways that God asks you to minister. Jesus worked in this way, and all through scripture, God asks people to do things that appear strange, but which release the power of God. See the entire message by clicking "God on Demand" above.

Sunday, July 6th Report

An announcement was made tonight that Todd Bentley and his team are going to Israel in November. They had a powerful time of prayer for Israel. Roy Fields ministered, using his testimony, and how a phone call from a Christian friend at a critical time became a turning point in his life. He then taught on the importance of being who God made you to be, and being a carrier of the presence of God. Roy, in addition to being the primary worship leader for the Lakeland meetings is a great teacher who makes learning the things of God fun! If you missed it, click on "God on Demand" above and choose July sixth.

Saturday, July 5th Report

Roy Fields led worship tonight, then Jeff Garvin ministered. God has saved Jeff out of addiction and prison. He ministers in a no-nonsense way that confronts religious spirits, the same spirits and attitudes that Jesus confronted in his day. The scribes & pharisees were so concerned with the law that they missed the revealed will and power of God. Some of those same spirits and attitudes are at work in the world today, and Jeff isn't afraid to meet them head-on with the loving, demonstrated power of God.

Wednesday, July 2nd Report

Sonic Flood led worship again tonight. Then Eli Miller, one of Todd's apostolic accountability partners ministered on deliverance. He started by pointing out the six objections that Pharaoh had to Moses when Moses was saying "let my people go". The devil uses these same six objections today when we try to get free from things that keep us bound. He then taught on fear and ministered freedom from fear, then had a time of deliverance. The crowd responded & a great victory shout arose.

Tuesday, July 1st Report

Sonic Flood led worship tonight. They were great. The people really entered in & had a great time of worship. The presence and love of God were heavy in the room. Todd then had some incredible testimonies of healings. He then presented the second 15 reasons why people sometimes aren't healed. This is a great teaching which identifies scriptural reasons that healings/miracles are held back from operating in your life. Todd has obviously spent much time studying this topic and has great biblical insight into the operation of miracles and healings today.

Sunday, June 29th Report

Roy led a wonderful time of worship during which the rain & thunder were making themselves known outside, while the Holy Spirit was raining down inside. At one point the people sang for many minutes in the spirit. Kieth Miller, an associate of Fresh Fire Ministries ministered a comissioning service, releasing people to be witnesses in their cities and countries. Also calling forth release and restoration for people and ministries that have been through a season of loss or setbacks. He then ministered in the word of knowledge, calling out many medical conditions.

Friday, June 27th Report

The tent was filled to capacity Friday with 9600 people in attendance in Lakeland! A pastor came to the stage to recounnt what had happened earlier in the day. The pastor had been in his hotel room earlier Friday when a young paraplegic boy drowned in the hotel pool. The boy's mother was running from room to room banging on doors seeking help. The pastor & his wife then went to the boy & attempted CPR. The boy was cold and blue and had stopped breathing. The pastor began praying for the boy but nothing was happening. It then occured to the pastor to call life back into the boy's body, not using his own authority, but the authority that's in the name of Jesus. The boy coughed and began breathing! The paramedics then arrived and took the boy to the hospital. As of the time of the evening meeting the boy was doing fine at the hospital and was expected to fully recover. What an awesome God we serve!

Thursday, June 26th Report

Todd continued presenting the remaining 15 reasons that it is God's will to heal, but before this he ministered to several people with a variety of serious medical conditions. A woman that was totally blind in one eye received her sight! Another woman's sight was being progressively restored. A man with total deafness in one ear received hearing in that ear! Praise be to God! Isn't it interresting that in this time when we in America are debating universal healthcare that God has soverignly broken through and is showing us who the real healer is? I believe that God is, in his goodness, pouring out this healing annointing to show his power and to drive the world to jealously of the church! For far too long the world has looked with contempt at the church, and much of this is because the church, for the most part has not demonstrated the power of God in the earth. God, show us your glory!

Wednesday, June 25th Report

So many of us believe that God is capable of healing sickness, disease or handicaps, but we often doubt whether God is willing to heal us. Tonight Todd began presenting a list of 30 reasons why God is not only able, but willing to heal! He got through 15 of the reasons Wednesday & will continue on Thursday. These are clear, understandable, scriptural points, such as; "The Love of God", "God Wills It", "To Bring Repentance" and others. If you'd like to see & hear the entire service, God TV now has video archieves online! Click on the "God on Demand" link at the top of this page and select June 25. And, if you'd like someone to pray for you to be healed, come this Sunday or Tuesday to Abundant Life Church. We'd love to pray for you.

Tuesday, June 24th Report

Tuesday is our regular mid-week service night. We had a powerful time of worship. Patrick Gordon & Vandy Hewett had words from the Lord & Pastor Josh ministered. We then watched the revival in Lakeland. Pastor Che Ahn of Harvest Rock in Passadena, CA was ministering. His church has been in revival for 33 nights with associates of Freshfire Ministries. After preaching and ministering a wonderful altar call where hundreds came forward, Pastor Che had many, many words of knowledge about everything from sinus infections to Lou Gehrig's disease. Pastor Che instructed believers in the audience to pray for those that needed healings arround them, refrencing Mark 16:17, "And these signs shall follow them who believe..." Many came forward testifing to partial and complete healings. Back healings, shoulders healed, MS healed, eyesight restored, severe lactose intolerance cured after 30 years! Paralisys healed! Scars removed! Join us Wednesday at 7PM!

Monday, June 23rd Report

Monday evening. Michael Larson from Langley, British Columbia led worship. "Pour Down The Oil" became the cry of the night, as the whole congregation shouted and called out to the Lord to pour down the oil. The presence of the Lord was tangible even here at ALC as we entered into worship with millions arround the world. The city-taking anointing that followed Phillip in Acts 8: 4-8 is upon us. Todd told of a vision he had in 1999 of 100 or more cities simultaneously in healing revival. God will determine which cities by the level of hunger the city's believers demonstrate. Lord, show us your glory! Many apostles, prophets and church leaders were in attendance to commission Todd Bentley in a wonderful display of unity among leaders of past revivals and this current one. Lord, show us, show us your glory in Maine...

Sunday, June 22nd Report

Sunday evening was a special one. David Fitzgerald led worship in Lakeland. Really wonderful! The atmosphere was charged! Todd told much of his testimony over the last 10 years and talked about the cost of revival. Revival is wonderful, but it costs something of those who want to be in the midst of it. Todd proclaimed Psalm 24 over those in attendance and those watching via God TV and the internet, then God gave some very accurate and specific words of knowledge. Many people responded with testimonies of how God was healing them. Praise the Lord! Now, Monday night, June 23rd is a special commissioning service in Lakeland. Members of the International Coalition of Apostles will be on-hand to commission this great outpouring. Don't miss it! We'll be here from 7 - 11 PM. Come & join us!

Saturday, June 21 Report

Saturday evening, David Tomberlin ministered and led people in Lakeland and all around the world via GodTV into becoming hungry & thirsty for more of God. We sometimes become complacent and loose our desire for God to be Lord in every area of our lives, but the bible says that the Kingdom of God is "taken by force". We must follow hard after him. If you've become complacent, ask God to make you hungry & thirsty for more of him, and come join us each evening at 7pm. We are being changed, changed, changed.

Friday, June 20 Report

Friday evening, Todd told of his meeting in North Carolina Thursday. 8000 people packed the arena, and thousands were turned away. An incredible hunger is growing across the world. Todd ministered on "Seven Signs That the Kingdom of Heaven is At Hand". Those of us that were here at ALC were deeply moved and affected by the message. Hundreds came forward to receive Jesus in Lakeland. The focus of the message was that the gospel must be preached in fullness. (see Romans 15:18-19). A wonderful dynamic is developing as we come together each evening. Come join us this weekend at 7PM both Saturday & Sunday, June 21 and 22.

Thursday, June 19 Report

Thursday evening was a busy evening at ALC. The drama team, worship team & dance teams were all rehearsing in preparation for The Mix, and this Sunday's Open House Service. Two of Pastor Josh & Krystal's friends (Liz & Ebony) from Oklahoma rehearsed with the worship team & will be joining us this Sunday. Liz will be leading us in a very special song from Austrailia and we'll be introducing a great song by Ty Tribbett this Sunday. We also had the Lakeland Outpouring meeting streaming live in the Assembly Room. Ryan Wyatt ministered a great message about the realization and restoration of the authority that we believers have in the Spirit! Join us Friday night at 7pm in the assembly room for the next Lakeland Meeting!

Wednesday, June 18 Report

Wednesday night, about 20 of us gathered here at ALC to watch & enter into the Lakeland Outpouring by satellite! Three hours of powerful, fire-filled worship, then we received a "double-portion" blessing. When God restores, everything doubles! Double, double, double, double. Deut 1:11 says "May the Lord God of your fathers make you 1000 times more numerous than you are right now, and bless you as He has promised you!"

As Todd prayed an impartation prayer, we earnestly agreed to receive the double portion anointing for our church & our lives. A business man told Todd that he would match all the offerings received at the Outpouring until he had given the amount God instructed him to give! Let it be unto us Lord!!!
