Questions that we all need to ask ourselves? Where in scripture does it say that last days that there will be a revival here on earth? The bible talks about the falling away of the church and does not even point to a revival. If we want to change our nations and what is degradation of society, we need to repent, rend our hearts and turn back to God. It is as simple as that. True revival would look like Joel chapter 2-3. Laughing, rolling on the floor and sprinkles of gold dust are not on the list. What we see going on in Lakeland I would not call even a revival but a movement? Question is, what kind of movement.
However, there will be signs and wonders but not of the Holy kind. Jesus states three times in the Matthew 24, that in the last days, that MANY false prophets will try to deceive with signs and lying wonders that they are so strong that they can even fool the very elect. Why would Jesus (including Paul and the apostles) make these statements and repeat them. It is obvious that this deception will be very strong and that many will fall because of it. Jesus states “See I told you beforehand”…He is telling us in advance to look at the signs of the times and do not focus on the next move or the next sign that might look like it is from God. Jesus did this because He loves us and does not want anyone to perish. We need to pray for brother Bentley because the angel visitations are definitely not from God and he is being deceived. We need to love our brothers and sister by warning them, but we also need to pray for our brothers and sisters to save them and snatch them from the pit. God mentioned that He would send a delusion perhaps as a test to see if those would follow HIM or we would follow after signs. Please refrain from calling those who are testing and warning others as judgemental or religious spirits or Pharisees. Some of us do this to warn as an act of love for our neighbour.
