However, I think there is a way to recognize this and promote it without attacking other ministries. I appreciate what you are saying too!<br /><br />What went on behind the scenes that would effect what I am saying?Steve Parkernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4430586908363955777.post-81783219046193338272010-11-24T06:27:57.840-08:002010-11-24T06:27:57.840-08:00Brother Steve, Whoever Lee speaks about in his boo...Brother Steve, Whoever Lee speaks about in his book, has little to do with this article which is what the comments were about. Secondly you are biased and yet without the knowledge of what really has gone on behind the scenes.. I know these things. And the whole paradigm of who has anointing and who does not needs to be revisited. The same Holy Spirit is in us as is in anyone else, and so though we have different giftings, no one is more anointed than anyone else in reality and it is clear in scripture. You are new to the experiential charismatic church, and I am thankful that God has touched you like I mentioned before, but the truth is, there is a shift coming and is now here, that those type of hoopla ministries pointing to a man, is increasingly over and will continue to be less and less relevant to society... But your opinion is valid, because it is your opinion. :)Robert Ricciardellihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02160368258138662091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4430586908363955777.post-18562871068657593102010-11-24T03:52:30.329-08:002010-11-24T03:52:30.329-08:00Robert, having just finished reading Lee's new...Robert, having just finished reading Lee's new book,(where he does name names) I had a pretty good idea of what and who he was referring to. I think Lakeland symbolizes some of the things that are wrong with the church today, but Todd Bentley was the symptom, not the problem. The problem is that we have young men and women with incredible anointings who do not have spiritual mothers and fathers to come alongside them and properly mentor them into a place where that anointing can be properly put on display. That's why what Rick Joyner is doing with Todd right now is so valuable.<br /><br />And I speak with some knowledge concerning this. I lived on the grounds at Morningstar most of this year and saw up close what was going on through this process. And the fruit that came out of my life during this time has been amazing. So, admittedly, I am biased when I speak about this, but it is a bias that comes from being exposed to what is going on firsthand, not watching from a distance.Steve Parkernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4430586908363955777.post-46299050925919201222010-11-23T10:29:26.182-08:002010-11-23T10:29:26.182-08:00Amen David....

A call back to pure and simple devotion to Christ is truly the desperate need of today.David Fredricksonhttp://www.familyroommedia.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4430586908363955777.post-82778243826771435342010-11-22T16:54:37.150-08:002010-11-22T16:54:37.150-08:00We’d rather go to a “prophetic encounter”! Steve, ...We’d rather go to a “prophetic encounter”! Steve, I know Lee and know what he was saying. He was talking about a real and severe shift from Christ and into craziness. He did not name anyone, so you are assuming what he did not say, and if you encountered Christ that does not always endorse the minister, method, or ministry, but a good God reaching those who seek Him. Lakeland and even others the past few years are perfect examples of a God reaching through humanity that is far off the mark of the gospel, but God still touching some. Keep in mind that over 95% of what was reported at Lakeland never happened and not one of the 35 raised from the dead that were claimed ever could be documented. Many top leaders were deceived and prophesied falsely over a young man who was out of control and needed to be healed and whole. What Lee says here is for real, and you are somehow assuming he is talking about your personal experience or someone you know. I am thankful for how the Lord has touched you and others in whatever meeting or meetings you were in.This endorses God and not the man or woman. thanksRobert Ricciardellihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02160368258138662091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4430586908363955777.post-29223265171104016152010-11-22T15:56:42.244-08:002010-11-22T15:56:42.244-08:00Is it not possible to extol the value of the simpl...Is it not possible to extol the value of the simplicity of Christ without having to attack what some ministries are doing? I've been in some of the services that Lee seems focused on discrediting, and I will say that I have come away with a closer walk with Christ as evidenced by greater hunger for Him and more of His love for people. Whether everyone who is there is getting the same thing is not for me to judge. But it's not for Lee to judge either. Only God knows the intent of the hearts of the ministers who are involved with these ministries. Let's lift up Jesus in our lives and sphere of influence and HE will sort out what's going on in the ministry of others.Steve Parkernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4430586908363955777.post-71664587207417622582010-11-21T12:04:26.534-08:002010-11-21T12:04:26.534-08:00Remembering the "Jesus Movement" I would...Remembering the "Jesus Movement" I would say he came to us.
