Praise God for the exciting days we are living in! I was so ecstatic last night when I heard these awesome testimonies from young children. I started yelling and rejoicing in front of my computer as I watched live video stream from God TV with my family. These children had also been listening to messages from Todd Bentley of Fresh Fire Ministries at the Lakeland Revival in Lakeland, Florida, USA. Todd Bentley's message of God's Holy Power soaked into these children's hearts and they acted in the Holy Spirit Faith that we read about in the book of Acts in the Holy Bible.

I am writing to Fresh Fire ministries for more facts and verification for further news. Today I am only reporting brief news that I heard from the revival, however Todd said he is finishing the fourth book about the verifiable miracles in the past ninety days.

One eleven year old girl was in her classroom at school when her teacher died of a massive heart attack. The paramedics came and tried to revive her with no results. The parents were called to pick up their children because the teacher was dead, and the school was closing for early release of all the students. One girl from the class remembered the power of prayer from the messages of Todd Bentley that she had been hearing with her parents on God.TV. She gathered her classmates around her, and asked them to pray for their teacher to come back to life. Their teacher arose from the dead. The paramedics were stunned. They told her she should not be alive. They pronounced her dead ten minutes ago. The best news is not her resurrection, but that the teacher now knows that God is real! She was an unbeliever.

Another story is about two teenage girls that were going door to door witnessing in a small village at Guadalajara, Mexico. One girl is named Julie. The girls were with their church as missionaries. They had been watching the Lakeland Revival from their church. The girls had no response to their door to door witnessing during the day. Then a young lady named Rosemary answered her door with tears in her eyes. She told the young girls that her baby had been born dead 27 hours before, and she would be cast out of her village. This society believes that babies that are born dead because they have an evil spirit, and the people of the village would force the women to be removed from living amongst them in their village.

The young missionary girls prayed for the young woman's sadness and depression. Then Julie remembered the stories she had heard at the resurrections from the Lakeland Revival. She thought "Why Not Here! Why would God not raise this precious baby? She asked the mother, Rosemary, where the baby was. Rosemary told her that the baby was wrapped in burial cloths in the back room.

The girls asked if they could see the baby, and then asked if they could take off the burial cloths. The interpreter replied that they could if they would wrap the baby back as they had found the baby. The girls proceeded to take off the cloths and prayed and began crazy intercession with all their might. They demanded that life come back into the baby's body in the name of Jesus Christ! For two minutes there was such a quietness that you could hear a pin drop. Then the baby belted out its first cry, and is alive and well today!

But that is not the most exciting news. The mother went out into the village and knocked on every door exclaiming that her baby was alive! The whole village of ninety (90) people accepted Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. The baby was named after Julie. A week later the village held a feast with the missionaries to celebrate their new found faith in Jesus Christ. The teenage girls and missionaries will never forget the awesome power of God that they personally witnessed. What an amazing, powerful testimony about the God we serve!

I hear that some Christians are skeptical of Todd Bentley and the outpouring of God's presence in Lakeland Florida. So I want to take a moment to give my personal testimony on what has happened in my life since I began listening to Todd Bentley's teachings.

My husband first heard of The Florida Outpouring from a posting at Morning Star Ministries by Rick Joyner. Teens from his church went to the Revival and came back to the school where the fire of God poured all over the students, staff and church members. CLICK HERE to read the story.

A friend from Church sent my family information on a special four day revival called "The Austin Outpouring" at Cathedral Of Praise in Austin Texas. The revival began on Thursday June 5, 2008, and ended Sunday June 8th. My children saw Christians that are really on fire for Jesus Christ, and loved being around people that they could identify with.

On Tuesday, June 10th another friend told us that we could watch the Florida Outpouring live online at God.TV. That night our family began watching the revival by gathering in our home office to watch from our computers. Sometimes we will have as many as four computers tuned in so we can have a close view. Our family has watched the revival every night since, except June 28th. We had to be out of town that night. However my youngest son and I watched the teaching from that night by a recording from God.TV. Even on Wednesday nights we will turn God.TV on as soon as we get home from Church. Todd begins preaching about 8:30 PM Eastern time. Now we turn on one computer to watch at 6:00 PM (Central Time) and listen to the anointed music. Catherine Mullins is a favorite singer of ours. This young woman's anointed energy is exciting to watch.

When I first heard that Todd Bentley was coming to Texas I told my husband that I was going. He responded that he would see how his schedule was. Then I told him that I was going, even if I had to go alone in our old car. We both knew that the only way that old car would make the 3 1/2 drive to Denton would be with God's help. He knew that my determination to find a way would cause God to provide a way. So he cleared his calendar and our family went. I made hotel arrangements, and we left early Thursday morning to be one of the first to wait in front of the doors. We wanted seats up close and we wanted to share our faith with other Christians who are wanting to walk with God in a whole new level of power and closeness.

My favorite sermon of all times was preached by Todd Bentley on being bold in Christ. CLICK HERE and find June 20th. In 1992 I knew that God was calling my husband and I into a powerful ministry that included mighty healings. This was before Jeff, my husband's oldest son was left paralyzed from an automobile accident on the Germany Autobahn in August 1993. I felt this tremendous calling was only for a few of God's children. But Todd Bentley simply showed by the Word's spoken by Jesus that this is exactly what He told us to do. In Mark 16:15 Jesus tells the disciples to "Go into all the world and preach the good news to all creation." Then Jesus ends by saying in the end of verse 18 "They will place their hands on sick people, and they will get well." Children hear the words and believe! Todd Bentley said that God told him that we will start seeing many of Jesus' miraculous signs and wonders from the hands of children under the age of twelve. Most of us adults have been conditioned by today's religion that God does not give us the power to lay hands on the sick to heal them. I am no longer waiting for a time someday when God will pour out His promised Glory and Power. I am acting in belief that that promised day is HERE! Praise you Father God for allowing this generation to be the blessed generation that you promised would bring Your Kingdom Here to Earth!
