Revival Blog

I have been crying out for revival almost as long as I have been proclaiming that Jesus is Lord. I have traveled near and far in the hopes of carrying the anointing. I have prayed, fasted, and sought the Lord in the hopes of seeing an outpouring.

When the revival broke out in Brownsville, I was too religious to travel the four hour drive to visit. I learned that “if God wanted me to be in revival He knows where to find me.” A few years later I got free and traveled to Toronto (and got more free).

So revival has broken out just over three hours away in Lakeland. I have been twice and will definitely go again. But since I am going to go again, the questions becomes, why leave? If God is moving in Lakeland, why would I stay in Delray Beach?

Todd is laying hands on people every night to receive the anointing and it is the anointing that I desperately want to walk in. It stands to reason that if I can go every night, I can get more anointing. If I live near the meetings, I can sleep in the anointing. It just makes sense.

There is just one problem. I have been called to be a carrier of revival. And revival is what Delray Beach desperately needs. It does not matter how man times Todd Bentley lays hands on me, it will not get one single person in Delray Beach saved. He can spend half the day interceding for me, throw his coat on me to symbolize his mantle, let me wear his shoes to symbolize walking in his footsteps, brush my teeth with his toothbrush to symbolize the words that come out of his mouth but it will not do one thing for my ministry if I don’t leave Lakeland and minister to my city.

I think some people go to see Todd not in the hopes of receiving the anointing, but to receive their ministry. I believe that the anointing is transferable. And I do believe in impartation. But you can’t give me a ministry. You can train me for ministry. You can activate my gifts for ministry. You can prophecy my ministry but I am the one that has to preach the Gospel. I am the one who has to reach the lost. I am the one that has to raise up the future revivalists in south Florida.

Even if Todd hires me to do this with him I have not received my ministry. I am just helping with his. I want mine. It is my inheritance and it is in Delray Beach. No. I won’t be moving anywhere.

So if you go to Lakeland, go hungry. Go prayed up and fasted thoroughly. Get all the prayer you can get and receive everything you can. But if you don’t do something with it, you will have received nothing and wasted your time.
