More Lakeland discernment needed

I have been continuing to discern what God is doing in Lakeland and have watched a range of material on You tube. A friend from Wycliffe is traveling out to Lakeland next week. There are reports of and footage of some fairly disorderly meetings in Dudley. (not that disorder is always the mark of something untoward. Whitfield and Edwards saw a bit of disorder.)

I am however concerned that some of this may have been birthed in rebellion or, as this interview says, 'rejection' by a movement. We must be very clear of the difference on Scriptural terms. Here too, there is a connection to Bill Johnson who is the NW main speaker this year so clarity in doctrine is crucial for church leaders as they discern this move of God. Bob Jones as a movement reference point is also to be approached with some discernment and caution.

Two English Pastors speak in favour- HERE

This chappy in Kansas is not a fan and urges caution. His words on the primacy of Scripture, the centrality of the Cross, the necessity of repentance and the love of the poor are all hard to disagree with. I post it to assist in the debate and give a non-Todd view and perspective.

It's called 'Is this a move of God?' and his caution is to be sure you are seeking JESUS if you go to Lakeland. Apparently this was sparked by a visitation of an angel called "Emma"

All Pastors must be seeking the Lord, hold to the Word (studies in 1 John, Revelation and Colossians 2:18 -(Angels- HERE and HERE ) would be helpful) and be very prayerful at this time for our people.
