It's a Satanic Revival(ahhhhhh!)

The following is a response to a very, very long blog by a someone called Jessica who has no blog but randomly contributed to our lead Pastor's, Paul Reid's, blog. www.cfc-net.org/paulblog
I was too polite to say just how flippin angry I am that I am flippin sick of people quoting flippin verse after verse after flippin verse (did I say I was angry!) from the Bible concluding that what is happpening not just in Lakeland now but all around the US and the UK ( prob other places too but I've not heard as yet) is a Satanic Revival. This has got to be the biggest most public and most condoned move of the enemy since the so called Dark Ages. If Jessica and the likes are right then there is very little hope for Church. There have been literally thousands of healings in Jesus Name (as I write I am listening to Bill Johnson from Reading US calling for healing amongst those in his Church) and if she is right then I am listening to.......... ok Iam sick of focussing on the enemy here's what I wrote

I some times wonder whether my TV is showing a different revival!! I have watched the Lakeland feed on God Channel on and off for about 6 weeks and am still to get offended by too much talk of Angels or lack of scriptual references in worship.
I hear more 'in Jeeesus Name!!' than any talk about Angels. I suppose this highlights the lack of teaching about Angels in every strand of Christian tradition. Jessica re worship
.....if you use the same criteria for Matt Redman, Paul Balouch, Tim Hughes, Brian Doerksen never mind Aaron Boyd, Jonny Parks and Robin Mark you might have to ditch alot of your worship CDs. I find the worship up lifting, challenging and inspiring.
I get angry and sad that people are saying we are being deceived and this is satanic. I guess Jesus was also condemned for not being scriptual- disciples harvesting on the Sabbath- and performing out of the ordinary miracles ( I still can't get over those poor pigs being sacrificed to demons or Jesus spitting at people!!)
There are now many Church leaders like Peter Wagner; Ché Ahn, pastor of Harvest Rock Church in Pasadena, Calif.; John Arnott of Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship in Canada; Bill Johnson, pastor of Bethel Church in Redding, Calif.; and Rick Joyner, founder of MorningStar Ministries in Charlotte, N.C. who have publically backed Todd Bentley but as Christian Leaders are saying "wait and see" only time will tell. My problem is I am hungry to see people being healed, delivered and become followers of Jesus as they experience the love of God and I am willing to risk being wrong to see all this happen. I want to get my feet wet and if I sink then I know Jesus will lift me up cos He is the one I am trusting in.I hear about revivals in India and Africa where people are being healed and I want to see it here in Belfast.
