I don't mean to offend anyone with this, not even you, Gerald. I think this pastors blog had some good things to say and since writing it he has also visited to gain a better perspective

A small excerpt:

A church in Lakeland Florida is in the midst of a healing revival.

I recognize that some will read the above statement and immediately scoff. Some Christians will even do the same, for various reasons.

When Paul told the Bereans in Acts 17 the Good News, they received the report eagerly and examined the Scriptures everyday for validation.

Many religious folks today receive reports of Good News with disdain, doubt or cynicism (very unlike the Bereans) and then search the scriptures to justify their disbelief, all the while thinking they are being "Berean."

All this talk about Todd and angels as of late reminded me of a story that was told to us a few months back....

True story.. A woman told a story about her daughter, she had an imaginary friend. She played with him and she said he would read her stories and played the piano. The little girl said his name was Jack. This woman thought her daughter would grow out of this stage soon. Well, a couple months past, the mother comes in contact with a homeless/transit man. Being a Christian she really felt lead to help this man out. She ended up bringing him home for dinner. The young man seemed to be a nice guy, well mannered. He played with the little girl and read her a story, she had a piano in her house and the homeless guy began to play, she said he could really make the piano talk. The man's name was Jack. She took him back to where she found him, it did not hit her that this man was very similar to her daughters imaginary friend until she went back home. Her daughter said, "that was my friend". She never seen the guy again and her daughter never played with her imaginary friend sense.
The woman told us that she believed it was an angel.

Okay Sister put your money where your mouth is.

SHOW me IN SCRIPTURE a female angel, as Todd Bentley Claims.
SHOW me IN SCRIPTURE where the Zodiac is equal to the word of God.
SHOW me IN SCRIPTURE Where virgins spread revival.
Show me IN SCRIPTURE Demons having dominion over cities.
SHOW me IN SCRIPTURE that DEMONS can be as big as Godzilla.


Your Berean exposition is the most ludicrous thing I have seen in quite some time.
