Before I created this web site, God laid it on my heart to create a blog that would preach the Word without compromise, encourage believers to depart from this world’s system and turn back to God. During this very same “season” in my life, my family and I were being healed from the trauma of working for the Elijah List. [Read More]
I was doing some more research on the Lakeland Revival and stumbled upon this message on the Elijah List web site dated April 23, 2008 (at the “peak” of the Lakeland Revival). Apparently nothing could stop that revival either ….
“June 22 to July 22 will be a significant time in the spirit. (Todd didn’t elaborate on this period.) This Revival will NOT be stopped.” [Read More]
Around 2000-01, Steve Shultz was an avid supporter of Todd Bentley, shamelessly promoting Fresh Fire whenever he had the chance. Todd Bentley was removed from the web site(s) soon after the Lakeland fiasco occurred and hasn’t been added back to the site since. My guess is that, due to the sheer embarrassment, Steve doesn’t want to touch Todd Bentley with a 50-foot pole. I could be wrong, but if past behavior is any indicator, Steve will do anything to preserve the reputation of the Elijah List. [Read More]
God moving among His people is a beautiful thing … and I’m all for forgiving ANYbody of ANY sin. But have you asked yourself why, all of a sudden, there’s this HUGE fanfare over a Todd Bentley event? Other ministers have had “revivals” … God.TV never “gate crashed” their schedule for them. What gives? [Read More]
When one works in the area of web design and IT for over a decade, one can develop a bit of “overconfidence” when it comes to your run-of-the-mill internet scams and hoaxes. Well, yesterday’s failure knocked me off my high horse when I sent out an email requesting insight into the latest hoax that stated that Joel Osteen had renounced his christian faith and was walking away from the ministry.

When the message of a modern-day “prophet” begins to resemble that of occultists … it’s time to beware. Consider …. [Read More]
Sometimes I think that one of the reasons why Jesus chose fishermen to be in His group of disciples was because of their “thick skin”. Jesus knew that He need people who could handle the Truth, even if it was a discomfort to their flesh. [Read More]
Because people desire a “have-it-your-way” supernatural experience, they are prone to seek supernatural fulfillment through carnal (sensual) means. Trained by the world (and from the pulpit) to pay attention to, and feed, our “senses”, they feel they’ve encountered a “the Spirit of God” when their senses are tickled by ANY supernatural force.

In order to understand “the prophetic” from a biblical standpoint, it would make the most sense to look at the behavior of prophets of the bible. Prophets were always a spokesperson for God, calling the children of Israel back to obedience to His commandments. Their behavior could be classified as “odd”, especially when you look at prophetis like Ezekiel and Isaiah, but the “end goal” of their demonstrations was always to display Israel’s unfaithfulness, the punishment that would result from that unfaithfulness, and the benefits that could follow IF they repented.

If you count yourself to be a Seeker of Truth (a Hearer and DOer of the Word), you will have to ask yourself many times (almost daily), “Could I Be Wrong? Are there certain aspects of my Walk with God that are out of line with His Word? Do I adhere to certain practices that may be popular with the church, but grieve the heart of God?” [Read More]
