It’s been a week now since I spoke at St. John’s church, and so much has happened.  We have continued to watch the Florida meetings on the big screen at the King’s Lodge, and Kathryn and I have prayed with several people… as well as all the other YWAM work!  Busy week.  And some powerful happenings… Read More »

Again there is so much to say, so I need to focus again on some key highlights.  The crowd was huge last night.  They had to put 10,000 chairs out.  The space at the front was totally packed for worship.

The worship went on for over two hours, and I don’t know exactly how long, because I got ‘lost’ in it!  After about an hour I was really feeling tired, and then Read More »

As the torrential tropical rain falls outside our Hotel room I am reminded of the persistent cries in the meeting for God to send His rain. One of the speakers on the first night testified to a fine mist cloud settling in his living room while he and some friends watched the meeting on God TV. They were literally wet when they put their hands in it. Read More »

A highlight from last night was the worship. Roy, the leader, changed all his plans, did away with the band and we sang simple worship songs with a keyboard for an hour and a half. It’s a phrase that does not really communicate it well enough, but ‘God’s presence was strong’ at the front where I was standing. For me, that meant hearing God’s tender thoughts in my minds very clearly; an awareness of his love for me ( and others ) that several times brought tears to my eyes.

Tonight, the 81st night, before any preaching had happened, healings started to happen. Read More »

Wow, what a meeting. I think the only way to recall it all is to watch the replay on God TV. Six hours of meeting, finishing with everyone in the tent being prayed for… about 7,000 people. This was the 80th day of this ongoing meeting. The worship was powerful, the presence of God was thick, and sometimes for me overwhelming. I cried as I thought of the broken, wounded people on the streets of England who need to experience this, who need to know and experience God healing them. I could blog for pages on last night, but I will reserve myself to a key highlight of when Todd spoke.

Last night was our first night, and we thought that we had better arrive early, not knowing how full it would be. We arrived at 5:00pm, that’s two hours before the meeting officially starts. There was already a queue of perhaps 400 people! The whole meeting went on until about midnight, but it felt like it went so quick.

By about 9:00pm people were on stage telling of healings that had just happened. One young woman was crying as she talked of having no back pain whilst standing up for the first time in many years. There were many people suffering from hearing problems healed. One man talked of being totally deaf in his right ear. He had left the army years before after an injury had left him with this problem. During the meeting he was suddenly aware of a wooshing sound in his right ear… and the noise from the worship music started to hurt! He was totally healed.

We have just arrived in Lakeland, Florida, settled into our motel, and eaten our first Florida breakfast after an eventful night - constantly wondering ‘what that noise was’ - and then realising it’s the air conditioning kicking in! Oh and the journey involved flying through lightening, major turbulence, and four and a half hours of delay.

It seems like many people here at this motel are also here for the meetings that you may have heard about, with Todd Bentley and the many healings that are happening here. I will try and blog at least once a day here and give you our perspective on what is happening and snippets of what is happening to us in the process! So stay tuned.
