Truckin for Jesus

Posted at youtube by pastorgeorgec:

My brother “Trucker Joe” pulled up in his Western Star on Pastors Appreciation Sunday. He said “After service we are going for a ride”

I was absolutely thrilled because I had always wanted to do that. It was a ton of fun. But we never lost sight that we are the witness of Jesus Christ and told many that day of His salvation.

the dirty carpet revival…

The story of how God has and is using this young 24 yr old man Brandt Russo, reminded me of AW’s post, Ordinary Folk. For those who don’t know of him, his story and ministry can be read about here at his myspace page.

You would have to have been living in a cave to have not read about the mess which came out of Lakeland Florida in recent months; the outpouring which was claimed to have been God sent, but which proved to have been nothing more then a work of man. There are mega stories on this all over the internet–especially in the blogosphere, so I won’t reiterate or re-hash what has already been said elsewhere.

BUT THIS, this story is amazing, and shows us God still continues to ‘visit’ us in revivals–but in His own time and manner–and using those who are ordinary folks in ordinary ways…

Brandt and his ‘bus’ showed up in Lakeland because of reports of homeless people traveling to the ‘Lakeland outpouring to only be turned away–having no place to sleep. His endeavor to help these people resulted in him being arrested and put in jail. (story HERE)

But God… (I love those two words–‘But God!) was preparing to bring about something wonderful from out of all of this…Below is the latest report:

the dirty carpet revival…

Something has happened here in Lakeland Florida that is a little difficult to explain. After my arrest and trying to continue not just to minister to, but befriend and meet the needs of the beautiful folk we have met here, our little potluck community parties started to get a little too big to hold in my bus in the walmart parking lot (which is conveniently located across the street from Ignited Church). The night I got arrested, some kids from Tampa drove down and worshiped with Max and James in the bus, and slowly every night it got bigger.

Damage done

I have to admit that i really didnt want my first post on my ‘new’ blog to be about “a heretic from lakeland florida’. but, so it is. ive read many posts and watched many videos relative to this so called “revival” and have come to the conclusion that it sickens me to see how gullible some, no, alot of people really are when it comes to “basic spiritual truth”. are we that far from the lord that we cannot hear his voice that we would believe in some of the blasphemous occurences happening not only in lakeland but all over for that matter. to be honest i would not like to be part of a congregation that just came back fom a visit to lakeland, you talk about asking for some spiritual warfare! which brings me to my point, i feel sorry for relatives, fellow church members and friends of those that have “brought it back with them”. imagine how easy it will be for the “final” antichrist to persuade in the last days. I pray for all the strength and more importantly the wisdom to know the difference.
