power TEACHING
so much of our emphasis has been on power evangelism (or "spilling" to use our new terminology). when it comes to people pursuing impartation to move in new realms of God's power, it seems that most of the time Christians seem to be seeking power to move to a new level in healing, or breakthroughs in the prophetic.
what about teachers? I threw up a quote a couple of weeks ago lamenting the reality that so few pastors/teachers move in "Kingdom Sauce."
Even now, as something special appears to be happening in Lakeland, Florida (they are calling it an 'outpouring' at this point), who are the majority of people traveling there, and why are they going? (I just heard from a friend in England that 4 of his Church members have traveled to Florida). I would venture to say there aren't a lot of teachers in the Body of Christ who are going there seeking an impartation in the whole realm of "Power Teaching". However, if there were, I know that they would receive it. (Note: although the principle of 'impartation' is taught throughout Scripture and is one of the main way that God releases/imparts His gifts, many teachers in the Body of Christ today DO NOT BELIEVE this doctrine. Wonder whose idea that was?)
What would happen if pastor/teachers purposed in their hearts to not settle for anything less than the power that rested on the teaching/preaching of people like Wesley, Whitefield, or Jonathan Edwards? Even if one were to hear Billy Graham's preaching in the 50's, they would marvel at the power of God that rested on it.
When you hear/read about the hunger and desperation of many who today move in healing anointing and other miracles, one common factor is found in all of their different quests for power - HUNGER! They simply could no longer live/minister without God's power if such power was available.
Call it what you will - "Power Teaching" or "Apostolic preaching" or "Unction" or whatever - calling on all pastors/teachers - whatever it is, whatever you want to call it - JUST MAKE SURE YOU GET IT.
We all need you to have it.

Note: Regarding Lakeland (2026 Update). There have been many people associated with Lakeland who have proven themselves to be compromised. At the time of Lakeland, some of them were not yet compromised. Todd Bentley was at the time of Lakeland and has continued to prove himself to be compromised for numerous reasons. But godly men/women were involved in Lakeland, and many believers were touched powerfully by attending some of those meetings. Most tragically, many whom I believe were sound at the time of Lakeland, I can no longer endorse/support. As to when they became corrupt, I'll leave that up to the Lord, but be that they slid into moral failure, fell into lacking financial integrity, were caught faking prophecies, accepted false doctrine/teaching and/or covered up for those that did these things, many of those who stood on the platform at Lakeland should no longer be trusted.
