lakeland revival

Day One - Monday, May 12, 2008

I thought our traveling days were over to pursue His presence. Now, we are going to have to go twice as far (Pensacola is exactly the half way point between Corrigan and Lakeland), an 18 hour trip. Any distance is worth is. All we want is "More Lord!"


The revival started at Ignite Church and has ended up at the Lakeland Convention Center. On occasions, the crowds have been so large, they went to an outdoor stadium and had over 10,000 people and even to an open air field where they had over 15,000 each night.	Yes, lines are here again...I remember the lines, though not always appreciated can be one of the most life changing places to be. I remember the 12 hour lines at Pensacola.

We arrived at the service and the line was long. Rather than go try to find a seat, we just went

into the altar area and stood. We stood the whole night through the pre-service prayermeeting (absolutely intense)

and then the whole evening until the time they asked all the sick to come forward. It was a night of

impartation for teenagers and Hispanics. BUT Todd Bently said tomorrow night would be

Pastor's Impartation Night....So I and the other pastor's with me are excited. Donnie Pate, one of my

church trustees is with me and he will probably go up with me during impartation

time so he can get an "armor bearer's anointing".

The teenagers recieved powerful impartation.

I tried to convince a few that I was a teenager

so I could recieve this impartion but no

one believed me.


Todd Bently then called up all who were Hispanics declaring that revival would sweep the Hispanic community. I again tried for impartation but was informed just because I like Mexican food didn't qualify me for this impartation either.	The platform is covered with people in the glory. Everyone who was prayed for recieved intense impartation.

I have been in hundreds of healing services whether to minister or in our own revivals back in Corrigan

and have never witnessed the intensity of these healings. Everything you see during the revival services

are really what happens. We were seeing the incredible joy of those who are recieving healings, even

after the cameras move on. Many are being healed of major issues that will never make it to the microphone

and many people were lined up to give testimonies that couldn't share because there was not enough time.

Someone had asked me what this revival was all about. My reply is, "This is not another Pensacola, Toronto or Rodney Howard Browne Service. I brought a group of pastors with me who were all touched by the Pensacola Revival. None of us were coming here to repent, to get encouraged, none of them had any thought of quitting the ministry as often was the case at Pensacola. Pensacola, as good as it was, was an Outer Court Revival. It was about repentence and cleansing. Toronto taught us the Father's Love and Pensacola taught us how to be hungry. This revival is Inner Court, that means miracles for the hurting and impartation to take signs, miracles and wonders to the streets of America and the world.

God has blessed me with the opportunity to carry a flame of revival across Texas, to Louisiana,

Canada and Ireland. I state everywhere I go that there is coming a revival of

global proportions... this could be the revival that I have been talking about.

Special Day of Miracles

Sunday Morning, May 18

10:00 am

Pastor Phil Corbett will be back in service after attending the Todd Bently Healing Revival in Lakeland, Florida and will be praying for all who are sick, troubled, addicted or having any emotional problems.

Day Three - Wednesday, May 14, 2008

This was an incredible day as it began to unfold as we were able to meet Todd Bently in

Denny's while we ate breakfast.

The incredible day began to unfold as we gathered at the swimming pool to enjoy a little rest before the evening service. While we were there, Pastor Lonnie Vallance who was with me wanted to be baptized fresh so we did. Prayer begin to breakout as other Christians, including a pastor from the Dallas area joined us. A woman came for prayer and recieved healing. Another man came forward and was baptized in the Holy Ghost. Johnny Knight played his guitar and sang as people across the pool area worshipped God with us. The people in the pool area who were not there for revival seemed to enjoy the "live music" and happy atmospshere.

We met up with so many people from Texas. This revival is refreshing and going to the world. Todd Bently announced that the next night, the Lakeland Revival Services would be broadcast across the region of the Middle East and would be available in 350 million Muslim homes.

I am reading on the internet what the critics are saying. I would advise that there is absolutely nothing I have seen or heard that caused me any concern whatsoever. What concerns me is people that make judgment that don't know because they haven't been. Some cannot see the fruit because of preconcieved judgmental attitude. I think we should realize that this is a God thing. Don't be concerned about Todd Bently's Tattoos because God is just probably pushing your religions buttons.

There is so much more going on here than you can view by watching television. Tens of thousands of hungry people and pastors are taking this back home with them and extended revival services are breaking out all over. I am reminded of what Jesus said, that we should not miss our day of visitation. Just the few night I have been here, there have been large groups of people from dozens and dozens of countries.

Because of the little I know about extended revival (we experienced an 18 week and 88 week revival recently), because in just 45 days or revival services in Lakeland, news of it is reaching around the world. As most know, last minute plane tickets are not cheap and still, people are flocking here from across the US and the world. To the criticizing pastor, evangelist or church member, when has the presence of God been so strong that even one visitor came into any of your services from anywhere. The line us growing, people waiting to get inside, to get saved and to be in the presence of God.

THIS ALL SOUNDS LIKE GOD TO ME.

People who were crippled that can walk, those who were diagnosed with cancer and are healed, the drug addict who gets delivered, the Christian who is empowered to do the works of Christ do not appear to be overly concerned because Todd Bently doesn't look like the average preacher

Almost a thousand pastors gather in foyer for nametags that would identify them for special impartation during the service	Worship Leader Roy Fields leads the hungry crowd into the Glory

Thousands gather to seek God	Roy Fields said "He remembers the days at Pensacola, when he was desperate for God would cry out, God, there's got to be more. As a youth, he would spend hours in his room when other kids played ball, just to stay in the presence of God and play his guitar.

Every night, Todd Bently was glowing with the radiant presence of God	Stephany and David Herzog. They host the television show "The Glory Zone" and authors of the book, "The Glory Explosion". Incredible miracles take place in their services such as bald hair growing back and many other miracles most Christians could never believe God could do. We recieved impartation from them. He is a friend of Pastor Shannon Vinsonhaler who is with me on this trip.

Day Four - Thursday, May 15, 2008


The Band of Brothers have their picture taken in front of Ignite Church	Ignite Church is where this revival began

Assembly of God Pastors from St Helena, California. Everywhere we turned, we met A/G pastors hungry for His presence	An intercessor from San Antonio, Texas helped us hold high the Texas flags for revival

Pastor Phil Corbett	Lord, send revival to Texas!

This was a great way to end off the trip. We met several from Ireland who shared with us the reports of revival in Ireland who have been to the Joe Corry Services and know friends like Cait and Tara Rice in Athlone.

Todd Bently said that this night was probably the greatest night of miracles...so far! There were three reports of people being raised from the dead because of some connection to this revival. There have been 8 known testimonies so far, 3 this week of people raised from the dead...all reports verifiable.

Day Five - Friday, May 16, 2008


Johnny Knight leads in worship	Even though it is a spur of the moment service, the building was full of people from the area

The worship was electric	People are humbled in the presence

The boys from Texas	Shannon Vinsonhaler and Lonnie Vallance share testimonies of what God is doing in their churches as result of the presence

Donnie Pate shares a testimony of his healing of arthritis while at Lakeland	Host of Green Acres Refuge Jody and Jackie Fontenot were so hospitable

Pastor Phil Corbett shares his thoughts about the presence	People move forward, completely oblivious to the time because of hunger. We were blown away when service round down at almost 1:00 am in the morning. People would have stayed longer but we had a long trip home.

Miracles begin to happen in the Glory	The whole band of brothers share in the ministry

Pastor Phil instructs Jackie Fontenot on how to see legs grow out. This is not a "hip adjustment" but an actual lengthening of the legs because of a terrible accident a few months before, an inch was taken from her leg because of a break in three places.	God instantly heals her. She gets up and walks without any limp whatsoever. She also recieves other miracles in her body.

The crowd goes nuts in the Glory and refuse to go home. After ministry to the sick, a very powerful time of impartation begins.	Three waves of impartation come and people are overwhelmed by the presence. Because of the intensity of what God did, we chose not to include pictures because many would not understand. The presence of God and the hunger of the people for more of Him was incredibly intense.

Healing Service and Revival Impartation Reports

From The Pastors From Their First Services

Back In Their Pulpit From Lakeland On

Sunday, May 18

First Assembly of God - Corrigan

Pastor Phil Corbett Update
Sunday Services, May 18, 2007

The services yesterday were crowned with the Glory of God in both services.

Sunday morning, the Holy Spirit hit like a locomotive and were much later than usual getting out of service. The intensity of the presence of God was so rich and few people were able to stand in His presence.

Although we had promoted this as a Healing Service, we didn't really pray for anyone as they were too caught up in the Glory. One girl we prayed for though had a terrible case of strepp throat and God healed her instantly when I told her to swallow.

Sunday night, the holiness of God came down and people worshipped freely and unabandoned. We were in service much later than usual again. Because we have so many services, we try to watch the time for all the children and working people but no one seemed to mind that time slipped away.

This healing testimony just in...

We just recieved word that a man who had a shoulder surgery was instantly healed. He had been having complications but in the glory, what the doctors could not do in three years, was done in a moment. All the doctor could say was that "it was amazing".

First Assembly of God - Victoria

Pastor Johnny Knight Update

Sunday Services, May 18, 2007

The Wednesday night before the pastors left for Florida, a powerful wave of intercession swept over us. We had people on their faces before God, there were some walking around the sanctuary praying, some were waving prayer cloths as a wave offering, and all were crying out for revival. We went a hour longer than normal for a Wednesday service. I noted in the testimony page of our website: "Something is about to break out on us."

After our return from the Lakeland Outpouring, Sunday morning (May 18) one of the leadership in the church approached me before Sunday School and said, "God is up to something. As soon as my feet hit the floor, I felt the Glory. I've been staggering around the house trying to get ready for church!"

Just before the morning service I joined the worship team and some of the intercessors in the prayer room. As we joined hands I told them "Today everything changes. We will no longer be the same from this day forward." Everything was "church-as-normal" until after the worship time. I had the worship team join the congregation, and was taking off my guitar when I heard the Lord say, "Take up the guitar and move the people closer to Me, as see what I will do."

I was actually saving two new songs for the evening impartation service, but the Lord said "Sing them NOW." As I began singing, "Cloud by day, fire by night, I need a resting place..." I felt like John the Baptist shouting "Prepare ye the way of the Lord!"

The more I sang the song, the greater the anointing. I told the people that Jesus was coming down the aisle, and to not let Him pass them by. Immediately a woman in her 70's stepped into the center aisle and was instantly healed. The more we sang the song the greater the anointing. It was as if God was using that particular song to carry the Glory into the church. Sunday morning service lasted until 2:00 PM. I told the people not to worry, they could go to eat lunch, because the Lord would still be here when we returned. And He was!

Sunday night we picked up where we left off....nearly 4 hours of worship in the Glory. The Lord had finally found His resting place here with us. We are enjoying a holy habitation! We all have a collective anticipation and expectation with an excited wonder of what the Lord will do the next time we meet.

First Assembly of God - Monahans

Pastor Shannon Vnsonhaler Update

Sunday Services, May 18, 2007

Last night the power of God fell like we have never seen before in our services. The church was completely full. There was a compelling word given on the new thing that God is doing in the earth. During ministry time the power of God was so strong that people were out on the floor for thirty minutes to an hour at a time. The children and teens were all on the floor trembling under the power of God. Miracles, healings, sings and wonders were all present.

People were healed of migraines, pinched nerves, arthritis, neck and back problems and joint pain. There was also a young lady who was healed of terrible pain in her mouth caused by excessive drug use and another who was about ninety percent deaf in both ears and God gave her a creative miracle and now she hears perfectly. Glory to God!!!!!! One man responded to a word of knowledge and lost almost two inches around his waist instantly. He was overwhelmed with joy jumping and shouting praises to the Lord.

God gave us a sign and wonder that took place during the week leading up to the meeting. I had asked the church to fast and pray during the noon hour in preparation for the healing and impartation services. One of the ladies who was taking part in this had recently purchased a silver plated bracelet. During the week she witnessed the bracelet changing colors to gold. She showed us the bracelet and it was a beautiful shiny gold bracelet. She also showed us the box with the reference number and two witnesses who testify that it was a silver bracelet when she bought it and the bracelet is not even available in gold. What a glorious sing that the glory of God is here. Praise God for his Wonders for He truly is an amazing God.
