However, I think there are times where we should live in the middle – avoiding both extremes of the situtation – particularly concerning the “getting some” of spiritual gifts.

Though I do disagree with the “come to Lakeland to get some of God” mentality, I also disagree with “my hearts desire is not to “Get Some” of God.”

I firmly believe that we can receive supernatural gifts/blessings (whatever you want to call it) from God today. I firmly believe that God can and does move His people in unique ways – though a true move of God in my opinion is an extreme rarity.

I don’t think we “experience” Him as much as we say we do. His existance in our lives based on a feeling or an emotion – it’s a relationship. And in that relationship, He sometimes chooses to “salt” us with gifts/blessing. Does it look like the Lakeland Florida “outpouring?”

Personally I’d have to say no.
