Last year during the Lakeland ‘revival’ hype a clarion voice with quick wit, solid knowledge of the bible and a low tolerance for the lies and falseness of Todd Bentley, the Straders and New Apostolic Reformation (NAR) leaders started putting up hard hitting videos on You Tube.
He had a decent eye, his videos were an effective way of communicating truth during a period of time when charismatic media went into overdrive to deceive and spiritually trap as many people as possible with ‘Lakeland.’
Local Pastor is no longer on You Tube, there are many others putting up videos, thousands of posts written about the on-going deception of neo-charimania.
Local Pastor was unique. A few of his videos were watched hundreds of thousands of times, and I don’t his work jolted many people out of their stupor and from being dazzled by spiritual bling.
I’m grateful to him, he was north on a moral and spiritual compass during a deliberately orchestrated spiritual storm.
Thanks LP, you’ll be missed.
What happened, was he banned, killed/
Hi Eric:
I don’t know, my contact with him was through YouTube email.
I’m glad I uploaded 2 of his videos.
But its a pity he left.
I just hope he will pop up on another channelname.
good article, my sentiments exactly and very well put. i wonder what happened, he is such a special pastor and was a tremendous help and comfort to me through all that mess.
So sorry to hear LocalPastor is no longer on YouTube. I haven’t been on there for some time and today tried to search for his videos, I had subscribed to him and found he is not on there. May the Lord continue to use him somewhere to bring sanity to this present insanity.
I’m looking for the video where Local Pastor compares the worship at Lakeland with I Kings 18 Help!!
Hi Laura:
A lot depends on how blogs loaded the videos – I embedded so they are all gone. Others downloaded, I’ve seen a few around.
Best I can suggest is hit blog searches like Technorati, Google blogs and check out who chattered about this, check out their links…
No luck…If anyone can forward a link I would very much appreciate it.
Thanks for your response.
Hi Laura:
I’ll keep an eye open.
