News Report From Lakeland
Ueli And Charlotte Surbeck
Switzerland
WORLD COME ON OVER TO Lakeland, Florida.
For this LivingFire Ministry News Report we basically try to share our testimony from the past 3 weeks being in the Revival in Lakeland, hosted by Todd Bentley and his Fresh Fire Ministry team, who is being used by God to release this genuine Revival, and the strongest Global Outpouring the World has seen in the past two thousand years.
The Fountains of the Deep are opening for us like never before; God is speaking to His body through His Glory.
We all need to hold up the arms of our Brother Todd Bentley! The body of Christ needs to get behind God & Todd and this Outpouring!
Like the lady at the well in Samaria, after encountering Jesus she ran back to her town and said come and see the man that told me all I ever did, they believed her testimony and after they heard Jesus themselves THEY SAID, NOW WE BELIEVE NOT BECAUSE OF WHAT YOU SAID, BUT WE OURSELVES HAVE HEARD HIM AND WE KNOW THIS IS INDEED THE MESSIAH, THE SAVIOR OF THE WORLD!
Come and see the man at the well, for yourselves, He is in Lakeland, pouring out His Spirit On all flesh!
The Glory of God is so powerful one night as we fell to the floor during Worship, I felt the Glory so powerful like a blanket covering over me, You are very careful to even breathe because the Holiness comes in like a Holy Hush and enters in such a way that no one can stand or speak, you can feel His Holiness. God is Magnificent!
Words are not flowing easily for us in trying to express what God has done in our lives trough our 26 day (so far) pilgrimage to Lakeland… God has visited us in such magnificence that we are not the same, either of us…We can’t get enough; we are even more hungry for the Glory of God and His Presence.
I first met Todd Bentley at Mahesh Chavda’s Church in SC, in a three day meeting where Todd laid hands on me many times and then I met him in Jerusalem at the Sheridan Hotel where he had several meetings and I went every night and received prayer from Todd many times, I remember he had to be carried out when he finished praying for everyone, he just fell over.
I remember the song by Billy Ray Cyrus sang “All gave some, but some gave all” I believe Todd Bentley gives his all to God and that is why God has chosen him in this hour, The Lord told me, “the phonies will not stand in this Outpouring”, and I believe that’s another reason Todd was chosen, because that Religious Spirit in America just can not accept Todd Bentley…
We met our Friends from Hamburg, Germany, they have supported LivingFire for many years, and I had never met them in person, Ueli met them in the Black Forest in Germany at a Seminar in 2001. What a blessing for us, they are wonderful friends, and what a blessing for us to get to Praise God with them, Dierk, Sigrid and Noemi, we love you! We just heard they are returning to the Revival for three weeks with several Youth from their Ministry. Praise the Lord!
We also are so fortunate that God has given us such favor, double portion anointing. We were there when Todd released it, and when he released the thousand fold blessing, and we received that too.
Hope someone is watching the Revival and saw us last night (July 1st), it was Glory on that platform awesome how God healed my Thyroid, I had gained all this weight after our 90 day fast two years ago and realized I had a big round knot in my throat, last night Todd called it out that a tumor in the throat was dissolving, and when Todd pointed out to me, first the Holy Spirit came upon me I felt cold in my ears then I felt liquid fire running down my face to my throat and I literally felt the tumor melt, and dissolve, Praise God.
I looked at Ueli and said feel it and he said it’s gone. It was funny because the reason I could go up there on stage because we were praying for people in Lakeland and arrived past the usual time to get on the Ministry Team. After they took us down from the Platform we went in a tent out back and they (GOD TV) interviewed Ueli & I for 15 or 20 minutes, on our Testimony and other things, I hope I can get that on DVD.
I also received three other healings while I have been here but I was on the Ministry team praying for people so I couldn’t testify. So I want to do that right now, because when you testify to what God has done for you, I believe it seals the Healing. The Bible says in Revelation 12:11, “And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.”
My kidneys were really hurting me I asked Richard the (head of the Ministry Team) to pray for me for my kidneys, he put his hands on my back at the kidneys and I had a warm sensation and then it became hot and I saw a crown of thorns around my waist and it broke apart and when it did I felt the release of both kidneys as being very clear, clean. Richard also prayed for my leg and my leg that I re-injured in Indiana in a fall on the Ice, that night as he prayed for my leg, I saw a beam of light come down and go through my leg and all the stiffness and pain left immediately. Amen.
Todd has personally laid hands on both of us and anointed us Six times with the Healing Anointing and oil, and we have been on the Ministry Team 10 or 11 times, and Richard that is on Todd’s team imparts the Healing Anointing each night you serve on the Ministry Team, it is so powerful, and one night I said to Richard, give it to me like a man, I was laid out 1 ½ hours before I could get up, and when Ueli bent down to check on me he said I was covered in gold dust.
During the Ministry time we have seen miracles and healings, and people so hungry for God, people we have prayed for who have received their healing and were delivered, set free, and we have met friends, that asked us to go to their friends to minister. We found favor in our housing with a Christian couple we just met and they gave us a beautiful room at a very decent price, Amen
A few of our observations in the Lakeland Revival!
We are so thankful to be here during this time of the Outpouring of God’s Spirit, exactly like it is prophesied in the Book of Joel. There are several things, which truly touched our hearts which I would like to share:
First of all Todd’s faithfulness to preach the most simple Gospel, with the demonstration of God’s power in healing the sick, raising the dead and casting out devils, exactly the way God has called His Body to do. Hearing His testimony of how he came to the Lord and started to preach the Gospel, how he was called to the Ministry and how he sticks to this call is absolutely great and I believe God is using him, to give the Body of Christ a new Vision and Demonstration of our most basic calling to preach the Gospel and do the stuff, pray for the sick, cast out devils and raise the dead! I also believe, that God is rewarding Todd with this fresh anointing, because of his faithfulness over this past 10 years to do, what he was called to do and how hungry is to see God’s Kingdom and God’s Glory come on earth. Todd gives all the Glory to God, we have never seen him take anything for him, all the Glory is given to our Lord Jesus, the Messiah. He imparts freely, of what has been given to him, what we do with it is our responsibility! He is a testimony, that whosoever comes to the Lord, can be radically changed, delivered and used by God, to do the mighty works and exploits in the Kingdom of God!
Are you hungry for God’s Glory and His Kingdom to come?
Second, America and the Body of Christ worldwide need a totally fresh Outpouring of God’s Spirit today! It is one of the most amazing things, watching the testimonies coming in from around the world, especially from the Middle East and Asia, how God’s Spirit is touching these Nations through this Revival. This should let every heart rejoice!
There is so much religion, backsliding and so much heresy in America and finally a young man from Canada stands up, anointed by our Lord and releases a fresh anointing to the Body of Christ, should rejoice every normal Born Again Believer who has been longing for God’s mighty hand to move.
Yes I believe this Outpouring is so strong, it will create a window of special Grace for God to move in America for a season, which America desperately needs! If anybody watched the elections over the past few months, which most of us have done, and see, what is on the horizon…then we understand it is either now or never, to cry out and at the same time embrace the Outpouring of God’s Spirit. The simple fact that one of the candidates refuses any endorsement from the Christian leaders at one side and at the other side a candidate which is buddies with a PLO adviser and professor, should wake us up very radically and help us to get our guts together and jump into the River of God, America it is now or never!
Third, many people, even some good friends of ours have questions, are these miracles real, are all of this visions happening in this Revival true?
I can tell you one thing for SURE AND POSITIVE; the Anointing in this Revival is one of the Holiest, most pure and the strongest Anointings we ever encountered. Concerning the preaching we heard in the past 20 Days we have not found one mistake or heresy! But it was excellent and each time very broad and deep in the issues covered!
Fourth, God is setting in the Lakeland Revival a new standard for Worship and High Praise. It is truly life changing to participate each night at least in one and a half hour worship to celebrate Jesus, our Savior and King of kings. How many Churches, Cities even Nations would be radically changed, simply if the Body of Christ would worship in each service for an hour and a half in holiness and enter the Holy of Holy and would see the Fire of the Holy Spirit fall?! I believe that’s where the Body of Christ is going, and we better go there, before we have to!
Fifth, the past 3 years several clear words have been spoken, of a Real and a Counterfeit Revival going on in the Body of Christ. Over this past 10 years we have for sure seen both of it!
I can tell you for sure; this Outpouring is the real thing! This does not mean every thing is perfect. Because where ever the Spirit of God moves in Power, the flesh, the devil (religion/witchcraft) tries to mess it up. But I believe so far Todd stood the test, not to give in to any of them, including the pressure of men who demand miracles, miracles, miracles, rather the Presence and the Glory of God have increased since and is still increasing!
Our Prayer for Todd
We pray that God will give Todd, his Family and Team the ability to keep standing and preaching the Gospel as long as it is God’s time for Lakeland to do so, and once done there, beyond to the Nations!
An Indication:
Ueli has been involved in Publications for 12 years, reading and evaluating hundreds of Books as well as Authors and because of this I can say the following:
If you need some indications where counterfeit Revivals are today, then I can give you a few indications:
If you go to any Christian Bookstore in North America, you find approximately 20 books written just for Children, which originated by witchcraft. For Instance a lot of the books written just for children that are in the Christian Book Stores, the exact same books are also found in the Occult Bookstores!
The Diluted Gospel which means you find books with 30 % truth, 60 % human wisdom and approximately 10% poison...sold by the Millions…
Also check out the books which include the Word: “Driven”
somewhere in its Title, millions of them have been sold, even so, we know that the Spirit of God is not driving anyone! He leads, comforts, sanctifies and empowers people, but never drives them!
The one who is doing the driving is from the pit of Hell…!
God says if you dilute His Word in anyway, you damn yourself.
Go to the average American Church, where fornication and divorce is higher rated than in the World…that’s where the false Revival takes place, but this is not what you can see and witness here in the Revival in Lakeland. In this Revival backsliders, sinners and fornicators are saved, radically changed, God’s holiness, God’s Fire, presence and purity imparted!
I hope, these points give every doubting Thomas enough to think and pray about!
This is the hour to embrace the real River of God’s Spirit, jump in, drink and dive as much as you can and receive the Teaching, Preaching and the Revelations, flowing from the unpolluted River of God’s Spirit!
Are you hungry for more of God, more of His Glory, more of His Kingdom?
Come and dip seven times at least! It’s the best thing you can do this summer! The true Bride of our Lord is supposed to have her lamp and extra jar full of oil, on fire, pure and holy, without spot and wrinkle! This is the hour to refill your lamp, all the extra jars with fresh oil, to rise and shine and walk with our Lord, closer and closer until He will return in the Clouds!
PLEASE CONTINUE TO PRAY FOR TODD AND HIS TEAM, AND THE OUTPOURING IN LAKELAND, TO GOD BE GIVEN ALL THE GLORY, PRAISE AND HONOR!
Shalom and be blessed!

Words and Prayers for Switzerland
Ueli and Charlotte Surbeck
February 6, 2008
The Lord came this morning into our prayers in a new dimension, He gave us many Visions and Words for us and at the end of our prayers we ask the Lord how to pray for Switzerland,
He said:
“Pray for their Hunger of the Word”, Their Daily Bread, I will feed their hunger” NO FAMINE, MANNA FROM HEAVEN FOR THEM ALL WHO HUNGER FOR THE WORD”
But, there will be Famine of the Word, for those who do not hunger for God's Word!
Let us be the first to Hunger for your Word Lord, Ueli and Charle' hunger for your Word, for your righteousness, your holiness, and for the deep things of God. And Lord we ask you to create this hunger and thirst for you in Switzerland today more than ever, so you can answer with the best food and drink available in your Kingdom. And Lord we ask you to release a fresh measure of Revival Fire to be poured out over Switzerland, over the Mountains, over the Valleys, into the Seas and the Hearts of all the Men, Woman, and Children, Bam, Bam, Bam, Shikabumba!
Please Lord remove the religion that is choking the peoples hearts towards you. And may all the sick old traditions of man be broken and all curses of witchcraft, free-masonry and greed be broken, off their minds and hearts right now Lord as we pray and renew a right spirit within your people, that have been sifted and deceived by the enemy for centuries.
But, a good people Lord, they love you and bless you and are hard working people.
God, don't forget your children in Europe, so many who are lost and deceived. Have Mercy, Lord we ask You to pour out your Spirit of Grace and Supplication and fill Cities and Churches, Highways and Byways with your Glory, Blood, Power and Grace to Redeem and Restore!
Bless our Family and Friends for their hunger Lord...
