One very important guidance/help I received through reading articles in Prophecy Today in 1994 or thereabouts, was the insight into 'The Toronto Blessing', I know Clifford wrote some things and David Noakes, especially after visiting Toronto Airport Vineyard church, when he gave a very discerning account of what he saw. I was going through a searching time about it all, as I had friends who thought it was all marvellous.
I came across Yacob Prasch at that time also - who was definitely against the manifestations etc. and saying why. So this all helped me discern what was going on - and sadly the risk of losing friends/positions if I spoke out.
When David Forbes described how nasty some Christians had been towards him after looking objectively at the situation, this made me all the more sure this wasn't from God and there was certainly a deception going on.
I felt then it was preparing us for the End Times which we are nearing now, when we need even more discernment, especially with the present corona virus situation and vaccine.
