Catching Up - 8/4/08 - Beware of Todd Bentley!

Wow… We have another false prophet among us and his name is Todd Bentley. In spite of what this man says, these “revivals” he does is NOT from God. And if it’s not from God, who can it be from? There’s only one alternative!

What Todd Bentley does and teaches is simply based on “transference,” the demonic act of transferring an anointing that Exodus 30 condemns. Just simply go to You Tube and search for a video titled “Todd Bentley – Not Drunk As You Would Suppose” and you’ll see first hand this man’s unbiblical teaching and preaching. The odd head bobbing and uncontrollable laughter is one thing, but when he performs his “transfer” of anointing for healing is even sicker.

Look through other videos linked to this one and you’ll see him say with his own lips and you can hear with your own ears his teaching of doctrines of demons—professing that he has discussions with an angel named Emma (there is no angel named Emma in the Bible) and stating that he “healed” a woman by kicking her in the face with his boot (Jesus, Paul, Timothy, or the disciples never anywhere in the Bible healed in a violent manner).

A few weeks ago, ABC News had a special on their Nightline show about Bentley and this so-called “Lakeland Revival.” They reported on a boy that had a medical condition that couldn’t walk very well. The boy went up to the front for “healing” and apparently was healed. However, moments after the “revival meeting” was finished, the boy could barely stand. The boy also continued to attend many other meetings in Lakeland hoping for additional healing, but continues to have difficulty walking and standing. All I can say is that when the power of the Holy Spirit performed healing in the Bible, it was complete healing 100% of the time. Jesus didn’t do a partial job to allow a person to remain with part of their handicap.

A local church in downtown Fargo is playing the web-casts of the “Bentley revivals” from god.tv. All I can say is that people need to beware of these false signs and wonders.
