wintery -> Florida HealingOutpouring-here we go again (5/1/2008 11:42:04 AM)

Have you guys been hearing about this one yet?

Todd Bentley. Comments?

You can read one of their bulletins here.

It's another Brownsville-type thing. The bulletin I linked says Rick Joyner's gotten his nose in it--"Prophet Rick Joyner has reported that two of his high school students came down to the outpouring… drove all night home to be in class on Monday morning… shared in their Bible Class what they experienced… and now the POWER OF GOD HAS HIT THE ENTIRE MORNING STAR CAMPUS!!!" Sorry about the caps, that's their doing.

The "yuck factor" is highly increased for me with this quote: "Todd wants the “blessing of the fathers of revival.” He's referring to John Kilpatrick and Steve Hill of Brownsville.

A few photos here.

I'm highly skeptical.

Hey, that "debt cancellation" service sounds pretty nifty...[8|]

I read about this new "outpouring" the other day and just rolled my eyes. With all of those tattoos Todd Bentley's is sporting, I would like to see him tattoo "I'm a fraud" across his forehead. Now that would be truth in advertising!

Todd Bentley has some incredible disturbing and extra-biblical teachings.

I was recently on his website, Fresh Fire, and went through some of his teaching. Oh. My. Word.

I read about one where he went up into the third heavens, and met Paul (yes, the writer of half the NT) at his house (which was like, a cabin in a meadow). Paul had him eat all of his writings (those that we know of, and those that we don't have).

Paul also made Todd eat the book of Hebrews (as we are all aware, the author of the book of Hebrews is unknown. There are guesses, and some feel it is Paul, but most do not). Well, Todd asked Paul about that. Paul said that of course he wrote it, but the reason that it sounds different than his other writings was because when Paul himself visited the third heavens, Paul met up with Abraham, and Abraham told him exactly what to write.

After his visit with Paul, Todd was again outside of Paul's house, and noticed a ladder going up into the sky. And he climbed it. And it took him into the fourth heaven. . . the fifth. . . I think he said there were seven or eight different geographical levels of heaven.

And of course Todd teaches that through meditation, every believer can enter into the third heaven.

And this, of course, barely scratches the surface of some of the things this man says.

He preaches about "double anointings."

He preached about angels of prosperity that were the cause of revival, because he also teaches that financial prosperity is the sign of a true revival.

He also proclaims that the Bible is not enough for him, but desires special revelations.

Grrr. I would write more, but I am getting frustrated just trying to weed through what this man says. . .

To conclude. . . I am skeptical of Lakeland, because of its leader, a false teacher, and an A-1 lunatic.

Note to the 'Outpouring' folks: The Holy Spirit does not need your permission of 'freedom' to do anything. This is God we're talking about, not a 'force' to be controlled by you.

Todd cries out, “I take dominion over this place and I welcome that same healing anointing that has come to us every night!!!”


Well, he's going to have to take a number and get in line since God has dominion and I don't think He's giving it up anytime soon.

All I got was a smudge.

But I could probably take a picture of the smudge and call it a "Glory Orb" and these people would just eat it up.




earthless -> RE: Florida HealingOutpouring-here we go again (5/1/2008 12:57:20 PM)

After over 15 years of dealing with these heretical and emotionally driven events - I am deeply saddened by the innocent Christians and non-believers who only get this kind of biblical exposure.

For shame.....




1love1God1way -> RE: Florida HealingOutpouring-here we go again (5/1/2008 12:59:11 PM)

It truly is heartbreaking to see so many that are earnestly seeking truth, but being spoon fed deceit.

Two of the sad things that will be a legacy of the revival of the last decade are that there are people that will always want to try and "revive it". While some of those people who were there for the previous revival decried or denounced "traditionalism" this is now embedded and is something many of them will look back on. The second thing is that many people of many churches are going to want to continually recreate it in their churches to get the publicity, money, fame etc. They may be sincere about it and most of them will be sincere but one of the sad and overlooked things about these "moves of God" is how much attention they will pay to where is the Spirit moving (my church), where are people getting blessed (my church), etc.

Well, I guess that's bound to happen when we don't have enough faith to receive a miracle by touching our computer screens.

Though in all seriousness-I have a friend who was just telling me about this "Florida Revival" last night...and she buys it hook, line and sinker. It's sad really.

You laugh but. . . HERE THEY ARE!

These people have never heard of a lens flare. . .

They also have never heard of rear curtain syncing. . . it's a photograph technique that creates the blurred lights they call angels. . .




1love1God1way -> RE: Florida HealingOutpouring-here we go again (5/1/2008 6:59:57 PM)

Those videos aren't directly related to the Florida Healing, but it is the same things that people like Todd Bentley claim to be true.

colliefan -> RE: Florida HealingOutpouring-here we go again (5/1/2008 10:17:48 PM)

I am sadend that people chase after an emotional experience rather than the knowledge of the holy. People err in two extremes: making their faith an only an intelectual exercise or an emotional experience. Somehow, the two need to be merged where that experience has been based on the solid word of God,

Preach on that.

This link is to a page with an email from Andrew Strom regarding this Florida topic. It speaks about Todd Bentley, Bob Jones, a "mothering angel" named "Emma", and more.

This should be enough for people to turn away from such a man but people seem to rush to this sort of thing.




wintery -> RE: Florida HealingOutpouring-here we go again (5/2/2008 11:42:26 AM)

Today's posting says "Jesus walks into the room" and "Todd anointed a special prayer shawl in this outpouring… and it has been carried to Jerusalem… it has been placed in the upper room with all of the prayer requests that have come into God.TV", plus the continuing influence of Bob Jones and his unnamed "spiritual daughter".




1love1God1way -> RE: Florida HealingOutpouring-here we go again (5/2/2008 11:49:57 AM)

“The Lord told me that he wants me to receive a million dollar offering… one thousand people that will give one thousand dollars…Many came tonight to receive… but how many of us came here to give?"




lw9 -> RE: Florida HealingOutpouring-here we go again (5/2/2008 11:56:20 AM)

More from today's posting:

quote:

Todd grabs the mic with no introduction… “we are like the 24 elders around the throne…
HOLY, HOLY, HOLY…”

The miracles begin flooding to the stage…

Todd is FLOWING with words of knowledge… many are very specific…

TAKE STEPS OF FAITH… “THANK YOU JESUS FOR MY HEALING RIGHT NOW!!!”

“I FEEL POWER AND AUTHORITY OVER ALL THE POWER THE ENEMY POSSESSES…”

I FEEL LIKE I CAN RIP CANCER RIGHT OUT OF YOUR BODY!!!”


Getting a little big for his britches, isn't he.

quote:

A lady with kidney problems… she’s shaking… she felt like JESUS CAME INTO HER BODY…


While Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are one, since when does Jesus personally possess a body? The Holy Spirit can dwell within, or demons can possess a body.
