TODD BENTLEY FALSE FLORIDA REVIVAL PART 3

I GET NO BUZZ OUT OF PUTTING UP POSTS LIKE THIS.

BUT AS YOUR BROTHER AND ONE WHO WISHES SIMPLY TO STAND ON THE WALL AND BE A WATCHMAN I GIVE YOU THE FOLLOWING MESSAGE ESPECIALLY IF YOU ARE AMONG THOSE WHO REMAIN UNCONVINCED ABOUT TODD BENTLEY AND THE "REVIVAL."

GOD DOES NOTHING OUTSIDE OF HIS WORD. CHRISTIANS NEED TO BE IMMERSED IN THE WORD SO AS TO BE AWARE AND PREPARED TO STAND AGAINST THE DECEPTIONS OF THE LAST DAYS.

DECEPTION/APOSTASY IS THE ONE END TIME EVENT JESUS AND THE APOSTLES SPOKE ABOUT 4 TIMES MORE THAN ANY OTHER END TIMES SIGN.

BUT THE CHURCH AT LARGE REFUSES TO LISTEN OR TO LIVE A HOLY SEPARATED LIFE BEFORE THE LORD.
WE THINK "YA SHALL BE HOLY" MEANS GOD MAKES US HOLY IN SPITE OF OUR LIFE STYLE.

WRONG! BE YE HOLY IS A COMMAND. BE YE SEPARATE, DIFFERENT, OTHER THAN THE REST OF THE WORLD.

ANYWAY I'LL STEP OFF THE SAOP BOX.

PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING ARTICLE. IT IS VERY TELLING.

"ANGELS" & the FLORIDA HEALING REVIVAL - Warning!-
by Andrew Strom.

I continue to get emails about last week's article - "A FALSEHEALING REVIVAL?" Some people strongly agree, while othersare totally outraged that I would question the healings or othermanifestations that are occurring.

Personally I am deeply saddened that I even have to put out thesewarnings. I get no pleasure out of it. In fact I hate having to talkabout this stuff.

But what happens if something is seriously amiss and yet no warnings are given? Is it right to be silent in such a case? What about the precious sheep? Shouldn't they be warned?

What a lot of people may not realize is that the leader of the revival Todd Bentley has a long history in the "Laughing/ Drunkenness"movement - but also is a leading proponent of strange "Angel"encounters (and I do mean 'strange'). Todd has openly promotedthese encounters for years - in fact he is well-known for leading others into contact with these 'angels' too. This has been a big part of his ministry for a very long time. And it is really no different now.

Here are a couple of extracts from Todd's 2003 article 'Angelic Hosts':

"So when I need a financial breakthrough I don't just pray and ask God for my financial breakthrough. I go into intercession and become a partner with the angels by petitioning the Father for the angels that are assigned to getting me money: "Father, give me the angels in heaven right now that are assigned to get me money and wealth. And let those angels be released on my behalf. Let them go into the four corners of the earth and gather me money."

Todd continues..."EMMA, ANGEL Of The PROPHETICNow let me talk about an angelic experience with Emma. Twice Bob Jones asked me about this angel that was in Kansas City in 1980: "Todd, have you ever seen the angel by the name of Emma?" He asked me as if he expected that this angel was appearing to me. Surprised, I said, "Bob, who is Emma?" He told me that Emma was the angel that helped birth and start the whole prophetic movement in Kansas City in the 1980s.

She was a mothering-type angel that helped nurture the prophetic as it broke out. Within a few weeks of Bob asking me about Emma, I was in a service in Beulah, North Dakota. "In the middle of the service I was in conversation with Ivan and another person when in walks Emma.

As I stared at the angel with open eyes, the Lord said, "Here's Emma." I'm not kidding. She floated a couple of inches off the floor. It was almost like Kathryn Khulman in those old videos when she wore a white dressand looked like she was gliding across the platform. Emma appeared beautiful and young - about 22 years old - but she was old at the same time. She seemed to carry the wisdom, virtue and grace of Proverbs 31 on her life. She glided into the room, emitting brilliant light and colors.

Emma carried these bags and began pulling gold out of them. Then, as she walked up and down the aisles of thechurch, she began putting gold dust on people... Within three weeks of that visitation, the church had given me the biggest offering I had ever received to that point in my ministry. Thousands of dollars! Thousands!...

During this visitation the pastor's wife (it was an AOG church) got totally whacked by the Holy Ghost - she began running around barking like a dog or squawking like a chicken as a powerful prophetic spirit came on her.

Also, as this prophetic anointing came on her, she started getting phone numbers ofcomplete strangers and calling them up on the telephone and prophesying over them...

Then angels started showing up in the church." [END QUOTE]

More recently, Todd stated that in one of his "Third Heaven" trips he literally visited the small cabin where the apostle Paul lives in Heaven. Paul told him that he wrote the book of Hebrews with the personal help of Abraham the Patriarch: “The authorship isn’t clear because it was Abraham and I; Abraham shared the content with me.”

Todd's 'Third Heaven' tales are full of such astonishing claims - and of course, more angels. (See 'A Face To Face Encounter - Part 2 of 2' - By Todd Bentley). Lest anyone think that Todd may have changed his ways in recent times, you should know that he is constantly mentioning his'angels' in the current Florida meetings also.

For instance, watch from about the 6-minute mark of the following video clip-http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w9mSCHJfnGEIn this video, Todd speaks of the angel that is going to "visit the children" and then he begins more and more to jerk and laugh uncontrollably.

He prays that a 'drunken glory' will move across the whole place - and you can see it happen in the audience.
This is all the same kind of stuff that Todd has been involved infor years.
There is nothing new in it. In fact, both Todd and Bob Jones credit an angel that carries the "Winds of Change" for the current healing revival - an angel that they say is still driving it.

As one young preacher commented who has been following the Florida meetings closely, Todd seems to talk about his "healing angel" even more than he talks about Jesus.

Yes - exactly!

We are warned explicitly in Scripture that the devil "transformshimself into an angel of light", and that in the Last Days will come'Lying signs and wonders' that will "deceive if possible the veryelect."

Do we really believe that the devil is unable to perform miracles?

Have we forgotten what the Bible clearly says? Some make the point that Todd obviously had a strong healing gift right from the start of his ministry - so some of the healingsin Florida may be genuinely from God. Yes - I agree that this ispossible - even likely.

But how can we trust anything at all coming from this source if it has become so tainted with all this pollution? Do we want such a man laying hands on us and imparting "anointings" or spirits into us?

I read a report from the UK yesterday that an English preacher has brought Todd's anointing back from Florida and now it is manifesting in his UK meetings: "Fire, a burning sensation, was felt all over people’s bodies... There were outbursts of joy, drunkenness and spontaneous healings throughout the meeting."

Other reports from the USA now speak of pastors having hands layed on them to receive the "Florida anointing".

The Elijah List claims that on New Year's Eve, for 2008, God told Bob Jones that "the third wave was coming." Todd asked Bob what the third wave was. He said that, "Toronto was wave #1, Pensacola was wave #2, and the third wave is the "Winds ofChange" -- this move of God.

This move will be a global move, traveling with signs and wonders all over the world! The third wave is here!" The Florida meetings have now moved into an 8000-seatauditorium. This "anointing" is spreading across the globe.
