Verified” Lakeland Resurrection from the Dead was a Lie
Thanks to poster ’Arise My Love’ for pointing this video out here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=toGYy-H3pCw&feature=related
From 6.20 minutes onwards on the video explains how the Fresh Fires Ministries passed through their ‘audit’ process an email, and Todd Bentley read out this same email of an alleged raising from the dead, without even attempting to check out any of the facts, let alone verifying them.
Update 17th July: despite explictly being told the story was false, they haven’t retracted this story from their website or verbally.
Anyone should know enough to never stop taking medication without talking with a doctor, no matter what Todd or anyone else says. It’s just common sense. Even I won’t do that.
Yes, and they vote early and often. LOL
Todd Bentley does not need to brutally kick old ladies in the head to heal them in the same manner in which we do not need to scream at Satan in order for our prayers to be heard.
In light of the fact that Todd’s own family did not believe his story that it was demons beating his mother up at night (because of Todd’s previous beating up his own mother), methinks Mr. Bentley would do much better laying off the “brutal” fake machismo act.
In fact, he should lay off the whole act completely as that’s what it is. The seeds of unbelief this cult has already sown are bitter fruit, indeed.
Please hold off on that old charismatic excuse that we have to look foolish in order that God’s will be done.
The whole Toronto Blessing was built upon this lie that it is Christian to bark like a dog, shake your head in prayer so it looks as though you might actually shake it off your neck, scream banshee screams as if God is deaf, roll on the floor and be drunk in the spirit — these were all put down in that classic book on false manifestations during Evan Roberts time.
Even Semour had a problem with these counterfeit manifestations at Azusa: true humility doesn’t look “foolish” it looks humble and does not draw attention to itself.
Delighting in punching colon cancer patients in the stomach in the name of healing (when no healing occurs) is the sign of a brute beast, not Christ.
It certainly isn’t love.
I’m not saying Bentley was right in doing this. I only said that Smith Wigglesworth did it and people were healed. I will NOT judge what is going on in FL because if it’s of God, it will remain. If it isn’t, God will remove it. I just know that people who have come back from there have had some good changes in their lives.
