Over the last few months, there has been a lot in the news about what's going on down in Florida with Todd Bentley. I haven't anything about it until now. I believe this to be a complete and total charade.
The first thing you must ask yourself when these guys start doing their thing is “Is this glorifying God?” and “Is the Gospel being preached?”
Just because he uses the name of “Jesus” does not mean that he is glorifying God. If he isn't preaching a message of repentance for the forgiveness of sins, it's NOT THE HOLY SPIRIT. Never in the Bible does the Holy Spirit ever glorify Himself. His job and his joy is to glorify Jesus Christ. If the Holy Spirit is working in believers; we, by extension, will do the same thing. We most certainly will not seek the glory ourselves, as Bentley appears to do in everything.
The following made me just sick to see:
Can you name one time in the Bible where Jesus healed someone by kicking them in the gut? This guy is about to die of cancer (he may be dead as I write this) and Bentley uses him as a pawn in his hypnosis show!?! I believe there is an especially hot corner of hell for people who do this sort of thing. I pray that Bentley repents before he ends up there.
Whomever put this video together certainly has an astute understanding of what's going on in Florida.
I grieve for those who go to Lakeland, Florida to see God moving. God may be moving in Lakeland, but it isn't at a Todd Bentley “revival meeting.”
Pray for Mr. Bentley, specifically for repentance. Pray for the people he seduces, specifically for wisdom.
