"Todd Bentley: Prophetic? Or...PATHETIC!"
A BIBLICAL EXAMINATION OF THE "LAKELAND REVIVAL"

"As for the prophets: My heart is broken within me...
For both prophet and priest are polluted; even in My
house I have found their wickedness, declares the Lord."
Jeremiah 23:9,11
Dear God! HEAVEN HELP US!! It is a sad, sad day for Christianity . Major Christian Publications and major Christian leaders around the country are touting what is happening in Lakeland, Florida as "revival," and "the hand of the Lord" and "the new breed of prophet." Brothers and sisters...IT IS NOT! It is as the biblical prophet Hosea describes:
"My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge...
Since you have forgotten the Law of your God,
I also will forget your children."
Hosea 4:6
Dear ones,
THE GREATEST NEED IN THE CHURCH TODAY
IS THE GIFT OF DISCERNMENT.
Consider for yourself some of the antics that Todd Bentley is attributing to God :*
"The woman was standing in the back of the room when the faith of God hit the meeting and her tumor exploded out of her right leg, slid down her leg onto the floor. I said "God, I prayed for like a 100 crippled people. Not one?" He said And I'm thinking God, "Why is not the power of God moving?" The gift of faith came on me. He said "Kick her in the face - with your biker boot!" I inched closer and I went like this. BAM. And just as my boot made contact -Todd Bentley (bold mine)
Brothers and sisters, the "Age of Delusion" described in 2 Thessalonians, chapter 2 is in full affect. Long ago God spoke through the prophet Jeremiah concerning the last days. He warned:
"Do not listen to the words of the prophets who are
prophesying to you. They are leading you into futility;
They speak a vision of their own imagination,
NOT FROM THE MOUTH OF THE LORD ."
Jeremiah 23:16 (bold caps mine)
And just as God spoke so long ago, He speaks today saying, "In the last days you will clearly understand it. I did not send these prophets, but they ran. I did not speak to them, but they prophesied. But if they had stood in My council, then they would have announced My words to My people and would have turned them back from their evil way and from the evil of their deeds"
He who truly has an ear...let him hear what the real Spirit of God is speaking to His Church in the days prior to His return.
