Todd Bentley

This has been on my mind for a while...

Those who have the pleasure of interacting with me during the day, know that I've been very excited about the outpourings that have been happening all around the world.

For those who don't know what I'm talking about, maybe you remember the Toronto Blessing in the mid-90s. Basically, what happened there in a small Airport Vineyard Church, is happening now again, just in more places at the same time, more powerful, more intense, and continually increasing. God is once again pouring out His spirit into His people (See Joel 2:28-32 and Acts 2). And from the looks of it and the reports, this is not going to stop! We're on the fast-track for a full-blown revival that will sweep across the nation and finally the whole earth!

for those who still haven't a clue of what I'm talking about, please email me or call me. We should hang out and talk about it over a cup of coffee :-)

Sooo... Todd Bentley..... and the revival in Lakeland. Man, the poor guy has been getting so much criticism and has been having to take so much crap. Yes, his methods seem quite odd when he's praying for people to get healed, like the lady he kicked in the face or the guy he knee-ed in the gut, but those people got healed didn't they? He says that God told him to do so. Oh, and I've heard my share of stories about people getting healed that way before too, so I know that it happens (my sources are very trustworthy).

The crazy thing is that he's being criticized by his own people, shot and stabbed in the back by Christians! That's really sickening to me. If you feel the need to judge him, at least do it in the biblical way, like a "real" Christian, by judging him by his fruits - he has lead over 1'000'000 people to Christ before he was 30...how many people have you lead to Christ (and think about it before you cast the first stone)?
The fruit speaks for itself.

(Sorry, but I must vent a little)

It was once prophesied over him that he would be covered in tattoos by the age of 30 and that he would offend those with a religious spirit. Man, have I never seen so many offended Christians! It definitely came true, but now we have a problem: the surprisingly powerful religious spirit in the church. And the scary thing is that people I've least expected to be offended by Todd's ministry, are some of those most opposed to him. Another thing that I think kinda flows into the same bucket, so to speak, is how many Christians oppose his ministry in arrogance, as to what denomination they belong to. What I keep hearing is "Oh, we don't do that in this denomination, but they do that in theirs." Or something like "Prophecy is a pentecostal thing; we don't operate in the gifts of the spirit in this church."

WTF???? - excuse my french (i know it's not really french)
Do they even look into a bible occasionally? The whole thing is overflowing with some of the weirdest experiences that people have with God and His power! Prophecy and speaking in tongues should be an everyday/normal thing compared to some of that other stuff!

What we really need to do as Christians is get serious about our faith. Yes, I'm talking to myself here too. We keep talking about being different and letting the world see that we're different and that what we have is so awesome that they should want it too. But we can't do that if we don't have anything to show...

The latest thing I've been hearing is reports about people getting saved through a prophetic word being given to them from a Christian. Basically, you're in the grocery store and God gives you a word of knowledge about the person standing right next to you and you share it with them. Their eyes fall out and their jaw drops to the floor because there's no way you could have known that about them. Then you tell them that God told you and he loves them and then you share the gospel with them and lead them to Christ...How simple is that? Don't say that the prophetic was for the 1st century church but God doesn't work that way anymore..People are getting added to the kingdom today, daily, because of it.

Friends, it's that time...time to get serious.
