Heartbreaking video from healing rally – Morris Cerullo

This has to be one of the most heartbreaking videos I have seen for a long time. A gorgeous, beautiful but very sick little girl, Natalia Barned, prayed preyed on by a wolf. I saw this the other day on a much longer video (which did not have the conclusion on it until the very end), and it was obvious to me this little girl was not healed, and that Morris Cerullo knew it as much as I did at the time, and that this little girl was saying whatever she was told to basically and was being USED. It’s bad enough when a wolf preys on an adult. But when he brazenly does it to a child – well it infuriates me. How dare he savage a lamb (and its mother) like this – and all for money, not the gospel!

  1. I saw this video a few days ago myself… it’s very sad. If you look at the poor little girl’s face… she just looks so miserable. I don’t know how her mother could put her through such a thing. Matthew 18:6 “Whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to sin, it would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck, and he were drowned in the depth of the sea.”

    I don’t think the LORD spoke those words lightly.

  2. You know, I just don’t have any words right now to describe how I felt after watching that video. Sad beyond belief would be a good description but now anger is taking over – that this ‘man of God’ is nothing but a lying, greedy, despicable, manipulating, crowd pleasing, psychopath!

    When I was little, around 4 years old. My granny would take me to Rhema South (it was a tent on a farm – if I remember correctly). I would go to the Sunday school whereas my grandparents would go to the main tent. One day and I remember this like it was yesterday and I will never forget this as long as I live; The minister asked the kids if they wanted God to heal them if they were sick.

    I raised my little hand and said, ‘I suffer with terrible headaches and right now I am suffering from hay fever (because the we sat on haystacks and every Sunday I spent more time blowing my nose and sneezing and wheezing than anything else). He told me to go to the front and I did. He laid hands on me along with a whole lot of other people and prayed in a loud voice for God to heal me, and then after about 1 minute he said, ‘Hallelujah this child has been healed’.

    I looked up at him with tissue in hand, red puffy eyes, a runny nose and thought, ‘no I’m not’. Everyone went off like pockets rockets with ‘Hallelujah’ and ‘Praise the Lord’. I stood there bewildered and said to the pastor amidst the noise, ‘but then why do I feel like I still have hay fever?’ and he said to me, (not sure if anyone else heard it), ‘oh it will get better over time.’ I walked back to my little haystack, crying my heart out.

    At that young age, I knew that these people were liars and did something that God didn’t ask them to do. I knew it was fake and I knew that God did not operate like this.

    After that I begged and pleaded with my granny to let me come and sit with them in the main church. She said she didn’t think kids were allowed there. I begged and said I didn’t want to go to the Sunday school. She never asked me why, but come next Sunday I remember sitting with my grandparents in the main tent.

    I still suffer with hay fever to this day, and I pretty much always have a headache. I never got better ‘over time’.

    This little girls look on her face reminded me of how I felt that day :( I can only begin to imagine what she was thinking: ‘no I’m not’.

  4. Deborah -

    Your story is tragic, but sadly all too common. Let me encourage you (and I know you know this anyway) that although men lie, God does not, and He heals as surely as healed 2,000 years ago, and as surely as He healed me a few years ago.

    Debs, I pray that the Lord would release you from your physical torment this day, and set you free completely to run for him unhindered, in Jesus’ name, and only for His sake and His glory, and the glory of no man. Lord, you have heard your servant before and spoken your word and stretched out your hand and performed signs and wonders and healed me, now please hear me now, and heal Deborah….. to point to and to glorify your name and testify to your wonderful Son, Jesus, the only way, truth and life. Amen.

  5. A front-page feature article in The Times of India [India’s largest selling newspaper] on 17 October 1992 reported that “A so-called miracle healer, Morris Cerullo, who prefers to call himself a man of God, was declared ‘persona non gratia’ and bundled out of the country by Calcutta police this morning after mass healing services on Park Circus Maidan yesterday evening turned into a fiasco when members of the crowd stormed the dais challenging the efficacy of his healing power”. The article went on to declare that “For indulging in undesirable activities Morris Cerullo was put on a plane bound for the US this morning”. It was reported that the crowd became restive as Mr Cerullo could not prove his healing power…The Indian crowd had the good sense to test the claims of Cerullo. It is a pity that British crowds seem more naïve.

  6. Challenged in a live television interview to produce his three best cases from the week for public scrutiny, Cerullo found himself under an intense spotlight Joan Bakewell’s “Heart of the Matter” team presented the cases in a powerful television documentary, leaving Cerullo protesting that he needed more time. He consequently appealed to people on his mailing list to come forward with their stories and set up a medical panel to analyse them.

    Cerullo’s posters claimed they had 2,250 cases from which to choose. A year later, after the medical panel’s final meeting, a public statement from one of the doctors said emphatically that “there is no evidence that anything has occurred that is outside the realm of normal clinical experience” (1). A study of his ‘best cases’ was published recently in the USA (2), allegedly after a vigorous attempt by Cerullo’s solicitors to silence the writer.

    Cerullo has become a dominant figure in the world of American TV healer-evangelists. His mailing list is his key to success. Fundraising letters are sent out month by month pleading for cash. People in debt are singled out for special treatment, with miracles of ‘debt cancellation’ offered to those who give thirty pounds or more. Two years ago, his organisation, which operates around the world, was valued at over twenty million pounds.

  7. Hullo:-) .. i live in New Zealand and have been watching Todd Bentley’s revival in Florida via YouTube the past 3 weeks.. I initially was shocked to see what he looked like, however, I was judging by human standards.. after much consistent research, reading all the gossip and hear-say blogs and forums, checking with scripture whether the outpouring is the Holy Spirit. “in my opinion” i so far, am saying YES it is of God, the True Jesus Christ and Holy Spirit… the more i study and learn about what Todd Believes in.. the more real it is becoming. I have prayed and asked God to affirm the truth but so far no personal answer. Today i listened to Todd Bentley preaching on ” THE SECRET PLACE OF HIS POWER” posted Jan2008. and I think the entire message is correct and true.. no normal Christian has the attitude and approach and thirst for God and Truth as Todd Bentley has expressed in this message. If you have not heard it I challenge you http://www.freshfire.ca/media_centre/mediaPlayer.html

    I realise that there are some things that Todd says and does are NOT scriptural, but this should not discourage us from seeking the truth, my motto is “keep the good & discard the evil” .. Todd is a man and has the same temptations and lack of knowledge and error mixed with truths in his life as we ALL do {if any man says he has no sin he is a liar} Yes I know the Blood of Jesus cleanses us from all sin etc.. and we are saved by Grace alone (sorry not here to preach, so will get back to the topic) I do think God has sent Todd with 1 main purpose and that is to start revival and minister in miracles and healings to bring us Christians back to walking with God.. I personally wouldn’t be to concerned with everything that Todd teaches.. as long as he is acknowledging his power is from Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit and God the Father there can be no deception. It is the anti-christ spirit which denies Jesus Christ as Lord and I have not heard Todd deny Jesus – he gives all the glory to Him. It is not our choice on how God uses men to give Him Glory. He can make an animal speak or the stones themselves and that is scriptural. In my opinion using Todd is God’s blessing because many young people would never go near any Pentecostal or Baptist church and proof is thousands are being saved!! they are turning to Jesus and reading His Word, if this was of the devil then he is fighting for the wrong camp – remember Jesus was accused of using demonic power and at the end was crucified.. the same is true today.. they want to crucify Todd.. I say crucify the falseness and keep the truth, it’s not about Todd, but about salvation and healing from God in Jesus Christ and the power of His Holy Spirit – you can reject Todd and his teachings but do not reject God – there is salvation in NO other name except Jesus Christ [now, I am preaching!@!] J and from what I have seen and heard there is much truth in this revival – don’t discard it, be careful and test the spirits, pray about everything and seek God yourself.

    God’s will is repentance, but how can one repent if one does not first come to Jesus. Sinners came to Jesus. Jesus always healed first, cast out the demon then told them to sin no more. Salvation is ALL God’s Grace from beginning (calling) to end (receiving Jesus as Lord & Saviour). I am still listening to Todds preaching and am astounded in the depth that God has taken him… so far so good!!.. if someone has never experienced visions, revelations, prophesies, dreamt dreams and felt the presence of God in their lives then they should not judge what Todd is on about, lest they be found to be Judging God Himself – “whoever judges God’s servant judges Him who sent him”. I would advise great caution in what is said about Todd.

    I think that many Pentecostal church gatherings are very fleshly, with the band playing and people praying stuff they really have no belief in, just the feel good stuff, no more anointed than a heathen rock concert. However, I do know personally that God can anoint “any” music or words for His Glory and our Salvation. I challenge anyone reading this to listen to Todds preaching, it is very scriptural (or am I reading the wrong bible? – ie. King James)

    http://www.freshfire.ca/media_centre/mediaPlayer.html

    If you don’t have an open mind to listen to Todd preaching, then try Derek Prince Ministries:> He was used by God to deliver power of healings & miracles.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Derek_Prince

    As for people in Todd’s meetings making noises like animals.. that is usually associated with demonic activity (but a I am no expert), as for people falling over.. I can’t comment although it does appear they usually cry and pray in repentance as God convicts them of sin – again I am no expert, I have never been ‘slain’ in the spirit (as they say) (my hypothesis only). As far as I know the scriptures, when the Holy Spirit descended with power, no one fell over, (correct me if I’m wrong) although I imagine being in God’s presence would easily bring a person to their knees, even as though dead.

    As for Angels, I have never heard Todd saying to worship them (as is forbidden in the Bible), however denying seeing them would be fallacy, perhaps Todd should keep his mouth shut and stop throwing pearls before the swine.

  8. I saw a truly sickening episode of the “Todd Bentley show”,where a little boy with spina bifida was exploited in a similar manner.The little boy was pathetically dragging himself around the stage on tiny,twisted legs(he had already been able to do this,as he had a walking cane with him)Bentley allowed the child to believe that he had been healed,when it was painfully obvious to everyone that he had not.Still,deluded people cheered,they see what they want to see,I suppose.I felt bad for the child,when he goes home and realizes that he is just as disabled…..what will it do to his faith in God?I had similar experiences when I took my disabled daughter to a faith healer in Akron.After all the emotional build-up,no healing would occur.On the way home,my daughter would be hurt,confused and feeling forgotten by God.When she became older,she refused to participate in these “miracle services”anymore.I dont blame her.Maybe some people did get healed,I dont know.I personally saw no visible proof. I really related to the story above,of the lady who was told she was being healed of allergies. A member of my family told an exaggerated story around,saying I had been healed of a twisted,crippled leg.The problem is,it wasnt true.I am slightly pigeon-toed,and have been all my lifeThis relative prayed for me,after I fell and sprained my knee.I eventually recovered,but then found out that it was being proclaimed a “miracle”,and being said that my leg had been twisted into an abnormal position and I could not turn it outward.The miracle was supposed to be that my leg had been loosed and straightened ,after she prayed.The problem was,none of it was true.I was only slightly pigeon-toed before,and the same way after. The point to this story,is that people want so much to be a part of a miracle,that they will(not intentionally) exaggerate and play “fast and loose”with the facts.I finally told her to stop telling this story,I was not some “crippled girl” who recieved a miracle.I wish my legs had improved,but they didnt,but it really is no big deal to begin with. As for Todd Bentley,please Christians,research this man.He is dangerous.Read up on William Branham,whose “angels” todd claims to have working for him.This is scary stuff.Please research him,dont follow blindly.I was led into a cult that way,many years ago.God Bless

  10. Dear Chas351, I guess by now you know that Todd Bentley has been totally discredited as a liar and heretic by his admissions as an adulterer that has destroyed his own family, while proclaiming his miracles and holiness.
