  1. Wolves in sheep’s clothing are not to be befriended but exposed just like the news media are doing

    Very Interesting that both the Lakeland Ledger and Tampa Tribune wrote about Todd Bentley Today

    Ex-Florida Outpouring Leader Todd Bentley Controversy Continues

    Evangelist Who Drew Crowds In Lakeland To Get Counseling

    Considering Todd Bentley is a Canadian, here is a very interesting item Bentley has not been to their home in British Columbia because of visa problems:

    The board’s letter said Bentley had not seen his wife and three children since July, but Strader said Bentley has maintained contact with them. Bentley has not been to their home in British Columbia because of visa problems, but he has talked to his family by phone and e-mail, Strader said.

    Considering Todd Bentley is a Canadian, it’s a very interesting item Bentley has not been to their home in British Columbia because of visa problems. Cary McMullen has opened up a can of worms that should be investigated and reported more!

    1. Is Todd Bentley an illegal alien having visa problems?

    2. Is he afraid to return to Canada because the B.C. Government has some serious questions it want to ask him about “welfare fraud” and other fraud?

    3. Where is Todd getting the money to stay in United States since he resigned from Fresh Fire Ministries?

    4. How come there has been no accountability for all the money Todd Bentley has collected during the Lakeland Revival?

    5. Did Todd send the money to Canada or did he keep it for himself

    You can ask Stephen Strader these questions at 863-594-1750

    You can ask Fresh Fire Ministries these questions 604-853-5077

    You can ask Pastor John Arnott of Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship who is on the board of Fresh Fire Ministries and a very good friend and supporter of Todd Bentley at 416-674-8463

    You can ask Rodney Howard Browne http://www.revival.com/ who started the original Lakeland Revival in 1993 what does he think about the Todd Bentley Affair and Adultery

  2. Also, YouTube watchers may have spotted that internationally famous evangelist Benny Hinn — whose critics (and reporters from CBC’s The Fifth Estate for one) suggest may have his own issues with infamy or aberrant theology–has criticized Todd Bentley’s Lakeland Florida revival as theologically unsound. This was in late October, well after Mr. Bentley had gone into seclusion, making it almost impossible for him to respond to what Mr. Hinn has to say.

    The Hinn citique, which was broadcast internationally on Hinn’s television program, has begun to appear on YouTube in sections over the past few days. A partial transcipt of Mr. Hinn’s observations and remarks about Mr. Bentley has been made by Hinn critic Bud Press.

    UPDATE: I note that blogger Miriam Franklin, who has provided a thorough critique of Mr. Bentley’s theology and activities for many months now (and who also, I suspect, is not on Mr. Bentley’s Christmas card list!) has issued a sentence-by-sentence dissection of the Fresh Fire board’s statement for those who may be interested in it. Her opinions are hers, but her observations may be useful for those wanting to “read between the lines” here.

    SECOND UPDATE : The St. Petersburg Times is reporting on the ministry’s letter in their newspaper today. The Tampa Tribune has a similar story. The newspapers were unable to track down Mr. Bentley, so no quotes from him.

  3. Reminds me of the words of G K Chesterton:
    “If there were no God, there would be no atheists”.

    Comment by Brian Johnson | December 3, 2008

  4. No objection to that one cartoon you selected,
    but the link leads us to a real bad taste site
    full of irreverent blasphemous joke stuff.
    I’ll not touch it even for giving examples.

    Do not lead the sheep to such impure corrupt springs.

    Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth,
    And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed :

    as becometh saints: Neither filthiness, nor foolish talking,
    nor jesting, which are not convenient:
    but rather giving of thanks.
    Eph ch.4 & 5

  5. Brad

    Do you not rather think it is more a case of he goes to Canada he will not be able to get back into the USA – ever? And the USA is the main cash cow in Todd’s mind.

  6. Sooner or later Todd has to return to Canada to face the music because he is now an illegal alien. He is in United States illegally! He is breaking the law and those who are supporting him are breaking the law including the leaders of the Revival Alliance! Yes they are lawless ones!

    Comment by brad | December 5, 2008

  7. “If there were no God, there would be no atheists”.

    But isn’t the corollary true:

    “If there were no God, there would still be theists”

    Judging from the 10,000+ pretend Gods people have worshiped throughout history, this would seem to be true.

    So we would still need to have a name for people who didn’t believe in any of them, especially if the believers outnumbered them.

  8. When this link was found, my first hope was to seek help from someone concerning personal situation. I attended Anchorage Community Church, and was also in Mary Glazier’s Intercessory prayer meetings. This was a season of growth in the Lord for learning Holy Spirit Intercession and the inward walk with God. It has been a very long, difficult journey. Before departing Anchorage, some of the socalled prophetic ones prayed over me, and none of it has come to pass. Also, one prophetic minister in Oklahoma said I was shipwrecked,, while another one propesied a wide spread ministry in the makeing. Anyway, My son was recently killed in Afghanistan, and I feel so depressed, and confused about my walk with God. Bro. David Wilkerson seems to hold a key over some of this personl prophecy, and it seems to never end. Two days before my son was killed in Afghanistan, my sister and I had a trip planned to visit Times Square Church in Manhattan, ny My sister felt like we were suppose to make this trip in obedience to God. So we agreed to go. We were suppose to leave on that Friday morning, but on Thurs. morning two military guys came to our apt. door to tell us that Brandon had been KIA the day before. It was so devastating, and traumatic…because my faith was in God’s protection over him.. The NY trip was cancelled until after Brandon’s funeral,,,then we went over there for three days. Attended the church and then left on Monday to return to Dallas. Before leaving there it seemed the Lord prompted a fax to be sent to their offfice….so obedience followed as i sincerely believed this is what God urged. These spiritual writings just seem to pile up and go nowhere. What is God’s purpose, plan ? Prayer is that God would shed some light on this, and somehow, help would be given. Sincerely, Sherry L. Farley

  9. Also, Since being filled with the Holy Spirit, and having my inner eyes opened to the spiritual realm…there seems to always be signs demonstrated to try and buffet, manipulate or taunt all the time. Everytime my sister and i do anything…like go to the grocery store, take Noah, my grandson for a walk …someone will appear out of nowhere walking their dog on a leash. Years ago, when attending Community Christian Fellowship in Lindale, tx The worhip leader was Paul Baloche and he used to say “now you have got to learn obedience just like putting a dog on a leash…When we visited Bro. Wilkerson’s church he has a bathroom marked Reserved for elderly and handicapped…these signs are constantly put in front of my face. Years ago, i was so foolish to even “think ” that i was suppose to be David Wilkerson’s spiritual wife. He also said his wife has a ministry to the elderly…but hopefully he was referring to Gwen. This is alot of junk that needs to stop…including signs. Prophtic signs that are true and good, should bring peace to the spirit, and not turmoil, confusion and fear. Time, and time, again i try to put it all behind . For 20 years there have been trips to ny but WHY WHY WHY? Before Brandon was taken, A few days before he was shot, one of the pictures fell down off of my wall, and then was at a gas station getting gas and i fell real hard on the pavement cutting my hand and knee. it was just like an invisable force threw me down, but i got back up and finished pumping the gas and paid for it. the night before Brandon was KIA i was up all night, and couldnt sleep. I can remember another time years ago when we lived in Cleburne….how i was thrown into heavy intercession, fasting because on a return trip from ny my kids were taken from me and hid out in oklahoma. Wade was mad because he gave me permission to go to ny and when i returned that week end…he had stolen the children. we were divorced in l990. it is quite obvious that help is needed in this rambling, up side down discourse. help, help, help.

  10. not to mention that my sister, sabrena has had voices for years and they were driving her insane to the point of calling every pastor under the sun at all hours of the day and night. At this time i would attend church and she would vandalize things so i was quite mistreated, also. The pastor at ccf in lindale called the cops on her. I actually slept in the back of her truck parked under a treee in the church parking lot, one night. She was so driven, and then it seemed so controlled, She would spend her last dime, then our Dad would give her more, and she would be off and running, again. Since then Dad and om both died, they went down on the same night, and were carried out in the same ambulence. Right now, my sister and i just want to somehow get a little house out in the country and grow old graciously with my children and grandchildren. No more church games, prophetic schools, or control monitoring. it is over. no more flapping the arms like an airplane, and singing so loud that one thinks”she is so boisterous and obnoxious…when it was all under spiritual authority, How can GOD allow THIS TYPE OF STUFF, ANYWAY. mY SISTER SAID the voices told her that i had david wilkersons mantle on me. How perverted is this going to get. he wants to be a spiritual spook and be so spirtual by invAding others so it is invisible and one looks or sounds like a luny tune. I really hoped that mary glazier could petition God on my behalf in the midst of all the big important other things going on. After all a life is a soul which counts in the eyes of God. sincerely, sherry

  11. Also, attended Grace Vinyard church which was apparently started by John WIMBER, and when in the early service the pastor opened it up for anyone hearing from God….so my heart starts pounding out of my chest,so obediently stood up and began saying the message of God and the pastor interrupted and said not to speak because they did not know who i was. so I thanked him for releasing me from the church service and left.

    I am so very sorry to hear of the loss of your son. May God grant you the peace that passes all understanding to comfort you at this time – and bring real peace – shalom – to your life in general. May God also build you up in Him as you lean solely on Him, and as He holds you up you learn to walk again over – with a new strength, outlook and focus.

  13. Thank-you. The Lord Knows His higher purpose and whole eternal plan when i can only see a bird’s eye view. Ultimately, there is no other way to go, than to wait upon His still small voice for guidance and obedience. God is able to turn bitterness into sweet….as He heals and mends…but I sincerely believe that He breaks the heart with no intention of it ever being the same. The heart is His aim, every time. The heart is the seat of the affections, and source of action, and it is known to God. When He regenerates the heart, the change is lasting unto eternal life. Romans 9:14-23 Miriam, may the Lord bless thee and keep thee! sisters in Christ

  14. 11 Sam. 11:3 And David sent and enquired after the woman. And one said, Is not this Bathsheba, the daughter of Eliam, the wife of Uriah thye Hittite? vs. 15 And he wrote in the letter, saying, Set ye Uriah in the forefront of the hottest battle, and retire ye from him, that he may be smitten, and die. And it came to pass, when Joab observed the city, that he assigned Uriah unto a place where he knew that valiant men were. vs. 18 Then Joab sent and told David all the things concerning the war; 11 Sam. 12:12 For thou didst it secretly; but I will do this thing before all Israel, and before the sun. King David did secret sin. This is how it did begin. Covert, secret; cover it up. But God did foresee this sorrowful cup. One is not great because they don’t fall…..one is great because they repent of it all. King David built an empire. Secret sin puts ye in the pig’s mire. Cover it up, and try to hide out; But Almighty God can turn it all about. Joseph, Joseph, what a dreamer; Jacob, Jacob, such a schemer! Genesis 50:20 But as for you, ye thought evil against me; but God meant it unto good, to bring to pass, as it is this day to save much people alive.

  15. Stand Down, Soldier. A mothers cry was heard this day; her son came home in a coffin, that way. Her heart did weep and worry for her son, Brandon, a soldier, who carried a gun. You were deployed to Afghanistan on this day, dedicated service to help lead the way. The convoy was commanded to a village, to search the enemy out; “it’s clear, it’s clear,” was the staff SGT’S shout. Returning to base was the ultimate intention……yet the taliban insurgent’s brought down dishonorable dissension. They were hidden in the mountains from your sight; other army convoys following in a holy war fight. An enemy RPG was aimed at you; it happened so quickly, before anyone knew. The enemy opened fire upon this army convoy team. Each one and the other, held in high esteem. Brother joined with brother, in combat; This is where each one sat. Your men saw the attack, and began firing back…….hoping to stop the insurgent’s act. But it was too late for you, Brandon, this day; Your men performed CPR all the way. Dyinhg for a people needing Democracy, per say. Brandon, a soldier, stand down, this day. “Stand down soldier, your mission is through.” Jesus has another plan for you. He speeded angels to the bloody war sight; receiving your Spirit into His marvelous light. You went to heaven at 30 years old. Jesus had made this soldier bold. Stand down, Brandon, stand down and be at rest; You protected your men and did your best. You are now in heaven with all the others true. The war now over for a brave soldier like you. We don’t understand why it had to be this way; Your mothers cry is heard each day. Her heart is broken into pieces over you; A chunk of her died when you died, too. Brandon, a soldier, hero,brother and son; Died for Democracy, a battle well done. Stand down, Brandon, stand down, at best; your Spirit went to heaven, you now lay at rest. Jesus sees this holy waged war; a prophecy being fulfilled at heaven’s opened door. Sacrifices for a people in need of Democracy; a people filled with lying, deceit and hypocrisy. Brandon, you died to prevent terriorist attacks……all the while you watched your troops backs. Brandon, you were a sacrifice and casualty of war….but Jesus said to this hero, “no more.” So up to heaven your Spirit did soar; into heavens’realm where there is no war. A feast was prepared for you in a heavenly way; all the saints gathered round, welcoming you home, this day. In the twinkling of an eye, you were translated upabove; Jesus handing you a cup overflowing with His love. No more pain for you Brandon, no more suffering and tears. Jesus has now washed away all your doubts and fears. May you now rest in God’s eternal peace, my nephew, her son. In loving memory of Brandon; dedicated to Sherry, from her sister, Sabrena.

  16. The Lord is my Shepherd. Sheep and their close relationship with Jesus Christ as the Chief and Head Shepherd….who laid His life down for each and every sheep. My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me (John 10:27) The Bible describes close relationships between shepherds and their flocks. The Sheep recognize the voice of the shepherd. They follow him (or her). The shepherd protects his flock and would give his life for them. It is known that animals can instantly recognize the voice of a familiar trusted person. Sheep have excellent memories for faces. They remember their handler. They also remember people who inflict abuse upon them.
