Is Todd Bentley feeling the heat in Lakeland?
USAToday Fast Rising Preacher's 'Healings' Draw Ire
Update: After this story aired on "Nightline," Fresh Fire Ministries released a statement announcing that preacher Todd Bentley would be taking time off "to refresh and to rest" after having spent four months in Lakeland, Fla, leading revival meetings. In the meantime, their Lakeland broadcasts on GOD TV are put on hold.
Having spent considerable time in southern Florida as a medical missionary, I know it can get rather hot there. But since word has been received and is spreading fast that Todd Bentley is leaving the Lakeland Revival, I cannot help but wonder if he, God-TV and all of these false prophets and false apostles involved in the Florida Outpouring are feeling the heat from all of the negative publicity they have been receiving from discerning Christians over the internet, and the media and need to cool down?
I mean, word travels very fast these days via the internet and the bareans are shouting louder than ever sounding the wolf alarm. And then there's Todd Bentley's calling down the 'Fire, Fire, Fire...' He's gotta be real hot by now.
Because Todd Bentley is taking time to cool off, we must not let our guard down. Like any enemy in battle, once they have retreated, refreshed and regrouped to strengthen themselves, and rethink new war strategies and tactics, they return to implement them. We must constantly be reminded that this battle is not over yet and remember here the words of the Apostle Peter in I Peter 5:8
Because of the bareans, praying and shouting wolf using the true Word of God throughout the airways, we have invaded the territory of the enemy, and these demonic forces operating through Todd Bentley have been restrained and forced to leave by the Lord Jesus Christ himself, and satan's scheme has been unexpectedly and abruptly haulted for now; how long only God knows. but one thing is for sure; we do know from the Apostle Paul's words written in Ephesians 6:12-18 that we must not let our guard down.
Thank-you for your exhortation. I agree that we must keep our guards up . Not only will Todd's victims need our help, but he is only one of many false teachers. The problem is much bigger than him. He is like one large stream momentarily dried up but the river is still raging. It will come back because many want to be deceived. We must keep lifting up the banner of truth for the few who will yet listen. God bless you!
