Bob Jones says to Todd Bentley: I think the ANGELS YOU ARE SEEING ARE UNCREATED as
in Zechariah; So I think you should have visitations, and the purpose of senior
prophets is to get you to understand what you are hearing;
(My Notes:
this is totally HERETICAL;
this teaching is absolutely OPPOSED to Scripture, which teaches that ALL angels ARE created beings)

___________________________________
TODD: so we’ve had revival, now this is maturity, Glory. A PORTAL OPEN THAT WILL NEVER BE CLOSED
Bob Jones: right;
this will never quit; the church is changing, Winds of Change.
As I watch you, you VIBRATE.
You
know there are 2 PORTALS, clock wise
and counter clock wise ….
When you VIBRATE clock-wise, you close
demonic vibration ….
Counter clock wise vibration is demonic. The VIBRATION IS HEALING. Does it seems peculiar? (He waves his
hands over / to the crowd) ….. I’m releasing it to you
TODD: let’s pray right now….last tv moment. Pray for MULTIPLICATION for this. Touch your computer screen. There is a glory here and a prophetic word. In the wind is the VIBRATION, the Winds of Change. And in the WIND IS THE HEALING OF GOD. Just ASK GOD FOR THE VIBRATION NOW. And bob Jones will IMPART the VIBRATION right now. (Todd's head shaking all around) …. How many want this change? Bob Jones is seer, prophet. You have to hear with your spirit. There is a PORTAL here that will never close. Thank you lord. We release it tonight in name of Jesus.
(My Notes:
PORTALS are not found anywhere in the Bible
-- note: God does not limit Himself to one specific geographical
location, where carnal believers or unsaved would set up altars and worship
that location versus worshipping God Himself…even as the Apostles wanted to set
up altars on the Mt. of Transfiguration and God would not allow such.
There is NEVER once mentioned in the New Testament any reference to having
to be at a Portal or desiring a Portal to be opened to allow access into Heaven
… For the Kingdom
of God IS WITHIN US
!!!!
And
this “Vibration” teaching is Blatant OCCULT terminology: Wicca witches vibrate; Here are some quotes
from Wiccan Websites:
According to the book
"Spellworks for Covens," energy from the witch's body also has a vibration -- both a physical
rate of vibration and a spiritual
rate of vibration. During power-raising
rituals, witches believe that the molecules from both their physical and
spiritual sides meld together to increase their overall energy and create a pathway for energy to flow through them. In order not to deplete
their own personal energy stores, they can also pull energy from the Earth and
sky.

The below information was written on Revival School by Emanuel:
“On may 13th Todd sat down with Bob Jones on the podium and they had a dialogue session.
|
Quote: |
|
Todd asks Bob, “Can you tell us how the Wind of Change
works?” |
Todd believes that the source of
this revival is an angel named "Wind of Change". Now we learn how
this angel works and operates. Through vibration! And not just any vibration,
but clockwise vibration! The vibration IS healing!
Where can learn about this vibration healing, portals that operate in
opposite direction? Not in the Bible, but it is very common in New Age
material.
For example, regarding pendulum healing therapy as taught here
http://www.pendulumhealing.com/pendulums.htm
|
Quote from “Pendulum Healing”: |
|
As you pick up the pendulum, the most common response is a circling movement, either clockwise or counter-clockwise as shown above on the right. It is important to remember that the kind of movement you receive depends on the vibration you are on. A clockwise movement shows a positive energy and a counter-clockwise movement shows a negative energy. |
Apparently the idea of
counter-clockwise portals is not a "new" idea. You can read at the
FreshFire.ca site.
http://www.freshfire.ca/index.php?Act=read&status=prophetic&Id=38&pid=954
|
Todd teaches: |
|
A demonic portal arose in 1967. My prophet friend Bob Jones
describes it as a counter-clockwise portal and he says that a “death bird”
came out of heaven that day. |

THE TRAGIC SCANDAL of GREASY GRACE
-by J. Lee Grady.
This week's announcement about evangelist Todd Bentley's hasty
remarriage and restoration is sending a confusing message to the church.
I groaned when I learned early this week that Canadian preacher
Todd Bentley, leader of the controversial Lakeland Revival, had
decided to divorce his wife, Shonnah, and marry his former
ministry intern, Jessa Hasbrook. The news surfaced after almost
nine months of silence and speculation, during which time the
board of Bentley's Fresh Fire Ministries in British Columbia
publicly scolded him for committing adultery.
In a statement released March 10 by Rick Joyner, the popular
author and minister who is overseeing Bentley's restoration
process, we were told that (1) Bentley married his new wife several
weeks ago and moved to Joyner's base in Fort Mill, S.C.; (2) Todd
and Jessa agree that their relationship was "wrong and premature"
and that it "should not have happened the way it did"; (3) Bentley
will remain out of public ministry while he seeks healing; and (4)
Joyner will oversee the healing process with input from Dallas
pastor Jack Deere and California pastor Bill Johnson.
"Many of us have rejected biblical discipline and adopted a sweet,
spineless love that cannot correct."
It was also announced that Bentley plans to relaunch his ministry,
called Fresh Fire USA, in Fort Mill, and that Joyner is now
collecting donations from supporters to help rebuild it. (The
Canadian ministry Bentley started has now been renamed
Transform International, and it has severed ties with the evangelist.)
In a few places in his statement Joyner expressed tough love,
especially when he said: "We know that trust has to be earned
and that Todd will have to earn the trust of the body of Christ for
future ministry, which will not be easy, nor should it be." He also
made it clear that true repentance and restoration "can only come
if we refuse to compromise the clear biblical standards for morality
and integrity."
But there were some glaring omissions in the statements released
this week that indicate a fundamental weakness in our freestyle
approach to "restoring" fallen leaders.
First of all, it is outrageous that Shonnah Bentley, Todd's first wife,
does not seem to be an issue in the current discussion. Her name
is never mentioned in Joyner's statement-while Todd is mentioned
18 times. We are never told how Shonnah is handling the divorce.
How will she manage to care for the three children she and Todd
share? She and the kids seem invisible in this process. Yet if
anyone needs healing and restoration, is it not the other half of
this broken family?
Second, we charismatics still seem to have a habit of elevating
gifting above character. It's almost as if the end justifies the means.
(So what if a preacher ruins one marriage and makes a hasty
decision to marry a younger woman - the important thing is that
we get him back in the pulpit to heal the sick!) That is a perversion
of biblical integrity. God can anoint any man or woman with the
Holy Spirit's power; what He is looking for are vessels of honor that
can carry that anointing with dignity, humility and purity.
What is most deplorable about this latest installment in the
Bentley scandal is the lack of true remorse. In his own statement,
Bentley apologizes for his actions and says he "takes full
responsibility for my part for the ending of the marriage." But how
can he be taking "full responsibility" if he willingly chose to have a
girlfriend on the side-and then married her immediately after his
divorce was final? Why did he hide for several months when he
should have been listening to counsel and seeking reconciliation
with his first wife?
Many Christians today have rejected biblical discipline and
adopted a sweet, spineless love that cannot correct. Our grace is
greasy. No matter what an offending brother does, we stroke him
and pet him and nurse his wounds while we ignore the people he
wounded. No matter how heinous his sin, we offer comforting
platitudes because, after all, who are we to judge?
When the apostle Paul learned that a member of the Corinthian
church was in an immoral relationship with his father's wife, he did
not rush to comfort the man. He told the Corinthians: "You have
become arrogant and have not mourned instead, so that the one
who had done this deed would be removed from your midst" (I Cor.
5:2). Sometimes we must draw a ruthless sword in order to bring
genuine healing. The "wounds of a friend" are faithful to bring
conviction and true repentance (see Prov. 27:6).
Paul actually delivered the unrepentant Corinthian man to Satan
"for the destruction of his flesh" (5:5) so that he could be saved.
That does not sound very nice. Many today would call Paul's tactic
harsh and legalistic. But that is because we have lost any true
sense of the fear of the Lord - and we don't realize that our laxness
about God's standards is a perversion of His mercy. When the sin
is severe, the public rebuke must be severe.
In all the discussion of Bentley and the demise of the Lakeland
Revival, I am waiting to hear the sound of sackcloth ripping into
shreds. We should be weeping. We should be rending our hearts -
as God commanded Israel when they fell into sin (see Joel 2:
13-14). To give guidance to a confused church, our leaders should
have publicly decried the Lakeland disaster while at the same time
helping both Todd and Shonnah to heal.
We have not mourned this travesty. We have not been shocked
and appalled that such sin has been named among us. We act as
if flippant divorce and remarriage are minor infractions - when in
actuality they are such serious moral failures that they can bring
disqualification.
If we truly love Todd Bentley, we will not clamor for his quick return
to the pulpit. While we certainly want him to be fully restored to
fellowship with God, we cannot rush the process of restoring a
man to ministry. Leaders must live up to a higher standard. We
must demand that those involved in Bentley's restoration not only
love him but also love the church by protecting us from the kind of
scandal we endured last year.

Ryan Wyatt teaches the following:
RYAN WYATT: Tonight is a different
night, it is a womb and birthing and will birth the world. I called bob
jones today on phone, and said, ‘there’s a birthing womb tonight’, bob said, ‘Right, it’s a seed form of restoration of
all things in the earth’, and reminded me of visitations I had
before, … whole regions
will be birthed. ……
……. Several yrs ago, I was meditating about how Jesus is held in the heavens until all things restored on
earth. Jesus will first come to us and thru us and put the church in place on the
world stage ……..
….. (There is to be a ) Restoration of all things;
I was meditating when Christ walked in my hotel room, and temperature in
room changed and lord physically walked in dripping in oil, and said, “this is
the hour I’m pouring out the oil of overcomers ……
……. During Pensacola I was visited 2 ½ months with the glory cloud…they
carried me out of restaurants (for) 2 ½ mos, our ministry has been living in glory since; when
glory started to lift, Jesus said, when I come
next time in my glory presence it will never leave
again and open creative realm of heaven to equip the body on earth. …….
…….
My team in my room, 15 people in room, I said when the glory is coming again, 2
days into this revival, and I asked the lord, and the physical glory cloud rolled in my
room. A physical rain drop dripped on my head. A breeze began to blow, a
hazy mist rolled and it physically and tangibly began to rain on everyone in
room. Lord said, this is sign that my glory has come …. Lord
said ‘This is the beginning of end time
wine, apostolic wine skins to begin through out the world’.
…..
(My Notes:
This is Manifest Sons of God Doctrine / the New Breed / Joel's Army teachings;
They teach that:
The Church will be triumphant on the
earth, bringing all the earth into submission to itself …this contradicts 2
Thess 2: 3-12 or 2 Tim 3:5-12;
They teach that Christ will NOT RAPTURE the Church, but will show up THROUGH
the Church … this contradicts 1 Thess 4:16-17;
The Church must put all the world in order … ‘the restoration of all things’
and THEN Christ can return to the earth …
this contradicts 2 Tim 3:13, or how about Revelation 19:11-21;
Some teach / believe that the Church
will be so triumphant that they will even overcome death / they won’t die …
check out Revelation 6:9-11;

May 13, 2008 Lakeland Quotes
(All quotes are from Todd Bentley on the Lakeland Stage, unless otherwise noted)
___________________________
-- Lord told me this anointing was very CONTAGIOUS and we are to give it away to the world; leaders are to take this back to their nations and the anointing would be very transferable;
(My Notes:
This is not Biblical;
Nowhere in Scripture is the anointing contagious….yet this is very appealing to lazy flesh, which lust for supernatural power without having to live a holy life, or seek God for any length of time, or read the Bible and Study to show ones self approved (2 Tim 2:15);
How much easier to simply go “get” an anointing and watch power move through your life)
Also stated on the Stage:
-- BOBBY CONNORS: YOU CAN CATCH THE ANOINTING
--Trevor Baker from England: This really is TRANSFERABLE
-- Todd Bentley: this is TRANSFERABLE; Catch the anointing IN THE AIR; it will fall on you
(My Notes:
None of these statements are Biblical.
Aren't Christians supposed to live according to Scripture, and aren't we to hold fast to Doctrine taught only by Christ and the Apostles?
Doesn't anyone think we should care that statements are thrown around which are not found anywhere in Scripture?
The Holy Spirit gives gifts as HE wills, {1 Corinthians} and anointings are NOT caught anywhere in Bible, not transferable, and not floating around in the air to be ‘caught'.
It truly is INCREDIBLE to me, that Christians will sit and listen to such rubbish, without questioning any of it.)

Latest on Todd Bentley's Restoration at Rick Joyner's MoringStar Ministries
December 2008
__________________________
Todd Bentley Enters Restoration Process
by Paul Steven Ghiringhelli
{This Story Found at: http://charismamag.com/articles/index.php/18192 }
|
|
Todd Bentley, who led the Lakeland Outpouring for four months before disappearing amid scandal in August, was planning to move to the campus of MorningStar Ministries in Fort Mill, S.C., in late October in search of healing and restoration.
MorningStar founder Rick Joyner told Charisma that he will be leading Bentley's restoration process and was hopeful that the 32-year-old evangelist will one day return to ministry "stronger in the Lord than ever" if he faces his problems squarely. "Todd does have some serious issues he must deal with, and he knows it more than anyone," Joyner said.
After leading revival meetings in Lakeland, Fla., for nearly four months, Bentley suddenly stepped down from public ministry in August after informing staff members that he and his wife were separating. His Fresh Fire Ministries (FFM) board in British Columbia, Canada, later announced that Bentley had confessed to an inappropriate relationship with a female staff member. A senior board member also told Charisma that Bentley's alcohol consumption had "crossed the line."
Joyner's recent involvement in Bentley's restoration stems from his appearance last June on the platform in Lakeland, where Bentley publicly submitted himself to the oversight of apostolic leaders Bill Johnson, John Arnott and Chˇ Ahn-all members of a group called the Revival Alliance. Joyner said Johnson, representing the Revival Alliance, and Texas pastor Jack Deere have agreed to assist him in Bentley's restoration.
Ahn told Charisma the Revival Alliance has given "full authority" to Joyner, Johnson and Deere, while he and Arnott will serve in an advisory role.
Ahn added that the arrangement with Bentley was not unlike the disciplinary process Joyner and Deere offered prophetic minister Paul Cain in 2005, after he publicly confessed to moral failures. International House of Prayer founder Mike Bickle was also a part of that restoration team, which Cain ultimately abandoned in 2006 when he decided to seek counsel elsewhere.
In the current case, Joyner said Bentley does not believe his marriage to Shonnah is salvageable. "[Bentley] has also taken steps to make the relationship with the girl that was inappropriate, appropriate," Joyner said.
He explained that both Bentley and the unidentified woman have expressed "deep remorse" over the situation, knowing they were "two wounded people who fell into a trap." Joyner said Bentley acknowledged that even if his marriage were to fail, his timing for beginning a new relationship was "terrible."
Joyner said that though it is tempting to judge, observers must remember that all parties involved are struggling to do what's right. "A divorce is one of the most traumatic things you can go through," Joyner said. "For a while, Todd had spun down into some pretty deep hopelessness."
Ahn echoed Joyner's sentiments. "Our goal is to restore Todd to his relationship with Jesus," he said. "His restoration as an evangelist is secondary. We are deeply concerned for his wife, Shonnah, and their children and trust that [Joyner, Johnson and Deere] and the Fresh Fire Ministries board will make sure that she is ministered to in the whole sense of the word."
Johnson, senior pastor of Bethel Church in Redding, Calif., told Charisma that many people were saddened by Bentley's failings, "but people have also come to grips with the fact that [the outpouring] was never about Todd, it was really about God."
He said the impact of the Lakeland Outpouring, which held its final meeting Oct. 12 amid dwindling crowds, has been both significant and global. "There are fires of revival all over Europe that are the direct result of what God was doing in Lakeland," he said.
Yet Johnson made it clear that he and the rest of Bentley's restoration team are not primarily concerned with seeing Bentley quickly return to ministry. "The focus is not [on] Todd the evangelist; it is on Todd the person," Johnson said. "We want him healed up, not because of what he can do, but because God loves him and treasures him as a son."

Bob Jones stated: And an angel appeared to me, told me to get
paul keith (here tomorrow) and ken maddock, bobby connors ... the HEALING ANGEL, called "WINDS OF CHANGE "
appeared to me
(My Note:
There is no HEALING angels found in the Bible)
Bob Jones: And there are THREE powerful angels are here; Emma, means healing, and another called Grace,
and "Winds of Change"
(My Notes:
There are no female angels mentioned in the Bible)
Bob Jones continues: so I RELEASED
MY ANGELS TO HIM .......this
man from Canada (Todd Bentley) ASKED FOR MY
ANGELS; this “Winds of
Change” is the most powerful …. Except for the arch angels, this 'Winds of Change',
this is the most powerful angel. .... To blow away stupor, fog; get glory of
god on you. So the faith of god will work thru you. It’s
not that hard to understand;
(My Notes:
This is unbiblical and scary !
No where in Scripture are we told to ASK
FOR an angel or angels;
And no where in Scripture are we shown that other people can REALEASE angels to
other people !!!!! Totally UNBIBLICAL)

TODD speaking: …. and
I PRAYED
FOR ANGEL OF THE LORD TO SPEAK TO YOU, Bob; and Bob said, I’d like to come around June 22
thru July 22 cause that is when glory will show up in its fullness;
(My Notes:
How about THE LORD speaking to His children, instead of an Angel;
Nowhere in the New Testament does an Apostle or Christ Himself, ask for an
ANGEL to speak to anyone)
Todd:
On April 3rd, I had angelic
encounter and I saw this is the one thing, people hate … when I talk about the
Angel …. People say ‘don’t talk about the angel’ but I’m telling you, right
now, to deny prophetic destiny and what you’ve rec’d from Lord is to turn from
Lord; I could not stand before the Lord, and say I saw the angel of lord, if I
did not see it; God would strike me down; but I saw the angel of the Lord
a HEALING ANGEL; April 3rd, I knew what it meant; the angel said, as confirmation, call bob (Jones) on phone right now, but bob doesn’t
answer his phone, but bob answered, and bob said "The ANGEL "WINDS OF CHANGE" visited you this morning,", and I
(Todd Bentley) said yes;
(My
Notes:
This reminds me of Colossians 2:18-19 -- 18 Do not
let anyone who delights in false humility and the worship of angels disqualify
you for the prize. Such a person goes into great detail about what he has seen,
and his unspiritual mind puffs him up with idle notions. 19 He has lost
connection with the Head,
for Todd and these teachers LOVE to talk about their ANGELIC experiences.
#1 – there is NO HEALING ANGEL mentioned in the bible;
#2 – ‘Winds Of Change” angel is given credit as starting this revival, yet, NO ANGEL in the bible ever brought
revival because the preaching of the gospel is up to MEN to do … the Book
of Acts shows revival beginning through the preaching of men, and healings
worked through the hands of men)

On December 4, 2008 I received the below ARTICLE in my email written by Lee Grady at CBN.com
Todd Bentley's FRESH FIRE MINISTRY has released a report, according to the CBN article, telling everyone that
Todd had been drinking inappropirately during the Lakeland Revival Meetings,
as well as having an inappropriate relation with his nanny.
MY PERSONAL NOTE:
This is sad news.
Why was there not one Leader found, to have the guts to say, "This is wrong" and invite repentance for Bentley
and bring protection for the sheep?
This is where the Church Body fails miserably today, I believe.
We are too afraid to be called "judgmental" and so we let liars, thieves, adulterers, drunkards, etc. continue
to minister to the Body.
This is to our shame.
Paul teaches that we ARE to "judge those inside (the church)" and that we are to
"expel the wicked man from among (us)" 1 Cor 5:12-13.
None of us are PERFECT; but if one, especially a LEADER, has an ONGOING
addiction or habit of sin, then such should not be allowed to teach, preach, lay hands on, or
have direct influence in the Church Body. Paul states we should even "expel" the person,
in the hopes that they will be "ashamed" and brought to repentance (2 Thess 3:14).
May God have mercy and cleanse us and mature us,
so that we can walk in His ways, as it is written.
In Jesus' name. Amen.
___________________________________
Now, an excerpt from the Lee Grady Article is found below:
"... Late last week the board of directors of Fresh Fire Ministries—which
Bentley resigned from in August—released a lengthy statement to update
its supporters on Bentley’s condition. The letter confirmed that (1)
Bentley is “resolute in his intentions” to divorce his wife,
Shonnah—and that “he admits to being 100% responsible for the divorce”;
(2) his relationship with his former intern is ongoing; (3) the
evangelist drank inappropriately during the revival; and (4) he has yet
to enter into a clear system of accountability with Christian leaders
who have offered to help him.
The six-page
statement, which defended the impact of the Lakeland Revival, did not
excuse Bentley’s behavior. “We believe there are currently no biblical
grounds for Todd to leave his wife and children,” the board members
said. They added: “The nature of the present relationship between Todd
and his former staff member is that of adultery.”
The entire CBN article, detailing what the Body has hopefully learned from all of this, can be read through the following LINK:
