Independent Investigation of Florida Healing Revival Bentley

[antrionettiee]

Todd can you pray for my cousin

Tweet that is on herion

i beleive for an instatn healing

and can you pray for a miracle baby for me and my husband

[iammrlee]

Jeremiah 14:14

Beware of false prophets

[robertbrownell]

This is true. But Todd is not known as a prophet, he is a militant evangelist type preacher, who prays for healing for people.

[robertbrownell]

This reminds me of the people that accused King David. They were factual in their accusations, but their heart was in the wrong place, always accusing never interceding.

[allrza]

Todd healed THOUSANDS. How many have you healed??

" 6 But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.

7 And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand.

8 Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give."

Matthew 10: 6-8 ~ f i n ~

[dowejustexist]

allrza....

Todd healed? TODD healed?

I thought it's God who does the healing and the One who gets the glory, honor and praise.

Freely ye have received, freely give.

As Marsha Burns puts it, God's power is not something that we can harness for ourselves.

How can we claim to heal anyone ourselves? Shame on us for robbing glory from God.

[rmcgov00leeuedu]

God bless you sir. This is some really great investigative work. I love it how you put the email addresses in there so that nobody can say anything other than "Well, they're in on it too!"

Ha ha, YAY GOD!!!

[robertbrownell]

These signs shall follow those that believe. They shall lay their hands on sick people and they shall get well.

But so many people that post comments here, no signs follow. Just accusations and slander of things they don't know anything about.

That's why Jesus warned us about Judging, because so many times we do, we just don't have all the information needed to make Righteous Judgment.

[omarkarrow]

U will not follow me unless receive

signs miracles & wonders.

[robertbrownell]

This is not true. As for 90% of the Services that I attend do not manifest Miracles, Signs or Wonders.

But it is nice to see the Lord at Work.

Unfortunately for the Body of Christ, they are so used to NOT seeing anything miraculous but a good sermon, that the first sign of any manifestation of power, and they conclude it must be from the devil .

[robertbrownell]

Just so everyone is clear about this.

Waiting for Doctors to proclaim a medical miracle healing, is like waiting for the scientific community to proclaim God is the creator.

Secular people just don't do that. They always come up with another excuse.

[joolzanne7]

And not everyone is healed but we are all loved by a loving God and His Grace is sufficient for all of us.

[robertbrownell]

PhilosophicalNorms Said: These 'healers' prey on the weak and vulnerable, you know it. Bentley does not heal! Fact! I judge nobody - I state a fact!

-Robert: Everybody knows that God heals, not Todd.

But the prayer of faith can release His healing power. Todd has faith in God's healing power, and helps other's to believe that Healing is for today.

Your comments prey on people's faith. Stating that there is no healing today, because every healing is just someone preying on the weak.

[robertbrownell]

The problem is that you never even met him, so your trusting what other people have said about him. Or a 10 minute youtube clip that you've seen, which are usually taken out of context.

If you live a perfect life and have never violated the word of God, then you have every right to make this judgment.

But be careful when judging others (that you don't even know) you might be unknowingly condemning yourself.

[robertbrownell]

I want to approve some of your comments, but I don't want to have any swear words posted.

So I will restate what you said, removing them:

JesusFreakMusic Said:

one thing..

just a small scentence:

God doesn't only use Todd, He uses everyone that want to get more people to believe... And the thing is, many of these people there think only Todd can do this stuff, and they can't... like he's higher leveled to God...

[robertbrownell]

maybe it would be wise to get to know someone first hand before you call them a child of satan.

[robertbrownell]

It would be better to put your faith in Jesus Christ, no one has ever spoken wiser, or more profound. In His teachings your find wisdom from above, not wisdom from below.

[jesusfreakmusic]

and errr God doesn't heal always. God does listen to you, but doesn't always do what you want. Here Todd asks/says, and God appears to be doing... which is unlogical. Sometime things take time before God interrupts... We can't handle stuff, only God can. We can only pray for people, but in this way, i think its not right... just doesn't feel good for me... now when I'm getting back to God from a bad past..

[randy109]

Regardless of what people think about Bentley it kinda reminds me of the healed blind man being questioned by the Pharisees... "Who this man is, I know not. But I do know that once I was blind and now I can see!" Praise God!

[randy95023]

People receive their healings from God through their faith. If Todd Bentley helps people grow strong enough in their faith to receive their healings then it is wonderful. Give the glory to God and if Todd Bentley is the instrument God chooses to use... Who are we to judge? Praise God for the healings however they came about!

[robertbrownell]

I agree. Todd does have a great ability to impart faith, and that help people when they are praying for the sick.

Personally, I'm glad God used Todd. No one at the revival would ever think, "because Todd is so righteous, God is healing through Him." Therefor Todd couldn't claim any credit for Healing, but only give credit to Jesus.

I think that because of Todd's flaws, it will prevent people from putting faith in him, and therefor they will keep their faith focused on Jesus.

[wildcimmerian]

Any amputees get repaired? Or any resurrections? That would make me a believer.

[robertbrownell]

I did interview a person involved in one of the resurrections. Her testimony was sincere. A baby came back to life after being dead by drowning. Whereby significant brain damage would normally result from the elapsed time, yet the baby came back with no brain damage. Praise the Lord.

But many religious people heard about the miracles of Jesus, yet they didn't believe in Him.

[Mazie28]

God is faithful.

[TrustingJesusChrist]

Question: If the Florida Outpouring/Lakeland revival was producing miraculous healings, why didn't Todd Bentley go and lay hands on the sick and dying at the local hospitals?

[robertbrownell]

FYI: there were many people healed at the revival, that Todd never even knew about.

Why, because many in the crowd already worked in the healing ministry. And when we'd pass someone who was obviously sick, we'd just pray for them, no freshfire approval was necessary.

During the rest of the day, many of us did go to the hospitals, restaurants, homes & stores to pray for people. Because of this, there were many reports of healings that Bentley's team never even hear about.

[jewel7777]

Thank you so much for putting up this video. I want to see Todd restored. A righteous man falls seven times but he gets back up and this is a test for the body of Christ to learn to love and restore instead of throw people away. The revival was never about Todd Bentley it was to open the wells of revival and Todd was a tool that had to pay the price but he will be restored and people that went will be changed forever. Blessings to you.

[skydiver777]

**The Spirit of Christ is going to be with Todd and some of Us FOREVER!** John 14

Todd is going to have to do a Whole Lot more to be SEPERATED from the Love of Christ than for Teaching a few unusual Doctrines and Personal Experiences!

Romans 8:34-39 Who is he that Condemns? Who shall Separate Us from the Love of Christ?...

I am Persuaded NEITHER Death,nor Life,Angels,nor Principalities,nor Powers...,shall be able to separate Us from the Love of God,which is In Christ Jesus Our Lord!

[skydiver777]

Thank you!

1 Cor 3 If I have Prophetic Powers,and Understand ALL the Secret Truths and Mysteries and

Possess ALL Knowledge,and if I have Faith so that I can Remove Mountains,but Have NOT LOVE(God's love in me)I am NOTHING(a useless nobody)

Be Imitators of God, as dear children; And Walk in Love, As Christ also Has Loved Us Eph 5 ;-)

[fordorgnew]

There is NO documented, MEDICAL proof of any medical healing in Florida! CNBS asked Todd to provide them with ANY proof but he provided NONE!

[robertbrownell]

Yes there was medical proof. They just didn't accept it as undeniable.

But this news agency doesn't claim the Jesus is healing anybody in the world. So do you agree with their conclusion that Jesus can't heal?

[joolzanne7]

Also there is the whole issue of the fact that Todd would not be able to give medical proof without consent of the people healed.

The proof is in the testimonies on the video, and we don't need to justify or prove that Jesus Christ through Holy Spirit is real and powerful so He can engage spiritually in a loving relationship. The Holy Spirit can prove himself when it is the right time

[razieel]

Thanks for recording this. I believe in the healing testimonies I've seen up on the stage but I see the value of recording this independent investigation also since people have been desensitized to all they see on tv thinking it's actors giving the testimonies etc.

Thank you again.

[robertbrownell]

I don't believe that a miracle is conclusive proff of God, but remember that Jesus didn't allow the Pharisees to say that, because Jesus said (Now that they've seen the miracles, they have no excuse for their sin.)

[BearBarton53]

A miracle is not conclusive evidence that God is speaking thru Todd. Thank God for people getting healed - but faith can move mountains (Mark 11:28-30) without a Todd... People probably are releasing their faith but they could do it without the help of a false prophet...

[robertbrownell]

Todd not a false prophet, he's an evangelists.

But BearBarton, your opinion is refreshing to me, because you're the first critic of Todd that actually believes that having 9,000 people in a tent crying out to Jesus for healings, might actually produce healings.

Can you agree on one thing? Todd's a militant type evangelist, so if Todd came across a spirit of infirmity that resisted attempts to be removed, he might not just wimp out, but fight it like a wrestler might fight his opponent.

[tuin103]

Discernment is not required where there is no leaven in the lump. For discernment to be useful and needed both the leaven as well as the lump must be together at the same time. This is not about works but about making a distinction between works and that is clearly not being done here. Eg: a glass eye healing (false)vs. an organic eye healing (true). You are marrying both together without using discernment.

[robertbrownell]

This is just strange thinking.

I would like to see what happens when you come up to George and tell him his healing is FALSE/demonic (he experience 4 other healings I didn't even mention.)

Then, after he WHOOPS your across your head with his bible, you can use your discernment to count the stars.

Just being playful with you, but seriously, it's not wise to call a miracle of God false, especially when you know so little about it.

[NordWarrior]

It is the fact that he is praying for them in the name of Jesus. There is power in that name. Also the peoples faith is another factor. They are also being healed because their faith has been increased. So God is at work, but it is slightly skewed by Todd.

[worship27]

hey Robert! Blessings brother! I love the way you defend the Gospel of Jesus Christ!! the good news ROCKS! I feel great on your vid here and reading your answers to the scoffers comments is truly being instant in season...I bless your ministry here in the name of Jesus and will subscribe. We really have a great opp here to minister to commenters that I am elated to see you taking advantage of for the Kingdom of God!!

[jingram27]

this so cool how jesus is moveing through the nations praise god

[yt86753098675309]

how sad

what a fraud

):

[robertbrownell]

If a doctor was a fraud, then non of his patience would be healed.

But with over 10,000 people claiming to be healed as a result of the revival, it's harder and harder to say its a fraud.

Now 6 people as a result of my prayer have claimed healings, this is after I went to the revival, which frankly wasn't happening before I went.

And you need to be careful with your public statements of judgments, because if you're wrong, then you only condemn yourself.

[robertbrownell]

Just so people know, ABC News hasn't showed that anyone in the World is being healed by Jesus, or resurrected.

[will1nice]

how the heck would abc news find out if jesus christ has healed or resurected? this happen 2000 yrs ago how the heck you expect abc news to find any info? the word of god is to be read and believed by faith.

[robertbrownell]

I meant for healing today, not 2000 years ago. We know that Jesus is healing many people today, but the media doesn't show these.

Being a news agency and not revealing the numerous healings done worldwide by Jesus Christ, just shows the media's stance on Jesus.

[will1nice]

all i have to say is if people need to see healings in order to believe then they are false witness. they love works and can not believe by faith. when a true christian does not need to see in order to believe. i think you guys dont even understand what it means to be a true christian.

[robertbrownell]

Here is why I went. I've been preaching the Gospel for a while, and evangelizing also.

But, in the bible when they preached the Gospel, it came with signs, wonders and power. To remove this aspect is unbiblical & also unfruitful.

Yes, it's unfortunate that some people we share with need to see miracles to believe, but nevertheless Jesus wants them saved! So I was there to learn how to evangelize with more than just words & doctrine.

All Christian's should Evangelize the same way Jesus did.

[will1nice]

the reason why things dont happen like before is because we have a bunch of sinners calling themselves christian. we have god as the last thing on our order. the reason god is not using people is because the gospel has been twisted and people do not know god. they think they know god but do not. if you need to show people stuff in order to convert them, then maybe its time to examine yourself. the gospel itself is power if your used by god u do not need to show signs god speaks through the word

[robertbrownell]

Will1Nice, I see your point.

But the fact is the Jesus did shows healings, signs and wonders, so for us to downplay this, and say that it's not necessary is basically condemning Jesus for using these things.

Jesus was the model, we should be doing things the same way He did, otherwise we are following someone else's model.

[jewel7777]

Really it seems like you think you are a expert. God will use anything he wants to get your attention. An audible voice a dream a vision signs and wonders. The biggest sin of Israel was that they forgot what God did for them. They forgot about the signs and wonders. Read your Bible please God is infinite we are finite we can not figure him out if you think you have you are in a sin called pride. The Lord breaks the neck of the prideful. Get the log out of your eye. Blessings

[blinkmdg]

are u saying that Thomas was not a true christian??? or r u saying that jesus didn't pick his disciples properly??? if ppl who saw miracles were false witnesses i'm sorry to say that christianity would not have spread at all... Paul needed a miracle to become a christian and peter also needed the same... if not for them there wud be no world wide spread of it... jesus did the same

[jewel7777]

Does a child need to see there parents actions of love? Does a child have to be secure and feel protected and loved. Since people can not Physically see God they need to experience him. If all you ever did was talk with your parents but never played with them as a child or laugh with them or go places with them you would grow up disfunctional. Right this is why the Body of Christ is disfunctional. We need to experience him too. We need to to see to believe sometimes. Open your eyes to Him.

[joolzanne7]

Err actually how do you know that everyone who was healed was already a Christian?

Healings are signs to those who do not yet have a relationship with Jesus. But in this even Christians can be healed as their healing can be a great testimony to their family, friends, community. Also just cos you are a Christian does not mean that you don't get depressed or lose strength in your faith if you have become ill or disabled.

[joolzanne7]

Yea but the media is soooo happy to show and encourage people to get involved with the paranormal on the darker side, eg. Yvette Fielding and team on Most Haunted are lurring gullible celebrities into their lare, I pray that these programmes will be stopped Amen.

[brownkknight]

We now live in a period of grace. Fellow christians for your sake, seek a true understanding of the "GOOD NEWS"

[FirekeepDOTcom]

Thank you for posting this. In the end, we all believe what we want.

Mark 16:17-18 (Amplified Bible)

17And these attesting signs will accompany those who believe: in My name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new languages; 18They will pick up serpents; and [even] if they drink anything deadly, it will not hurt them; they will lay their hands on the sick, and they will get well.

[imgoinup]

I have been at the outpouring since day 2.I have been exposed to all of the "inside" places and can assure that there is and NEVER has been worship of angels. Jesus is the object of all of the worship. Todd has said many times from the pulpit that we DON'T worship angels, but they are certainly among us. I have gotten to know the worship leaders on and off stage, they are worshipers of Jesus and live their lives to glorify Him. neg comments come from taking a glimpse and judging out of context

[angel1charlie]

YAY!! someone with a positive outlook!! and speaks the Truth!!

Numbers 6: 24-26The LORD bless thee, and keep thee: the LORD make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee: the LORD lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace

[minstrelpat]

awillis35 have u ever heard of Elijah and Elisha.. perfect example of transferrable annointing. Robert I too have noticed God using me more in healings since I went and got some :) blessings!

[awillis35]

Yes I have read about Elijah and Elisha and that does'nt even remotely relate to what has been going on in Lakeland. The word of God does'nt support that kind of nonsense. The message of the Bible is Jesus Christ and him crucified, not manifestations, angels, people shaking uncontrollably, and etc.

[robertbrownell]

Over 10,000 people claiming healing is NOT nonsense.

Teams of over 100 people, went out every day to preach the Gospel in Florida, we were taught the WAY OF THE MASTER style by Todd's team. Which is about Jesus Christ.

There were manifestations of the Holy Spirit, which are all over the bible.

And yes, some people did have encounters with angels, Very biblical.

May the people who have NOT had encounters with angels stop telling us who have had encounters that our experience is unbiblical.

[kyrouac]

2. So you haven't heard Todd preach Jesus' cross/resurrection enough? How much is enough? I think clearly if he states that JESUS IS HIS LORD, even once- that means he can't be of Satan. (I guess unless he hurries up and starts worshiping little idols every time he says it!)

3. If you really believe TODD BENTLEY to be of the Devil- pulling the wool over the eyes of the masses, then DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT! You had better take responsibility for your convictions- find out what this guy's about!

[kyrouac]

Thank you for putting this up Robert. God Bless you.

To all of you out there that keep repeating "Todd Bentley doesn't preach the cross/Calvary-"

1. You need to watch either more of his videos and/or broadcasts- He is preaching this- but do you want him to keep talking about it or simply DO it? Please read what Jesus was all about in Luke 4: 18-19. You will find that after Jesus proclaims what he's all about- people turn against him too!

[veildown7]

No... I thought it said satan would come as an angel of light and deceive. Here's a scripture for you. Colossians 2::8Do 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. 19He has lost connection with the Head, from whom the whole body, supported and held together by its ligaments and sinews, grows as God causes it to grow.

[robertbrownell]

I was there for 1 week, nobody saw any worship of angels, that many have claimed.

There were over 1000 ministers there each night, we would have noticed if anyone worshiped angels. It just didn't happen. Either on camera, off camera, or in the Morning Service.

I was an Usher/Catcher at the revival, and was allowed into places most people weren't, there was nothing that glorified Angels, they are simply ministering spirits, sent by Jesus.

[angel1charlie]

Awesome!!!Numbers 6: 24-26 May The LORD bless thee, and keep thee: the LORD make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee: the LORD lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace

[davidbrucemusicvideo]

could whoever edited this video get back to me? i just wanted to say i think u should lose the background music totally because some of the testimonies are hard to hear. i don't want ANYONE having a hard time hearing what they're saying if its true! thanks!

[robertbrownell]

Yea, it was me, unfortunatly I lost the original files, so I can't fix it. Sorry, I'll consider it for the next video.

[Ahouseisnotahome]

I notice none of the 33 resurrected people are on the phone here giving their email address. This alone should alert you to how Bentley lies.

I am a believer in healings, I am also a believer in counterfiet healings (Matt 7:19-22).

Please do an independant investigation into the resurrections and post it here. Get them all to leave a mesaage.

Strange also that no limbs are growing back, I have watched countless hours of this mockery and not once seen a single limb replaced.

[RGLAvant]

This is not the kind of verification that passes muster.

An independent MEDICAL investigation is when a medical doctor looks at the person's medical records before their healing & then does a complete medical examination afterwards. Preferably in a doctor's office.

[robertbrownell]

Ok, if this is the MEDICAL proof that you need. Then, to be fair, show me one medically verified healing of a person, that you know, or is at your church, or in your state, or of your denomination. (We know there are.)

Why is it that when I interview people who are healed, and then get verification from Pastors, Friends and relatives; Believers won't believe them, but will believe a doctor. Are doctors more honest than pastors?

[RGLAvant]

1st I didn't say that I didn't believt pastors, family, friends but that these healings should be verified by a medical doctor. The reason should be apparent. Family, friends, pastor are not unbiased observers but emotionally attached to the claiming to be healed.

When Tood met w/ABC they asked for only 3 healings that were medically verified & he gave none.

I'm not sure what ur 1st point is. What would another miracle that s verified have to do w/ FL healings?

[worship27]

Hey Buddy! thank you for your good report here- such a blessing to see this report. After reading text on some other videos I was sick to my stomach over it for days and wanted to post comments torward the unbelievers to try to help convert them, but after much prayer, did not. Thanks again

[minstrelpat]

thank you so much for this video.

[KingdomVoice]

I BELIEVE EVERYTHING ROBERT HAS SAID. Anyone can be bold when they are high or drunk, but try being Bold for Jesus Christ.

[KingdomVoice]

I completely agree with Robert. His argument in favor of this real move of God is true, intelligent, and biblical. Everyone who has reservations against him or the revival have no truth, no basis for arguing and are uniformed of Gods Word. Stop fighting the truth. Read Gods word for yourself and find the one true salvation message. The Bible clearly states, there is only one way to the Father God and its through Jesus Christ. God is for you, not against you. Todays the day for salvation.

[nododon]

Fuck you Robert you bastard.

[robertbrownell]

Is this the same spirit that is attacking Todd?

[nododon]

Yes it is. It's called my sin nature. I am guilty of using foul language. I am just one pissed off Christian who sees my Lord being mocked by you fucking morons.

The same source of my sin nature (Satan) is the same force of evil that both you, Robert, and Todd Bantley follow.

[robertbrownell]

As a Christian, your mouth belongs to Jesus. So don't let anything that belongs to Him get defiled.

Here is what I saw when I went to the revival. About 10,000 Christian, from around the world, worshiping Jesus for about 2 hours each and every night, in Unity, though there were many denomination, but no fighting. And a large number of people get healed, who worship Jesus even louder after their healing.

Where in America do you see anything like that?

It is Honoring God.

[stasha47]

Sometimes healing is a process. I am an example of that. I had a serious illness in December that nearly claimed my life and left me having to relearn how to walk because I was so weakened by it. I am only here by God's grace and the prayers that my family and two churches lifted for me. We are continuing to stand in faith that my arthritis and high blood sugar will be healed and that my singing voice will come back completely just as my speaking voice did after a month on a ventilator.

[awillis35]

It simply makes no difference the number of so-called healings that are taking place, even if there is a legitimate healing here and there. The more serious issue is that Todds message does'nt line up to the word and that should be warning enough. It amazes me the number of ministers who are approving this revival when its simply not of God. I begin to wonder if any of these ministers are actually called of God.

[robertbrownell]

The word of God, when it came out of Jesus's mouth and the disciples, was backed up by signs, wonders, healings and miracles. That's why Jesus said, "Now that they've seen the miracles, they have no excuse for their sin" What was their sin. They hated the people that God sent them. If you say that these signs don't show that God is behind the revival, they you're also saying that the signs the disciples did, didn't prove that God was with them.

[awillis35]

Hello Robert,

If I'm understanding correctly, you are using the fact that Jesus performed healings and miracles as an example to validate Todd Bentley, I do not see it that way at all. First and foremost, Jesus was the "Son of God" manifest in the flesh, he was DEITY. Todd Bentley is just a mere mortal man as you and I. Now, the scripture is clear that there will be those in the last days that do signs and wonders, but Jesus will say, I never knew you. So, you cannot use healings and miracles

[robertbrownell]

What gets me mad is this. Jesus said there would be signs that followed the believers, as you're probably familiar with.

Many of the people who are not showing any signs are the very critics of Todd who is showing the signs.

It is possible to be a disobedient Christian doing signs, because as the bible says, annointing are without repentance.

But for people to say that Jesus doesn't know Todd. How do they know that? It's really their guess, because they don't approve of his style.

[awillis35]

To validate a work of God. We must use the message that is being preached, "is it scriptural? Does it line up with the word of God. Todds message does not. Dont you see that?

[robertbrownell]

God wants to heal you.  (That's biblical)

There are ministering Angels. (That's Biblical)

Get full of the glory of God. (That's Biblical)

Transferable annointing. (That's Biblical)

BAM!!! (Ok, I couldn't find that in the concordance :)

[awillis35]

Robert, everything that you have said is rather nebulous. I'm not sure exactly what your trying to say, I will say this, the bible does'nt teach that there is a transferable annointing and as far as angels go, they are not for us to call down and command to do things for us, not scriptural either. Do you know the scripture in the bible that says "for the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness, but unto us which are saved it is the power of God"? Well the power is tied to

[robertbrownell]

Yes there is transferable annointing, as Paul said "For I am longing to see you so that I may impart to you some spiritual gift to make you strong," Romans 1:11

1/3 of the bible is reguarding Angelic encounters, now is that somehow unbiblical.

Ps.We did preach the cross, when our evangelical teams (taught by Freshfire) went out in Lakeland, for the unsaved. Yes it is foolishness to many unsaved people.

[awillis35]

First of all, that scripture in no way means that one can transfer the annointing, you are simply misinterperting what the scripture is saying. Next, the Holy Spirit is a gentlemen and when he falls, people do not act like nuts, shaking and acting like they are having a fit. Additionally, you are not preaching the cross, you may think you are but your not. If you truly understood the cross you would'nt be following after Todd Bentley.

[robertbrownell]

Throwing accusations and slander against the revival is not preaching the cross.

The "Holy Spirit is a Gentlemen" is a man made saying, not in scripture. I even used to tell people that.

Some people just react differently when the spirit moves on them.

As a catcher at the revival, I saw many people fall when the Spirit of God.

At the revival we were taugh this prayer before hands were laid on

"Lord Jesus, what ever is from you I accept, and whatever is not from you I reject."

[awillis35]

Having an understanding of the cross, and what it means to the christian is the key to an abundant life in Christ, if you dont understand that, then you will follow after after thing that comes down the pike.

[awillis35]

tied to calvary, no calvary, no power, no preaching cross, no power, and our brother Todd simply does'nt preach calvary, and I dont mean mention Jesus now and then.

[robertbrownell]

Don't let your own words condem you.

Now, by what you say, if you (awillis35) are truely preaching the cross, then 100s should be physically healed by you.

What good is it to preach a powerless Jesus, that's not what any of the apostals did. With over 10,000 recorded healings, you just can't claim there's no power.

[tsidkenu223]

everyone has there own thing, don't get so caught up of having to find every little detail in the bible. It's so easy to be offended isn't it? It's obvious you don't know everything about God, nor do I, So I doubt full if you could tell me if God said "bam" when he threw down his pillar of fire to stop pharaoh and his men. The scriptures don't every detail about God, just tells a little bit about him, if you spent as much time with God as todd has, maybe you would find your self saying bam...

[FirebrandNIRE]

And the LORD has kept his promise to these people. HE has indeed sent them strong delusion.

[robertbrownell]

Strong Delusion is to ignore over 10,000 healings, and 1000s of salvations (happening in under 3 months), because the persons that God is using doesn't fit our standard.

[FirebrandNIRE]

All yet to be substansiated. These poeple are not not being healed, open your eyes.

[robertbrownell]

Open my eyes! I witness a man with a glass eye, starting seeing through it. (lights and shadows) We even verified it with his pastor. He took out his eye and handed it to me. Yes they are being healed. Their testimony of being healed is stronger than your testimony, they they weren't (when you don't even know them.)

The proof is already documented if anyone wants to dig into it.

[SKYSPLASH]

Satan Can Heal WAKE UP....

was there a follow up.

Oh and in the End were all Destined to Death ...BOok of Ecccl.esiatics ... WHos Preaching that.

Where is the message of the Cross

[robertbrownell]

So, for the non-believes out there, SkySplash, please tell them why satan is healing over 10,000 people, but Jesus is not doing that anywhere?

Also, this is more of a healing revival, most of us that went were already ministers. But we did have teams of 100s each day go out on the streets each day to preach the Gospel, (Way of the Master Style). Which has a heavy focus on Sin, Repentance and the Cross.

[SKYSPLASH]

Check it out TOd had only a few TATOOS like 2 or 3 before he was saved....I have videos on my playlist of his early preaching you can barely find one tatoo. He Got these tatoos later after being saved. Oh and also after being saved .. later he claims 25 demons were cast out of him. Who ever heard of a Born Again Believer Possessed with 25 Devils after being saved.

[robertbrownell]

So he got a bunch of Jesus tattoos, how is it that you can look at the outward appearance but be blind to the fact that Todd's team helped lead over 1 million people to Christ, in 65 nations.

Yes, many Christian's go through deliverance after getting saved! We see it all the time on the mission field. Remember, once the Israelites entered the promise land, they still needed to drive out the inhabitants.

[SKYSPLASH]

Not all his tatoos are biblical some are occultic. And the Law of Moses states not To pierce or Mark your Body with tatoos.

Now if Tod were any other Christian there would not be such a carefull examination.

But hes not he has Just been elevated to the office of Apostle Whats NEXT POPE>

[robertbrownell]

So, after Todd was converted, he didn't go to Seminary and find out that Tattoos are against the Levitical Law.

Wow, what a crime!

Again, don't look at the outward appearance of a man, but after his heart. Someone who doesn't know Jesus, would not go to 65 nations of the world and get over 1,000,000 people to make a public confession of Faith in Jesus Christ.

[SKYSPLASH]

Listen hes not your average Christian hes a TEACHER that should be above REPROACH... He has talked to an Angel Called Emma who is WOrshipped in Asia as a DEMON. He has an Asian Tatoo.

The bible is Clear Signs and wonders WILL DECIEVE even GODS ELECT.

Ever HEAR of WOLVES IN SHEEPS CLOTHING.,

TOD CLAIMS he looked into the EYES of JESUS.

[robertbrownell]

So if a Asian tribe worships a demon called "Gabriel", would you then say that Mary and Joseph talked to a demon?

No, you wouldn't!

Can you find anywhere that Todd identified the angel he talked with as that Japanese Demon? Biblically that demon can't exist, because it's definiation contradicts scripture.

[dlt1580]

why do they turn away people if they are not totally into Todd?

[robertbrownell]

Do you mean, why do we turn people away from the revival. I was there, and we didn't turn people away, we needed to expand into a bigger tent to hold all the people.

We're not totally into Todd, he's an overweight, bald, tattooed, shabby dressing, unattractive militant evangelist. Not much to be prideful of. A lot less than most preachers. But God has chosen the foolish things of this world to confound the wise. God is using Todd for this revival.

[revivalgirl]

HI casting out demons out of saved people was against my theology but it happened to me. I was raised in church and was born again in '92and filled with the Holy Spirirt in '93 with the evidence of speaking in tongues. I have laid my hands on people to get saved healed filled. So what ever my theology was is now changed and God is the author and finisher of my faith. I claim Jesus as Lord and the Word of God is inspired of God.May-be, if you dig deeper in the Word you too will find the answer.

[dlt1580]

there is no place in the bible when Christianity began....which is the cross and atonement given where a born again believer ever has a demon cast out. I am pretty sure that if it were possible it would be addressed after Jesus rose from the dead. That stuff was taken care of on the cross.

The Holy Spirit resides in each born again believer.

[robertbrownell]

Sickness was also taken care of at the Cross, but Christians still get sick.

But because of the Cross, we have authority over evil spirits of sickness, and we can cast them out.

[nododon]

revivalgirl. Tongues is something you have convinced yourself is real. It's a psychotic state of mind and has nothing to do with God. Tongues of the Bible was different than what you experience. It was a gift for the listener to be able to hear the testimony of the one speaking the tongue. You have it all screwed up. The charismatic nonsense you subscribe to is nothing more than wishful thinking. That goes for these bogus healings too. It's all a sham, and Bentley is a fraud.

Todd the Fraud.

[tspencley3]

lol why doesn't todd go to the hospitals and heal? why doesn't todd heal visible healings (e.g. make a limb grow) he can't because he is a false prophet. there is plenty of information that exposes him, including the bible. you refuse to deny that because you only follow todd bentley and signs and wonders. you are not a real christian, repent and turn to God.

[robertbrownell]

If you're from God, why don't you go to Hospitals and heal?

I saw many visible healings, like a boys face reconstructed infront of 1000s of people, the boy's face looked visibly different leaving the building. Verified by his mother.

You seem very experienced at collecting people sins and exposing them. Kind of like what the Pharisees did against Jesus.

Jesus said certain signs would follow his believers, I saw them with Todd, but are any of these signs following you?

[dlt1580]

I see demons over todds head. satan can heal.

[robertbrownell]

God is the Healer, satan is the counterfeit. How did anyone convince you that 10,000 healings were from satan, is there no man of God doing this on earth today?

We saw Todd casting out demons, in Jesus name. How can satan cast out satan?

Where in the bible do we see satan healing many people? he is the one that makes us sick.

[DryBONESreborn]

Why did Tod Bently hit a guy in the stomach? God would ever hit anyone. He rubbed mud in someone's eyes, but not hit them.

[robertbrownell]

With all the strange, wonderful, bizarre, extreme, clever, funny and outrageous things that God did through out creation, i.e. talk through a donkey, send frogs into Pharaoh's bedroom, drop King Saul on his face prophesying, blind Elymas, send ravens to feed Elijah, Flood the entire Earth, ETC.

Now do we find it impossible that a spirit of infirmity might be kicked out of a person. (who was actually healed after the incident.)

[600girard]

Rob, do you have any videos of healings of people with visible problems. Most of what I hear is about healings on the inside. Things that can't be seen or things that are easily faked. I'm not saying they are faking, but they could be. I believe the bible talks about visible healings so the unsaved will repent. Do you have any videos os visble healings?

[robertbrownell]

When I went there I only had a camera, but several of the people I interviewed were visably different when the left the service. Sorry I didn't capture that for everyone :(

[600girard]

Can anyone direct me to quality videos of "visible healing?"

[robertbrownell]

Of all the healings that I interviewed, they were healed before they got on stage. Before even a camera captured them.

Many Todd did not pray for because of the high numbers, but the audience was praying for people when we saw an infirmity.

[tsidkenu223]

It's a wicked adulteress Generation that seeks for a sign, those who need proof that God is moving was called this in the bible. It was the people coming to test Jesus, the Pharisees and such that came to test Jesus demanding a sign because nothing he did before was good enough for them. It wasn't good enough for a blind man from birth that they saw everyday come in healed, they wanted more. Tested God.. Yes? Trusted God.. No

[robertbrownell]

(It wasn't good enough for a blind man from birth to see) Good point. We interviewed George (and his pastor) who had a missing eye, he even pulled out a glass eye and handed it to me. He started seeing out of the glass eye! (Simple Lights and Shadows at first). George trusted God, and later (from email) now has full sight.

Yet this miracle, is not good enough for people.

We saw many terminal people there, who really trusted God.

[CTHULUgreatoldone]

seeing througha glass eye?uh yeah okay yous trange peoepl need to start taking your psyche meds..

[robertbrownell]

I was there, I tested the glass eye!

He could not see clearly but started to see lights and shadows. The back of his missing eye started responding to light.

You need to have faith in God! Is anything impossible for our God?

[SKYSPLASH]

Partial healing ?  And I saw that segment Tod claimed he made the Blind see as Jesus. Where did Jesus partially heal.

[robertbrownell]

There was a blind man that Jesus prayer for, where Jesus needed to pray a 2nd time, to complete the healing.

Do you think it possible that we, who have a lot less faith than Jesus did, might make the mistake of not completing a healing prayer? Maybe assuming its fulling healed when its not.

P.s. That man whose blind eye was partially healed, now has full vision. His pastor just e-mailed me.

[dlt1580]

Very astute and very true

[gwesparza]

How many times have you heard the name of Jesus in this program? How many times have you heard the name Todd? Who is getting the glory here?

[robertbrownell]

When I was there, I heard the name of Jesus lifted high and glorified. Not Todd. If Todd tried to Glorify himself, (and X Drug dealer, fat, tattooed, militant biker type preacher) we would have thrown up.

God choose Todd because he can't glorify himself.

[gwesparza]

Too bad the leaders that put Todd in that place of highness should have looked a bit closer at his past. Healing from substance abuse can and is a life long journey. I pray for Todd, and the leaders to be more truthful instead of showful..

[robertbrownell]

Yea, we want to see Todd restored.  He worked in the Word of Knowledge gift as good as anyone, and we want to see that in the body of Christ.

I think the leaders (apostolic ones) handled it fine, once they knew there was an issue, they dealt with it openly, truthfully, quickly, and strictly.

Todd has the great ability of imparting faith which is very needed in the body.

[dawnzlight]

I agree with you 100% here..and pray for his healing, family's healing and restoration.

[aaawillis35]

Bologne, Robert, you lack discernment in the greatest kind of way. What is going to take for you to see that Todd Bentley was and is false.

[robertbrownell]

The gift of discernment, or recognizing spirits, is a valuable gift.

To be able to discern spirits, it is usually necessary to be in the presence of these spirits, but aaawillis35, you never went to the revival to get any discernment. We did.

And if Bentley so false and you're so true, where are all the people that you've healed through your prayer.

[joolzanne7]

There is nothing false about the name of Jesus Christ and the power of the Holy Spirit healing real people there and then in that room and beyond.

Hear the amazing tesitmony of a young girl 18 I think who was in a different country or place and was considered dead as she had no pulse and she first saw a vampire that represented a voodoo curse of 7 people who had cursed her and then she saw people praying and worshiping and a bright light then she was resurected from death!!! listen to it

[awillis35]

This in no way validates this ministry as being of God, I have been following this revival and also many of Todd Bentleys associates and I can say for 100%, its unbiblical, and ungodly. Its a shame christians have no discernment these days. You may ask how I know this, the message thats preached is not scriptural, Pauls message was Jesus Christ and him Crucified. No such thing as transferrable annointing.

[robertbrownell]

Saying that you've been following this revival, and NOT going to the revival is academically unacceptable! How much discernment must you have to realize that several 1000s of people, (25 I interviewed and verified) don't get healed unless God has something to do with it. PS. Now 4 people have claimed to be healed by me, after I went to the revival, this wasn't happening before! Something transfered.

[awillis35]

I do not have to attend the revival to know whats going on, there are plenty of youtube videos on it and I have read about it also. Now, the healings do not prove anything, the more serious matter is the message which simply does'nt line up with scripture. There is no where in the Bible that you will find a transferrable annointing. I challenge anyone to give scripture. Next, the scripture says that we are to try the spirits and I have done so and I find the revial to be in error according

[robertbrownell]

Biblical Reference to Transferable anointing:

(NASB) Romans 1:11 For I long to see you so that I may impart some spiritual gift to you, that you may be established.

Acts 19:6

(ISV) When Paul laid his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came on them, and they began to speak in tongues and to prophesy.

Test the Spirit: We did, "Jesus, the Song of God, did come in the flesh and has risen"

[ColoradoServant]

Look up Acts 19:11. Handkerchiefs and aprons that Paul touched were taken to the sick and their illnesses cured.

So, you're wrong. Are you going to admit it? Or are you the one Paul writes about in II Timothy 3:5 "having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with them."

[sunergos7]

. Let's keep a Biblical open mind and pray for a clearer presentation of the Gospel i.e. conviction of sin leading to repentance & conversion from works of darks to light, confession of a living faith in the risen Christ not an experience with an angel.

[awillis35]

Well, I was hoping to see my comment so that I could finish my thought here, I see comments are pending approval, nevertheless hopefully you will get this. As I was saying the message is the foundation and it simply is unbiblical,no mention of calvary, just about zero, how can this revival be valid without the mention of the cross, that is preaching the gospel. Finally, everyone this gentleman is affiliated with is very questionable.

[robertbrownell]

What do you mean no message of the Cross. 10 minutes before I read your message I heard Todd say "He is Risen".

Also, this is more of a healing revival, most of us that went were already ministers. But we did have teams of 100s each day go out on the streets each day to preach the Gospel, (Way of the Master Style).By the way, since I came back, 4 people I prayed for have claimed to be healed, that was NOT happening before I left.

[sunergos7]

Healings? YESssss! Source of healings as yet ????????. To be sure these "angelic visitations" are unbiblical (that is, these experiences do not match any angelic encounter in the Bible) and they sound more like a neo Gnostic / new age mysticism. Experience, however convincing, needs to be doctrinally sound and Christ centred. Other "angelic" visitations resulted in Mormonism & Islam.

[robertbrownell]

So, do you think Todd is casting out devils by the prince of devils?

Is this type of Angelic Visitation biblical, I tell you not being ministered by Angels is Unbiblical. How is it that an angel can talk through a donkey (in Genesis), but yet Todd's encounter is impossible? Do you know every single protocol that an angel is allowed to do?

[sunergos7]

Thank you for your comments

1) "Casting out devils with devils" see John MacArthur notes on Luke 11:17-19; 2) I said "Source of healings as yet?" i.e. unknown; 3) I made no mention of not being ministered to by angels; 4) angels didn't talk through the donkey, God did; 5) I didn't say this encounter was impossible only unbiblical; 6) I know the scriptural ones, any good concordance will show you, anything else is Gnostic mysticism.

Love Joy Peace Sunergos7

[robertbrownell]

About 1 year ago, when I was sick to my stomach once, I had an angel minister to me, and help me clear out my stomach.

Nowhere in the bible did an angel do that, so my encounter must have been unbiblical Gnostic Mysticism.

Actually it happened! No Joke. Where in the bible does it say, Todd's encounter could never happen?

[SKYSPLASH]

Tell me where it METNIONS in the Bible about an Angel Called EMMA or better yet . Why Does GOd have Angels in heaven with GOLD COINS. Where did Jesus or anyone in the bible teach about Money In heaven ?

Matthew 7 22 is Clear people can Cast out Devils in Jesus name but Jesus said HE NEVER KNEW THEM. GOt that NEVER KNEW THEM. they were never Born Again. Dont you think Satan Can Put on a SHow of SIGNS AND WONDERS. that an EVIL GENERATION will FLOCK to.

Bentleys Jesus is ANOHTER JESUS .

[robertbrownell]

We know there are millions of Ministering angels. How do you know there is none called Emma? Gabriel introduced himself to Mary, so it's not unbiblical to do so. (Don't worship them.) Have you ever seen an angel?

Jesus told Peter to find a coin in a fish's mouth.

Todd never claimed to be the messiah or a prophet, just someone with faith enough to pray for healing. Which all believer should be able to do, including you. Nothing evil about healing a person that Jesus suffer for. It's commanded.

[tspencley3]

read your bibles about angels. don't elevate them like you do your heretic celebrities.

[robertbrownell]

I was there at the revival, nobody worshiped angels!

But remember what Jesus said, "I could call down a legion of angels..."

Well sometime we do send out angles, especially for warfare, they are ministering spirits.

In fact, how can someone do much work for the Kingdom of God without working with angles? Just don't worship them.

[SKYSPLASH]

We are warned explicitly in Scripture that the devil "transforms himself into an angel of light", and that in the Last Days will come'Lying signs and wonders' that will "deceive if possible the very elect." Do we really believe that the devil is unable to perform miracles? Have we forgotten what the Bible clearly says?

[robertbrownell]

The bible clearly says that the angel of light, is the accuser of the brethern, which is what many are doing, accusing that this revival is of the devil. Most of us ministers that went to the revival are now going out, praying for the sick, and actually seeing results. 5 People now have testified that my prayer healed them, that just wasn't happening before I went to the revival.

[mrschi03]

I agree with the commenters -- thank you for putting this together! God bless you and may His Glory and fire continue to call on Lakeland and all over the world!

[JamesPaull33]

whats that at 1.53..looks like an eye in the fire ??? can u see it??

[art4life10]

Jhn 10:1 ¶ Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber. But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep. To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out....And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers.

[thnkgodimfreeatlast]

Man this must have taken alot of work on your part!!!!Thank you for this awesome report!!I believed before watching this, but its great proof for those who say this is all fake. Way to go!!! God Bless!

[jesussbravesoul]

Praise the Lord for Gods working power for today! wohoo to jesus be the Glory! Jesus sending out a call to you..."come and get some"

[ericrutgrink]

thanks for the effort you went through to make this clip. Encouraging.

[robertbrownell]

These are not stories I made up, but actual people's testimonies, which by the way is admissible in a Court of Law. And I gave the contact info for each person if you want to contact them and talk with their doctor. By the way, when a boy's face is reconstructed in front of 1000's of people, you try to explain that with biology and chemistry.
