Todd Bentley's Apostolic and Prophetic Commissioning 1/4

Tropical Storm Fay (Excerpt)
Joseph Herrin - 08/24/08

Is it mere coincidence that the same week that the storm was ravaging Florida that news came out that Todd Bentley, the leader of what was called "The Lakeland, Florida Revival" was exposed for having been carrying on an adulterous relationship with a female member of his ministry staff, and his wife has now declared that she will divorce him? How many warnings were given to the church about the uncleanness of this work and the man leading it? Yet just a little over a week before this matter became known Peter Wagner, along with 16 others, laid hands upon Todd Bentley, commissioning him as an evangelist, and prophesying that what had begun was going to continue to grow and intensify. Wagner's organization, International Coalition of Apostles (ICA), was represented in that 13 people who participated in this endorsement of Bentley were deemed to be apostles by the organization.

If these were truly apostles, then where was their spiritual discernment? Did not any understand that there was great impurity present and God was about to expose and judge it? Were these truly apostles who not only endured this evil man, but who joined themselves to him thereby sharing in his sins?

I Timothy 5:22
Do not lay hands upon anyone too hastily and thus share responsibility for the sins of others; keep yourself free from sin.

Perhaps they were not truly apostles at all. I strongly suspect the majority are not appointed by the Lord as apostles. Their appointment has come from man.

Revelation 2:2
I know your deeds and your toil and perseverance, and that you cannot endure evil men, and you put to the test those who call themselves apostles, and they are not, and you found them to be false...

If one views the proceedings of this "alignment" ceremony, they should certainly question what spirit is behind the madness. I encourage you to watch the following videos of this apostolic alignment ceremony, and pay attention to the words of those speaking. Peter Wagner prophesies a release of greater power and greater authority and yet shortly after this the entire "revival shut down. Che Ahn quotes from Scripture declaring that Todd Bentley is pleasing to Christ in every way, leading an exemplary life while the opposite has been true.

These men are considered the heads of what many view to be Spirit led and empowered ministries. Yet the truth is that they are spiritually blind, and about to make a shipwreck of their lives, and that of many babes in Christ who have placed their trust in their judgment. It is my prayer that perhaps some might be awakened to the depth of deception they have been walking in and come to repentance before the storm of God comes crashing down upon His people.

Oh dear.....how utterly pathetic. This system religion that is a million miles from Christ is so off the wall that it is nearly laughable. The only sad point is that this garbage is being continued in the name of Jesus

They all missed it on this night. Wow, what a mistake, lack of judgment and common sense. I see no record of any "apostolic alignment" in the New Testament. I guess these apostles and prophets did not see this one coming.

@sgentlemanjack112 Its not funny cause they are souls thats headed to hell... We want to win them over for Christ....I know plenty of athesis who look at this and box all think this is the truth and laugh and mock Jesus for this junk

[sgentlemanjack112]

its funny how atheists rely onthis non-christian hereacy as their definition of God and christians ing eneral

[TheApostolicFIRE]

this shows us that God gives chances to people, even men of God like Peter Wagner can make mistakes ... but we must be carefull how we juge people my friends because no matter what happens the Apostolic mantel is very real, we must be carefull not to wrongfully juge it beacuse we can offend the holy spirit.

How "telling" that he shakes his head from side to side like "NO!" as the Word of God is spoken.

What a shame that folks who can speak well in front of a crowd are often "commissioned" over those who are called. We have a LOT of experience with that one... the body of Christ does more damage to each other than other people do!

Matthew 21:13 And said unto them, It is written, My house shall be called the house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of thieves

Jeremiah 6:19 Hear, O earth: behold, I will bring evil upon this people, even the fruit of their thoughts, because they have not hearkened unto my words, nor to my law, but rejected it.

Mark 7:9 And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition

2.Corinthians 11:

14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.

15 Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.

Charleston-based street evangelist Brandt Russo was in jail Wednesday after trying to hold services at a church in Lakeland, Fla.Russo believes leaders of the church - until recently, home of controversial evangelist Todd Bentley - should be doing more to help the homeless men camped right outside their door, Wilkinson said

Russo, who has been thrown out of several nationally known charismatic churches, is not above using civil disobedience to draw attention to the plight of the homeless
