I get tired of hearing about Bentley and his latest and often bizarre claims. I found a youtube with him saying that he had just received news that someone was raised from the dead because they had his TV broadcast played during the wake. Then, Bentley goes on to say... that he hasn't verified this yet, but he just wanted to share the miracles as he gets wind of them! Does that make any sense.... NO!!! You cannot share a miracle until it has been verified, anyone could be emailing him and saying anything they wanted to, and Bentley would publicly call it a miracle before verification. The guy who was raised from the dead apparently sat up in his coffin praising God AND praising Rev Todd Bentley! WHAT!?! Interesting to see that you use to practice hypnosis and spotted the manipulation being used at these meetings straight away. To me, it's like a controlled [somewhat controlled] mass hysteria. It is soooo obvious to me that the music is used to alter ones state into one that is highly emotional and I am pretty sure that I read that once high emotion is attained then sense of reason is hampered and then you can become pliable to any direction and outside suggestion. I am also thinking that this is not too dissimilar to how you can brain wash someone by setting them on this highly emotionally charged state [how you do that can be either euphoric or tortuous] which disconnects the conscious logical mind from the sub-conscious mind, once you have done that you can manipulate and brain wash people. This flies in the face of scripture where it says... Isa 1:18 "Come now, let us reason together, says the LORD...

There is so much out here that those that stand up for Todd are either hiding under a rock or are just deluded. I have been following his actions for about 5 ears now since I came to abbotsford (and thankfully moving back to Ontario in a few weeks) and as someone that practiced hypnosis in the past saw what the whole side show was about. These people are being put into this state that whatever Todd says is ok with them on any given night. It is a combination of the Benny Hinn/Vince McMahon school of theology. I thank you for this courageous article and have added you as a favourite. Keep up the good work Jim Wright I have read just about enough about Todd Bentley and his ministry.

If we truly believe that he is a false prophet, then he himself has been deceived. So, let's be careful not to judge. We should also pray for protection, wisdom and discernment for the Body of Christ. Blessings, Dan I believe that we as Christians should pray for Todd.

I do understand how this heretical move can affect people. There is a Church that I know of that is promoting this kind of lunacy. I have family members who attend this Church! I have even gone so far as to email the Baptist Union about my concerns, I am awaiting their reply. Thanks for commenting, and keep testing every spirit against the Word of God...

I a phony repentance and surrender I surrendered to what I thought was the Holy Ghost only to hear a voice say to me the next day YOUR SURRENDERED TO THE WRONG SPIRIT. At first I thought it was the devil lying to me then I wondered if the voice I heard was God. Then six months later my life came completely unglued. I was under the judgement of God and had lost my mind, as I had a complete mental breakdown, became an alcoholic, I became addicted to Valium and lived a life worse than most unbelievers. That lasted seven years. God miraculously restored me and when I asked God what had happened to me he whispered Nebuchanezzar! I was so mentally broken that I knew if I went to a psychiatrist he would have locked me up as being incurabably mentally ill. Of course you should understand that "mental illness" is really nothing more than demon possession and everything rooted in spiritual death. I knew I was dead. I had a visit with hell as well that led to my mental breakdown, and the alcohol and valium was a way of coping with the nightmare my life had become. This Todd Bentley thing is not something anyone for any reason should play with, they are asking for a lot of spiritual trouble, demon possession being one of the problems they are at risk for. Todd Bentley is a false prophet, a liar, a false teacher, a heretic, a loose cannon in the Body of Christ. He should be avoided like the spiritual plague he is teaching!!!! Stay as far away from this man as you can get. If you doubt my story you can email me and everyone who knows me will tell you that my life is a miracle. Today I am a student pilot and an apprentice carpenter- I no longer drink, I am not addicted to valium anymore, I have gone back to school and accomplished many things with the new mind that God has restored to me.
