Living Journey

a christian life inside an eternal plan

More on Todd Bentley around the Web

Sola Dei Gloria found something about a pastors wife and what happened in her Church after the Bentley Buzz hit…

I am a pastor’s wife and have not seen good fruit in our church from this revival. My heart has been grieved by what has been displayed and then has been reproduced. My desire is not to rip Mr. Bentley to shreds. I would simply like to share the Word in light of this revival because the Word seems to be lacking severely and also in the people who are embracing it.

She correctly points out that one of the fruits of the Spirit is ‘Self Control’…and clearly, there is none of that in this so called revival.

She reminds us that Paul had heavenly experiences but he did not boast in the ways that Todd Bentley boasts…

There is constant talk in Todd’s messages about “his” visions and revelations and experiences. Is God’s Word not enough? I dare say we have forgotten our CHIEF CORNERSTONE CHRIST JESUS!

1Cor. 13 (ENTIRE CHAPTER) Love DOES NOT PARADE ITSELF! DOES NOT BOAST! IS NOT PUFFED UP!

1Cor. 1:31..“that as it is written, HE WHO GLORIES, LET HIM GLORY IN THE LORD.”

Beloved, Paul does NOT say glory in signs, wonders, miracles, visions, experiences!!!! In fact Paul says in:

2Cor. 12:1-6 Paul has this heavenly experience please read it for yourself. Then he says this “Of such a one I will boast; yet of myself I WILL NOT BOAST, EXCEPT IN MY INFIRMITIES. vs.6 “For though I might desire to boast, I will not be a fool; for I will speak the truth. But I refrain LEST ANYONE THINK OF ME ABOVE WHAT HE SEES ME TO BE OR HEARS FROM ME.”

It’s an absolutely brilliant post on the dangers of this spiritual phenomena. Please be sure to check it out.

  1. That would be great and that is something that we can pray for!

    We need men who can lead in this way and publicly address this!

About me:

Hiya... this is just a little blurb about why this blog exists. Living journey is pretty much a personal blog with emphasis on religion, culture, politics with a bit of personal thrown in.

It's about me living a journey as a Christian woman, wife, mother of three and one Grandson. Hence the name "living journey"

I hope you enjoy my blog as much as I enjoy posting on it.
