Glad to see that there are some that have the same opinion of the Todd Bentley and the “third wave” crowd that I do. Show some people a few lying signs and wonders and they will believe anything.<\/p>\n

Anytime someone goes beyond what Scripture tells us, he is \u201cintruding into those things which he hath not seen.\u201d (Col. 2:18) Speaking of \u201cintruding into those things which he hath not seen\u201d and being \u201cvainly puffed up by his fleshly mind,\u201d check this out:<\/p>\n

Here are a couple of excerpts from Todd Bentley’s 2003 article entitled Angelic Hosts:<\/p>\n

“So when I need a financial breakthrough I don’t just pray and ask
\nGod for my financial breakthrough. I go into intercession and
\nbecome a partner with the angels by petitioning the Father for the
\nangels that are assigned to getting me money: \u2018Father, give me
\nthe angels in heaven right now that are assigned to get me money
\nand wealth. And let those angels be released on my behalf. Let
\nthem go into the four corners of the earth and gather me money.\u2019”<\/p>\n

There is no mention of Jesus Christ here in Bentley\u2019s praying. He just partners with angels to get what he wants<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Looking to these externals (signs, wonders, dreams, miracles, etc.) is tied with looking to mere men. They become idols of our hearts. If we are going to look to men, look to the apostle Paul, John, and Peter. They were authentically His disciples, filled with His Spirit, honored His holy Word above all else, and walked with Him. The Bible tells us they were \u201choly men of God.\u201d (2 Pet. 1:20-21) God Himself approved these men as opposed to the many self-proclaimed prophets and self-promoting deceivers on the scene today. Look to Jesus Christ. His Word is final authority (Rom. 3:3-4). Didn’t Jesus tell us that false prophets who come in His holy name would deceive “many”? (Matt. 24:5, 11, 24) Also, did He not foretell that “MANY” who call Him “Lord, Lord” and even use His name in vain to do miracles, prophesy, and do many wonder works, are going to hell? (Matt. 7:21-23)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It is essential to believe what God has revealed to us about Jesus Christ. We must remain in those fundamental doctrines of Christ or we will lose out in the end. The mission of the enemy is to use one of his many deceivers to move you away from the doctrinal and spiritually pure worship of Jesus Christ our LORD. Examine this next passage closely. 2 John 7-11 says:<\/p>\n

\u201cFor many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist. Look to yourselves, that we lose not those things which we have wrought, but that we receive a full reward. Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not (does not remain) in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
