There is no such thing biblically as a “dark night of the soul” marking a phase in the believerâ€™s spiritual journey. However, there are lots of reasons for depressions, funks, discouragements and feeling just plain awful â€“ our fallen nature reacting to being â€œcrucifiedâ€ is one, thus â€œblessed are you who mournâ€ – but committing sin can never be justified as being part of the process of sanctification. Episodes such as what weâ€™ve seen with Todd, look like a sign of someone who is deeply conflicted about the life he is leading as a believer and minister, his true self bubbling to the surface every once in a while – if so, it’s very harmful to Todd for his “handlers” to continue USING him the way they are and encouraging him to USE himself in ministry, when what HE needs is to not be USED. Jesus doesn’t NEED Todd Bentley, but Todd needs Jesus, deep calling to deep, the true inner self.

>I believe He started out with a pure heart but the revival treadmill wore him out body soul and spirit, especially after the depression he went through (dark night of the soul),

Interestingly enough, in the time period before Lakeland (same time he got most of his tattoos) when Bentley went through his “dark night of the soul” he had been having an affair.

When he got “wore out” at the Lakeland “revival treadmill” and once again went through his “dark nights” – he was cheating on his wife. Yes, that was Jessa with her adoring eyes standing next to him at the July 4 baptismal service. Sheeka-Boomba!

In otherwords, “Dark night of the Soul” is Bentley-speak for I’m having an affair and the holy ghost is convicting me.

Do not be fooled- it never has been about ministry burnout, it has everything to do with the stress of trying to minister while at the same time living in blatent sin. That would burn anybody out, would it not?

If Bently cannot figure this out, the final burn-out could be a hot one.

Todd Bentley, Oral Roberts, and an elephant walked into a bar….

So Tatted Todd & Co claims to have been given Oral’s mantle by the deceased Oral in a dream?

What is this except a Celebrity Endorsement where said Celebrity is conveniently dead and unable to embarrass the Official Story? With a Pentecostal Woo-Woo coat of paint?

Hi again,
Sorry if I preached too hard Sean , but Joseph was aggressive with his brothers too , and even wept over them in secret because he loved them.

There was so much misunderstanding over Joseph and his brothers.
But God had a purpose. And they were re united in the end, Praise God.

PS: This is a re post , the word muncher struck again.

WoG – course we still love you! Having different viewpoints about some things is hardly enough to extinguish love! One doesn’t have to have anything to do with the other.

No one is suggesting that anyone stop loving Todd B with the love of Christ, or that we stop interceding for him, just that we hope people will realize certain things about his ministry that we strongly feel are dangerous. But I’m very sorry this is so distressing to you, and I’m afraid maybe I’ve been pushing my point too far…I apologize and hope you will forgive me! I think you’re right to give it a rest…..please accept a big cyber-hug from me, your big sister. The Lord bless and keep you…

Hello WoG,

My intention for sharing the link was to show the testimonies of people who had been to the Lakeland event and suffered, not so much to look into Andrew Stromâ€™s analysis and his sources.

Regarding the people on Stromâ€™s list, I know for a fact that several of them were caught with their pants down in false prophesy at Bentleyâ€™s â€œapostolic alignmentâ€ ceremony. I donâ€™t know much about Strom, but I do know that his warning about these ministries is worth heeding. If you don’t want to believe him then note their collective violations of God’s commands in the scriptures.

I’m done ,

I’m deleting the bookmark after this message , (why?)

I sat staring at the tiles on my floor . In between the tiles formed a cross, Silly me, I gazed at the cross on the floor with tears dripping off my face to the floor as I remembered Jesus’s prayer while He stood in the gap , 5 times praying about us being one in John 17.
This was after I broke down in tears with my head on my folded arms in front of my computer begging Jesus for mercy and help. I nearly completed reading my emails from pastor Andrew when I realized ->

This is beyond Todd and Andrew , Behind the curtain is Ephesians 6, The wisdom of God is different from man , I choose His way
my last words…………..

WHO WILL STAND IN THE GAP?

this is the Will of God.
