But here
“Holy Spirit fall! God is here! We want more! More, more, more!”
That’s what Canadian evangelist Todd Bentley yells out nearly every evening to the thousands who gather to hear him preach. The 32-year-old Bentley looks more like a biker than a minister, with body piercings and tattoos all over his arms and neck. But the crowds don’t seem to mind how he looks. They just want what they believe Bentley has – the ability to heal them.
Bentley claims that God has used him to supernaturally heal hundreds of people of diseases ranging from glaucoma to diabetes to even cancer. How to explain it?
Bentley said in an interview that he doesn’t know exactly why now, why him, why Lakeland, and he does not promise that everyone who comes to him will be healed. But he does maintain a pragmatic posture toward prayer.
“I say, you have nothing to lose but your sickness. If the doctors can’t help you, why wouldn’t you give God a chance?”
Growing crowds
“If you want God, just come get some,” he shouts on stage nearly every night.Bentley has repeated a version of this invitation daily since April 2 when he and his team from Fresh Fire Ministries, which he founded in 1997, first arrived here from British Columbia, Canada, for what he thought would be five days of “revival” meetings in a local church. But those plans changed, he said, because “God is moving…and people know something is happening here.” His meetings have been extended indefinitely.
Honestly, I have been seeing this garbage posted on other blogs, but…
