For the time will come
when men will not put up with sound doctrine.
Instead, to suit their own desires,
they will gather around them a great number of teachers
to say what their itching ears want to hear.
They will turn their ears away from the truth
and turn aside to myths.
-2 Timothy 4:3-4-
Tod Bentley calling , or rather, demanding from God, angels to come down at his beckoning. Nowhere in scripture does it tell us to do such things. Or that we even have the authority. I am afraid what TB may be calling down is nothing more than demons. Whether or not he actually knows this, is between him and God.
Notice the pagan like worship music. Maybe there are those who would prefer this harsh-head-banging-mosh-pit garbage. But I am not one of them. I do not see how it would glorify the Lord in any way. Before anyone calls me religious, I would ask you, do you really think that heaven has such harsh music? Be honest.
Notice the trance-like states the people are in. Some rock back and forth, having estatic faces. They are a people possessed for the moment. As they have completely given over their emotions, minds and heart to the event taking place. There is no soundness. They have given themselves over to a delusion.
"Let the angels come down with fire!" Does he even know what he is saying here? Jesus rebuked James and John for even suggesting calling down fire. (Luke 9:51-56) Fire is associated with Gods' wrath. Fire can be a purifying process also. But, when ungodly men teach ungodly lies, I have no reason to believe they are calling down a holy fire. Rather a fire of wrath. No way would I want to be in the middle of that kind of heathenistic environment!
"Say it with me." TB continues to lead people in the delusion.
"That heaven would open, angels of glory, angels of healing, warring angels...I want you to lift up your voice and call down the angels!" What heresies! What blasphemies! There is but One who heals. His name is Jesus!
TB chants the word "angels" 17 times. Why is this? I did a search and could only come up with the following. Seems like William Branham (who was a heretic himself) also believed the number 17 had some kind of mystical power: He believed and taught the number 17 is associated with the appearance of angels. So TB chants it 17 times. Is he aware of just how many times he spoke the word? I believe so. As this new "mystic" movement in the church is nothing other than the occult wrapped up neatly in a little package full of lies and deceptions. IF anyone who confesses to know Christ, does not know any better, then they do not have any buisness trying to lead others. For they both will fall in the same ditch.
Chanting is of the pagans. We are commanded by Jesus not to do it. "But when you pray, (meaning asking God for anything) do not use vain repetitions as the heathen do. For they think they will be heard for their many words." MATTHEW 6:7 What exactly does chanting do? It creates a mood in the chanter. It brings about a type of self-induced bliss, if you will. You put your brain on hold and let other forces take control.
These heretics never humbly ask anything of God! They just reach up and try to steal it!
Unless you love the Truth, God will give you over to the idols of your heart.
