The Healing Angel is in the House!

In Todd Bentley’s blog post entitled “May 22nd Weekend Wrap Up,” Bentley said that while ministering, he felt the “healing angel” show up. This is what Bentley said on his blog:
Wow! What an amazing time we had Saturday night! During the worship I felt the healing angel show up. I began to immediately start ministering words of knowledge to people. It was healing and prophetic words! People were getting touched by Jesus! I love how the Lord always shows up. (Source – see above link)

Here we go again. Bentley’s familiar approach to ministry should be no surprise. The more he talks about angels and trips to Heaven, the more followers he reels in. It worked in the past, so why not now? Now, before you’re tempted to believe this is just another one of Bentley’s tall tales (which, it is), let’s consider Bentley’s claims as they compare to the ministry of William Branham. To keep it quick and short – Bentley claims the same angel that guided William Branham and John G. Lake is the same angel that guides him. This is from Let Us Reason Ministries:
Bentley says: “Then on December 5, 2000 an angel appeared to me and said he was the angel that appeared to me in April 1998 (before the Lord Jesus Christ came to me in the kitchen). He said that the day he came to me in 1998 was the day he was assigned to me. This time (on December 5th) the angel said, “I am the angel that has been assigned to your life. I am a healing angel . . . You are going to take miracles, signs and wonders around the world.”
“I was with William Branham” (the Voice of Healing movement), the angel said. He told me about William Branham’s angelic encounter in 1946. Two years later the Voice of Healing was born there was a revival.”
”The angel appeared to me again, February, 2001 in Albany, Oregon. He said, “I am the angel that was a part of the Healing Rooms . . . John G. Lake.” Next, my spirit was quickened when I read about the angel in the Bible—John Chapter 5. The word says there was a pool called Bethesda (v. 2) and multitudes of lame, blind, sick would come there and at a certain time, an angel of the Lord would come down and stir the waters. Whoever could get into the pool first would be healed.
I started to understand the angel described in John Chapter 5 was one of many thousands of angels that are in heaven that are called to bring healing, not just through ministries, but in cities and in nations. This revelation resonated within me and in January, 1999 I was taken into the heavens and saw over 100 healing pools. I thought of several famous healing evangelists and also the Toronto Blessing and the revival in Pensacola.
So I said, “Lord what are you saying?” He said, “I am going to release angels.” At that point I was taken into heaven and I was taken into a football stadium setting where I saw tens of thousands of angels in the stands. I was on the field and I had the ball. The time clock was running out of time. It was like the last play of the game and my first thought was, Why do I have the ball? I hate sports! (I was the last guy you’d want on your team. I just wasn’t athletic.) Here I am thinking: I got the ball!
It was the end-time game, there was just seconds left! The angels were in the stands yelling, “Go church go! Go church go! Go church go!” I realized they were healing angels in the stands. I thought, Lord, they are angels, just like the one I saw. “That is right!” He said. “Just like the one that was with Branham, just like the one that was with John Lake, just like the angel that was in Spokane . . .”
You know in the Book of Revelation, the seven churches, each one of the churches had one angel assigned. There was an angel for the church of Philadelphia, and so on. The Lord said, “It is not a strange thing. I assign angels to churches. I assign angels to ministries. Look at John Chapter 5. An angel came down and stirred up the water.” I said, “God!” Then, He said, “And there is a healing angel; I have assigned it to your life; and this angel will be at your meetings around the world.” (DISCERNING THE CALL OF GOD by Revivalist Todd Bentley – [as edited by Kathy Thorne] Part 2 of 2) (Source)
Okay, I’m going to supress the urge to crack out a witty response to Bentley’s ridiculous account of angels watching him play football in Heaven and stay on task here.
When Rick Joyner began Todd Bentley’s restoration, there was no hope it would be to restore him to sound doctrine since both Joyner and Bentley teach Latter Rain doctrine, which never has been and never will be sound. As you can see, Bentley is still teaching the same false doctrine of mysticism he has alway taught. Fully backed by William Branham and John G. Lake’s healing angel, Todd Bentley is, step-by-step, rebuilding the heretical ministry he lost when he left his wife for another woman and fled Lakeland, Florida in disgrace. Nothing has changed. We’re not surprised, though, are we? What Joyner has done is he has given credibility to a false prophet and a mystic. Something he himself has become known as. The sad fact? Their followers are too blind to see it.
I can still hear Bentley screaming “angels, angels, angels” in my mind and can only shudder. With that in mind, consider this next quote from Bentley from the blog post noted above:
Monday night I ministered and preached to the pastors and leaders and wow how the Holy Spirit moved!
Pastors and leaders or hirelings who allow the wolves in to devour the sheep? (John 10:12)
