Point of Interest – Continued
tivity that took place.
This next statement is proof that this
whole revival is orchestrated by the same
men who brought it to the church over 20
years ago through the Vineyard:
“And now my government is in place,
and in a time of great stress I shall bring
forth my next step, for Toronto was a step,
Brownsville was another step; My next
step will be my glory, and signs like you
have never seen before...” (The Remnant
Seed”, a prophecy by Bob Jones at Hamilton,
Ontario, March, 1998).
Can a revival be genuine when you
have the same players that are involved in
continual false prophecies, false teaching
and other false revivals I think not.
Florida Outpouring on May 5, 2008:
“Paul Cain received numerous, recurring
visions and words about the coming faceless
generation healing revival. Todd flew
Paul Cain in specifically to release that
prophecy again and bless the revival. Jim
Goll also spoke over the revival as well. It
was a powerful night.”
So they are trying to make a connection
to Paul Cain’s prophecy that has recurred
for over 30 years. Certainly he is
not a good source, and it shows the discernment
of the people involved who honored
his false vision which is all about the
Latter Rain. Incidentally, Bob Jones called
Cain “the most anointed prophet that’s in
the world today.”
The Holy Spirit will always show what
is false to a believer walking in the light.
He will not bear witness to the false. But
it can take effort and perseverance for one
to get through the trappings of the shadows
to the light. Paul Cain was a prophet
above prophets among his association
of fellow “prophets” who had elevated
him to the status of a super prophet. (
HYPERLINK “http://www.letusreason.
org/Latrain5.htm” www.letusreason.org/
Latrain5.htm) He is one of the few that
knew William Branham personally and
participated in the Latter Rain movement
of the 50s. Paul Cain considered William
Branham the greatest prophet in the 20th
century. Several years ago it was revealed
that Cain was an alcoholic and a practicing
homosexual. This was revealed
by his own friends – the prophets who
did not know this for years when it was
with them, right under their own noses.
Much as he did to Cain’s discipler,
William Branham, “the Angel of the Lord”
visited Cain for the first time when he was
8, and then years later Jesus materialized
in his car and said he was jealous of his
fiancé, and told him not to marry.
His theology is Latter Rain/ Manifest
Sons of God/dominionism. His most important
teaching of all is that about Joel’s
Army. Cain said, “Many years ago…I have
came to the crossroads of life and I saw a
vision of an illuminated billboard on which
was written: ‘Joel‘s army in training.’”
This became his primary message.
In 1987 Cain met with the leadership of
Kansas City Fellowship and they received
him as a father – a prophet over prophets. It
was at this time that he also met John Wimber,
and the Kansas City prophets became
accepted into the Vineyard movement.
At a meeting in Lakeland, Paul Cain
was given a place on the platform. It is reported
that he publicly said that there were
“false rumors” about him and that he had
lived a “chaste life.”
Bentley did not correct Cain, who basically
lied about his indiscretions. (see
www.letusreason.org/Latrain25.htm)
The teaching of Joel’s Army from both
Bob Jones and Paul Cain (and others) also
finds itself in Bentley’s teachings.
On the Freshfire Web site we read:
BECOME A JOEL’S ARMY INTERN!
• Under the Leadership of Revivalist/Evangelist,
Todd Bentley
• Impartation and prayer time with Todd
Bentley Question and answer times
• Impartation is from the Latter Rain teaching
• Servant hood weekly soaking,* evangelism
• September: Miracles Signs and Wonders
• Conference
• Discipleship
From time to time Todd will have
weekly associate ministries and friends
“blast you” in the Holy Ghost.**
Interns will sit in on Supernatural Training
Centre classes once a week outreach
*(“Soaking” is an unbiblical way to receive
the Holy Spirit that was practiced in
the Vineyard)
**Blast you with the Holy Ghost! – it
is doubtful this can be the Holy Spirit who
is called “the Comforter.” One cannot be
trained to learn to impart the Holy Spirit
or enter the supernatural. This is all far removed
from the teachings of the apostles
in the Bible.)
Spiritual Manipulations and
Manifestations
“Last year God asked me an unusual
question: ‘Todd, are you ready to pray for
people to receive a double portion’ Then,
as I sought the Lord for direction in 2008,
He brought that question to my remembrance
as He said: ‘2008 is the year of the
double portion.’” (Todd Bentley, “Prophetic
Directions for 2008,” The Elijah List,
January 23, 2008.)
NOWHERE in the New Testament do
we read of the anointing being transmitted
from one person to another person, nor do
the apostles teach of any “double-portion”
anointing. This was related to only one
prophet – Elisha. This is straight out of the
heretical Latter Rain teachings and has absolutely
nothing to do with the real anointing
that already resides in every believer.
On one video we hear Bentley say,
“God told me there was going to be a special
anointing tonight. I saw an angel today
that is going to visit the children. There’s
a glory moving into the room – a drunken
glory – heavy, heavy weight glory, smokin’
glory, shekinah glory.”
Frankly, when I hear this kind of foolish
talk I fear for the person. What did
people do when they had a glimpse of the
true glory Moses was hidden in a cleft
of rocks only to see God’s passing by. In
the New Testament John was astonished
and fell as dead. I do not find anyone in
the Bible using crass language like that of
Bentley and his ilk. If you are trained by
the true Word of God you should be able
to tell if someone is sound and speaking
according to the Holy Spirit by what they
teach and how they speak. If you can’t tell,
or are unsure, then get a biblical education,
for it may mean your spiritual survival in
the times we live.
“Last night was a tremendous explosion
of miracles over cell phones! They
were coming in so fast that they could
barely keep up with the testimonies!! report
from Stephen Strader, pastor of Ignited
Church says this move of God is the
Spirit of Elijah.”
The Supernatural Realms of Heaven:
“Experiencing God in the Prophetic” is
an advertisement of a new school by Todd
Bentley and Fresh Fire Ministries. It combines
teaching on prophetic ministry with
instruction on how to engage the revelatory
realm of Heaven. “During this course Todd
will teach and impart prophetic gifting to
each student in faith that takes this course.
Todd’s goal is to share and impart everything
that he has learned and experienced in
the realm of the prophetic. (EARLY BIRD
- $110) Todd shares many of his prophetic
experiences and teaches how to activate
spiritual senses. …Saints, get ready to fly
like an eagle into the supernatural realm!
The School of the Supernatural Realms of
Heaven will help launch you there!”
Angels Everywhere
“In our ministry over the last year, this
angel has come frequently and on many
different occasions. When He comes I get a
gift – the ability to diagnose people’s sicknesses
with my left hand. At times this angel
brings words of knowledge; I get very
accurate details from God including people’s
first, middle and last names as well as
nicknames, the year they were injured, the
