color of their vehicle and the state they are
from. (Todd Bentley, Angelic Hosts.)
The gifts of the Holy Spirit do not
operate in this way. Nor do we get the gifts
from angels.
Now let’s listen to the interview by Patricia
King on “Extreme Prophetic” interview:
“Todd, I remember years ago, you
gave me a phone call and you said, ‘Hey,
I‘ve just been soaking with Bob Jones and
I‘ve gone up into the “third heaven.”’”
Bentley explains: “The first time I met
Bob was actually in Grants Pass, Oregon.
We were sitting in a restaurant and I was
really hungry. I knew Bob was a real seer
prophet. I thought, ‘Lord I’m going to get
an impartation.’ I‘ve been having all these
encounters and all these visions and experiences
already soaking, but I thought,
‘Lord I need to talk to somebody that’s
been walking in this – that‘s really a senior
prophet.’ So when I met Bob I thought,
‘Lord, I’m going to get an impartation.’
And I remember talking with Bob in a restaurant
about going into the heavens, and
what it was, and we were talking about the
‘third heaven,’ going into the immediate
abode, into that place, the dwelling place
of God. And I thought, ‘That’s awesome!’
I was hungry for it too; I wanted more!
‘Cause up until that point, sovereignly,
God was just visiting me. And I was just
waiting in His presence, and sovereignly,
God was visiting me. And Bob said to me,
he said, ‘We can go right now!’ And I said,
‘What do you mean, we can go right now!
We can make the decision right now and
enter into that realm of the spirit’ And he
said, ‘Sure we can! Don‘t you have faith,
boy!’”
So Bob Jones is a senior prophet to
Bentley who sought an impartation by
him. Big mistake. It was God who brought
John and Paul to Heaven. We cannot initiate
this on our own. Bentley now teaches
that people can visit Heaven any time they
want. This is utterly false. The Bible teaches
that only the apostles were communicated
a revelation of Heaven, not regular
Christians. It was because they were the
ones commissioned to teach the churches
and write the Scriptures for us.
The interview continues:
King: “Well, I remember when you
[Bentley] were telling me about it, I got
so hungry for it. And right after that, Bob
was coming to a conference that we were
having…I was going to just ask him all
kinds of questions about this third heaven.
I didn‘t know, because I wanted to know.
I wanted to experience God in a new way,
and I think we all do; we‘re all so hungry
for Him, right But I hadn‘t caught yet,
because you had told me about the experience
but not the faith dimension, so I was
just still thinking, ‘Sovereignty.’ God’s
sovereignly going to move, take me out,
well, whatever. So I‘m asking Bob questions,
and Bob, you said, ‘Well, I do my
raptures every day!’ I said, ‘What do you
mean, your raptures every day’ He said,
‘I go up every day!’ And I said, ‘You go
up EVERY DAY! I‘d love to go up every
day!’ And he said, ‘Well, it’s by faith.’”
Does a person’s FAITH make something
like this happen The faith dimension
Where’s that in Scripture Jones goes
to heaven every day, and he teaches others
this! Someone who says this may not
go there at all unless they repent. This is
blasphemous. Where did the apostles teach
any of this They didn’t, but the Latter
Rain proponents can because they are doing
even greater miracles than the apostles!
Impartations are unbiblical, especially
seeking one. One cannot pass the Holy Spirit
to another; He is God, and He is sovereign.
Grants Pass comes up again. Todd
Bentley’s angels are the same ones that appeared
to Branham, to John G. Lake ( he
endorses the healing rooms), and others.
”I first saw the angel called ‘Healing
Revival’ on December 5 of 2000 in
Grant’s Pass. The angel came to me again
in Albany the next February. He stood in
the church service with his body going
through the ceiling of the church. Then
the Lord told me the angel’s name and that
he was the same angel I saw in Grant’s
Pass earlier. God also revealed to me that
this angel was involved in the ministry of
John Lake, William Branham, and John
Knox in Scotland. This angel, the Lord
said, is from the North West Healing Revival
and is manifesting again as a sign
that God is restoring the Voice of Healing
revival and opening up the ancient wells.
“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 color of their vehicle and the state
they are from. I believe the angel showed
up in Albany as a sign that God was endorsing
what was taking place and that
it was opening up a healing well. Everywhere
I have seen this angel the miracles
continue after I leave and a healing well
is established in that church and in that
city. When that angel visits, we have another
John 5 Pool of Bethesda experience
as God releases His approval.”(ANGELIC
HOSTS Revivalist Todd Bentley)
Apart from questioning the validity of
what God told him, if this is the same angel
Point of Interest – Continued
involved in John Lake’s ministry (I have
never read of him referring to an angel) or
William Branham’s, then we must go to the
Scriptures and see if there were angels involved
in the healing ministry of the apostles.
The answer is no, there were not. So
then we have a biblical problem of determining
from what source this angel came.
Bentley besmirches John Knox’s name
by including him with these men and this
angel. As far as the angel in William Branham’s
ministry is concerned, if this is so
then we now have validated a demonic
connection from none other than Bentley
Himself. For Branham denied essential tenets
of the faith because of his angel’s influence.
Furthermore, Branham believed this
to be the Angel of the Lord that appeared to
Moses (same as Paul Cain believed). Now
we have the biblical problems escalating
because Jesus was the Angel of the Lord
in the Old Testament, and once He became
a man, the Angel of the Lord no longer
appears. Why Because He is no longer
coming as a messenger – He became man.
Bentley seems to have angels follow
him and speak to him nearly everywhere
he goes. “Recently, I had an angel come
to me in Kansas City. He said, ‘Todd,
my name is Promise, and I‘ve come to
bring the fulfillment of God‘s promises.’”
I thought believers were given the Holy
Spirit for this. Experiences described by
Bentley brought on by an angel are unbiblical,
and there are so many that it may be beyond
all the miracles in the Bible put together.
”In three occasions over the past
couple of years I’ve had a visitation from
the Lord in which I’ve seen the angel of
finance. Every time this happens (in our
meetings) there is an incredible financial
breakthrough; something is opened
up in Heaven. It invades the earth, and
people respond by giving generously.

Bentley sees the angel that is going to
visit the children, and he’s seen this angel
only two other times: (http://video.aol.com/

I’m concerned that the angel that Todd
has been encountering is let loose to the
children, and they, too, are overtaken by
the same influence.
”I’m asking God to release the seer
anointing to you as you read this article
so that you can even see the angelic hosts.
Today I want to focus the teaching on the
angelic realm and how you can release angels
to fulfill God’s word. Recently, I had
several daily visitations of angels which
lasted for weeks. Since the beginning of
this year I’ve also sensed an increase in the
presence of angels in our meetings.” (Todd
