Thread: Timely Word from Todd Bentley

The commentary and harsh judgements and condemnations would be akin to someone who never repented, hasn't been through restoration, and has never held himself accountable to anyone.

It's really just bizarre, imo.

If YOU DON'T WALK THE ROAD OF RIGHTEOUSNESS.

How, just how, do you know he's not??? How.

Who really knows, as I said, there is wiggle room there, one could read that either way (Prophet or not?), clarity is not the job of the hearer but clarity is one mark of the prophetic word.



>then how would YOU feel?

Really?? Feelings, emotions are not in play when it comes to ministerial credentials.

John, I move in the prophetic. I pray prophetically, minister to people by Holy Spirit giving me insight, words of knowledge and wisdom and I give prophetic words and am on one side or the other of tongues and interpretation.

I MINISTER prophetically. Am I a Prophet? No. I move in the prophetic. It seems you aren't willing to see the difference in the two.

How would you FEEL if people held your sin from 7-8 yrs ago against you and said you could no longer minister in your gifts and callings even though you'd done everything you'd been asked to do, submitting to your authorities and walking in humility and accountability. Would you truly believe you "deserved" to sit in the pews the rest of your life?

AJ, are you ok with this continuing on or would you like me to split the thread and remove the off topic posts?

Have you seen what he wrote above his avatar, he's got that covered for future reference. ;)

With your permission, Krys, I'll just lock it tonight.

I think everyone's had their say. If anyone wants to say anything else, they can start their own thread.

Colossians 3 Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. 2 Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. 3 For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God. 4 When Christ, who is your[a] life, appears, then you also will appear with him in glory.

5 Put to death, therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires and greed, which is idolatry. 6 Because of these, the wrath of God is coming.[b] 7 You used to walk in these ways, in the life you once lived. 8 But now you must also rid yourselves of all such things as these: anger, rage, malice, slander, and filthy language from your lips. 9 Do not lie to each other, since you have taken off your old self with its practices 10 and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge in the image of its Creator. 11 Here there is no Gentile or Jew, circumcised or uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave or free, but Christ is all, and is in all.

12 Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. 13 Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. 14 And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity.

15 Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful. 16 Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom through psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit, singing to God with gratitude in your hearts. 17 And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.

G'nite all.
