True (local) story about Todd Bentley. I followed some of his antics at the time of the so-called "Lakewood revival". I was hoping it was the real deal, but it began to feel like he was really mocking Christians. He was scheduled to come to Spokane in a few weeks, and I prayed that if he wasn't genuine that he not come. The very next day it came out that he was cheating on his wife, I think. At any rate, he was disgraced and the Spokane appearance was cancelled. Thank God!
I do wish more could have happened on that subject. At the time I was closely connected with a source who was telling me some of the information that was being exposed to the tribunal Dr. Brown was running. Much of the crazy stuff that has been exposed about Bickle/IHOP was very similar to the Todd Bentley issues. This is one of the reasons I refuse to trust Dr. Brown and I consider it wisdom that he was kept out of the IHOP explosion.
Spokane has enough issues with Christian leadership, it does not need more Witchcraft issues embedded into the mix. Years ago before I moved to MorningStar I was ministering in the Newport area. A couple of Apostolic leaders kept trying to get me connected to the Healing rooms. I respect the leadership that was there at the time, but they seemed to be blindsided by some of the witches that were present, influencing how things ran. So I chose to just stay away and not return after attending a few times.
I have been in revival and it's not something you can plan. The best a church or congregation can do is be willing to move with the Holy Spirit. When He moves you will know it.
