False Signs and Lying Wonders: The Revival of the 3rd Wave
From: The Threshing Floor:“False Signs and Lying Wonders: The ‘Revival of the 3rd Wave”-Randy Maugans.
Todd Bentley, the ex-con signs and wonders whiz kid, promoted by the Elijah List, has spearheaded a movement of charismatic healing and miracles which is now bursting out of Lakeland, Florida. But…there are problems! We examine the unscriptural manifestations and survey the cast of characters—straight out of the old wineskin of the Kansas city prophet movement. The real agenda may be more mundane: money, fame, and power. Caveat Emptor!

quote…
Bob Jones has recently prophesied concerning the outpouring that began in Lakeland, Florida with Todd Bentley and the worldwide effects that are only just starting to be seen. God spoke to Bob on New Year’s Eve for 2008 about the “third wave” which was coming. Bob shared that the first wave was in Toronto and the second was in Pensacola, but the third wave was to be the “Winds of Change” which would continue growing with global impact. Without a doubt, that third wave is now here and the “Winds of Change” are blowing throughout the earth! This move of God is one that will not be stopped – it will not end!
During a time of crying out to God concerning this season, Bob was shown a vision of the glory of the Lord coming on a wave from June 22nd through July 22nd. The wave has been swelling up early in Lakeland, Florida; but Bob believes that the Lord will release an even greater measure of His glory in this approaching season. The Kingdom Uprising Conference, June 25th-28th, is going to be a strategic gathering as that major wave hits the earth!
We have been witnessing great and astonishing miracles, healings, signs and wonders; here in Knoxville, TN and especially in the Florida Outpouring with Todd Bentley. However, this is still only the swell which rises before the wave breaks and crests over the face of the deep. Bob Jones feels that this wave will only increase in the days ahead! We are setting our sails to catch the “Winds of Change” and ride the wave which is already beginning to touch Knoxville, TN! (more at link)
It would be so much better if Bob Jones and others were loudly proclaiming, “Repent and believe in the Gospel,” rather than, “Look! A wave is coming, so get ready to ride the wave!”
I’m still amazed at what I read concerning Todd Bentley, how people are so defensive about those who criticize him, when Scripture speaks differently of what he is doing and saying.
Why should Scripture get in the way of of Bentley’s message? People have always proposed something “new” as a way to show God’s outpouring.
Peter had something to say about these people in his second letter. The only outpouring I need is Jesus, and him crucified. I think they call it the Gospel. It is still good news.
