   The height of blind hubris, to blame God for all his fleshly hype and to call his preposterous ministry “anointing.” But of course, he was addicted to this brand of “anointing” because it had nothing to do with God and everything to do with Todd.

   They need to make haste to repent of their blasphemy.

   This goes along with the idiotic notion of being drunk in the Spirit. Nowhere in Scripture do we the Holy Spirit having negative effects on the believer.

   We are told to be filled with the Spirit, and we are given several examples of the apostles being filled over and over. But nowhere are we told to take a break from it.

   Being filled with the Spirit should be “addicting” to those Christians who desire the strength and ability to serve God, grow in holiness, confirm the faith, etc.

   Benny Hinn and others have really taken the anointing, which all born-again Christians have, and distorted it into meaning the “power of god”, which can be lost, increased, imparted to others, specialized, etc. Hinn even claims the “anointing” still resides over the dead and rotting body of Kathryn Kuhlman.

   Good, sober, biblical thoughts, AR.

   Hinn even claims the “anointing” still resides over the dead and rotting body of Kathryn Kuhlman.

   The strong mystical members of my former A/G started up the Healing Rooms ministry at the church in 2000 or 2001. The pastor pushed it through a reluctant, but complicit board (on which I sat at the time too). This international ministry was started in 1999 by Cal Pierce (who also appeared on stage at Lakeland when Bentley was there). Three of our women who were to run it had gone to Spokane from here in NJ to be introduced to the ministry where the late John G. Lake had ministered.

   In the above link, you will read these words, “On February 28, 1999 I started a 40 day fast. I went to Lake’s grave site to pray when I heard God say, ‘There is a time to pray, and a time to move.’ There was no doubt that God wanted us to re-dig the generational wells of healing in Spokane.” In his book, Cal Pierce (not to be confused with Chuck Pierce of the NAR), says he begged God to have the anointing in Lake’s bones come up into him so that he could walk in the power that Lake did and see the miracles he saw. Cal Pierce is also associated with the NAR too, as he told me on the phone on October 16, 2005. He called me on the 19th because our pastor had called him telling him I wanted to talk to him and I took the opportunity to challenge him on some of these things, such as laying on graves; as well as to confront him on the recent Healing Rooms 13 state Regional conference because our church had hosted it another building, belonging to a local Oneness Pentecostal church, no less. I asked him if he had given any money to the Oneness church. He said, not to his knowledge. I wonder if he knew why I asked him that. He had no problem with the Oneness facility, as a matter of fact he led a group prayer and laying-on-of-hands for the Oneness senior pastor. It was all part of the mess that forced me to leave that church on October 21, 2005.

   When the women went out there, they all took a tour of the Lake gravesite and they took turns laying on the grave of Lake just as Cal Pierce did. I did not find out this little gem of information until a close relative of one of the women told me in confidence back in 2005 while I was still there at the church. It had remained a secret, naturally. It would not have gone over well with the board in 2001 if we had known.

   I did some calling to Spokane and found out rather accidentally who was largely responsible for this outrageous teaching among them: Rheinhard Bonnke. There was a late ’80s tape of his circulating around Spokane among some principal John G. Lake revivalists. On the tape, Bonnke taught that the bones of Joseph had more anointing in them than in the entire living nation of Israel who left Egypt. How’s that for exegesis?!

   Of course Hinn had been visiting the mausoleums of Kuhlman and Aimee McPherson to get his juice. How do people who claim the Lord put up with such fatal nonsense? Well, actually, I have one answer. It is very popular among Catholics. They have swelled the numbers of Charismatics and they plopped down all their baggage in our midst with nary a whimper from the mighty, anointed leadership.

   If they are feeling “power” from anything other than their own fleshly mental delusion, it can’t be anything but DEMONIC!

   The stuff they are doing so closely relates to facets of demonology, God is not mocked. They can’t do that mess and try putting His name on the front of it and feel what they’re getting is really coming from the Father through Jesus Christ via the Holy Spirit. If they’re getting anything other than an endorphin rush, it’s demonic. And even their addiction to heightened endorphin levels is fleshly indulgence, unbiblical and ungodly.

   These nuts are proving they are very much under the council of demons. It all has the markings of the one disguised as an angel of light and his workers, 2 Corinthians 11:14.
