Todd Bentley’s Vision of the Angel of Finance
“Not only does God have many
angels on assignment, but there
is an angelic realm in heaven devoted to finances. (This is utterly heretical, and is found
no where in scripture) Why? It’s because God oversees the
wealth of this world and He has certain proven (Financial) strategies in place. (Bentley here is referring to the prosperity Gospel) After all, it’s His wealth, (Contrary to the words of Christ and the
Apostles Mammon is called corrupt, deceitful, and is declared to belong to satan the god of this world. Further wealth was part of the what the devil tempted Christ with in the wilderness) no
matter whose hands it’s in. (This is
part the prosperity gospel where believers are supposedly to become spoilers of
this world, and the god of this world to enrich themselves.) His
angels are on assignment to watch over your finances, to gather money, to
gather investments, to bring favor, and to bring power in your life so that you
can have favor and wealth. (This is
a new leaf
where angels are now gather and bring corrupt mammon and other riches of this
world to believers – making out the Holy angels of God unholy) He
wants to provide for you! One of His names is Jehovah Jireh, which means God our provider. (All of which has been written over and
over by prosperity gospel teachers)
In this regard, on 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. (This is Bentley’s heresy) Every time this happens (in our
meetings) there is an incredible financial breakthrough—something is opened up
in heaven, it invades the earth, and (greed filled, carnal) people respond by giving generously. (Which Bentley and his partners all too
happily receive) And afterward many testimonies come in to Fresh
Fire reporting the abundant blessings that people have received in return!
So let’s look at what happened in a meeting when I went into a trance-like state (In prophet speak Bentley here is trying to say he went into the high
prophetic state recorded in the bible that Abraham and Daniel and John entered
when they were given great revelations) – and I
saw, for the third time over the course of a few years, the angel of finance.
In that trance I experienced one of heaven’s realities and then that experience
became a reality here on earth. (Here
Bentley claims he opened or unlocked something in heaven.)
Here’s what happened. At first I saw heaven open, and as I ascended a ladder
into the heavens I saw full vibrant wings and feathers! These feathers were
white and as real as they would be in the natural realm; that’s how vivid it
was. Then I noticed wings that moved and there was an arm under one wing and
another arm under another wing! As the wings lifted I saw every precious gem you could think of under those wings; (Nowhere said or implied in scripture) and
then I saw the angel standing, having a body like a man with six wings. I knew it was the angel of finance. (We will state that if indeed Bentley
saw anything here is was satan the god of this world)
Mark 4:18-19 And these are they which
are sown among thorns; such as hear the word, And the cares of this world, and
the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke
the word, and it becometh unfruitful. (Through the deceitfulness of riches and the lust for the
things of this world – Christians are rendered fruitless – As Esau they despise
their holy calling and trade their birthright for a bowl of lentils, which
brings upon then the contempt of God)
Mark 10:23 And
Jesus looked round about, and saith unto his disciples, How hardly shall they
that have riches enter into the
Next, I
saw a door called “treasure” and the door was open. (God’s treasures in the heavens are not
the carnal and corruptible riches of this world – to suggest so is to suggest
God can be corrupted) Without thinking or considering what
to do, I found myself in a treasure room in heaven. The only item in this room was gold coins, and (Acting as a thief and robber) I
began stuffing those coins into my pockets until they were falling out. Then,
after filling up another pocket, I opened my trousers and started filling my
trousers with gold coins. After that, I stuffed them into my suit jacket. I
even opened my shirt and started stuffing gold coins down my shirt!
Still in the trance, I asked the Lord, “What am I doing?” “You’re (Looting) getting
the offering!” He said. Now we weren’t receiving the offering
yet in the meeting, but God said that I was getting (Helping myself to) the offering! Now, we don’t usually,
if ever, see it that way, yet God was saying this because the offering, the
money, is in heaven. After I heard that answer, I made a
conscious decision (in this experience) to get even more gold. Now I was
collecting more, stuffing as much as possible anywhere I could fit it, even my
ears! (So now Bentley turbo loads himself with ill gotten offerings)
That encounter with the angel of
finance, and then the treasure room, is an excellent example of heaven’s
realities. (Not at
all, except to thorny believers) And before I share how that reality manifested
on earth—in other words, how the offering that was “taken” in heaven manifested
on earth in the meeting, you need to know something unique that my associates
make a practice of doing.
If an anointed point is made by a
minister of the gospel and an associate wants that particular point activated
in their life, they will immediately sow into it. By that I mean, they will run up to the pulpit or the
altar—“I want that”—and sow
into the anointing in that moment of (Sensual and earthly) glory,
by placing an offering there. (At my
feet) Bam! Just whatever is said, they sow into it. (They are taken by their own lusts and given up and over to them by
God) Of course they can’t buy the
anointing, but on the other hand they can sow into it.”
Acts
8:18-20 And when Simon saw that through laying on of
the apostles' hands the Holy Ghost was given, he offered them
money, Saying, Give me also this power, that on whomsoever I lay hands, he
may receive the Holy Ghost. But Peter said unto him, Thy money perish with thee, because thou hast thought that the gift of
God may be purchased with money.
1 Timothy 6:5, 7-9 -- (There
are those) destitute of the truth supposing that (Financial) gain is godliness: from such withdraw
thyself. For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry
nothing out. And having food and raiment let us be therewith
content. (Paul is citing the words and
commandments of Christ here) But they that will be rich fall into
temptation and a snare, and into many (Other) foolish
and hurtful lusts, which drown men (Christ in
the parable of the sower said choke unto) in destruction and perdition
(Eternal destruction and hell)
Todd Bentley and his fellow apostles and prophets are such
men. Their words and doctrine contain the poison of asps that go deep in men’s
souls and bring forth eternal death in them.
