Watch and pray

Hello,

I've been wanting to post this for a little while now as I believe it relates to the book of J.Edwards 'the experience that counts'...




I recently came across Todd Bentley's name and as I never heard of him before I just googled it as a friend of mine watches him on God Channel and recently attended the Sussex Outpouring convention/meeting. Glad that my friend wasn't too sure about how things were expressed there.
Watching the video(s) made me feel sickened and grieved about how many people long for certain 'holy/anointed' experiences and how many are either ignorantly or purposefully deceived.
We too were once part of this, the word of faith movement also called the health, wealth and prosperity gospel. God is merciful by taking us out of this belief system.
In Chapter 11 on page 108 it mentions that false emotions are satisfied in themselves, the hypocrite has a self-centred reason and how the hypocrite can imitate, unfortunately there are may real believers caught up in this without realising the true from false due to lack of teaching and guidance, as we once were.
A true christian always longs for a holier heart and life. Unfortunately many can think that' this is it', 'it can't get any better'. May we continue to pray for those led astray that they may come to understand who God really is.

Blessings, Cynthia
