FULL OF FAITH AND POWER Part 1
by Evangelist Todd Bentley [as edited by Kathy Thorne]
I didn’t just wake up one day full of faith! As a matter of fact when I first got saved I was a real work in progress. I had just come out of a rough background of addiction and drug overdoses, full of fear. There were people in my town so mad at me I knew if I walked out at night there would be someone, somewhere, who would jump out of the dark to get me! But God wasn’t going to leave me in that predicament and He truly took away my fear after one amazing supernatural feat.
Here’s what happened. I was being discipled by a young Christian guy and he was telling me that Jesus would protect me. You see, I wasn’t sleeping at night because I was so scared and paranoid. I wouldn’t allow myself to nod off until about five in the morning because I had to make sure I’d actually survived the night! I had knives and a baseball bat close by under my bed because there were death threats on my life from people who really did want to hurt me and kill me.
So I said to my friend who was counseling me: “If we go outside right now and walk down there, what’s going to happen if someone jumps out of the bush at me wielding a knife because they want to do me in? How is God going to appear and do anything about it?
Well, guess what happened that night? As I was walking along with my friend, sure enough, out jumped this guy, right out the bush, lunging at me with his knife. But get this! Instead of coming within reach of me, he hit an invisible force-field—he bounced off it about two or three feet from where I was standing. A huge angel appeared in front of me.
That experience broke off my fear and, as some would say, “I’ve never looked back.” Today I am bold. Yet the kind of boldness I am talking about isn’t all about a personality trait. We’ve all seen that raw, edgy bravado on certain people because of a rough life or other circumstances. That’s not the kind of boldness I’m talking about. Rather it’s a supernatural God-given boldness.
The apostles in Jesus’ day needed that kind of boldness and they received it. So let’s take a look at how they obtained supernatural boldness to continue the mighty works of God in the face of hatred and restrictions from the ultra-religious.
THE SECRET TO REAL FAITH
In the Book of Acts Chapter Three we read how the apostles were displaying God’s power and then in Chapter Four how resistance and persecution broke out against them. They were forbidden to speak, to preach, or to teach in the name of Jesus. So they went to the Lord in prayer: “Now, Lord, look on their threats, and grant to Your servants that with all boldness they may speak Your word, by stretching out Your hand to heal, and that signs and wonders may be done through the name of Your holy Servant Jesus” (Acts 4: 29–31).
Although they were already moving in signs and wonders, the disciples realized that they needed something that only God could give by His Spirit. In other words, “God, we need something that’s missing. Give us boldness!”
Now what happened next is absolutely remarkable: “And when they had prayed, the place where they were assembled together was shaken; and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and they spoke the word of God with boldness” (v. 31).
When the Holy Spirit came upon the apostles a supernatural anointing of boldness came on them when they spoke the word of God. Friends, this is what we need in the church today! I’m talking about a supernatural anointing that you didn’t have that comes on you, no matter what your personality type is. You get filled with the Spirit and you have a boldness you never had before. It’s not about mustering up something that’s not real or trying to be someone that you’re not.
After they received supernatural boldness, “with great power the apostles gave witness to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus. And great grace was upon them all” (4:33). GREAT power and GREAT grace! Their faith was overflowing with GREAT substance (Heb. 11:1). Listen! The secret to real faith is: knowing that faith does not ultimately work to the max without boldness. Think about that. When boldness connects with faith, God’s miracles happen!
For example, we’ve seen some timid people on our missions trips pray for the sick and BOOM, when their first miracle happens there’s no stopping them. They just want to keep praying and as miracle after miracle happens, their faith and boldness grows big time. It’s hard to get them out of the crusade and onto the bus!
Miracles make people bold. But first they have to get out of the boat, and that in itself takes a bold step of faith. But each step is God’s training ground in the gift of faith.
Supernatural Boldness, Obedience, and Faith brings God’s Power
Truly, we need to be full of faith and boldness. Therefore I’m going to share six radical acts of obedience that brought amazing results because of these two attributes. But in sharing these testimonies I must give a warning. You know how sometimes on television someone will perform an incredible feat and then the commentator will say: “Now for those of you watching this stunt . . . this is done by trained professionals. Do not attempt to do this at home!” I say this because the acts the Holy Spirit directed me to do would have actually injured people if I had just decided to take action on my own because I thought it was a great idea. So when you read these testimonies bear this in mind. Here we go!
- At our crusade in Ethiopia several years ago sheer boldness came upon me when a totally demon possessed man came up onto the platform with a knife in his hand raring to stab me to death! The gift of boldness hit me and I ran up to the guy, went BAM with my belly, and knocked him to the ground. Then I jumped on top of him doing the “Matt Hughes!” [Hughes is a professional martial arts fighter and former UFC Welterweight Champion known for his extreme strength and “ground and pound”—Wikipedia, the free internet encyclopedia].
He manifested a demon and was yelling at me in a demonic voice so I just yelled back at him in tongues. Simultaneously the power of God intensified and my Dad and I pinned him down. Then we cast the demons out.
Now I’d never gotten violent like that with anyone before in a crusade. Yet, I was then, and am now, ever-ready to stand unflinchingly against the enemy. And it’s all because I saw God’s power manifested years earlier when that guy jumped out of the bushes at me. That initial feat and God’s continual support has marked me, causing me to be unafraid and bold.
Do you know what makes a person bold? It’s what they’ve seen—God’s power manifested. It makes them bold, it makes them strong. - I’ve been led to do some crazy looking things in the gift of faith that took real boldness. One time I was in a meeting that was just dead. So I asked God how He wanted to bring a breakthrough. He showed me an older lady right in front of the platform worshipping Jesus and the Lord said to kick her in the face! Unconvinced, I felt to tell the Lord what He already knew: “I have these big biker boots on. You want me to kick this woman in the face?” Clearly I heard God say, “Yes.” So, with no one knowing what was about to happen, I went up to the edge of the platform and BAM my boot went right out at the exact moment that she fell under the power of God. In fact the power of God caused everyone on the platform to get knocked down. There were miracles that followed.
So I asked God, “What was that all about?” The answer was: obedience. - I was in another meeting (in North America) and a man came up for prayer because his heart was enlarged four times its normal size. He had just come from his doctor with the news that the swelling was out of control and basically he could just go home to die. I had such compassion for him. He was young and he had a family. What could I do? So I enquired of the Lord and He said to punch him in the heart as hard as I could!
As I was just about to wind up and hit him, the Lord said: “Real hard.” So I took my hand and went BAM, right into the guy’s heart. He hit the ground and got up, convinced that his heart was supernaturally healed! - In those same meetings a man came forward for prayer who was missing one of his lungs. The Lord told me to drill him as hard as I could into the lungs! I did, and his lung grew back. (I have the doctor’s report and the x ray.)
- We had a meeting in a word-faith church; not much was happening. Everyone was wearing a suit and the appearance was ‘real proper.’ I looked around thinking: God, you promised me revival. Immediately I heard God say: “‘Leg-drop’ the pastor.” That’s what He said to me! Meanwhile the pastor was lying on the ground. Then the Lord told me to leap off the platform and just jump in the air and leg-drop him. God, you’ve got to be kidding, I thought. He said, “No! Make it real. I want this to be a real leg-drop.” So I ran along the platform jumping in the air and BAM, I leg-dropped this pastor. All of a sudden, row after row of people fell under the power. People ended up rolling around on the floor in holy laughter, drunk in the spirit.
Later when I was sitting in the green room the pastor came in all serious and he said: “Did you leg-drop me?” I said, “Yeah,” and then he said, “That was the greatest thing ever! I didn’t feel a thing!”
[By the way, the Wikipedia definition of leg drop is: The wrestler spins 360° while they jump and land their leg across an opponent’s chest, throat, face, or head.] - Another time we were in a meeting in Africa. I was standing in faith exerting my authority, feeling led to pray only for those who were crippled. But after praying for about two hours and not seeing one crippled person healed, I was thinking, God, I need a breakthrough, nothing is happening! That’s when God said: “That’s because you didn’t take that young girl’s crippled legs and bang them up and down on the platform like baseball bats!” So I said, “What!?” Then He told me to go over to a certain young crippled girl who was paralyzed from the waist down. “Grab her legs and start hammering them up and down on the platform like baseball bats.”
What could I do but obey. Instantly God’s power came. She was healed and then more crippled people started getting healed one after another! All it took was getting one breakthrough to crack things wide open.
YOU’RE GOD’S MAN, YOU’RE GOD’S WOMAN!
Friends, these testimonies are meant to stir up your faith. All it takes is one sold-out ordinary man or woman wanting to be filled with supernatural boldness, full of faith and power, walking in obedience, to make a difference for God in this world. Just look at the apostle Stephen. He was an ordinary man with an extra-ordinary love for God.
“Therefore, brethren, seek out from among you seven men of good reputation, full of the Holy Spirit and wisdom, whom we may appoint over this business . . . And they chose Stephen, a man full of faith and the Holy Spirit . . . and Stephen, full of faith and power, did great wonders and signs among the people” (Acts 6:3, 5, 8).
Stephen was full of faith and power. I want to challenge some of you. Listen. I’m a “poster child” for God’s grace! If God can transform someone like me and then work through me for His glory like He did for Stephen, He can do the same for you. Do you want to go full out for God? Or would you rather do your own thing? In simple terms, really, it comes down to this.
Church!! God wants way more for you than you just hiding out in your comfort zone. The question is: Do you want all that God has for you? Do you really want to be full of faith and power?
Ponder these questions while you prepare your heart for next week’s lesson. For some of you this is a real turning point in your Christian life. Next week I want to share a few more amazing testimonies that are sure to both challenge and inspire you! One involves going to a leper colony in Africa and another testimony involves raising the dead, (and more).
For those of you who would like to study this subject matter further I want to recommend two excellent resources [Audio CD sets]: Firstly, The Function of Miracles, which covers how to flow in the gift of healing and miracles, the breaker anointing, the corporate and individual anointing, as well as the four levels of healing. Secondly, The Fullness of God, which contains teaching on throne room encounters, life in the Spirit, and what it takes to walk in God’s fullness, as well as teaching about baptisms of power. You will be greatly blessed by these teachings.
In this final segment of Full of Faith and Power Todd shares several more outrageous testimonies that fully illustrate Jesus’ instructions to: “Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, and cast out demons.” Each amazing account testifies of God’s mighty power to not only break through but to break off and totally shatter the enemy’s grip. Consequently your faith will be strengthened, energized and released to truly believe that it’s God’s desire to fill you full of faith and power so that you can help the lost find salvation in Christ. Get ready to see God’s goodness and glory!
FULL OF FAITH AND POWER Part 2: Conclusion
by Evangelist Todd Bentley [as edited by Kathy Thorne]
The Holy Spirit told me to teach on what it takes to be full of faith and power for a reason. Please mark these words: THERE IS ANOTHER WAVE OF GOD’S MIRACULOUS POWER THAT IS ABOUT TO HIT THE CHURCH!
PREPARE FOR THE WAVE!
Any surfer will tell you that learning to catch a wave and then to successfully ride it takes determination, training, guts and preparation. After all, riding the waves like a pro doesn’t just happen the first time a surfer paddles out to sea!
Likewise, before another wave of God’s miraculous power hits the church, we believers will need that same grit—determination, training, guts and preparation—if we’re going to flow with God’s upsurge of power. That’s one of the main reasons why the Holy Spirit told me to teach about what it takes to be full of faith and power.
Listen. Doors and hearts are opening wide for the Gospel and God wants to send forth EQUIPPED laborers, like a well trained army, into the harvest fields. Hardy, seasoned, believers will successfully advance into and reap the harvest, and there is no time to waste.
Therefore today my goal in this week’s teaching is to more than simply whet your appetite for “a little something.” My purpose and hope is to stir up such a hot fire in you that you’ll be exploding with passion for what God is passionate about. For some of you it’s time for a blazing inferno to be ignited within you for all that God wants for you—being full of faith and power! Yes friends, IT IS TIME!
So here we go! First let me tell you that faith comes by hearing. Next you need to know that faith is required for us to get going. These two aspects of faith really go hand in hand. Now I’m going to share a few more radical testimonies to illustrate what I’m saying.
FAITH COMES BY HEARING
“… TEN SICK PEOPLE ARE GOING TO BE INSTANTLY HEALED!”
Several years ago when we were overseas holding a crusade I learned afresh that “faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God” (Rom. 10:17).
The crowd at the crusade was swelling . . . thousands and thousands, mostly Muslim. Naturally there was no corporate faith. The atmosphere was heavy but not with the heavy weight of God’s presence, when suddenly I heard God’s voice. He told me to have ten sick people chosen to come forward. Then He said: “Let the crowd know that ten people are going to be instantly healed!” [Since both time and space are at a premium in this teaching I’ll only share about the first three people who were healed.]
The first person was a totally blind woman and the very instant I laid hands on her she was healed. The second person was deaf and mute and the instant I laid hands on her she received deliverance from a deaf and dumb spirit and she could hear immediately. The third person was woman with polio who had a totally withered arm. When I laid hands on her, her arm kind of unfolded like a flower and opened up and she too, was instantly healed.
Then the other seven people received their healings and we had revival! But it did not happen until those miracles broke out after I heard the word of the Lord, and they didn’t manifest until the gift of faith came—faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God. That gift was the key that opened up a breaker anointing. As hard as the spiritual atmosphere in that region was, it was no match for God’s powerful breaker anointing for miracles.
At another crusade, in Africa, we were experiencing real spiritual warfare that successfully lessened the numbers of people coming. I asked the Lord for a key to bring a breakthrough. We were hoping many thousands would come. Right away I heard the Lord say, “Creative miracles tonight.”
Now I was thinking the miracles would be more like, for example, limbs growing, and consequently I wasn’t quite prepared for the outrageous miracle that happened that night. [And just now, in 2007, we learned that this miracle of years ago totally influenced many inmates in a maximum security prison in Uganda! So much so that this year I was able to enter the prison. All the glory goes to God because major salvations happened.]
Back to that notable miracle. A prominent business women who had her left breast surgically removed due to cancer came screaming up onto the platform saying she had a new breast! Wow! It sure was a different miracle than what I was expecting, and to top it off, she actually showed everyone her miracle!
Now get this! God had another surprise in store for us. Understandably, after that great creative miracle, the next night the crowd was even bigger. I learned that scores of witchdoctors had shown up—“We’ve got to see a white man who makes breasts grow!”—because in the marketplace they heard about the new breast miracle. (Of course it was God who did that miracle, but they didn’t know.)
This time I was prepared because I heard clearly from the Lord—remember faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of the Lord—“Confront the witchdoctors. Tell them the power of Jesus Christ is greater and that you are going to prove it.” So I called them all forward and about 1,800 came to the altar. “You are going to have an encounter with Jesus Christ,” I told them, “and when you do you will know that His power is greater than yours.”
Next, while the rain poured, the wind blew, and the mud got thicker, I prayed. Hundreds of bodies fell to the ground and those occult practitioners started to writhe like snakes. Women were rolling around in mud puddles, some levitating off the ground. My father was with us and he said it looked like eighteen hundred people were manifesting demons at the same time. Not sure what to do next, the host’s ushers started kind of throwing them up on the stage. Women were biting my ankles . . . I have this on video! Then all of a sudden one of the witch doctors started screaming, “I need Jesus.” He got born again, and then I asked if there were others who also wanted Jesus. I don’t have an exact number who received the Lord, but we saw almost all of them say they wanted to be saved! Praise God!
In total, do you know how many made decisions for Jesus Christ? We estimated around 30,000 people. Because one woman received a creative miracle all the witchdoctors came and God responded!
Now let’s take a look at the faith that gets us going.
“GO YE” FAITH
In simple terms, this kind of faith happens when you know who you are in Christ and you know you can do what God says you can do. You believe it (who you are in Christ), act like it, and step out in faith that God will do what He said He would do. It is just raw faith.
Empowered with strength and authority—exousia [Greek word meaning: strength and authority, or right to use that power]—you just go and believe the Bible like it says in Matthew 10:1 and Mark 16:17, 18:
“He gave them power over unclean spirits . . . and to heal all kinds of sickness and all kinds of disease.”
“And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues . . . they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.”
I remember when God called me to the healing ministry before I had any anointing, before there was a gifting, and before there was a gift of faith. When I first stepped out all I had was “go ye” faith—“Let’s believe God in faith!” I just had a faith in the Word, that’s all. I didn’t know anything about angels or the word of knowledge, open visions, the supernatural, or the gift of faith. But I believed all the great stories in the Bible and I thought: God if you are the same today as you were before and will forever be, then anything is possible! (See Hebrews 13:8.)
So I started out as a faith healer in the traditional sense—the guy that got up, preached on healing and laid hands on anything that moved. And people wouldn’t get healed! Nonetheless, I was ministering out of who I was in Christ, knowing that I had authority, and I was operating out of what God said I can do. My attitude was: “I am going to believe the Word. I am going to put the principles of faith into action, step out and lay hands on the sick believing they will recover, and if they don’t I am just going to keep praying anyways!”
My whole focus was “go ye,” believing God’s word, and I would think: The Holy Spirit confirms God’s word, right? So if I get the word right, maybe some signs will follow. That’s how my healing ministry began even though there were hardly any results! However, during this time of testing, God was setting up a sequence of events that would not only give results but they would also launch me into one of my first supernatural encounters.
“WHO BELIEVES GOD FOR A MIRACLE?”
The Lord actually challenged me big time when I was preaching my heart out on radical faith during a meeting. Suddenly I felt compelled to ask the small crowd: “Who believes God for a miracle?”
That’s when a young 14 year old girl stepped forward and told me about her unbelieving dying grandfather who couldn’t talk, and who was totally paralyzed on one side of his body. She told me he was in a hospital in Pittsburg and asked me to pray for him. To be honest, she had more faith than I did.
Just as I was about to lay my hand on her and give a “courtesy prayer” all of a sudden the Lord appeared and asked me what I was doing! I confessed to Him that I didn’t really believe in my heart that anything would happen to her grandfather.
Next, the scene changed instantly and I was translated in the spirit right into the hospital where her grandfather was! I laid hands on him and prayed. Guess what happened? Later I learned that he called the home of this girl and she picked up the phone only to hear these words from her grandfather: “Praise Jesus! Praise Jesus! I was healed!” He had a personal encounter with the Lord Jesus Christ.
“HEAL THE SICK, CLEANSE THE LEPERS . . .”
With that same “go ye” faith, believing that God wants to confirm His word, I set off on an amazing adventure to Ghana.
The reason for our trip was uncomplicated. Though I didn’t have a word from heaven I just wanted to obey God’s word: “Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out demons. Freely you have received, freely give” (Matt. 10:8).
“Since there are hardly any people with leprosy here in North America,” I told God, “how am I going to see the lepers cleansed?” So I got on an airplane and flew all the way to Ghana, Africa with “go ye” exousia faith pounding in my heart.
Through our contacts, we made arrangements to visit a leper colony in a very remote area, even though people told me it would be quite dangerous to visit a leper colony because of possibly contracting the disease. However, my desire to practice my faith far outweighed their opinion. “My faith muscles need some growing,” I declared, “and how can I heal a person with leprosy if I don’t pray for them.”
In the end we prayed for every single person living in the leper colony. I didn’t see anyone immediately cleansed but remarkably we led every single person to Jesus Christ!
What’s more, another time while we were hosting a crusade in India, I learned there were many people with leprosy living there as complete outcasts. So I asked our host leaders if they could get a bus and bring some of them to the crusade, and they did. About fifty or sixty came. It was so sad to see young and old alike, some alone and others in families all horribly disfigured. I just wanted my team to minister to them!
We had to have a special section for them and it seemed like everyone was looking “over there.” I thought: God what do You want me to do? Instantly I heard, “Jump down off of the stage and go over there and start hugging them. Have your team touch them and hug them.”
So we obeyed the Lord; yet when we started to approach them, they all shrank back in fear because they had never felt human affection. When we touched their faces they would turn away in shame. We hugged and laid hands on every single person and we prayed for them to be healed.
[No one on the team got leprosy, and contrary to what most people believe about this disease, leprosy is not very easily transmitted. It is reported that health care personnel who are in contact with people with leprosy (sometimes long-term) dressing their wounds and generally attending them have not contracted the disease. Reports indicate that people who are in very close long-term contact could be at risk if they have an open wound (site) that comes in contact with the responsible bacteria or if they inhale or touch droplets expelled from the nose or mouth of an infected person. Research: The Merck Manuals, Online medical Library.]
So we need to believe what God says in the Bible and go!
“HEAL THE SICK . . . RAISE THE DEAD . . .”
The Bible also says to “raise the dead” (Matt. 10:8). Yet, I have learned through past experience that raising the dead differs from healing the sick. By that I mean, healing the sick is just “heal the sick” – it’s praying for everyone, all the time. But not necessarily so for raising the dead! God never promised all the dead would be raised. But the dead do get raised.
I learned this valuable lesson after an experience in Africa when a bishop asked me to come to the morgue and pray for the resurrection of his 14 year old son who had just drowned. The only thing was I never actually heard God say to go! Yet with good intentions I set off to the morgue with this grieving father. Now what greeted us inside the mortuary was really gruesome, like a horror movie. It sure wasn’t CSI!
As I prayed for the boy, suddenly I was attacked by a spirit of death. Afterwards it actually took my team a couple of hours to pray over me to loose its grip. And sadly, the lad was never resurrected. So I asked the Lord why I was attacked, and this is what He said: “I didn’t tell you to raise him from the dead.” Although I will still pray in faith for someone to be resurrected, I now realize that raising the dead “takes the voice of God.”
Even so, we do have a few wonderful testimonies of three babies in Africa who died in their mothers’ wombs that were resurrected and born!
Each mother was barren so she went to the local witchdoctor with an offering. And sure enough a pregnancy occurred, but after nine months, no birth. So she would visit the doctor, only to receive the sad news that her baby had died (in her womb) and that it would eventually “pass through.” However, instead, the mother would remain in that state, pregnant.
We’ve seen about twenty cases, and as unbelievable as it sounds, some of these women have actually carried a dead baby in their womb for years and years. I know it’s hard to wrap our North American minds around such information, but those twenty women were pregnant sometimes for three years, five years, and six years. One woman came forward to the platform totally pregnant for twelve years. That was the record!
On a different note, one other significant resurrection testimony happened this summer during a meeting we hosted. In that meeting I encouraged people to call anyone they knew who needed a healing miracle. So one woman did call a hospitalized friend who was acutely ill with electrolyte problems. But she called just as her friend was having a heart attack; her heart stopped! I got on the phone then and prayed with the person attending her, releasing faith and anointing for them to pray for the dying woman. As the prayers ascended the woman’s heart began to beat again, she came back to life, resurrected!
CLOSING
Now let’s bring these outstanding testimonies closer to home. It’s important that you take to heart that when you are full of the Holy Spirit, the gift of faith is within you, and what’s more, your boldness is the key to release that faith. Remember in Part One I said that the secret to real faith is: knowing that faith does not ultimately work to the max without boldness. In fact, if you and I are willing to risk it all, we will operate in full faith and power. Why? It’s because God wants us to! Conversely, until you and I can risk it all, we’ll fail to operate in full faith and power. Why? Because, as I shared at the beginning of this segment, there is another wave of God’s miraculous power that’s about to hit the church. If we’re only willing to operate minimally then we aren’t in the right position to flow with God’s coming upsurge of power.
My hope and prayer is that you will step out and just “do it” and not give up until something happens. Countless believers have done just that and can testify to God’s glory about what they have witnessed, just like I have in this teaching series. All because it’s about Jesus! He is our focus! Any miracle that God ever does is all for the glory of His Son, Jesus Christ! Let’s pray.
Yes, Lord Jesus, it’s all about You, for the glory of Your name! May Your name and Your fame spread far and wide!
God I just want to pray for everyone studying this teaching series who knows they need to be full of faith in this hour, full of faith and power. Fill them Lord just like when the apostles knew they needed boldness to advance Your gospel. Suddenly their meeting place was shaken and Your Spirit came upon them and they spoke Your word with boldness. Come Holy Spirit. Pour out Your Spirit, I pray. Please grant each one the desire of their heart for the sake of the harvest. God, may supernatural faith, the gift of faith, arise in their hearts.”
[Right now begin to lift up your voice and pray in faith for what you believe God for. It’s time to access the promises of God. Lift up your voice. Whatever you ask for in praying and believing you will receive!]
In Jesus’ name. Amen.
