"
We Must Wake Up From Our Slumber and Realize That We are at War. . ."

My daughter, Cassandra, had a dream; in the dream she was at a Christian campground. It was night time and everyone was asleep, except her. She was awake because she felt something was wrong. As she lay awake on her bed, she saw out her window a raging fire, and it was headed straight toward the campgrounds.

She ran to the camp official and frantically told him that he needed to get all the kids out of the camp because of the fire that was headed their way. But he did not believe her and told her she was crazy. She ran to a window and opened it; she screamed at him, wanting desperately to convince him, "Look, there is a fire out there!" But he just rolled his eyes at her and told her to go back to bed.

In the dream, Cassandra's friend heard her screaming and ran to see what was wrong. She showed her friend the fire; she believed her, and they ran to safety. The two girls were the only two who made it out of the camp alive; the rest of the people were burned while they slept in their beds.


Put on Your Armor of Light

When she shared this dream with me, I thought of how it reminded me of the Church at this time. How passively we endure the onslaught of our enemy, without really realizing we are at war with him. The enemy has sent a consuming fire to destroy us, and we remain asleep while the he advances.

In Romans 13:11-12 it says, "It is already the hour for you to awaken from sleep; for now salvation is nearer to us than when we believed. The night is almost gone, and the day is near. Therefore, let us lay aside the deeds of darkness and PUT ON THE ARMOR OF LIGHT." (emphasis mine)

The day the world has been in need of is upon us. The night is almost over, and the day is almost here when the Church will arise in power and devour her enemies. But we must wake up from our slumber and realize that we are at war and put on the armor of light.

The Lord is calling us from our slumber to battle in the heavenlies for the souls of men. He has declared war on principalities and powers that have held them in darkness. We must dust off the cobwebs of apathy and passivity and fight for His sake. We must take authority over the realms of darkness for His sake.



Plunder the Darkness

Everything God has fought for was for us. He has given us the keys to the kingdom of darkness and commanded us to "plunder it." Our faith without deeds is like having a gun, but not using it. It cannot be life as usual anymore; no, we must realize that we are at war and fight!

The day of our salvation is at hand, but it will not be acquired passively. We must fight and "through God we shall do valiantly, and it is He who will tread down our adversaries," (Psalm 60:12). God will give us the victory, but we must fight. We must throw off passivity and advance against our enemies in the name of the Lord.


We Have Authority

We have allowed Satan to deceive us; he has infiltrated our minds and conned us into thinking that we are at peace -- that all is well. And we have slept while the enemy has tried to destroy us. We have slept while our Churches have been pillaged. We questioned our authority in Christ while our children's hearts have been stolen away by the enemy.

Church, we have authority! God has given us authority over all demonic activity (Luke 9:1; Matthew 28:18-19). We must use it. Jesus said, "The work of God is this: to believe on the One He has sent," (John 6:29). Our job is to have faith -- to pray and believe.

"I say to you, if you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there, and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you." -- Matthew 17:20

You have mountain-moving faith inside of you! You must use it to bind Satan and take authority over him because God has given you authority over all things everywhere. We rule and reign with Christ! (2 Timothy 2:12; Psalm 103:19)

It is a new day Church! It is time to wake up from our slumber and rise up in battle and plunder our enemy's lair. This is the day of our salvation as a Church and for the millions who will be set free through this war. So, put on your armor of Light Church, put it on!

Christ's Healing Touch

by Todd Bentley
$20.00 Book

I am grateful to God for raising up such a young man as Todd Bentley. He's a man from outside the camp, who God is using to actually embarrass many who have been in the ministry for a long time (and many who have much training) for their latent unbelief and lack of power. May Todd's life, ministry, and books provoke us to a holy jealousy and stir in us a desire to see and experience more of the biblical promises in our lives. I recommend this book as one which will increase your faith and understanding regarding the ministry of healing and the miraculous. I am going to add it to the reading list for my interns. - RANDY CLARK, Founder and President of Global Awakening, Mechanicsburg, PA, USA

Bill JohnsonTodd Bentley has done it again - he has provided us with an invaluable tool, helping us bring an authentic gospel to the streets of this nation and beyond. Instead of reinforcing the misconception of "miracles are for superstars," he equips us with the insights necessary to pursue healing as a Biblical mandate. It's his personal story that completes the picture by creating in us a hunger to passionately pursue Jesus, the true Healer. - BILL JOHNSON, Pastor, Bethel Church, Redding, CA, USA, Author, When Heaven Invades Earth

Todd's book, Christ's Healing Touch, is dynamic, informative and powerful. I highly recommend it. - DR. CHE AHN, Senior Pastor, Harvest Rock Church, Pasadena, CA, USA


Christ's Healing Touch
is written as a complete war manual on the healing ministry, so you, like Jesus, can heal all who are "oppressed by the devil" (Acts 10:38), and with God's power, "destroy the works of the enemy" (1 Jn. 3:8). Christ's Healing Touch will help give you a complete theological understanding of healing and will impart a new passion and anointing for doing the supernatural works of Jesus.


FOREWARD BY DR. MAHESH CHAVDA

The heart of God can be summarized in Christ's words as He emerges from the wilderness, ministers healing and deliverance, and declares, "The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me, because He has anointed Me to preach the gospel to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed; to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord," (Luke 4:18-19). God's heart of compassion has never changed. He still desires to heal and set free the poor, the captive, the brokenhearted and oppressed. And so Christ, through the centuries, has commissioned His disciples "to go into all the world, preach good news" with signs following.

In the last century, gifted men and women have brought this message with amazing confirming signs. Among them were Aimee Semple McPherson, A.A. Allen, T.L. Osborne, William Branham, Oral Roberts, Kathryn Kuhlman, John G. Lake and many others.

About five years ago, I heard of another special gift that God was raising up in Canada who was touching nations with a powerful healing gift. He was a young man in his mid-twenties, recently delivered of drugs, who had been called and anointed of God with a special healing gift. His name was Todd Bentley. He invited me to come up to Canada and minister with him.

I spent quality time not just with him, but also his wife, his pastor, his father and his team. In their midst I smelled the life-giving fragrance of the Holy Spirit, mingled with zeal, holiness and humility. I invited Todd to come to our healing center in Charlotte to minister. I saw the healing gift truly touching lives. Since that time we have had more quality time to compare notes.

In this book you will hear the voice of a genuine healing gift raised up for our generation. Todd has a burden to disciple and release others in this anointing.

The roll call of nations and cities that have already been impacted by his ministry is astounding. When one is around Todd Bentley, one gets the burden of his heart to touch every nation and every soul with the healing gospel of Christ as soon as possible.

In this, the first decade of a new millennium, I believe we are looking to move into the greatest expansion of the glorious gospel of the Kingdom of God. Todd Bentley's book, undergirded by a genuine and powerful gift of healing, is an anointed tool to disciple you to do the works of Christ and impact your generation with the power of Christ. -
