In the spring and summer of 2008, had been very grieved in my spirit over the situation with Todd Bentley in Lakeland Florida, where he was being touted by big-name ministries as a so-called “Revivalist.” At the time, I had close friends from my former church (and family members) who were listening to this man’s false teachings. He was also making false claims where he stated “God told me to put tattoos on my body.”
At this time, many were contacting me by phone, and by email, asking me what I thought about Todd Bentley. I did not want to make a wrong judgement about him, so I reserved judgement until I went into prayer and fasting for an entire week. I had previously thought (like many others) that Todd Bentley received his tattoos before his conversion to Messiah.
But in fact, he received his tattoos after twelve years into his ministry (since he first began in 1997). On the first day of fasting and praying about Todd Bentley, the Spirit of Yah spoke to me and said “Go to the internet, and look up Todd Bentley, and tattoos.” I immediately obeyed his voice, and did just that, and I was led to his Myspace page, where he was showing off his demonically inspired tattoos. Upon landing on TB's Myspace profile, this is what I saw. You will notice this tattoo on his leg of Medusa, a demonic fallen angel with serpents coming out of his head.
Even though the Magen David Star is on the crown of pomegranates, (and is meant to be a symbol of our Messiah), the devil has attempted to hijack this symbol to steal the glory away from YaHuWaH.
Pictured on his neck is the “Skull & Bones” inside of a rose for the Illuminati symbol of the “Rosicrucian's.”
If that is not bad enough, he even claims that that the Holy Spirit told him to put these occult-oriented tattoos on his body in the year 2007, which was one year before the so-called Lakeland Revival. But he had already been operating in a in full-time ministry since 1996, where he was ordained at the Toronto Airport Church, pastored by Ecumenical leader, John Arnott.
Are you still not convinced that tattoos are of the devil?
Please read these links below to learn more about the spiritual ramifications of getting a tattoo and the demon spirits that you are opening up yourself to when you tattoo yourself!
During this false revival in 2008, Todd Bentley was posting photos of his tattoos on Myspace.com. Many young people and Christian teenagers were leaving comments about his occult-oriented tattoos, as they were being led astray. Many young people went out and got tattoos, because of Todd Bentley’s demonic influence. As I cried out to YaHuWaH about this, he showed me Todd Bentley's spiritual condition:
Revelation 2:14 But I have a few things against you, because you have there them that hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balac to cast a stumblingblock before the children of Yisrael, to eat things sacrificed unto idols, and to commit fornication.
I sent out warnings to all of my friends and loved ones, pleading with them not to go to Lakeland Florida, for I knew that this was a false, demonic revival and a false anointing!
But even though I knew Todd was an impostor, the persecution against me from friends and family was very fierce, and the attacks were so intense, that I began to question my own discernment. I was hated by my closest family members and friends for speaking out against this man, and his false anointing.
Therefore, I began to ask YaHuWaH Elohiym, our Father in Heaven “Am I falsely judging this man? Is this a true revival and a true anointing?”
As I remained in fasting and prayer for seven days, (with weeping and crying out to YaHuWaH), on the seventh day of this fast, I had a dream about Todd Bentley, and it reminded me of when the prophet Ezekiel was shown in the 8th chapter, the occult practices that were taking place in the Temple. The abominations that Ezekiel saw were similar to the things that I had seen in three dreams I had about Todd in the summer of 2008.
Dream about Todd Bentley on Thursday May 29th 2008:
I was in a hotel room, and I was aware that Todd Bentley had been staying in that room prior to my being there. There was a flat screen television the wall, and there was a television show on “God TV.” The television show featured a clay animation (Claymation) for little children. It reminded me of the animations I used to watch as a child called “Gumby” and “Davey & Goliath.”
What was strange, is that they all had only one eye on their foreheads like a cyclops. I remember thinking that this was a manifestation of the “all seeing eye” of Horus or Lucifer (like what we see on the back of our one-dollar bill).
These little one-eyed reptilian monsters were chanting the name “Todd Bentley, Todd Bentley, Todd Bentley…” repeatedly, as they were worshiping him. They did this in rhythmic cadence, almost like a song.
Then he said to one of the maids, “Clean the semen off of the television screen, because Todd Bentley ejaculated on the television screen!”
That was the end of the dream! I woke up horrified at that dream, but then the Ruwach haQodesh (Holy Spirit) told me to read Revelation 16:13, and Daniel 2:42-44.
13 And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet.
14 For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of Elohiym Almighty.
As I read these words, it was further confirmation that Todd Bentley was operating in unclean spirits, and not the true Holy Spirit!
The reason why the hotel manager wanted to clean my room, is because Todd Bentley had made it “unclean” by operating in unclean spirits. These creatures were made of “clay,” because in Daniel 2:42-44, the messenger showed Daniel a kingdom in the end of days that was represented by “ten toes” made partly of clay, and partly of iron. I knew, as I was reading these passages of scripture, that Todd Bentley was sent by the adversary to sow seeds of deception, and strong delusion (2nd Thessalonians 2:9-11). I also understood that Todd was given his position by the Illuminati, aka the Jesuits of Rome, in order to prepare the masses for the One World Religion & Government of Anti-Messiah.
I understood in this moment, that the ten toes being made partly made of iron meant something not human. I knew that it had to do with transhumanism, and merging humans with machines. I had watched all three Terminator films, in the 1980's & 1990's, and I already knew this was part of the Illuminati agenda. As I read the words of Daniel 2:41-43, the Spirit of Yah was showing me that Todd Bentley had mingled his DNA with serpent seed, and was being altered into a Nephilim, as described in Genesis 6:4.
Daniel 2:41 And whereas you saw the feet and toes, part of potters' clay, and part of iron, the kingdom shall be divided; but there shall be in it of the strength of the iron, forasmuch as you saw the iron mixed with miry clay.
Daniel 2:42 And as the toes of the feet were part of iron, and part of clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong, and partly broken.
Daniel 2:43 And whereas you saw iron mixed with miry clay, they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men: but they shall not cleave one to another, even as iron is not mixed with clay.
As I read these passages, I understood that TB was “mingling his serpent seed with the seed of humans.” Not only was he doing this on a spiritual level, (by preaching a false gospel, and a false Messiah), but he was also doing it on a physical level, but I was not sure exactly how he was doing it, until I did some further investigation.
After waking up from this dream, a few other people I knew from Myspace.com, sent me some videos of Todd Bentley testifying of his encounters with fallen angels:
Todd Bentley Taken By Aliens Live !!!
Todd Bentley, Toronto Airport 2004
After listening to these YouTube videos, I realized that Todd's testimony sounds exactly like an “alien abduction!” In reality, it was obvious that he had experienced encounters with Nephilim. However, he was passing off his testimony as if he had encounters with angels of Elohiym from heaven.

This is when I understood that the dream was showing me that he was “sowing demonic seed” into the harvest field. This is why in my dream, there was semen on the television screen. It was his demonic false anointing (via unclean spirits) that was being transferred to people via television!
If you take the time to watch these videos, you will find that his testimony is totally bizarre. Todd Bentley testified that he had been in a hotel room (just like in my dream), where he supposedly experienced a visitation from “God” (supposedly). In his testimony, he claims that the hotel burned to the ground twelve hours later!
After I had this dream about Todd Bentley, I send out emails to many friends, as I warned them what Yah was showing me concerning Todd Bentley, and the false revival in Lakeland Florida. But I was met with scorn, as they accused me of being judgmental of Todd. I continued to fast, pray and intercede for these people, and for Todd Bentley to be exposed.
Then, on June 8th 2008, the Spirit of YaHuWaH spoke to me in prayer and this is what he said:
“Maria, I am going to expose this man’s false ministry, and his false anointing----I am going to take him down within 60 days.”
Then YaHuWaH said to me: “Maria, the sign of a false shepherd, is that he leaves the sheep (John 10:12), and this is what Todd Bentley will do. He will be shown to be a false shepherd when he abandons his wife and children for an adulterous affair. This will happen within 60 days.”
On August 8th 2008, (08/08/08), the fulfillment came when the Board of Directors of God TV announced the following statement:
from Rory, Wendy and the GOD TV Board of Directors | |
Dear One, It is with great regret that we as Founders and our Board call you to urgent prayer. As you may have already heard, Todd and Shonnah Bentley are experiencing some current marital difficulties and have separated. GOD TV is anxious that our viewers and partners will first of all respond to these unfortunate circumstances with an attitude of Christ-like maturity and pray fervently for Todd, Shonnah and their children as a family who are precious to the Lord. While we have learned today that immorality was not an issue, no doubt the enemy has exploited vulnerabilities in their marriage. What the devil has not counted on is the Christ-like maturity and intercession that is currently being raised up all across the earth in response. We hope you will join us as a part of this prayer covering. It is GOD TV's position that marriage is a foundational cornerstone to those families called to ministry and would believe that those who have spiritual oversight for Todd and Shonnah's ministry will recommend a time of sabbatical for the family in order to seek reconciliation within their marriage should these reports be accurate. As many of you know, August 8th was our final 'Lakeland' broadcast. We do however, believe that it is important to recognize and defend the authenticity of this outpouring by the testimonies of the countless thousands who viewed on GOD TV or attended at Lakeland and were healed, set free and delivered through Jesus Christ. There are many churches around the UK, USA and the world who are currently holding nightly revival meetings affecting whole communities. Once again at this time may we encourage all to pray for the family and soberly remember that all of us will be required to give account to the Lord for our lives. It is our earnest prayer that Todd and Shonnah will be fully reconciled. Rory & Wendy Alec and the Board of GOD TV | |
August 8th 2008: Another Dream I Had About Todd Bentley
In this dream, my son Elijah was talking to Todd Bentley on his cell phone. Just then, Elijah handed me his cell phone, so that I could speak with Todd Bentley. Todd was carrying on a normal conversation with me, with lot of “small talk.”
Then I said to Todd “Can I ask you a personal question?” That's when he became very silent, and he hesitated to answer. I could tell he did not want to answer my question.
I said “I’m sorry, but I have to know the answer to this question---I don’t mean to offend you.”
I continued: “Todd, do you really believe there is nothing wrong with putting a tattoo on your body? You do know that Leviticus 19:28 says that we are not supposed to do this, right?”
Todd replied, and he said “Yeah, I know,” with an almost embarrassed of tone of voice. He explained “But now that I got these tattoos, it’s kinda too late, so I might as well use it for God…”
Then, I replied “But Todd, you must let young people know that you made a mistake, and do not allow them to follow your bad example. I see young people commenting on your myspace page, and they are going out and getting a tattoo because of you! Yah told me that you are like Baalam casting a stumbling block before the children of Yisra’el.”
After I said these things to him, suddenly, I was talking to him in person, and no longer on the cell phone. Todd had a worried look on his face when I told him that Yah showed me that he was like Baalam. I took Todd Bentley by the hand, and I was trying to encourage him to do the right thing.
Then Todd said “Well, maybe in the end-times, I might end up becoming a false prophet, but not right now.....not at the age I am now, because I am only 28.”
I remember thinking in the dream, that he was 32 years old at the time, but he was lying to me about being 28. I realized that he was deceiving himself about his age, and he was also deceiving himself about his lost condition. I remember thinking “This guy is really sure of himself, and he does not see that he is a false prophet.”
After that, the scenario switched to a news documentary that I was watching on television. It was a story about Todd Bentley when he was a younger guy in his 20’s. In the documentary (in my dream), he was in jail for committing some horrible crimes. In real life, I learned that Todd Bentley had served time in jail for sodomizing a 7-year old boy when he was 16 years old.
In this dream, a team of psychologists and scientists were conducting experiments on him. Todd Bentley was lying down on an operating table, and he was wearing what looked like an astronaut’s helmet on his head. There was a small cut-out hole at the top of the helmet where his forehead was, and one could fit a telescope down inside of the hole.
The scientists handed him the telescope, and he placed it in that hole. From that telescope, he looked into the heavenly realm and he saw the “All seeing eye of Horus” or Lucifer.
The “All seeing eye” emanated with rays of the sun, and it was very bright and luminous. I was shown in this dream, that Todd had received what is called the “third eye,” which in Satanism, they claim you can achieve by sodomizing a child. And, (of course, he had already done this in real life). He looked as if he was in a state of ecstasy (almost in an orgasmic state). Then, he put the telescope down, and turned over on his stomach to meditate on what he had just seen.
Just then, Todd Bentley’s wife walked in, and she had a Bible. She took off his helmet, and began reading scripture to him. But Todd Bentley seemed very confused and dazed. I knew that the scriptures were not penetrating him at all, because he was under a strong delusion from Satan. I was being shown that Todd Bentley was part of an Illuminati mind-control experiment, sort of like what happened in the Jason Borne movies, entitled “Born Identity.”
The scenery switched again, and I was at my house. Some of my family members were sitting at my kitchen table, and I was preparing food in the kitchen. I was making Italian food, and there were blocks of Parmesan cheese on the table, and they were trying to cut it up. I told them that I would go and get a knife to cut it with.
I went upstairs to one of the bedrooms (for some crazy reason) to get the knife, but my bedroom door was locked. I was aware that the young man from jail (Todd), and his wife were in the bedroom. I knocked on the door, and the young man opened up. He was holding a towel that was drenched in blood. He then approached me to wipe the blood on me with that towel, but I backed up, and would not allow him to contaminate me with the innocent blood that he had shed.
Interpretation of the dream:
The fact that Todd said that he was 28 in the dream (even though he was 32 at the time), tells me that he is deceiving himself about his true condition, and he has a lying spirit. The fact that he admitted that he could end up becoming a false prophet in the end, tells me that he does not care if he does become a false prophet, because is only concerned about making a name for himself.
This documentary on television (in my dream), was about Todd Bentley as a young man in jail. The astronaut helmet represents astrology, and the occult. Todd was gazing into the heavens, just as the people had done at the Tower of Babel. Jeremiah 10 tells us that the heathen are in awe at “the signs in the heavens.” They consult fallen angels, who masquerade themselves as angels of light.
The all-seeing-eye is the fallen angel Heylel (Lucifer) spoken of in Isaiah 14:12. Todd Bentley began gazing into the heavens, thinking he was gazing at the real Messiah (Yahuwshuwa), but he had a counterfeit experience. This explains why he had an all seeing eye tattooed on his arm.
When Todd Bentley’s wife came in to the room, (and took off the helmet), she began reading scriptures to him. She was trying to help him get back on track with the scriptures, but I was shown from this dream, that he is deeply into Kabbalah Magic and witchcraft. I was shown that he is under strong delusion to believe a lie, because he does not receive the love of the truth, that he might be saved (2nd Thessalonians 2:10-12).
When I was serving dinner at my house, this represents the fact that I am called to serve the “The word of Elohiym” to members within the household of faith. The blocks of aged Parmesan cheese represents the “milk” of the word, that has matured (aged) into something that has meat protein in it.
When I went to get a knife to cut the cheese with, this represents “Rightly dividing the word of truth.” When I saw that Todd Bentley and his wife were in one of the bedrooms in my house, this represents the “marriage covenant” between Todd and his wife, whom he broke wedlock with. The blood-soaked towel means that he had much blood on his hands for the false gospel he teaches.
The knife I wanted to use to cut up the Parmesan cheese with, means that I was trying to “rightly divide the word” with the people from my old church, but they would not listen. Todd Bentley tried to contaminate me with the innocent blood that he had shed (by wiping it on me), but I backed up, and would have nothing to do with shedding innocent blood. The people from my old church were blaming me for falsely accusing Todd Bentley, but in reality he was the one guilty of shedding innocent blood (on many levels).
This reminded me of what YaHuWaH said to me in 1981 & again in 1997, when he called me to be a “Watchman to the house of Yisra’el.”
Ezekiel 3:
17 Son of man, I have made you a watchman unto the house of Yisra’el: therefore hear the word at my mouth, and give them warning from me.
18 When I say unto the wicked, You shall surely die; and you give him not warning, nor speak to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life; the same wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at you hand.
Former Satanist & Vampire, William Schnoebelen of “With One Accord Ministries” has had personal “one-on-one” encounters with fallen angels or “Nephilim,” prior to his born again experience & conversion to Messiah back in 1984.
