Following the New Mystic Trail
One person that Todd Bentley has done ‘fire and glory’ conferences with is John Crowder. See here. This coming November, according to John Crowder’s itinerary page, Todd Bentley is scheduled to speak at The Oil of His Presence Conference alongside John Crowder and Stacey Campbell.
It’s not surprising that John Crowder and his friends are also into gold dust, gold fillings, manna from heaven, and faked stigmata, as shown by his very recent association with false prophetess and proven fraud Lucy Rael who was caught faking angel feathers. See pictures here:

John Crowder also teaches a strange “buzz” gospel. He says that when you witness to Satanists, no talking is necessary. All you need is to just show up buzzed and whacked in the glory. He also teaches a ‘whacky’ version of contemplative prayer and mysticism.
About 3:30 on a youtube called The Ecstasy of God Part 4 Crowder starts talking about contemplative prayer and the ecstasy of God – a heart that’s infused in pleasure. As he talks about this he walks around in a stupor, and describes how he has days where he wakes up whacked, so sloshed he can barely put his clothes on. He says to follow the little white rabbit to have the best trips with Jesus. Meditation is the second stage of prayer, the place where you meditate on a vision, actually encountering and ‘doing stuff.’ But where we really need to live is in this realm of stage three that is union, deep deep heavy ‘shoobie doobie.’ He says that a lot of mystics say it is a lesser ecstasy, an experience of His presence. Give me a Godka, the hard stuff, jack me up like Daniel’s, ends Crowder.
Watch John Crowder living out that shoobie doobie whacked out on Godka life here at End Times Prophetic, Prophecy, Visions, Dreams, Revelation, Christian Blog. It is quite sickening.

If this is who Todd Bentley has been associating himself with, and will be associating himself with in the future, what does that tell us about Todd Bentley? As those in his home town know, it is no secret that divine angelic feathers were claimed to have been landing on people during his local meetings. As it turned out, the building was well known for birds that nested in the rafters.
As the old saying goes, (buzzed, whacked, drunken) birds of a (fake) feather flock together.

Todd Bentley Interview
In a very toned down account, an off stage, quieter Todd Bentley again refers to the angelic encounter he had shortly after arriving in Florida where he saw the mantle, like the mantle of Branham, where he was instructed to stay in Florida. Although he didn’t hear anything, and the angel didn’t talk to him, he was instructed to stay. He also says he is not charismatic or Pentecostal, and his message is the same message as Billy Graham’s message. Asked about his tattoos, a lot of his tattoos predate his conversion, he says. He has gotten ‘some art’ after his conversion, but he says he thinks the world needs a different look. As he quickly changes the subject he says that for this generation it’s a different thing. Maybe someone else can listen to this and see if he mentions the name of Jesus during this interview of why he is here, and what the outpouring is about. Somehow I must have missed it.

Meanwhile, back at home…
“There has been only a couple news articles from Canada about Todd Bentley and Florida.
That is not because a self proclaimed prophet is without honour in his own country, it has more to do with the insular nature of his belief system, and the exposure his brand of teaching has had to the wider church. He is known and his teaching rejected by most people of faith in his home province of BC, people who have certainly seen the effects of neo-pentecostalism.”
