On Friday night, we spotted a tweet from Rick Joyner’s MorningStar Ministries, alerting us to the fact that Todd Bentley was preaching at Joyner’s church that evening on the raising of the dead:

Joyner has been key in “restoring” Bentley’s reputation after he divorced his wife back in 2008 and, on Friday, the two men were preaching together at Joyner’s “Harvest Fest 2015” event. Unfortunately, the footage from the event is only available to those with a subscription so we have been unable to watch it, though a short excerpt was released on the MorningStar YouTube page showing Bentley bragging about how he recently revived three people from the dead during an event in Pakistan:
It turns out that these are just the latest in a long string of resurrections of the dead in Bentley’s career, as he explained earlier this month at a different event that he has been responsible for no fewer than 35 such miracles over the years.
Bentley recalled how he had recently cured a young girl of Down syndrome and had even brought back from the dead a man who, 48 hours earlier, had been electrocuted so badly that all of his internal organs were melted.
“I wish we had a dead body we could pray for, but we don’t. That would have been a great illustration,” Bentley stated, explaining that he travels with a “raising the dead tent” in which he places those who have recently died so that he can pray them back to life.
So far, he’s managed to bring back 35 people, Bentley said, but for best results, they have to have died in the last couple of days. Four days, it turns out, is generally the limit at which he is capable of bringing people back from the dead.
