“They happen.”) They also claim to see a “glory cloud,” the appearance of dust/smoke in their services that they say is a supernatural sign of God’s presence, similar to the pillar of cloud that traveled with Moses and the Israelites (Ex. Bethel Church claims to frequently encounter unexplained phenomena both during their services and also in their everyday lives, such as falling gold dust and “angel” feathers. I believe it’s possible for us to recover realms of anointing, realms of insight, realms of God that have been untended for decades simply by choosing to reclaim them and perpetuate them for future generations.Ħ. There are anointings, mantles, revelations and mysteries that have lain unclaimed, literally where they were left, because the generation that walked in them never passed them on. However, in his book The Physics of Heaven, Johnson says: Some members of Bethel-including senior pastor Beni Johnson-have allegedly engaged in the practice of “grave sucking” or “grave soaking”-lying on a person’s grave to “soak up” the deceased’s “anointing.” In an interview, Bill Johnson has said that neither he nor Bethel encourages the practice of grave sucking. She asked him who he was, and he turned to her and said, “I am the angel from the 1904 revival and you just woke me up.” She asked him, “Why have you been asleep?” The angel answered and said, “Because no one has been calling out for revival anymore.”ĥ. All she could see were his feet because he was that large. She looked back at the chapel, and a huge angel stepped out. As she turned around, she felt the ground begin to shake and heard this huge yawn. Nothing happened for about five minutes, so turned around to cross the road to go over to a shop. Beni Johnson also teaches some peculiarly unorthodox views of angelology, such as that there are “different kinds of angels: messenger angels, healing angels, fiery angels” who have “fallen asleep.” In a blog post she wrote, “I think that they have been bored for a long time and are ready to be put to work.” She relates a story about one of her students at the Bethel Supernatural School of Ministry who claims God told her to go to the chapel and yell “WAKEY WAKEY!” As Johnson says,
Most create doctrine that you can’t find in the person of Jesus. It’s a very uncomfortable realization-not everyone can handle it. We can’t lower the standard of scripture to our level of experience. Jesus Christ is perfect theology-He is the will of God. But then, Jesus came and brought healing and deliverance to the child. For example, Mark 9 when they prayed for the tormented child. The only time someone wasn’t healed in the Bible (gospels) is when the disciples prayed for them. There are no deficiencies on His end-neither the covenant is deficient, nor His compassion or promises. You can’t decide not to buy something after you’ve already bought it. How can God choose not to heal someone when He already purchased their healing? Was His blood enough for all sin, or just certain sins? Were the stripes He bore only for certain illnesses, or certain seasons of time? When He bore stripes in His body He made a payment for our miracle. A prime example is Bill Johnson’s “Jesus Christ is perfect theology,” which claims that it is always God’s will to heal someone: The Johnsons are frequently criticized for their teachings, which often veers from the suspect to the outright heretical. Other Bethel worship songs are also popular in churches throughout the United States and Australia.ģ. 1 on Billboard’s Christian Airplay Songs chart for 2014.
