"Apostle" Charles Ndifon?

[Atlantians]

I went to this thing Wednesday near where I lived where this guy named Charles Ndifon was preaching a healing service.
It was an obvious sham to anyone who would thing analytically.

It was very depressing.

It was classic word-faith theology and hype.

I went there expecting to see miracles, because I heard from several people positive views of the person, they hadn't gone but were going to go.
So I went trying with all my might to suppress by general skepticism at these kinds of events.
I however was not gullible, nor did I allow the showy presentation to falter my judgment.

I quickly realized what was happening was manipulation,
I will gladly go into more detail.

First hand I saw how he would pray for people who had manipulatable conditions, like certain pains, headaches, limited hearing, losing hearing, and they would improve (generally only very little, but he would hype it up and the crowd would awe), yet anyone with true fault, would leave in the wheelchair they entered in.

Here is an example:
A woman with limited hearing in one ear went up to be prayed for one thing, and then asked for prayer for her ear.
He started doing this thing where he would "command healing" or whatever, and then he would talk in her ear, then from farther away, then farther... maybe 11ft or 12ft.
She couldn't hear his voice past 11... but after a few tests he saw that she could her him snapping his fingers from that distance... and farther... and farther... and across the room... everyone is like "wow she is being healed" while I was thinking "test her with your voice".

A lot of stuff happened like that.

Interesting. These titles such as Apostle are really strange too.

I will say that I've been too many healing services and God does heal - though there are certainly "fakes" out there.

Yes we are always so eager to see the miracles but unfortunately there are a lot of fakes - the only thing you can go by is if the Holy Spirit gives you a check in your spirit.

Sometimes we get a check in our spirit and people will call us close minded and we listen to that instead of the check in our spirit. It is a growing process and the closer you get the Holy Spirit will come in stronger to you.

Sounds like you were tuned in pretty good. Just don't let the fakes weaken your beliefs - we just have to learn how to determine that still small voice.

It was classic word-faith theology and hype.

Just an FYI - this "Apostle" is NOT WoF - doesn't calim to be on his website and his doctrinal statement is very different.

Just an informational heads up.

Oh, thanks.

His Doctrine seamed similar to extreme WOF.

His CDs included teachings on attaining wealth with faith (the cover had a mercedes in the parking lot of a mansion), claiming "your" healing, ect. ect. ect.
All things I have seen assofciated with the extreme and likely a bit 'luny' side of WOF.
So I based what I said on the doctrine appearing the same as of that form of WOF.

That is why I said 'and hype'.
