Lessons from Cain

Paul Cain was one of the Kansas City Prophets and influenced and impacted many in the 80's and 90's charismatic movement. He was good friends with R T Kendall who wanted to give his ministry oversight which was refused- some time later it became clear that Cain was not all that he seemed. ( see the excellent "In the Pursuit of his Glory" which would be an excellent read for Pastors at this time).

Paul Cain has appeared on the stage recently in Lakeland and here is an article from Charisma magazine on him.

I guess the lesson here is the need for accountability and oversight. Cain was a seemingly anointed prophet and the records of his revelations and healings are well known. Todd Bentlety will need to be sure he too has these structures in place.

Does he? That seems to be a good question.
