“This is a serious situation, the type of which I [Rick Joyner] have witnessed several times over the 50-plus years I’ve been in ministry. I have seen it rob people with very powerful gifts of years of effective ministry. This has happened to me, as deception came upon me and cost me more than 10 years of ministry. I saw it cost Bob Jones eight years, and I think it cost Paul Cain his ultimate purpose. It is the most deceptive spirit I’ve ever dealt with, and right now I think Chris Reed is in a battle for his future.”
(Protestia) MorningStar Ministries, a prominent entity in Charismatic Christendom, has become a symbol of the worst excesses of the New Apostolic Reformation and Pentecostal movement. Founded by Rick Joyner in 1985, the ministry has been a platform for every false teacher and loon with a story of visiting heaven, a prophetic word to plug, and a book to sell.
It was under the leadership of Rick Joyner that MorningStar Ministries introduced the Holy Spirit Hokey Pokey and promoted, platformed, and restored cancerous evangelist Todd Bentley.
In fact, it’s no exaggeration to say that Bentley’s movements and speech are dictated by little demons that sit on his head, steering him by tugging his ears left or right while whispering the words they want him to say. For years this was overseen with the approval and blessing of Joyner, who was also a key cog in the Charismatic Day of Infamy.

CRN has compiled a list of false teachers and several other professing Christians we’ve warned you about over the years.
