A South African pastor has sensationally claimed that he can heal people by farting on their faces.?
Photos of Pastor Christ Penelope, a self proclaimed man of God, sitting on the devotees' faces and farting on them at SevenFold?Holy Spirit church, recently circulated on social media. While the pastor has been facing flak, he has defended his unorthodox methods.?
How does it work? Penelope says he just has to fart on their heads near their nostrils to release the holy spirit. He also claims that his farts can perform miracles and insisted he is only using 'God's power'.?
"It started with Master Jesus when he stepped on Peter. It is the demonstration of God's power. Just like God made Adam go into a deep sleep, it is a similar thing.?God did anything with the body of Adam while he was on the ground in deep sleep. He was not feeling anything," Penelope told news outlet Drum.?

"The Bible doesn't say anything about Adam saying 'God, you are hurting me'," he added.?
While Penelope sticks to his methods, he is at the eye of a storm. Many?pastors have condemned what Penelope was doing, saying whether or not he was farting on people, he shouldn't sit on them.

According to South African newspaper?Daily Sun, Pastor Jacob Sibiya from Kagiso said: "This is wrong. Nowhere does God say sit on people and they will be healed.?Pastors should practice what's in the Bible, not what they think is in there."
The outlet reported that a 40-year-old woman stopped attending church when she saw the pastor sitting and farting on another member.?
"That's not what I signed for. I needed prayers not fart," she told Daily Sun.?
