Incredibly confirming word about Detroit and Canada
For the most part, I'm with Rick Joyner on this. I think a great good will come out of the Lakeland Outpouring, even more so now that Todd has needed to step down to take care of family. I think the way that we handle this will have a dramatic impact on the appearance of the church and our impact in the world.
I just pray that unity presides above all.
As a brother once said (who has crossed over the Jordan already before us) "....the lost leading the lost into a lost eternity"
But we are bound to give thanks to God for His promise that His sheep will hear His voice and the voice of a stranger we will not follow!
“First of all, Todd has been removed from public ministry until further notice. He has resigned from the ministry he founded, Fresh Fire, so he is no longer a part of that board. It has become clear that he indulged in periodic drunkenness. He has no intention at the moment of reconciling with Shonna, nor does she with him. Their marriage has been torn for years by his emotional attachment with at least one other female whose physical contact went beyond hugging and kissing and holding hands. Enough said-maybe more details will be revealed later-but it was clearly immoral. All of this was skillfully concealed by lying and by swearing close associates who had observed his behavior to secrecy.”

Usually when a fallen solider is seriously wounded, his comrades risk their own lives as they go onto the battle field to rescue their brother and carry them to safety. Shouldn't we do the same? Todd Bentley is not a "losrer", ut a brother in need of his Christian family to surround him with love, grace and prayer in hopes that he will listen to wise councel, and completely repent. Harsh, mean, judegmental words and curses spoken against him, may only incure further pain, suffering and damage.
I pray for a spirit of love and wisdom, grace and compassion to fall on all who are involved in counceling Todd.
