Todd Bentleys Bisexual Open Marriage Exposed From Within Charismania Stephen Powell’s full statment concerning Todd Bentley

Dear Church,

As some of you know who have followed my wife and I in ministry these last several years, we’ve had the honor and privilege of traveling with and Fresh Fire Ministries around the world, along with being involved with Rick Joyner & Morningstar church, Rick goes back fifteen years. He was the first author in the prophetic movement that I ever read when I first began to grow in this stream in 2004. His books to this day have had a profound influence on my life in shaping me into the minister and man I am today. My connection when I can remember getting his books and teaching cds for Christmas from my parents. Todd’s life and out of High School, to take five months of of work, lock myself in my room, and seek the Lord day and night. It was at that time that I had my first and that I first began to move in the prophetic and healing gifts. That was when I really fell in love with Jesus and built remained to this day and afected every part of my life. I’ll always be grateful to Rick & Todd for their positive influence in my life, despite some of the bad have happened and regrettable things I’ve become aware of more recently. I’ll always honor them for being pioneers in this intimacy with God, & the prophetic. I love and honor them and that’s why what I’m about to say much fasting, prayer, and hundreds of hours of counseling with wise counselors over the last several months, that I must do what I’m about people all over the world to hear my heart, receive my honest witness of the things I’ve seen and heard, and most breaks God’s heart when things like this come up. These are his children that we’re dealing with here. We want to pray for everyone involved in this, and his family; that God’s will would be done and the true freedom and deliverance He desires for all of us would be

The information I’m about to present I believe to be true. I have done the best that I can to determine the validity of the allegations Todd, and have done the best I can to sort through hearsay and separate fact from ﬁction. This information is testimony, as well as hard copy evidence that I’ve gathered such as screen shots from cell phones.

I wish to state right at the beginning of this letter that I do not want anything personally from this other than to see the will of the Todd and Jessa helped, and leaders who have failed them and the body held accountable. I’m not seeking revenge for ways that Todd has wronged me in the past. I’m just trying to do what’s right before the Lord with the information that came

WHAT I KNOW OR BELIEVE TO KNOW ABOUT TODD BENTLEY AND THE ALLEGATIONS

I believe that Todd Bentley had a genuine salvation experience as a young man. I believe he loves the Lord, is sincere in his desire to very powerful gift from God. But I’ve also come to believe that Todd Bentley is terribly deceived, and I don’t the consequences of his decisions, not just in his life, but the lives of countless men, women, and children in the body of Christ. I honestly deceived, and that He needs major help, which I really hope and pray He can ﬁnd.

As I’ve already stated, I love Todd and I’ll always thank God for how He used Todd in my life. Over the years I’ve tried to the best of my love to cover a multitude of sins as we’re commanded to do in the scriptures, to not judge another man’s a deeper work of sanctiﬁcation and transformation in their lives. But to my disappointment and sadness I have not seen my prayers answers up to this

Although I ultimately believe that our sins and our struggles do not deﬁne who we are in Christ, I believe that in Todd’s deception He has demonic identities and found ways to justify sin in the midst of a ministry culture overrun by damaging hyper-grace I believe to be an honest assessment of this sinful identity and the working of Todd’s sinful nature that has continued to operate in Todd’s life, the true has only been revealed to me within the last few months.

I believe that Todd has a perverse sexual addiction that He picked up when He was a young man through his dark demonic childhood and through as a kid. Todd has an appetite for a variety of sexual sins including both homosexual and heterosexual activity. Down through advances toward (and in some cases engaged in sexual sin with) a number of diferent men and women outside under his leadership care in the church. I believe that Todd was preyed on sexually as a child, and I believe that that same demonic entity uses Todd to prey on others that have come their guard down because they felt all was safe being in the presence of an anointed man of God. The bible says desperately wicked (Jer.17:9). I believe that Todd’s own heart has deceived him and has kept him from understanding what is fully at work inside him. The I’ve gained in my investigation I’ve conducted this summer shows predatory behavior on Todd’s part, where in multiple cases people who were in a place of hardship and vulnerability, even ﬁnancial hardship, being ofered money or some form

I believe that both Todd and his wife Jessa are both complicit in this sexual perversion and have both participated in inviting other women, into their marriage bed. Todd and Jessa’s relationship and marriage began in sexual sin and it appears their lives over the years, despite the bond of marriage they share.

I believe Todd is not ﬁt for public ministry. On top of his sexual sins, He has proven to be a compulsive liar, He lacks ﬁnancial and He is a substance abuser that has drawn many others into these sins with him over the years. I believe moral failures, and abuse of others that He cannot be trusted with the care of God’s people.

HOW DID I GET INVOLVED IN THIS?

I ﬁrst met Todd in 2012 when He found me working as a janitor in a small church in my home state of Alaska. He recognized a ministry gift mentoring me in ministry and helped me get established as an itinerant. But for the last several years I’ve a fresh holiness message and anointing I began to move in in 2017. I had seen inappropriate behavior for years with Todd and Jessa, which I attempted leadership about to have it dealt with, but unfortunately I saw no real serious action taken on behalf of leadership to discipline

In early June of this year I had a powerful prophetic dream in which I was standing in a heavenly courtroom during a case that was being was given to me to know that major change was coming to the church, and that righteous judgment and justice was speciﬁcally that leadership in the church were being given a clear and direct charge from the Lord to “start acting more like the Apostle Paul” in matters of judgment. At the time, I had been meditating on scriptures like (1 Cor.5:3,5) where Paul said:

(1 Cor.5:3,5) “For I indeed, as absent in body, but present in spirit, have already judged (as though I were present) him who has so the destruction of the ﬂesh, that his spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.”

Scriptures like these which entail necessary apostolic righteous judgment in extreme cases of unrepented sin in the church, have in our day due to what can only be described to me as serious error due to an overreaction to religious Christ, we as leaders must be bold, courageous, and fearless in the face of sin and abominable practices, and we must be willing and obedient to the Lord calls us to handle these matters. This was the charge I believe that was being released from the heavenly courts, and what has followed word.

Right after having this heavenly encounter at Moravian Falls on June the 9th of this year, I immediately began to hear reports and drunkenness, substance abuse, lying, cheating, stealing, and even worse: leadership in the church who have I had never been made aware of this level of serious sin and what I would call “abominable practices” up until this point with Todd in all the years conclusion as to why things are being manifest now is that God is exposing them to be dealt with.

As these stories came to me the information ranged from rock solid evidence to simple testimony and hear-say. Here is a list of some of the testimony that I have gathered over the course of this summer:

– Screenshots of Todd asking a young single online student of his to “send him pictures of herself” on multiple occasions, asking her what occasions, asking for long hugs when they meet, and numerous other inappropriate and disturbing suggestions and

– Testimony of a male intern who claims that Todd ofered to pay him $1,000 to allow him to perform oral sex on the male intern. Below is one conversations I’ve had with witnesses like this young man. This is from my notes I took while having the conversation:

2013 Male Intern: there was a time that I was with Todd and I was struggling to get by…. I was living with my sister, working a job, just and Todd was supposed to be my mentor you know, and we’re hanging out and he’s paying for me to eat out, always showing of his money you know…. And he was like, “I know you’re struggling so”…. I $1,000”. And I’m like, “What?”. I was like, “What the F is your freaking problem… are you Fxxxing retarded”, and I was like oblivious…. And you that…. I saw pictures of His wife naked, fully naked, the whole nine yards.”

– Testimony by a male intern that witnessed such things, took it to Rick Joyner, and ultimately nothing was done and Todd was still allowed to go everything was okay. Testimony that Rick Joyner refused to help this young man with his personal restoration after the – Testimony of a male intern who claims that Todd ofered to pay him $500 to send Todd a video of him masturbating. – Testimony of a male intern who claims that – – Todd and his wife sent him naked/sexual pictures and videos frequently. – Testimony that Todd made out with his young female assistant whom he is not married to, walked into a room, closed the door, and stayed in minutes with Jessa being in the same house and knowing about it. – Testimony of Todd (or a male leader at Fresh Fire that’s alluded to as Todd) smoking weed with a male intern from 2018 – Testimony of Todd being caught with pornography on his phone, and of Todd being caught watching was not married to. Todd’s excuse when He was caught was, “It’s no big deal, it’s just soft porn”. – Testimony of crazy drunkenness, substance abuse, and crude sexual behavior and speech on Todd and Jessa’s part…. employee of Todd’s told me that one time he was on a plane with him and all Todd could talk about was he knew “she would like it rough”; 2) Another example would be from a Pastor I spoke to who saw Todd and Jessa walk into a restaurant… Todd then behind Jessa in front of everyone and act like he was engaging her sexually. The pastor was shocked with what He saw. Testimony from a pastor who claims that a young couple in his church were approached by Todd to “swing” with them… to have an open sexual exchange partners at times.

– I myself have seen things over the years that I ﬁnd very disturbing. I myself have seen Todd preach, pray, and prophesy over the purchase hard liquor, and walk into his hotel to party the rest of the night.

– I myself have seen and heard Todd and Jessa speak with unclean/foul speech.

I confess that I myself, at times in the past, have gotten caught up in some of this culture of speech that’s unpleasing to the Lord… what “locker room banter”, which the Lord has dealt with my heart on and I’ve repented for. But honestly, with the extremely difcult at times to have fellowship with other ministers, and build alliances with others for the kingdom, and not be afected by

My wife and myself have kept ourselves pure from sexual sin, substance abuse, and all these kinds of sins and abominations mentioned having been brought behind the curtain by the Lord and having seen some of the abominations being committed in the by God’s grace and hand upon our lives to keep us over the last several years that we’ve been in

WHAT I HAVE DONE WITH THIS INFORMATION SINCE IT FIRST STARTED COMING TO ME

At the end of June/ early July, I compiled a 32 page report with my ﬁndings concerning Todd Bentley. Todd was presented with the being written, but he said they were old, exaggerated, and false (which He has maintained up until this When the report was completed, I shared it with a couple of leaders at the time in order to have them submit the report to Todd’s main overseer others who claimed to be authorities in Todd’s life, (due to the fact that I did not have Rick’s personal contact and prophetic leaders at the time because I felt they all needed to be aware of the situation.

The report was successfully submitted to Rick and the others. I asked for a meeting with Rick to discuss and process, but up until this point about this serious issue which has been very confusing and disappointing to me.

Some of the witnesses I talked to at the beginning of my investigation have since withdrawn their testimony because they have this network of sin and cover-ups. I’ve come across at least one witness who was paid of and made to sign sins and abominations he’s witnessed. And in some cases, I personally have been threatened with a lawsuit and violence if I revealed my ﬁndings. The initial report was to only be submitted to leaders who had some level of input into Todd’s life, but somehow that private report got of leaders all over the world.

I’m not a trained professional investigator or journalist. I’m just someone who is seeking truth, righteousness, and justice in the church. see purity and holiness in the bride so that God can trust us with greater glory in the future. I admit that been involved in anything like this at this level before, and I’ve handled some things poorly. But I tell you today that I’ve done the best job that I tried to the best of my ability to move with love, patience, carefulness, prayer, and wisdom as I’ve received it from the

At this time I am shaken at the possibility of unfounded statements being circulated around the world through my private report. The last in false accusation. But I confess that this is not an easy situation to handle. I felt compelled to compile looked into and addressed. But it seems that they have not been adequately addressed and looked into, and given everything I’ve seen in this hope that Todd’s current leadership covering will ever handle this right, which is why I’m presenting my case to the

At the end of the day, given the evidence I have and the 100’s of hours I’ve spent on the phone talking to witnesses, I am fully convinced lost the privilege to minister to God’s people any longer, in full time ministry. When someone has a record of drunkenness, lying, & cheating going back more than 20 years… and they have repeatedly been ofered great mercy and grace rather than ministry, yet they continue to behave in this matter…. in my mind and through what I can see in the scripture, they people ever again, in their own public ministry. I’m still holding onto hope that this level of exposure will facilitate true brokenness and true Jessa’s lives necessary for ultimately saving their souls. I still hold onto hope that Todd will stand before us in of cleansing and deliverance, a transformed and truly restored man to Jesus. Up until this point there has not been true deep lasting repentance and have hope that there still can be.

To be a minister of the gospel, to have charge of the flock of God, to take into your care young impressionable interns who come in having state a vulnerability,… and then to take advantage of the people of God financially, to take advantage of the the highest level of demonic activity… it is of the highest level of spiritual treason in the kingdom of God,… and these things should not be swept should not be covered up… they should not be handled lightly…. They should not be handled by covering up the activity and threats binding them. To me this appears more like the mafia than the ministry of Jesus.

In my mind, leaders who have been in Todd’s life, leaders who have had oversight over his life and ministry, have erred in the way of Eli. He was held responsible in God’s eyes for not restraining his sons who were vile and full of abominations. He did people at the door of the tabernacle, and because of this his house lost the ark of God. I believe that Rick Joyner, along with other Senior leaders who have had oversight over Todd through the years, have failed the body of Christ in this regard. I believe many lives have been destroyed because of their appropriately discipline Todd in proportion to the seriousness of his sin, ofense, and on-going lack of true repentance. WHY AM I GOING PUBLIC NOW?

Allow me to explain a little more in depth what I’ve seen over the years, what I’ve come to learn more recently, and why I’m going public process.

Over the years, as I’ve stated above, I’ve seen the good, the bad, and the ugly with Todd and Jessa. I’ve seen a heart for God, for the heart for their family and also others like myself who they enjoy helping to establish their ministries, but behavior and speech, I’ve seen Todd and Jessa with alcohol many times, I’ve seen some of the lying and extreme exaggeration that seems to have years. At the time I saw these things my thoughts were that these are signs of some of the damage that hyper-grace has Jessa are no longer embracing a lifestyle of holiness and sanctiﬁcation as ministers of the gospel. I that it wasn’t my place to correct them, I felt my time wasn’t up there yet, and I had hoped that Rick Joyner would deal with it. At one point I to Todd’s assistant about an incident involving Todd drinking with his single female assistant alone. I saw liquor in 2017 while on a ministry trip. I heard back about a week later after that that Rick had disciplined Todd on it. But in no time whatsoever old ways and it seemed Rick’s discipline had no lasting efect.

God eventually separated me from Todd’s tribe due to God’s increased dealings with me on holiness and purity, and for the last few years I’ve Todd for the most part, except for a few brief meetings here and there.

I never dreamed that the things I was seeing throughout the years were actually symptomatic of such deeper darker issues. But what has which initially came to me unsolicited, has revealed that truly what I saw throughout the years was surface deception in both Todd and Jessa’s lives.

Since learning about the more horriﬁc sins and abominations of Todd, I’ve gone through a roller coaster of emotions. At ﬁrst I was angry, had been deceived and taken advantage of. Years ago in Alaska, my wife and I sat in the services glowing reports about Todd saying that He was the best person He had ever worked with in restoration. I moved my whole family of 6 from Alaska to South 2015 to work with Todd and help him establish his new center, and no one ever told us about the depth of what was really

I’ve gone through all the emotions of deep deep sadness and grieving over this level of sin in the house of God. I’ve prayed out of this and the body during this process. But now, after walking through this and carrying this burden for months, I been with Todd. I feel that God’s love was covering the multitude of sins to give time for Todd to repent in private, but now that time is up, and now is exposure so the house of God can be cleansed. May acts like this release the tangible fear of the Lord back into the church that how serious a thing it is to minister in the name of the Lord and lead God’s people. But to answer this question as to why I’m going public with this today… I would say it is the culmination of months of fasting, prayer, unsuccessful attempts to meet with Rick Joyner and discuss these issues. I’ve tried to the best of ability to has appeared that leadership has not been interested in doing the right thing with Todd Bentley and protecting the body. It appears that they have only this up over the years and not bring appropriate discipline in proportion to the seriousness of these sins against God as

I was told by Todd’s assistant in late June that Rick was aware of the “recent” allegations that had surfaced that month, yet Rick still or meet with me before He went on sabbatical for the month of July. Multiple other leaders can verify online, revealing nothing except to a few leaders in private who I tried to go through to get directly to Rick. I waited patiently for weeks Rick got back from Sabbatical, but heard nothing from him or his ofce. Finally, on August 5th, after 7-8 weeks situation, I received a very short generic email response from Rick’s assistant basically saying process also emailed Rick early on about this situation and received the very same email response the same day on August 5th, word for word, like it was an auto response and couldn’t really be considered an adequate response.

Early on in the process, June/early July, I was contacted by a pastor from Florida who is over Todd’s apostolic network telling me that He lead the investigation on this matter. I neglected to talk with him or work with him because I did not trust him. could be easily manipulated by Todd, which it seems He has been. I could not believe Rick had chosen to use someone who Todd had self-appointed, to be his man in the investigation. This man later told my pastor friend over the phone that He didn’t even believe in restoration ministry. He confessed their sin, that they should be allowed to continue on in ministry as if nothing happened, without shocked and disgusted that this man was being used in this situation. He seemed so compromised by hyper-grace error, that it seemed very unlikely He could just, godly, or objective role in this matter.

Todd recently told the world publicly on a Facebook live broadcast of his event “Revival Harvest America” in California that “Rick and Bill that I sent. In Rick’s second response to me via email which I received on 8/19/19, He stated that “the things in that he had “a difcult time believing any of the rest of the report, except for what he knew to be true, and had dealt with concerning Todd several years interesting since many of things about Morningstar in my private report were told to me by Todd over the years.

But this has seemingly been Todd and Rick’s united position during this whole process: That all of these new allegations are not new, they (where Todd solicited a male intern for sex) and before that time. They’re saying that there’s no new stuf, that it’s we have a lot of new evidence and testimony since 2013, which Rick and leadership have seemingly not wanted to take serious.

– We have a witness which states that they saw Todd and his assistant fooling around in 2017 – We have multiple witnesses who have seen the drunkness, the parties, crude sexual speech & behavior, and the increased lying. – We have screenshots from a young lady in 2018 that show that Todd pursued this young lady inappropriately online. – We have multiple witnesses who verify a story we heard about a male intern of Todd’s from last year, 2018, being approached by Todd at a – We have a pastor from this year, 2019, that says that Todd was kicked out of his network in Mexico for “inappropriate wife”. – We have testimony from a pastor this year, 2019, who claims that a young couple in their church were approached by Todd and asked to “swing”; to swap partners a night. – We have a pastor from this year, 2019, who says His pastors in Pakistan will never had Todd again because ladies have them inappropriately.

All of this just mentioned is the highlights… There’s so much more testimony and details of incidents happening within the last few years.

So, you can clearly see, these reports are not old, they are not all related to 2013 and before which Rick and Todd have insisted upon. They few months ago, and they show a disturbing ongoing pattern of unrepented sin as well as a cover-up from leadership.

At one time, the pastor from Florida who was appointed by Rick and Todd, told a group of pastors that He had talked to multiple witnesses report. But when someone from my team contacted this pastor to ask him about his claims, He admitted to this team sadly been the story so far. We’ve seen a coordinated efort from leadership to quickly cover allegations seriously and seriously looking into them.

CONCLUSION

Once again, I’m asking for people to please pray. Pray for my wife and I, for our family, as we continue to carry this burden before the being tried in the courts of heaven currently. Please pray for protection, for continued wisdom, for shaking for our lives and ministry. Pray that we will be freshly ﬁlled with God’s love and mercy while presenting truth.

I would like to appeal at this time to both leaders in the church and people in the body to not stay silent on this issue and other issues. channels of authority to the best of your ability, do the best you can to love, honor, and handle everything with allow the enemy to keep you silent. As a wise man once said, the only way for evil to endure is when good people do nothing.

If you’re an apostolic leader in the body, I’m asking for your help. If there are people out there in leadership that can help with holding in this situation, please help. If you have your own story and witness that veriﬁes my witness and story, understand that this situation has the potential to get messy and for false accusation to swirl, and that is not at all what I want. But if there’s legitimate there’s unrepentant sin going on in the body, if there’s an apathetic spirit in leadership that refuses to take a stand for hour and let these things be addressed head on with courage, purity, grace, and love for Jesus and his people. Woe unto the watchman that sees the sword coming and doesn’t warn the people. God will require the blood at the watchman’s hand (Ezek.33:6). I see greater sins coming, greater abuse with strength and courage now! Stand with me church and let’s see the body cleansed and made ready for the

Right now, I appear before you fully ready to pay any price I have to, in order to see the Lord’s will done in this time of cleansing in who ﬁle suit against me, or attempt to destroy my ministry, my credibility, my voice – if so, I’m leaning continue to move forward to fulﬁll the assignment that I believe God has given to me.

I understand that everyone of you who are reading or listening to this letter will have to make up your own mind as to who you choose to others. I’ve done my best to present the facts from my perspective, from what I have both seen and heard during up your own mind and judge for yourself.

In the midst of the darkness that is seen in the body, I do rejoice in the multitudes world-wide who demonstrate pure faith and love and who to Baal.” As I walk through this challenging assignment, I must not lose focus on all the good that God is doing in always good, despite these types of things happening in his body.

Thank you for your time today in listening to my heart on this matter, and God bless.

I have been a believer for almost 50 years and a attorney who has represented churches, pastors, elder boards and victims in all kinds situations and I ofer this: Folks like Bentley should not be supported in ministry. But, the reason I am writing is to warn the efects that the enemy uses when these controversies ensue. My experience is that the secondary efects are concern that started the discussion. I have seen many families destroyed because they could not course of action. The Bible is the guide along with the Holy Spirit. I respectfully urge pursue Christ so that it doesn’t become a hobby that distracts. And pray earnestly for the few who are called to ride out the storm.

Rick Joyner is a wimpy, pansy, pussy preacher without the balls to deal with Bentley.

Glenn Allan (http://www.hopeformen.ca/)(http://www.hopeformen.ca/) 4 months ago

Let’s stop playing games here. Todd Bentley has broken the law and the Church is covering it up. Sound familiar? Quite frankly I’m sick and tired of it.

I’m a Survivor of Childhood Sexual Abuse, Advocate for Sexual Abuse Awareness & Prevention and I am also a former Law Enforcement know what I’m talking about.

The Church seem to think they’re above the law and that needs to change – NOW. When anyone is verbally or physically sexually assaulted in Church and they report this to a person in the position of leadership or staf, then required by LAW to report it to the Police. Should that person not report it to the Police, then said person could be assault.

I’ve heard a lot of focus put on Todd and folks worried about him and want to coddle him. Todd, you need a boot in the ass pal. Your entire ‘preaching’ is simply attention seeking. It’s time to grow up bud. You’re not a kid anymore. I speak to you like this because you remind me of me 25-years ago. I’ve been Clean & Sober and walking with Jesus since 1998. I’d be happy to talk to ya anytime. Walk with ya as well. But where’s the concern for the victims. We have males and females who were once Christians, turning their backs on Christ and the Church. If I were Todd, Jessa, Rick and anyone else involved I’d be very concerned for my soul. Ya know? Something about if you chase one of my followers away, a millstone will be tied around your and you’ll get chucked into the sea. Any of this ringing a bell.

Thank you Steven Powell and Tim Hurd!!!! I am so grateful and thank you for doing the Lord’s will in this! that every Christian should be taking when it comes to evil and demonic activity in this nation, period. when it comes with the hidden sin that so easily besets the soul within the church many, want to sweep it as he is holy. Often there is more work in keeping up “appearances” and keeping your sin People are often afraid they will be found out but it’s God and only God when the Lord and keeping up appearances can only last so long. Sin will take out and consume those who have an un-repented heart.

I had no idea that this was going on and I almost send one of my children into this den of occult activity! made another choice had they known that the children they raised were being taken advantage of by demon’s with

Truly I thank God that he used men after His heart to reveal. I know that my child will be safe from them because of you being the salt and could have had many regrets but God had me ﬁnd this tonight because He is love and he loves our sons and daughters!

* I’m praying for restoration for those who have been tricked, ensnared and trapped by Bently and Jessa.

* More and more God is exposing and removing the so called Pastors and leaders who harming and leading the ﬂock astray with perverse and repented sin.

* The Bride of Christ is rising from the ashes and the church will be strengthen by those who obey the truth.

Truly, I STAND WITH YOU!

I’ll be praying in the Holy Spirit for you. REPLY

Hello again, this is the Vietnam combat vet that was homeless. The Apostle Paul wrote to a church about a man going to bed with his mother in law. He judged him and stated he should thrown out of the true repentance came about. If Todd is not mature enough to see sin than the church needs to deal with this and separate themselves being apart of this ministry. We need to bring back the church to accountability of the Word of God! I don’t make the rules grace and mercy if I walk in Jesus truth. He wants a clean Bride. Jesus is my Commander in Chief, King of all Kings. and walks an arrow road. That Jesus talked about. We all fall short of the gospels and sin we need to live light the woman tha fell down on her knees and cried. I was like for what I did in The Vietnam of grace and forgives.

Victory 4 months ago Mike honey, you stand corrected, “Holy men are just that, Holy men!” They do not live by the passions of this world and they do not love not their lives even unto death. They stand, yield and submit to a Holy God completely and fully. They don’t have one foot in the church and one foot in the world. They take God at his word and they

“Man shall not live by bread along but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God” and there are quite a few who really do. God is He should lie and He knows his own.

Just because there are some really horrible examples of people who forsake their God doesn’t mean everyone does.

Mike @Mike I admire your attempt at trying to understand why Todd Bentley is displaying this behavior but please don’t compare debauchery to pedophilia. I see where you’re going with it. They’re all cases of a sexual nature involving religious leaders story were willing participants, the catholic children were not. Children can’t possibly comprehend all the their consent for a sexual act. That’s why it’s illegal.

No, the guy isn’t special. The focus isn’t on his sexuality but rather his absolute disregard for the responsibility of someone in his example for the congregation. If he needs to sew some oats or ﬁgure out who he is, he needs to step down. It would be the an ofcer of the law was using his career to gain trust so he could burglarize the community he swore to protect. bring down an institution from the inside, members of the institution don’t take too kindly to that.

Hello brothers and sisters in the Lord I am a Vietnam combat veteran who was homeless for many years sufering from PTSD. Jesus Christ gave me amazing grace how sweet the sound, that changed my life. Sometimes the road is not easy, like the Apostle Paul spoke of. Jesus our Lord spoke of weeds in the garden, separation of goats and sheep. Tribulations and trials build faith and strengthens our walk in Christ. It is not easy and can be painful. Count it all joy that God has chosen us out of the world. You will be judged as you judge, mercy will receive Forgive as our father forgave us. It is not easy to walk this walk at times, This is the cross we need to carry, but His grace is with truth and light. Narrow is the gate and wide is the gate for destruction. Todd and Rick will be judged, just as we will AM. We need to fast and pray for the body of Christ. So we can ﬁnish the race and glorify our King of Kings. free and I give it to my brother and sisters in the Lord. Please email me your address of your another burdens so we can all make it home.

These are the things that weaken the body of Christ.. There is a big diference between someone being restored, and making excuse for sin.. The mega church pastor who allows money and fame to pull them away from God will be judged.. Find yourself a small country church were the pastor refuses to compromise.. Charles Lawson of TN is one who comes to mind.. Beware of those you look up to for teaching and counsel.. if you have a pastor who believes you can live without restrain, your relationship sufer..

Rick Pol 4 months ago Stephen, sorry to hear you had to go through this, now you will learn what true grace really is. I would counsel you if you care to call ministry since 1989. You must not get derailed by this. I feel you’re taking on a burden that God hasn’t given you to forward as the Holy Spirit leads you. I really feel that God didn’t give him more time to get right, do and continue to prey on the weak and feeble? These aren’t sins that should be tolerated Rick Joyner have wrongly covered his sin since 2011 or 2012 and so has Bill. them.

“Vengence is mine, I shall repay…” God will only protect you as you walk where He has called you to walk. I’m not saying to drop it give it more than a few hours a week as you feel led to. If God has called you to the ministry then what is it He wants saying to me, as I never heard of you before, that He has given you an evangelistic ministry, then put your

I feel that you did the right thing making it public, I wouldn’t have described details like you have but I understand this was leaked and unintended. It’s very important that you just need to make sure that none of the accusations are slander. So you must have 2 corroborate a sin if you only have 1 witness then don’t make that public. If you have inadvertently done that then make a for forgiveness and ask God to forgive you. And with anything the Holy Spirit shows you that you did ask God to forgive you, then the burden will be lifted. If they go after you in court you be just ﬁne as long as you have a clear conscience.

Rick Joyner has the wrong concept of ministry and how it functions from a Biblical perspective. For example, a church isn’t a business with visionary leader, he who wants to be the greatest must be the servant of all, there is no hierarchy in the body of Messiah. Jesus to allow anyone to call them Pastor Rick Joyner, for you are all brothers. Please look that up, you will never see in any title. You will only see; “I Paul, called by God to be an apostle. No one called him Apostle Paul, pagans do that. I say that because you say that Rick J. is over Todd and Todd’s assistant etc… when you see a brother caught up in a sin. Take another brother and confront the Messia. And Yashua is the head of His body. Whose body is it? Your’s, Rick’s? It’s Yashua’s. Overseers are servants to the body, not kings, servants. I pray for God’s peace to ﬁll you Rick

Honestly, none of this surprises me at all. I don’t have any experience with Todd Bentley or Rick Joyner other than family members those two back in the days of the Lakeland revival and they insisted I go since it was not far from where I lived. But I when it comes to refusing to recognize, and correct sin and gross misuse of power from NAR and Word of Faith of faith church and I was being sexually harassed by my senior pastor who was 20 years my senior abusing myself and others. Since my pastor was well connected I contacted the current Dean and spoke to their daughter. I ﬁled a former complaint with both AFCM INternational and and my house was vandalized and our AC unit electric supply was dug up and cut church. I told them about all the inappropriate behavior, the solicitations, the abuse, the forbidding me to have more children or risk getting ﬁred and leaders did nothing. He was never even talked to. The Youth pastor and I left within 3 weeks of each other because of the abuse we had endured. Nothing was ever done by higher up leaders. So no this doesn’t surprise me that men like Rick Joyner nothing. Rich and powerful men do anything to protect their wealth.

Mam, you do not know that they will all fall. Predicting that for all NAR is an evil thing to do. Joyner and speaking for him this way is unfair. He has put out his face book response on the matter. such grand condemnations is undue process. It would seem Mr. Joyner endorsed and promoted Mr. Bentley to culpable in some way- at least to speak into the matter and warn or caution the body but after comprehended any part he should have contributed to that end. It would appear God has calls wrestle against satan and with our own short comings to become all we are meant it forth don’t trashing it because it isn’t working will only accomplish satan’s plans. Isn’t that what we want for our own kids? If Rick hasn’t gotten it all “right” that does not mean he is listening to him. If there are blind spots I will be praying he discover them. I can wisdom on his part. We are not God. Ultimately, God’s word must be the standard. New Testament new commandment given by Jesus. We are to be rooted and grounded in love.

Deﬁnitely, satan must not be allowed to get his way in bringing down sheep through the Shepard’s. must speak and judiciously protect His sheep. God wants the sheep comforted and protected from wolves. until He revokes that call we should each fear God and be careful we do not join satan in bringing Mr Bentley down. bring out the ones who will reprove, harness and restore Mr. Bentley; those who will do so in work love and righteousness Jesus, come!
