There are even a couple of churches in uk that leadership are wolves in sheeps clothing persecuting innocent christians, me one of them and know others who went to same church. They try take your life too. What kind of church does all that, only a cult, calling itself a very well known church. In Croydon they meet and the members are decieved and dont even know leadership are very crawl men to good and innocent people and I had 2 attemps on my life by these guys already. Havent been anywhere near church for well over 4 years and dont ever wanna see them again. I forgive them, that what us as christians are meant to do. The innocent are davids and this church is goliath and that wat where fighting in this world. People with millions to the poor, poverty, they hate poor people with nothing, and try get them put in prison, threatens there life, thinks ure the opposite of the truth. The devil has decieved this leadership and they wont allow anyone to get too close or they think your a threat. Wat a load of codswallap. I never hurt anyone in my life, always highly respected these guys for many years, served god very good in that church, they threw it all in my face with lies for devil and destroyed an innocent persons life, had operation to remove massive lump where cant hav kids as a result of devils attacks by this church and the world now of today. Society full of load of evil, drugs, alcholol and hatred. This leadership are following the world hating, threatening, persecuting the innocent and good christians. Its got to stop and get exposed now. not later, but now before they take anyone else life or attempt to. its got to stop now.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3612335.post-4316424002311178632009-05-26T21:12:12.866-05:002009-05-26T21:12:12.866-05:00I believe Todd Bentley is a true prophet of God bu...I believe Todd Bentley is a true prophet of God but fell into temptation. Look at the life of David. He cheated on his wife and killed his adultresses husband. But God forgave him. The Apostle Peter even denied Jesus three times. God loves to forgive.

According to a logic of those who are critical to Todd, the powers which healed Naman should be demonic and at least (if not the prophet himself)the prophet desciple should be a false prophet.<BR/>I see this descipel and also Todd only as a poor man who fell for a temptation (who of us never did?) and this fact does not diminish the greatnes of Gods healings in Jordan river or Lakeland.<BR/><BR/>Jesus said:"Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity." <BR/>To use this verse for warning people not to be involved with anything supernatural would be as saying to israelits in Egypt do not trust Mose! look Pharaos magicans are using demons and doing the same.<BR/>Also God can use a servant who will finaly end in a judgement for his own iiquity, yet his service can bring salvation and blessing to many thousends.<BR/><BR/>But do not forgret that Jesus told people that Pharisees are doing lot of iniquity and are sons of devil and yet people should listen to them since they are seated on the seat of Moses but not do the bad things they do.<BR/><BR/>If God did not heale me supernaturaly I would never be able to receive Jesus Christ and would have to go to hell.<BR/>We who were growing up in communist countries have learned that we can not trust any nice doctrins and sweet words (which communists hade, even though they were killing, beating and inprisoning.)<BR/>Therefore me and my wife could not believe preaching we hered when we sometimes visited the church since those were only words and theologies but there was no living God there acting the way we read it in acts of apostels in undoing what devil did - healing and setting free!<BR/>First when a man of God like Todd has prayed for us and we were both healed ( docters said they can not heal my injury)and set free from demonic opression (after that bible was suddenly alive)we could see that Jesus is realy alive.<BR/>And this is what Todd did for thausends and thausends of people.<BR/><BR/>You realy believe that devil vill bring thausends of people to Jesus?<BR/>Personaly I do not like the one man show with flashly things, repeating haleluyah and amen as parrots, where people are claping hands to people ( but this is typical American style to lyft up people who are just brother slaves - greek meaning of servant and call them reverend even in traditional churches in US where you will see no Gods power at all) on the other hand I know that none of us is perfect ( therefore no church can be) and the fact that Todd could do serving in more humbel style does not mean he did not serve God and did not help many people to come to Jesus and was instrument to save them also from physical suffering.<BR/>Yes you are right that even in the old testament God shows us that lot of miraculs that God did through Moses also Pharaos magicans did through demons.<BR/>But for that sake Israelits did not get hysterical (as some who write here) claiming that we should keep away from those strange supernatural powers since devil can do it also.<BR/>If you who say Todd was used by devil preach under comparable supernatulal power from God and miraculs and healings occure from God as frequently as it was in Todds ministry, than what you write has some wight I guess, yet you surly know that the unforgivable sin Jesus described was when people blasphemied Holy Spirit by saying that Jesus was healing by devil. are you realy taking such a horrible risk to do unfogivable sin by saying Todd was healing by demons, do you have 100% proof of it?? (if not, and you only think it is so, than you are very foolish!!!)or by saying that he is antichrist in which way you call his master a devil (and what if despite the mistakes Todd did, his master was Jesus? what punishment can you expect?<BR/>Specially if you teach others to do so and committ blasphemy against Holy Spirit also???.<BR/>If you think that what Todd was doing was wrong than do it in better way! but not only in words but in a power of God! (as Paul wrote I did not come to you with a fancy words but in a power of God!or that Paul will come and prove those false apostles who had only words by POWER !!!!<BR/>Start doing it in Gods power and people who need to see that God is alive and Jesus is alive will be thankful ( as I am) that you brought them salvation.<BR/>If you do not have those gifts and power, perhaps attend training by Charles and Frances Hunter who are humble, wise servants and do not do such mistakes as Todd did.)<BR/><BR/>Remember that Jesus said to Tomas blessed are those who believed without seeing. and look in this world how meny such blessed people you can find, when people are disipointed and experiance and see more and more they can not trust anyone, than you need rely also power of God and spiritual gifts to show those not so blessed ( in our country majority) them living and acting Jesus.<BR/>And I believe that this is what Todd did even if not always in best way.<BR/>It was sad hearing that warlocks and ocultists did lot of spiritual attacs on Todd, but that is understanable that devil used them in such way. Much more sad is that devil used also christians to attack Todd. That is realy sad when christians under holy zeal and impression (which Saul had when persecuting christians)are used by devil and launching attacks on other servants,( In Europa we see hockey or football players are often attacked by their own fans spestacors both verbaly and physicaly who are critisiing, angry on them that they made such and such mistake and should play totaly different way and use another strategy, but usualy those wise critics are hardly able to stand on ice or play football. And how is it with you who critisie Tedd ? how many thousnds of souls have you brought to Jesus ? how many hundreds suffering sick people Jesus healed through you ??????????????????? ) <BR/><BR/>Yours brother servant.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3612335.post-26143856862531318982008-12-13T15:57:00.000-06:002008-12-13T15:57:00.000-06:00Great Blog Todd Bentley has disappeared from publi...Great Blog <BR/>Todd Bentley has disappeared from public ministry. To a few, it is a welcomed correction in the American Christian movement. However, many so-called leaders continue to fail to admit the great deception that was allowed to rage in the church had any lasting influence affect upon those poor seduced souls that were subjected to this spiritual clown.<BR/>8.08.08 Todd’s last public appearance.<BR/> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GB9BznV69yo&feature=related<BR/>“God said, “Today, I will break every yoke.” Was this a self prophecy?<BR/>Unless delivered, false doctrines, a different gospel and doctrines of demons place permanent spiritual marks on those who participate in them. Deceiving spirits are used by the god of this world to steal souls. The masses that were drawn to this false prophet were simply left in the darkness of their souls with false explanations that Bentley reverted into an emotional experience with another woman and is divorcing his wife. The followers were told by the very same false prophets that arrived in Lakeland and gave him those heady prophecies of his supposedly anointed future, (which never happened) are “restoring him.” Who is restoring them?<BR/>Although Bentley’s ministry was thoroughly examined for biblical legitimacy and found to be a gospel filled with demonic influences, most church leaders still tell their congregations that it was just a matter of weakness of his flesh and he fell into sin. People are bound with powerful cult demons that have spiritually blinded them and no one has tried to help them to find freedom from the demons that have captured their souls. <BR/>Many, including this writer have related the horror of demonic powers that possessed the victims of crazy revival of Bentley. Seduced people that have been bound by powerful kundalini demons must be set free by driving those demons out through deliverance in the name of Jesus. Once a devil has been invited in, they must be driven out; otherwise, the victim will stay chained by the powers of darkness. How many will land in hell because of this insane deception of this spiritual clown? We will know at the Judgment Seat of Jesus.<BR/>Meantime, while the church continues to center upon such things as: Did Todd commit adultery? Is he still living with the jezebel woman that took him away from his family? Is he still drinking? Where is he hiding now? Who is restoring him? Has he repented? Bentley has become a soap opera to entertain the dumbed down minds of the church. <BR/>Hardly anyone is concerned about the deadly affect of those captured, blinded, wounded victims who are now being tormented by devils. Many have simply fallen away and no longer attend church while others have gone into deeper deceptions such as being entertained by vulture ministers who are really merchandisers of their souls.<BR/>Meanwhile, the most unpopular ministries in America continues to be, freedom giving, devil driving, and deliverance ministers. Sleep on Church, Jesus is coming soon.<BR/>http://www.patholliday.com/radio.php mp3, radio <BR/>http://www.patholliday.com/newsletters.php<BR/>http://www.patholliday.com/video.phpAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3612335.post-45169478495612956612008-09-09T08:58:00.000-05:002008-09-09T08:58:00.000-05:00Gods Boy,I see your heart here, but you are not di...Gods Boy,<BR/>I see your heart here, but you are not discerning right. You must mature as a Christian and realize that there is good and bad in the world and those who serve good and those who serve bad. There are real Christians and fake Christians. Don't chastise other Christians for speaking against workers of iniquity. This is the work God calls His children to do, and you should do the same. If you are called to bring the real Jesus to Bentley and call him to repentence, then do the work that God asks of you. I and others are called to warn the sheep that Bentley is working for the devil, not God. You don't really, really know God, if you think Bentley is a child of God. He could become a child of God, because any sinner or servant of the devil can repent of all sin and be adopted into the Kingdom of God. Think of this as a war. You must make sure you are on the side of God. Don't be deceived by people like Todd Bentley who teach you a false God. Learn from us, learn from God.

You know Jesus says in the bibele He who is with out sin cast the first stone. God used todd while he was preaching and God was there and he showed up. Instead of beating him up why dont you do what God did forgive and keep praying for him that he will get through this and get back up on his feet. You know this is the problem with the world today we are so quickly to Judge instead of lending a hand or pray for the person. I am so sick and tired of this religious spirit that is out here in this world, you know none of us are all that, none of us are holyier than though. Jesus said all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, Remember all have sinned. So this is what I think we all need to do for this man and that is shut our religious mouths and get down on our knees and pray for this man TODD BENTLEY.

You really let me have it, didn't you Dave?<BR/><BR/>Well, it you had read my blog like you claim, you would know that I went to the Brownsville school of ministry and was a missionary with Fire ministries for 3 years when by the grace of God the Lord Jesus Christ began to OPEN MY EYES when I started to pray, "expose any lies I am believing".<BR/><BR/>I still pray that prayer and He continues to open my eyes. <BR/><BR/>Today my concern is for the folks that are being deceived like I was and who are following people like Bentley. <BR/><BR/>I am not alone in my assessment of the Lakeland false revival as there are many mature Christians who agree that Todd Bentley is not only a false prophet, but a dangerous one since his meetings are being broadcast worldwide.<BR/><BR/>That's all for now...<BR/><BR/>May the Truth be revealed, may the lies be exposed, may the deceived wakeup, may the sinner repent, may the lost get saved, may both you and I discover the Truth of the matter regarding Todd Bentley and the Lakeland meetings and may the Lord Jesus Christ be glorified I pray - amen!<BR/><BR/>CathyCathy Palmerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16700052760855695613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3612335.post-17624294842239507542008-07-24T18:07:00.000-05:002008-07-24T18:07:00.000-05:00May the truth be revealed, the lies exposed, the d...May the truth be revealed, the lies exposed, the deceived wake up?<BR/><BR/>Really my dear, if only you really believed that. I read your blog and I feel sorry for you Cathy, so obsessed that 90% of Christianity is a big satanic conspiricy. Heaping condemnation on yourself if anything you publish, is not correct.<BR/><BR/>The happenings on the day of Pentecost were not in the Bible nor had they been seen before. Were they Godly, yes of course but not to the Pharisees.<BR/><BR/>I am not calling you a Pharisee, just an obsessive who needs to be rebuked.<BR/><BR/>You remind me of the Al Quieda nut cases who think they need to fly into buildings to help out God.<BR/><BR/>You think you are helping God, is he not capabale of bringing down what is not of him.<BR/><BR/>Has God given you specific revelation, no he hasn't. You know the bible, as do many Christians but not the spirit.<BR/><BR/>Is everything from all of these people 100% correct all the time, NO. Is it all a big Satanic plot. No. Are all these leaders covert, demon obsessed, plotters. Who do you trust Cathy. Is it God or any scrap of any blog or web post to back up your belief.<BR/><BR/>You can twist scripture to say whatever you choose.<BR/><BR/>Yes there will be false prophets and apostles, The Mormons and Jehovahs Witnesses fit that bill and many of the Shady "send us your money" tele evangelists, no doubt.<BR/><BR/>"trust the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding, in all your ways acknowledge him and he will keep you paths straight"<BR/><BR/>I have no idea whether Todd Bentley is an unusual true man of God, or deceived.<BR/><BR/>Your video on God TV and specifically Steve Hill and RHB made me chuckle, (no doubt because they were in Brownsville) here are men, that have lead 1000's to the Lord all the while you try and tear them down and paint them differently.<BR/><BR/>I know the passages you refer to Cathy, I have read them, discernment is a gift of the spirit and not youtube video form some unknown that backs up your own belief.<BR/><BR/>I do know the Holy Spirit and Gods tangible presence, and it is often evident and strong during the Worship in Lakeland. I see Jesus being lifted high, I have heard them mention in Lakeland and I have heard on numerous occasion RHB mention that Jesus was on earth in the flesh. Now you mention many times "test the spirts".<BR/><BR/>That whole passage say 1 Jn 4:1<BR/>"Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, beacause many flase prophets have gone out into the world. This is how you can recognise the SPIRIT OF GOD: Every spirit that acknowledges that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh IS FROM GOD, but every spirt that does not acknowledge Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of antichrsit".<BR/><BR/>Thats the full passage not the partially twisted passage to back up the belief.<BR/><BR/>I will leave you with another conundrum Cathy, Many (non latter rain) or charismatic leaders are saying the Holy Spirit is moving in a powerfull way, we are seeing that in our Church in England, even the Anglican church is seeing miraculaous healings. This does seem to fit with what Joel wrote of.<BR/><BR/>Smith Wigglesworth who was part of a revival in the early part of last century, in my country, have you heard of him. He had lots of prophesies that all came true, he was also known for hitting the odd person in the stoumach under the spirits leading when praying against sickness. Put it this way, nobody has ever accused him of being a false prophet, as they havn't Wesley either.<BR/><BR/>Well he prophesied this prophecy in 1947 about the UK.<BR/><BR/>THE GREAT REVIVAL<BR/><BR/>“During the next few decades there will be two distinct moves of the Holy Spirit across the Church in Great Britain. The first move will affect every church that is open to receive it and will be characterised by a restoration of the baptism and gifts of the Holy Spirit.<BR/><BR/>The second move of the Holy Spirit will result in people leaving historic orthodox churches and planting new churches.<BR/><BR/>In the duration of each of these moves, the people who are involved will say, ‘This is the great revival.’ But the Lord says, ‘No, neither is this the great revival, but both are steps towards it.’<BR/><BR/>When the new church phase is on the wane, there will be evidenced in the churches something that has not been seen before: a coming together of those with an emphasis on the Word and those with an emphasis on the Spirit. When the Word and the Spirit come together, there will be the biggest movement of the Holy Spirit that the nation, and indeed, the world, has ever seen. It will mark the beginning of a revival that will eclipse anything that has been witnessed within these shores, even the Wesleyan and the Welsh revivals of former years. The outpouring of God’s Spirit will flow over from the United Kingdom to the mainland of Europe, and from there, will begin a missionary move to the ends of the earth.”<BR/>- Smith Wigglesworth, 1947<BR/><BR/>Now, is he whose prophesies all came true part of your 90% Satanic conspiracy?<BR/><BR/>You may well be right about the odd thing Cathy, we are dealing with humans, but when it comes to Gods spirit against Demonic influences, trust in God for goodness sake, Demons can do nothing without God allowing it, I think your fear and paranoia is not houring to God, where is your trust? you twist scriptures and use youtube clips to try and back up your own beliefs. Unless you are 100% about all of it, you are heaping condemnation on yourself.<BR/><BR/>I suggest you reflect on what you are doing, I am not a TB apologist, I am not sure myself, but your obessive drive to prove demons hide behind every corner and some huge Satanic plot is neither honouring to God,or doing your inheritance much good.<BR/><BR/>I wonder do you have a Pastor, submit all this to them and get some accountability, I am pretty certain, others will warn you of the dangers in what you could be doing, be always careful not grieve the spirit and even more so not to blaspheme him.<BR/><BR/>Will you heed any advice? or are you totally addicted to your crusade. <BR/><BR/>Go and seek independant (not like minded crusader friends) council from a few different people.<BR/><BR/>May the truth be revealed, the lies exposed, the deceived wake up?<BR/>Amen <BR/>DaveAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3612335.post-88458005107142393212008-07-18T08:00:00.000-05:002008-07-18T08:00:00.000-05:00Thank you for your sincere comments, Pieter, howev...Thank you for your sincere comments, Pieter, however, according to the research I've done, none of the Lakeland 'healings' have been confirmed (i,e, tv program 'Nightline' tired but could not verify any of Bentley's healing claims).<BR/><BR/>But that is only a portion of the problem. Todd Bentley's outrageous apostate teachings which are no where in the Bible should be of great concern to any true Christian.<BR/><BR/>In your reading of the Bible, please take note of the many places where the Lord Jesus Christ as well as the other authors warn us against false teachers, false prophets, lying signs and wonders not to mention that Satan comes as an angel of light as do his ministers to steal, kill and destroy. "Let no man deceived you" the Lord commands us. Please do not overlook these vitally important words within the scriptures.<BR/><BR/>May the Truth be revealed, the lies be exposed, the deceived wakeup, the sinner repent, the lost get saved and the Lord Jesus Christ be glorified - amen!<BR/><BR/>CathyCathy Palmerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16700052760855695613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3612335.post-30843928880475436912008-07-18T06:57:00.000-05:002008-07-18T06:57:00.000-05:00Dear brothers and sistersI greet you in the love o...Dear brothers and sisters<BR/><BR/>I greet you in the love of Jesus Christ our Lord and Saviour.<BR/><BR/>I write to you to plead the case of Todd Bentley, our brother in Christ.<BR/>It has weighed heavy on my heart the different attitudes and opinions that fellow Christians have shown to Todd.<BR/>This morning I am reading the gospel of John and was once again reminded by the words of Jesus when He prayed to the Father on our behalf. “May they be brought to complete unity to let the world know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me.” John 17:23b and also;<BR/>“A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love another. By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.” John 13:34-35<BR/><BR/>I ask you this, how is your criticism and condemnation of Todd demonstrating any of the above commands of Jesus? <BR/><BR/>It reminds me so much of the Pharisees who tried to find fault with Jesus when he healed a man born blind. John 9. In verse 24-25 “A second time they summoned the man who had been blind. "Give glory to God," they said. "We know this man is a sinner." He replied, "Whether he is a sinner or not, I don't know. One thing I do know. I was blind but now I see!" and verse 33, “…if this man were not from God, he could do nothing.” Tens of thousands have been healed directly or indirecly as a result of the revival in Florida, and many have given their hearts to Jesus, bringing glory to God. How is this a bad thing? Look at the fruit!<BR/>I ask you again; who’s work are you doing; who are you glorifying by your words and attitudes?<BR/>Sincerely and with love in Jesus,<BR/>Pieter SiebertUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03694282693714992859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3612335.post-73209480506219283862008-07-16T12:30:00.000-05:002008-07-16T12:30:00.000-05:00I would like to start by giving my background.1. I...I would like to start by giving my background.<BR/><BR/>1. I grew up in rural Arkansas and attended a A/G church<BR/>2. I was activly involved in the A/G until 3 years ago <BR/>3. I am 29 years old<BR/>4. I pastor a full-gospel church that is non-denominational<BR/>5. I repented of my sins when I was 5<BR/>6. I was baptized at 7<BR/>7. I recieved the Bastism of the Holy Ghost at 10 <BR/>8. I have been a youth leader, praise/worship pastor, and college and career pastor.<BR/><BR/>A few weeks ago I learned about Todd Bentley. I began to research what he teaches and checked it with scripture. This prompted me to preach a sermon on false teachings and to show Todd Bentley to the congregation via video. To say the least the church was sickened by what they observed. I do believe that Todd Bentley is a false prophet.<BR/><BR/>The thing that saddens me is that people like Todd and Benny Hinn have put a bad name on Pentecostals. When I refer to myself as such people automatically conjur up these false teachers and the junk that goes on in the services.<BR/><BR/>I do believe in speaking in tounges, but I believe that it should be done decently and in order. I beleive that the Holy Ghost can cause us to speak in tounges of men and/or tounges of angels as the apostle Paul taught.<BR/><BR/>I have never personally experienced falling under the power of the Holy Ghost but I have prayed for people and they have. The one thing is when I pray for people I let them know that I do not have any "catchers" if they fall so it had better be the power of the Holy Ghost or they will probably get hurt. I do not encourage or pray for people to be "Slain"(as many people call it). I also do not pray for people to be baptized in the Holy Ghost as is common in many churches but instead instruct the person to pray that whatever God would have for them that they recieve it. This means that God might want to convict them of sin. I want God to decide what the person needs not me or them. <BR/>I was attending a church and we were eating out after church and one of the ladies that had been saved for about a year was concerned because she had not recieved the baptism in the Holy Ghost. I told her to stop worrying about that and just ask God to give her whatever He had for her that way He could do the things that He needed to in her life. <BR/>Not many people in my ministry fall under the power of God and I know it is because I dont have "catchers". I think that being "slain" is overdone and I know people in the past personally that have faked it because they thought that was the thing to do.<BR/>The other thing is, if someone falls under the power of God it is immediate and they do not crumple to the ground so they dont hurt themselves but they fall. If someone is faking it I will know and I have them stand up and tell them right there that they need to continue standing and if they feel weak they can sit down or neal.<BR/>If it isnt God then I do not want it in the service.<BR/>I do believe that all of the Supernatural Gifts mentioned in the Bible are for today and I hope that my church is able to operate in all of them.<BR/>A testimony of healing-<BR/>My wife was healed of asthma at the age of 19. Nobody laid hands on her but she had an asthma attack in church and she told God that she wanted to be healed or they would have to take her to the hospital. She began breathing fine and has not had any reocurences since. Before that she had been in the hospital multiple times.<BR/><BR/>God can do whatever He wants but that does not mean that we have a free ticket to make God to look foolish. As Christians we should try the spirits to make sure they are of God and in todays day be very very wary because many false prophets are rising and they are not here to take your money but your soul.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3612335.post-58672335974396961512008-07-15T16:20:00.000-05:002008-07-15T16:20:00.000-05:00"What is the worst that will happen at the revival..."What is the worst that will happen at the revival?

Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up."<BR/><BR/>Would be there were more courageous Christians and pastors like Dave Wilkerson who would speak out against the increasing heresies that are creeping into the church. The problem is that the deceived don't always see the deception especially if they are not reading AND OBEYING their Bibles!<BR/><BR/>Paul renounced the hidden things of dishonesty and so should we.<BR/><BR/>2 Corinthians 2:<BR/>"Therefore seeing we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we faint not; But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God." <BR/><BR/>Blessings,<BR/>CathyCathy Palmerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16700052760855695613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3612335.post-73299129636700902652008-07-13T11:12:00.000-05:002008-07-13T11:12:00.000-05:00"I can't laugh when they make the Holy Ghost look ..."I can't laugh when they make the Holy Ghost look like a fool."

These accusations have been broadcast on the airwaves as well as published by e-mail correspondence. These accusations are false and purely speculative. <BR/>I love the body of Christ and it saddens me deeply to see a brother in the Lord trying to divide the body of Christ in this manner. I have wept profusely over this matter before the Lord. The Lord Jesus has instructed us to love and pray for those that persecute us and that is the model that I follow; I admonish you to do the same. <BR/>This situation was handled in an unbiblical manner. Two or three witnesses are REQUIRED in order for anyone to entertain an accusation against an elder. There are no witnesses to any wrongdoing, and I have committed no wrong. <BR/>I apologize to all the radio listeners on today's broadcast on Spirit 1. It was hijacked without notice to me and used against me. I continue to walk in obedience to the Lord as I serve God, with my wife, and the ministry team that God has given to me.<BR/>Please pray for David Eells, Bob of Spirit One radio, my wife and I including the ministry team. I pray that Papa God would love on both David and Bob.<BR/><BR/>God Bless you,<BR/>Matthew and Kathy Stephen<BR/>http://www.scribd.com/doc/3284538/Todd-Bentley-Prophets-of-Doom-Mathew-Stephens-Curses-Lakeland-RevivalAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
