It's my observation that ALL human beings have something to hide! We are all sinners - even the ones who are quick to point an accusing finger at someone else - and such accusers are only disciples of Satan - the Chief Accuser. Such accusers are far more clever than the accused in hiding their own sins. Only the Perfect should 'throw stones'!!!!! I am a follower of Jesus Christ and have a deep desire to become more and more like Christ - but I find myself like Paul in the Bible "doing things I don't want to do or not doing things I want to do". When I sincerely confess my sins He is faithful and just to forgive my sins!! Only Christ in us makes us stand totally righteous before God our Father. I certainly DO NOT SUPPORT sin of any kind and I don’t understand everything that folks like Todd Bentley do - but I love Todd Bentley and all those accused - because the work that God has started in them (and in me) HE WILL COMPLETE in due course - even if we seem imperfect for a while!!

I am appalled at the indecent haste with which the leading ‘apostles’ and ‘prophets’ of the modern church lined up to speak ‘honour’ and ‘glory’ and ‘money, money, money’ over the ministry of Todd Bentley. I believe that God, Who is not mocked, allowed the subsequent revelations and humiliations to take place. And now, the politicking starts - it all stinks to high heaven. Shame on you Todd Bentley - not for your human weaknesses, but for splitting the church and making a mockery of the Holiness of God. Shame on you church leaders, who instead of stopping this charade, have now made yourselves as culpable as Bentley for the damage that has been done. Repent publicly; humble yourselves publicly and the God of Grace will have mercy.

You sound exactly like the pompus religious leaders talking about Jesus As far as the church leaders allowing him, who are they to stop him, what do they have to offer anyone except professional religiousity I have sat under, and among THEM for years with their "forms of Godliness" and no love or power Pastor Roger A.

Religion needs to die people. Its all about JESUS!!!! Remember, Who crucified Jesus? Religious people did. Lakeland is a true move of God. I went there for 3 nights in May. All you out there that are critizing the outporing, did you go to Lakeland? Didnt think so!!!! Quit belly aching and shut up and go after the heart of God. Oh by the way I am an envangelist. Can I come to your city and preach the Gospel? Im tired of Religion, I want Jesus!!!!!!! Another thing has anybody out there never sined? Do you think bad thouhts in your mind? We need to look at our own hearts,and quit judging one another. Quit being scared of God, he wants to touch his people in a mighty way. Evangelist Bryan Haynes

What is and what has happened in Todds life is a shame for sure. Todd is relatively a young man who rose in the Christian circles very fast. We are all a work in progress and it is unfortunate that the world should all be looking on him now. Fortunatly for me some of my crap was never seen on my way to sanctification. The impotant thing to know is that What is done in our human realm and What is done in the spiritual realm are on two entirely different plains. And I dont believe that one should not be stopped because of the other. I am one who has attended a couple of the Fresh Fire revival meetings in Abbotsford Canada and was greatly blessed in Spirit. I believe that Todd is one of todays pioneers in the things of the Spirit and there are many who got what he has been doing. The things of God will not be stopped in spite of who may fall or the opinions of skeptics. We are but flys under Gods hand and what has been gained will bear good fruit in the end. I feel that if the Christian church stayed focused on the Spiritual and not on the man The Kingdom of God would reign more supreme on the earth. There is a far bigger picture than we know. I would advise anyone to keep there faith simple but see the hieghts that Todd reached in his teaching and in the spiritual matters. I dont think that we will go wrong there. Even though I was asked to leave one of your revival meetings unfairly by one of your partners Todd, I say keep going man as I know you will. God is merciful even if we are not sometimes. dwayne

here’s some truth from behind the scenes in Abbotsford. Jessa first of all was an intern in the fall 08 cycle. She never applied for it Todd invited her into the internship. Even after a board member severly opposed it. Later Todd invited her and another intern to live in his house during the internship, and after the internship as a live in nanny.
At the same time the Bellingham, Washington church was being established so fresh fire could get a legal foot hold in America. This is evident by the lack and the sheer refusal to work with the local churches. It was just for the papers not the church.
In January 2009 2 members of the board confronted Todd about Jessa, and that it was wrong and they couldn’t stand by him about it. They where “relieved” of their position for doing so. This shouldn’t be surprising as another member of FFM was faceed with the same threat, after he caught Todd with another woman in England (this is what the dark night of the soul was actually about), the FFM member was forced to either work for FFM outside of North America or be fired. Jessa is woman number 4 that Todd has cheated on Shonnah with.
Todd isn’t 100% to blame just 80% the rest of the blame falls on those board members and pastors that refused to confront Todd on his infidelities. One in particular had the mind set that if Todd does it, it’s okay even if it isn’t for others. Others refused to confront because they didn’t want to loose their jobs (like many have over the years)
Even in Lakeland which I personally think was a two edged work of God, it was a blessing to the locals who have prayed for God to move. And the other edge was a judgement on Todd, in total over the top Todd style. During the highet of revival there was excessive drinking, slasher flicks, and other things I wont get into now with Todd and his inner circle (yes men). There was infighting with the leaders on stage, and the interns where just slaves with ministry badges. Or the fact that all the money collected for the orphans and for sudan never made it to them, it was instead used to pay for the buildings/land for the revival.
Even after Lakeland fell apart, and the news finally became public, Todd never returned home to Abbotsford. He remained in America (illegally) in California, then a breif stop in Reno for their quickey divorce rules. Then it was off to Rick Joyner and his marriage with Jessa
These words are not made up, this is a summary of many conversations I have had with former FFM employees, board members and former interns. I just can’t stand by and see Todd get away with this for a fourth time. A man who has turned his back on his wife and children once again. yet will be received by the masses as THE man of God.
