Wow who would want to have an emotional attachment to him? He has enough emotions for everyone! No one could match that.

Re: Evangelist Bentley stepping down

1 Brethren, if a man is overtaken in any trespass, you who are spiritual restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness, considering yourself lest you also be tempted. 2 Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ. 3 For if anyone thinks himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceives himself. 4 But let each one examine his own work, and then he will have rejoicing in himself alone, and not in another. 5 For each one shall bear his own load. Galatians 6:1-5

Todd Bentley is having problems with his marriage and has stepped down from ministry. Many are gleefully pointing fingers at him and saying, "See. I told you he was a fake." Others are praying for him, his wife, and his family.

Todd Bentley came from a rough background. When he got saved he spent quite a span of time in many hours of prayer daily. He had a ministry with "signs following" as spoken of in Mark 16.

He has been very high profile in a series of meetings which are called by some a Florida Revival and are called by others a new age freak show. I don't know Todd Bentley's heart. From reading things about him several years ago before he became so high profile I believe he is sincere and wants to be used of God. I'm sure there are things that went on in Florida that were carnal or of the flesh, and things that were even satanic, but there were also blessings and moves of God. Some with whom I am personally familiar were really stirred for God through attending those meetings.

Let's pray for his healing. He doesn't need any one kicking him when he's down. The accuser of the brethren (Rev 12:10) is busy doing that.

I agree we should pray for him, we should for all that fall.
