Maybe not re-issue the cd , but the dvd is another issue. I would think Hillsong and Integrity would not want the image of him singing with O2 going in his nose plus an approximate 9 minute bonus coverage of his "disease" to continue to be duplicated and distributed.
I just watched the song and the testimony again, and this sickens me!
I don't think the Kirk Franklin analogy applies to this scenario.
I am sick about this, it bugs me for sure.
I was using the Kirk thing cause he hid it basically lived a lie, but he came forward with it and made it right. Now Kirk did not 'capitolize' money wise on it that is the biggest difference, but the point I was making is that the song should speak for itself, cause it is anointed.

JT, I love this song. It "rocked" my world the first time I heard it. I hope I can get past all of this "stuff" and do it again.
This songwriter, Todd Bentley, and the likes there of demonstrate one thing; our faith, trust, and hope is built on nothing but Jesus. No church, no organization, no denomination, no pastor, no worship leader, no prophet, etc.
"My hope is built on nothing less than Jesus blood and righteousness"
I pray for those who for whatever reason felt the need to mislead people, whether they are innocent or guilty. It is not my place to judge. God will sort all that out. I am saddened if people are mislead by these people or by ME! Hence, we must always encourage others to trust the ONE who is trustworthy!
Blessings to all!
Preach!

I agree. It floored me. Maybe I can get past it. I have been through so much the past few years that this song really spoke to me alot and to hear this bites me in the shorts. But God is supreme and still the King so that is what I hold to. Still the message of the song rings true.

I agree; I pulled out the dvd and watched the song and the bonus footage about the song this morning.
The performance of this song and the testimony was on Youtube with tens of thousands of hits. It has sinced been removed.
Here's one of the song with no testimony, but it shows him wearing the cannula.
