Todd Bentley update


LAKELAND | Evangelist Todd Bentley, who led a months-long faith-healing revival that attracted thousands and worldwide attention, had “an unhealthy relationship” with a female staff member during the revival, it was announced Friday by the board of his organization, Fresh Fire Ministries of Abbotsford, British Columbia.

The announcement, a statement posted on the Web site of Fresh Fire (www.freshfire.ca), said the board had discovered Bentley “has entered into an unhealthy relationship on an emotional level with a female member of his staff.”

What is , "an unhealthy relationship on an emotional level with a female member"?

It is adultery in spirit as if in fact. This apparently has happened more than once.
I know that people have drawn comparisons between Todd Bentley and Samson ( ridiculous!!) but I wonder if people will finally stop putting ministers on a pedestal and start focusing on God and God alone.
Having said that, I still believe that many have been touched by outpourings such as the Lakeland one. I pray that those, who upon hearing the news, are ready to dismiss the move of God, will keep on believing the message even if the messenger is flawed.
