Sad News...

I was sad to read this yesterday:

It is with considerable sadness then, that we must temper the jubilation we know you all feel with the sobering news that Todd and Shonnah Bentley are presently experiencing significant friction in their relationship and are currently separated. We want to affirm that there has been no sexual immorality on the part of either Todd or Shonnah, nor has there ever been. Undoubtedly the pressures and the burden of the Outpouring, which approaches 144 days on August 23rd, have helped to create an atmosphere of fatigue and stress that has exacerbated existing issues in their relationship. We wish to stress however, that the Outpouring is not “to blame” for the current chain of events and that in effect we have no interest in blaming anyone, but rather we deeply covet your prayers for Todd and Shonnah and for Fresh Fire Ministries during this time.

No matter what you think about what happening in Florida at the Outpouring revivals and what you think about Todd Bentley. Please pray for him and his family.

I AM CHANGED! Last night we had our first night at the Florida Outpouring. I AM CHANGED. The right side of my body is buzzing - my hands, my feet, my face. Electricity has been pulsing through my body. This morning at the meeting the fire of God was all over me. There was a tunnel of fire around me. My hands and feet were covered with golden glitter/sparkles.

I have been battling with the experience vs. action. So what - I'm tingling, hot and laughing but what's the point. Then the Lord told me "This is the point!" At that point I knew that more then anything else I just needed to spend time with God. I needed to get over myself and enter into a intimate relationship relationship relationship with my loving Father. HA! I just wrote relationship 3 times and didn't even realize I was doing it. Just call me Chris Overstreet :)

I'm off to this evening's meeting.
