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.

Tod was being used as a vessel and an instrument though not yet perfect which is on the day of Jesus Christ. yes the enemy will be on his back because he wants to wreck the work of God. We as fellow brothers and sisters have to carry his burden as the word says and be positive for Tod. If Tod and his wife are hurting then if we are the same body, we should hurt too because we have one Father God and our Father God is hurting for one of His own. Thank God for all who do not judge. I fear that if I judge then I will be judged. We are an army not waging war against flesh but against principalities and darkness with spiritual weapons of love, forgiveness, kindness, etc.

God will come through for Tod and his family if we all are of one accord. Lets not be on the other side of Gods army.

God Bless all fellow children of God who are praying for them.

Such refreshing responses after seeing the extend of all forms of criticism, condemnation and contempt for a very human servant of God, with his image regarded by many as uncomely. However scripture also make reference to the uncomeliness of Jesus which is why His own people disowned him. So yes we should all stand in the gap for this man,in prayer as we lift up Todd and his family. Weshould know dthe authority that we have to warfare against the real enemy in all of this. Thank you each for being on the side of God in nall of this

Thanks for the balanced view! There is so much sniping and contention out there. My experience has been one of real excitement at what God has been doing. Our church has been tremendously encouraged by the Outpouring and many folks travelled to the meetings and experienced it at first hand. Todd was clearly trying to go with what the Spirit was doing and unfortunately his personal life took a back seat. It’s a lesson to us all that we need to be accountable and give our family a high priority in these days. Let’s take the positives and learn from the negatives. We can’t judge – who among us is free of sin? God is gracious and my prayer is that the Bentley family will be reconciled and fall back in love! Christians should be always looking for the best in people – I seek to strengthen, build up and encourage rather than pull down. Praise God for the genuine healings and miracles and signs.

There for the GRACE of GOD go I. I pray blessings on Todd, his wife, their marriage and their children.
I leave them all in the very capable and loving hands of JESUS. Did everyone of us look to Todd instead of GOD….. Was our obsession with him license for the enemy to gain entry and wage war ….. Let us learn for the future that NO MAN can take the place of JESUS, and use this experience to help us stand in these last days.

I haven’t heard Todd Bently do anything but declare his outright desire to see people saved from a godless eternity, be totally born again and to start serving god. Lives of many a minister could be exposed and they may well be deeply ashamed too. All sin is sin and the pharises hoicked the woman caught in adultery before Jesus who gave here the all clear one he knew she wanted to change. Something smacks of religion here but not much about Jesus. If God only used perfect people he wouldn’t use you who may sit on your high horse. Pray for Todd and his little family. The devils at his throat cause he wants to see Gods glory change
the world.
