My wife Sue and I spent a wonderful two weeks in Lakeland, our report is available at Pastors Report. It is now 4 months since our trip which ended in June. The power and anointing that we walked in on our return was a great joy to us both and as we ministered to our own people and others we saw God's Power released and conferred on those we prayed for.

We enjoyed seeing churches we visited move from in some cases cynical skepticism into excited expectant believe as God moved amongst them His Glory to reveal.

Then the sad news of Todd's wandering from the path! Wow what a shock. Food and drink to the army of critics and judges who had berated him and his team relentlessly over the months of the outpouring. Many of them feeling vindicated in all that they has said, as a fellow man stumbled.

Well I'm sorry I do not agree that that kind of conduct during Todd's amazing ministry globally was on going is consistent with Jesus teaching, and I agree even less with some of what I have seen and read since.

I applaud the public letters and gentle interventions of people like Rory and Wendy of God TV, John Arnott of TACF, Trevor Baker of Revival Fires in Dudley and many others who have stood firm on Gods word throughout and expressed their love for Todd and his family, and their sadness at what has happened, and extend the hand of Christian brotherhood in guidance and support.

I can only assume that those who are quick to criticise and judge, have no fully grasped the message of Jesus when he ministered to the crown and a woman caught in adultery. They seem to have missed the fact that we (the people on the Earth) are the ones God has chosen to do his work here and now, here and then and here and in the days to come. Have you noticed the character and ministry of those God has chosen to do His amazing and Glorious will down the ages. Weakling, liar, a cheat and we are not out of Genesis yet, an adulterous and murderous King of whom God said "He is a man after my own heart!" And on, and on...... A scruffy smelly fisherman (who seemed to only ever open his mouth to change feet!) and me, and Todd Bentley, and may be even you. May God bless us all, and those who Judge and Criticise, that they may escape the trap of the Devil, who is rightly names the Accuser of the Brethren.

May God bless you and yours.

May he continue to bless the good fruit of 'His Outpouring' as it continues to gain momentum all over the world. Who will you use next Lord. My God bless them as well, as you demonstrate you outrageous Grace by using such fickle and flawed men for your Mighty Works. May those who have stumbled and even fallen, be raised up in your Good Time Lord, once again to reveal your Glory and even The Greater Glory which Todd so often spoke of.

Let him who is without sin.....

To God be the Glory!

With much love Alan Vincent
