Shock within the church

Over the last weeks, I've heard about 2 big shocks within the Christian community. The first, is Todd Bentley, from Fresh Fire Ministries. The news came straight from the Board Of Directors, and briefly announced Todd's step down from ministry for a season, due to his "unhealthy emotional relationship" with a female member of his staff.

The second... the second hits far closer to home.

Planetshakers City Church. Its not MY church, but it IS where my sister has attended for several years now. Over the past 2 years, members of the church, the community, and indeed Christians the world over have been praying and praying for Pr Mike Guglielmucci. It was announced the Mike was suffering from cancer, that it was incurable... and the Christian world, especially those of us here in Aus, have watched and prayed as he went through treatment.

It came out in an email last night, that Mike Guglielmucci was not suffering from cancer, and never has been. There was no illness, no treatment, and no miraculous healing... and people are angry. People are shocked and hurt, and very confused...

Personally, I'm concerned for the friends I have at PS. I'm concerned for my sister and her friends. And I'm curious to know how much of WHAT is true, and what else is behind this. Because there has to be more.

The evil one is at work... he is alive, and its only with God's help, with the prayers and FAITH of millions, that he can be defeated.

I pray... I pray that we can band together as brothers and sisters in Christ... that through prayer, we can support the Guglielmucci family. That through prayer, and through the LOVE God gave us, that we can support the people affected by this shocking news.

Romans 5:8 says: "And God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us."

God didn't judge or condemn us.. so let us show that love to Mike Guglielmucci now. Let us join together to see him become one with Christ again.

And let us not forget, that despite the downfall of a well-known healing evangelist, the healing miracles of our Lord, Jesus Christ, are REAL, and continue to happen each and every day. And let us continue to pray... for God Reigns. Always.
