daniel1985: I watched this....Im so happy for Todd...but sad as well, all the filthy gossip going around...Jesus I thank you for putting a hedge around Todd, Rick, Bill & Jack...protect them from all Christian curses out there that would try to hinder the restoration process....

laurarich: I got to watch this!!!!!

at 11:55AM 03/23/09

ladybug: Thanks Daniel1985 for that prayer. It hasn't been pleasent at times.

at 01:13PM 03/23/09

rachiebee: Love those men! They are such wonderful spiritual fathers to so many. Lord continue to bless them, give them supernatural grace, and protect them from the schemes of the enemy.

sverre: that was so good

at 01:50PM 03/23/09

jazz: soooo good.. Bill is amazing

at 02:23PM 03/23/09

ingamae: I have to just say this: I loved how at the beginning Bill just looked over at Todd(gosh i am tearing up...) and grabbed his arm and put his hand on his hand as if to say: It is going to be ok son... omg....seriously i cried.

Also I am in agreement with Daniel1985 prayer and declare the Blood shield of Jesus over the Johnsons, Bethel, Jack, Rick and Morningstar. AMEN!!

If we proclaim the blood of Jesus over ourselves daily are we protected from Christian or non Christian curses Momma Beni? How do we know if we are being cursed?

at 02:55PM 03/23/09

ingamae: forget the end thing i asked...I'm not impressed with the devil...i don't need an answer for that Momma Beni.

at 02:57PM 03/23/09

lynnette: Actually I noticed when Pastor Bill put his hand on Todd's arm too, to comfort him.

at 03:13PM 03/23/09

rachiebee: Yup, I saw it too. Sweet.

at 03:24PM 03/23/09

ransomedone: I watched this last night. All I can say is Thank you, Thank you, Thank you for publicly displaying what a covenant relationship is all about. Its easy to talk about love, but to demonstrate it like this is one of the most POWERFUL displays of the love of Jesus I have EVER seen.

at 04:48PM 03/23/09

lori: AWESOME!!!

at 05:03PM 03/23/09

lluvsjc: How can I watch it? What is the address?

at 07:49PM 03/23/09

endraske: Beni you and your husband are amazing and a true gift from God...You are people of such high honor and pureness...Thank you for modeling "Kingdom love" for younger couples like my huisband and I...we need forerunners like you guys to show us what it looks like to walk in love, grace, freedom, and holiness...I see you and Bill finishing your race STRONG and leaving an INCREDIBLE inheritance for our generation and all those to follow...we appreciate you and I see Papa smiling over you both!

at 09:27PM 03/23/09

Reggie: I don't really understand Tod B.

at 09:28PM 03/23/09

ashley_marie: Awesome!!! I have been praying for Todd/ his family, and the Bethel Family!! How great that the Church supports him as Christ does!! May God truly bless all of you! U all are truly amazing and great people of God! Beni and Bill You are amazing!!

daniel1985: @Ingamae: check out Dennis Cramer's book on Christian Curses...very insightful and helps you avoid falling into that pitfall...

at 10:14PM 03/23/09

amy2sing: Will this be linked on ibethel at all? I can't seem to get past 4:22 on the morningstar site for this one...

at 11:10PM 03/23/09

daniel1985: @amy2sing: if you are on facebook at all, it is traveling around alot on there...lots of different people posting it....

at 08:39AM 03/24/09

lilmama: I appreciate the wisdom Bill brought that A.) we HAVE to learn how to restore people, we can no longer exile, sweep under the rug or ignore. And B.) this was a public fall so it requires public restoration. So many times we see leaders fall in public, make mistakes, "blow their life up" but we rarely get to see them restored, week by week, on tv. They are setting a great precedence and standard by doing this.

ladybug: Thanks all. You are all great friends

rejoice578: Great interview just watched it tonight>

at 09:15PM 03/24/09

arealchange: The world is watching and watching these men love Todd has encouraged me so much.... as one who fell herself with a child before marriage and was harshly judged, and many times horribly rejected- God used a similar set of men in my life to restore, rebirth and help me to forgive... these men will be pivotal everytime Todd is ever tempted, they will be a memory forever in his heart.... as the leaders in our church were at that time, I knew I could always always count on them for one thing: unconditional love. They saw me thru many struggles, many hardships.. and knowing Todd has these kind of men to look to and the Body of Christ has THIS to see as a model is exactly.... EXACTLY what we all needed right now.... ( tears and rejoicing)

at 06:34AM 03/25/09

arealchange: ps... Bob Johnson taught me something very valuable about 4 years ago: "Always seek for the health of the Entire Body of Christ"..... this is living it out right here... yes it is..... and when you administer what is right, those who are 'sick' will reject.. those who are 'religious' might judge, but ultimately, ULTIMATELY the Victor got the VICTORY and the Body of Christ was built up and Jesus got the glory!!!!!! JESUS got the glory!

at 06:37AM 03/25/09

arealchange: pss..... and I meant the 'sick' as in sick in doctrine and beliefs... please forgive I just have to say this, that if you had rejected him and wrote about your rejecting him, you would have gotten applause from most of the Body of Christ... BUT because you chose to love Todd as Jesus loves Todd... That means you are now counted worthy to suffer just as Jesus did and GREAT GREAT GREAT is your reward in heaven Bill and Beni... GREAT.. :)

at 06:42AM 03/25/09

yana: we have watched that too... it is great... I praise God for such mature people as pastor Bill and Rick Joyner... They do not say that sin is ok, i could see it very clear... and i hope others would see it too... but God desires restoration for us... That is so encouraging... otherwise I and many others do not have any chance to be in the Kingdom...

at 11:39AM 03/25/09

abeleedy: @ Yana. Well said!

at 02:45PM 03/25/09

pandaray: I'm sure its really hard for Todd Bently to go through this in front of everyone. You couldn't ask for a better people than Bill Johnson and Rick Joyner to help him through the process. This is going to help so many people believers and non-believers. It's a good time for the church to get healed of this. I speak blessing and covering of the whole process.

at 06:55PM 03/25/09

xencounters: I have a picture up of Todd that shows the attitude of the church. You might find it amusing.

I believe in restoration. I think the boy is really broke and needs to be fixed, but I know that God ain't done with him yet.

at 02:38AM 03/26/09

glorywarrior: I am so glad Bill has stood by Todd. I am sure of this one thing, humility is the door for restoration of all things as the Lord demonstrated that to us already. What has just been birthed is huge! This is a marked day!

at 10:35AM 03/26/09

jenjohnston: Oh, I'll have to check this out later. My husband & I were just saying 2 days ago we had both been thinking about Todd and wondering how he was doing.
