Paul, the most interesting comment made in the article was this one “the annointing can be addictive”. That really struck me because it reminded me of the rush of physical adrenaline we also can become addicted to.

There is a tendency to feel that God cannot move without us……

This whole story has disturbed me deeply for many reasons but perhaps because it reminds me so much of myself and my refusal to take a break when I needed to.

I’ll be fine it’s my husband that I’m most definately worried about this Christmas. He stayed home to deal with the Christmas Eve service on Wednesday night and then he’s leaving at the crack of dawn to drive 6 hours to catch a flight that will get him to Whitehorse, Yukon where we (me and the kids) are. He should get here around midnight on Christmas Day and that’s only if there are no travel delays because of snow and pretty much the worst weather we’ve seen in a very long time. I have no idea what we were thinking when we planned our Christmas this year. I think the first few days of his “vacation” will be spent in a zombie like state. Crazy. We will not be doing this again:)

[...] but it’s true for most of us in ministry leadership. It’s called Adrenal Letdown, and you can read a little more about it here. I’ve found it very freeing to be honest with myself and others about it. I fought it for too [...]

Thank you for being Honest,
I thank you for your honesty and sharing your pride with others, that I do know every human being in this world struggles with our natural instincts for survival; whatever degree that may be. I am working on myself everyday and seeking my faith in Jesus Christ to help me overcome temptation, because he defeated temptation so that he could secure us, by telling us to rely on him and don’t beat yourselfs up if you fall short of the Glory of God, get up, dust off and move on for his glory and not ours. I do know that according to his word their will be many so called christians who will not enter into the kingdom of God, because of their “PRIDE’, they will say Lord, Lord, haven’t I rebuked demons in your name, haven’t I did this and that , and God will say, I never knew you enter into outer darkness, that’s “HELL’.
I remind myself of my motives and that I will be honest enough to dig deep and see the real deal.

Praise the Lord Jesus Christ,

Thank you Pastor Wayne Cordeiro for being such an inspiration to many. I have loved your simplicity of the word of God for many years and it still astounds me that we have alot in common. For myself, it is letting go of being so obsessed with people pleasing that it has been my life journey to show myself approved my the word of God and his wisdom. He said in his word that we would be persecuted for righteousness sake and especially in this time and age it is very important for me to remind myself, that I can’t save the whole world; but that through Jesus Christ in me I can do all things through Christ who loves me and has given me a vision to serve him by serving others. I can understand being burnt out, its the same for me, when I’m out there in the mission fields helping others and it gets overwhelming and I struggle with “am I doing enough”. Do I have the passion of Christ in me to overcome all things through him?
I need to go in and through him as well as he goes in and through me, I realize that I appreciate men and women of God who give me the added strength, by sharing their heart felt struggles with myself and others of your love for Christ, who has stated in his word that he was tempted so he can succor them who are tempted also. As you go through your healing process and return to the ministry that the Lord God has ordained you and many others and continues to build up others for his glory. I thank him for all of you who stand at the fore front and share the good news of Jesus Christ with so many around the world and moves us into the passion of Christ Jesus.

God Bless and keep you,
Your Sister in Christ Jesus,
Juanita L. Cabral

Hi Paul,
I am so glad that you are addressing these issues with the body of Christ. It is so important. I like the thought provoking question at the end. Most supernatural things many times seem so natural that we can miss them. I believe that God uses us in supernatural ways almost every day. Most of the time we just don’t know that He is, (probably ego related) because the work is being done in a person’s heart and the fruit is not produce right away. Supernatural manifestations of the Holy Spirit that is quite different. I believe if we are connected and walking with Jesus the way we should be then we know we are dust and that the manifestation of the Spirit has nothing to do with us and everything to do with God. I am sure that the accolades that come from the people during such movements have got to be difficult not to absorb causing pride to rise up. I have been praying for Todd Bentley that true repentance would be in his heart and that he would confess publicly his offense to the Lord and the body of Christ. Keep up the good work Paul. It is a blessing. Veronica Joy
