Todd Bentley leaves his wife

Todd Bentley has broken up with his wife and has filed for legal separation. How could this happen if his heart was truly filled with the love of God? Whatever was happening at Lakeland obviously was pretty compatible with this kind of thing.

It has come out on freshfire . ca, the ministry site of Todd Bentley, the following information:

"We wish to acknowledge, however, that since our last statement from the Fresh Fire Board of Directors, we have discovered new information revealing that Todd Bentley has entered into an unhealthy relationship on an emotional level with a female member of his staff. In light of this new information and in consultation with his leaders and advisors, Todd Bentley has agreed to step down from his position on the Board of Directors and to refrain from all public ministry for a season to receive counsel in his personal life."

This information came after the information that Todd and his wife are currently heading for a divorce.

Why did he not rather bring a word of warning and rebuke privately instead, if he was really in tune with God? Were Wagner and his friends sent by God in all this? Were these guys even vaguely listening to the HOLY Spirit when they did all this, or were they motivated by the desire to look "big" and gain recognition? And if they LIE about it afterwards, claiming that they merely wanted to get Todd under control so they could "help him", when in fact they practically "coronated" him "King of Revivals", what does that say about the Americ
