Terry,

Hear the word of the Lord. "Now, gird up your loins and arise, and speak to them all which I commanded you. Do not be dismayed before them, or I will dismay you before them. Now behold, I have made you today as a fortified city and as a pillar of iron and as walls of bronze against the whole land, to the kings of Judah, to its princes, to its priests and to the people of the land. They will fight against you, but they will not overcome you, for I am with you to deliver you, 'declares the Lord.'"

Terry, you have an assignment from God. You have repented before Him and your family. That's all that matters. When King David committed adultery God did not remove him from the kingship. David suffered the loss of the child, however, God blessed him with the wisest man that ever lived, Solomon. Don't condemn yourself any longer and don't remove yourself indefinitely. Your most powerful worship will come through this misfortune. Pick up your loins and bless the hurting world through the gift that God has given you. It is worse to cast aside God's gift than the sin itself.

It's understandable that you need time, however, don't tell us "as to if or when I will return to ministry." That is exactly what the evil one desires. Never mind those who are caught up in their legalisc ways. I pity the man who threw away your CD's. What if God were to throw us away everytime we sin? Please, don't doubt yourself. You still have many people, like myself, who recognize the spirit behind the music. If secular musicians can write some of the most powerful songs through personal affliction how much more can a worshipper write some of the most powerful worship songs through the Spirit of the Lord?

In conclusion, "Do not gloat over me, my enemy! Though I have fallen, I will rise. Though I sit in darkness, the Lord will be my Light." (Micah 7:8)

Stay encouraged my brother.

Blessings

MLL

DEAR TERRY,

SO SORRY TO HEAR OF YOUR SITUATION. I'M PRAYING FOR YOU AND GRETA.

I'VE BEEN GREATLY BLESSED BY YOUR MINISTRY, ATTENDED WORSHIP SERVICES YOU'VE LED AND AM ON YOUR MAILING LIST. I WAS LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING YOU AT MADISON SQUARE GARDEN WHEN YOUR APPEARANCE WAS CANCELED. NOW I KNOW WHY.

YOU HAVE SUCH AN ANNOINTING TO BRING PEOPLE INTO GOD'S PRESENCE, IT'S NOT SURPRISING THE ENEMY HAS TARGETED YOU, ESPECIALLY IN THESE LAST DAYS.

I NEVER WRITE ON BLOGS...I'M WRITING TO ENCOURAGE YOU BY PARAPHRASING ONE OF YOUR OWN SONGS "GOD DOES MIRACLES SO GREAT."

GOD WANTS TO RESTORE YOU TO HIMSELF AND TO YOUR MARRIAGE. NOTHING IS TOO DIFFICULT FOR HIM. WE KNOW THAT GOD CAUSES ALL THINGS TO WORK FOR GOOD FOR THOSE WHO LOVE HIM AND ARE CALLED ACCORDING TO HIS PURPOSES. THIS IS YOU AND GRETA.

SOME OF THE GREATEST SAINTS FELL INTO SIN, REPENTED AND WERE THEN USED MIGHTILY BY GOD. DON'T BELIEVE THE ENEMY TELLING YOU THAT YOUR MINISTRY IS FINISHED. GOD IS MORE THAN ABLE TO GIVE YOU BEAUTY FOR ASHES.

TO GRETA, I WANT TO ENCOURAGE YOU, TOO. GOD USED A SIMILAR CRISIS IN MY MARRIAGE 10 YEARS AGO FOR A GREATER GOOD:MY SALVATION AND THE SALVATION OF MANY OTHERS IN MY FAMILY. YEARS LATER, WHEN I WENT THROUGH BREAST CANCER, I KNEW GOD WOULD TAKE ME THROUGH IT AS HE HAD NURTURED ME THROUGH THE CRISIS IN MY MARRIAGE.

GOD IS GOOD AND IS A GOD OF RESTORATION AND NEW BEGINNINGS. KEEP YOUR EYES ON JESUS AND ASK HIM TO HELP YOU TO FORGIVE TERRY. FORGIVENESS IS A CHOICE.GOD CAN GIVE YOU THE GRACE TO ACCOMPLISH IT. REST IN THE COMFORT AND BLESSED ASSURANCE OF THE LORD--HE THE HEALER OF EVERYTHING,INCLUDING MARRIAGES.

TERRY AND GRETA, PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF I CAN HELP EITHER OR BOTH OF YOU IN ANY WAY. I'M PRAYING FOR YOU WITH THOUSANDS OF OTHERS AND THE HOLY SPIRIT HIMSELF, WHO IS INTERCEDING, CRYING OUT IN GROANS FOR YOU.

IN HIS LOVE,

JO ANN ASCIUTTO

Terry, I am just finding out you step down from ministry, my heart broke for you when I found out. That day while I was doing my driving job, I cried to the Father for you and your family.There is nothing we can do to remove the Love our Heavenly Father has for us. The anointing of worship the Lord has put on your life is powerful, and the enemy knows it. Your anointed music from Heaven has saved, healed and delivered lives all over the world. I know the Lord is going to restore your heart as he did for David as he prayed, restore unto me the joy of thy salvation.My sister would always tell me that my music was anointed like Terry"s , its like when we get ready to minister we are already in His Presence. The Glory of God falls so heavily in worship.My brother, be encouraged in the Lord. I don"t know you personally, but the Heavenly music that flows from out of you has bonded us together. I can"t wait to see how God is going to use you in 2009. Arise like an eagle in 2009 for His Glory!!!!!!!! Praises to God in the Highest. I hope you get to read this Terry.

Terry Beloved of the Lord, you are loved by God more than you know. Hebrews chapter 10 verese 32 to 35 applies to your situation. You are being attacked because you have caused the Word of Gd to become a shining Light into the hearts of men.the Glory of God in the later time will be greater than the last one. separate yourself unto God who forgives continually and pray for your wife Greta and cry out for your children, they hurt the most ....I look forward to your next Album, get up and sing Terry, there is no time or need for you to waste beleiving in the lie of the enemy...do not loose your joy.....get up in Jeus Nae, wipe yourself and pick up the microphone and do what you do best for God...remember, you are not God, you live on this side of heaven and we all fail on a daily basis....get up Terry..you hear me !! I am talking to you...get up I say and sing...put the Devil t shame and flight.....in Jeus Name.......we all love you....I wish you knew what all of us are hiding under the blood of Jesus daily...

Dear Brother Terry,

Your songs have ministered to me even until now. I and my wife love to listen to your songs over and over again. I am praying that you will be restored to the calling and gifting that God has for you. I am looking forward to hear you lead God's people again into His very presence with your new songs.

I will always pray for you as i have always been.

I am short of words. Only God knows how much He used Terry's music to draw me closer to Himself. Our precious Father, have compassion on us all and deliver our precious brother Terry and his family through this dificult time. devil, touch no the annointed of the Lord, in Jesus' mighty name, Amen.

Hi Terry, it is with a deep and a heart felt pain to write this to you. One thing i want you to know is that, God sees your heart that deep within you, you wouldn't do what you did but, the devil was just out there to swift you. And that is the worst he can do. So i want you to find a place in your heart to forgive yourself and come back to the ministry, cos' coming back to the ministry is the only way God can fulfil his purpose for your life, our perfect example is David. Right after David repented, he put up his pen and wrote one of the deepest heart felt Psalm (Psalm 51: 10-17. This Psalm might be one of the Psalms that brought David closer to God. Perhaps, God might want you to come a little closer to Him that is why it all happened this way. So please come back to ministry in order to put the devil to shame and let God take the glory. The LORD will help you as you take this decision. May the LORD create in you a clean heart and renew the right spirit within you. Amen. I continue to pray for you. Be blessed.
Gideon Francis.

Dear Terry,

I can only echo the many words and sentiments I have spent the last hour at work reading and weeping over. All I know is that we all have sinned and come short of the glory of God, but God loves us still and his gifts and callings are without repentance. I too, am a worship leader. In 2008, my family experienced the hardest trials and tribulation we have ever experienced. Not only was my marriage in jeopardy, I was ready to walk away from God because I felt He had walked away from me. Your music and the anointing that God placed on it helped me to remember the faithfulness of our Father. His love, compassion and forgiveness is beyond human comprehension. I pray that you allow God to remind you who He is and that you take comfort in knowing that you are loved by so many people. Because I am confident that your greatest days are ahead of you, I rejoice in knowing that this experience will bring you closer to our Father and the the oil that God is storing up as a result of you being pressed and crushed will yeild an even greater anointing to heal, set free, and usher God's people into His presence.

I pray that God will keep you and your wife Greta and look forward to rejoicing over the testimony to come.

You are in my prayers. I play you songs over and over. I love to worship with the freedom of the spirit they bring. Remember David's prayer, wash me oh God and I shall be clean. All have sinned, but the Grace of God is still extended to us. Remember the father was looking and waiting for His Son to come home and he welcomed him with open arms. The mercy of God calls us to repentence. Come before it is too late? And I give you this Word from the Spirit of The Lord, COME!
