A righteous man falls seven times but the Lord raises him up.the good work that the Lord begun in you He will bring it to the end.We all fall down sometimes but we should not allow the devil to hold us down instead we should run back in true repentance and God in His abounding mercy will gladly embrace us.May the Lord quicken you and anoint you once more.

Dear Terry & Greta:
As a Pastor, I recently had a 4-by-pass heart operation that I didn't even know that I would have.
When one hospital couldn't help me, they flew me by helicopter to where the emergency surgery was done.
The ONLY THING that got me through the LONG RECOVERY was putting GOD'S WORD in my ears...and listening to anointed Music...of you, Terry.
My Wife, Kim made sure the MP3 player was loaded...and I overdosed on GREAT ANOINTED WORSHIP...nothing else worked!
Terry, a huge trap was set for you. Because "hell" hates you! And the trap has been set to include your entire family.
The enemy didn't tell you how sad it would be and the fall-out, bitterness, lonliness and pain it would cause.
The weight of sin can't be broken anywhere else...but by the ANOINTING of the HOLY SPIRIT.
I cried very hard when I got the news that you resigned. I wept when I heard that you left your home and decided to "walk away."
Terry, where will you go in this world that GOD is not there? What plane will get off of...and what "personal" island will you be on that GOD is not there?
The ANOINTING is given to those that GOD has chosen to USE.
Terry, the "Call" on your life is one that GOD says, "...is without repentence." That means GOD doesn't have to repent that he chose you.
Don't be like the prodigal and have to wake up in a Pig Pen before you come to your senses...come home now! Turn around right now...and run home!
I have never met you...but I would sure believe that Greta would have the door wide open for you to come home.
The very thing that caused satan to fall was his pride...and pride won't let anyone repent...Terry...get on your knees...and cry out to GOD and come home.
Greta...I'm praying for you!
Terry...I'm declaring to the Anointing in you...to be stirred up...and come alive in JESUS NAME, greater
now...than any other time in your life!

...I just now learned about Terry...how very sad I am that so many have been taken down by the stronghold spirit of lust...why is it that children of the Lord will walk away from covanant with their spouse and God's calling for something which is temporary and not eternal...my heart grieves...we need to get our eyes, hopes and expectations off of man and back on God...HE WILL NOT FAIL...

Father, because of who You are I give You glory and praise, and Father in the name of Jesus I thank You because I know that You are a forgiving God and that You will forgive Terry and restore him to the faith for he is one of Your anointed praise and worship leaders who has been called to lead the body of Christ into Your presence through anointed worship music.
Spirit of the living God Fall Fresh on Terry right now
wherever he may be.

Dear Greta,
I have been married for over 20 years and in May of this year, I separated from my husband. I used the song "You're my Glory and the Lifter of My Head" many tearful nights to see me through. Isn't life funny that while I am using this song to get through my own marriage breakup Terry is having an affair and your marriage is breaking down at the same time. My heart was so sad at my loss and at night I would play this CD over and over and think, wow, I bet it would be wonderful to be married to a man like this, someone so sensitive to the Holy Spirit he must be an awesome husband. Well, I have to say if I speak the truth in my heart I am very disappointed and very angry at Terry. Yes, we all fail that's a fact but what makes me so angry and what I find most disappointing is that he has chosen to walk away from the counseling and the reconciliation process according to Greta's statement above. My husband also opted out of the reconciliation and counseling process choosing to do his own thing and go his own way. Everyone has been busy praying for Terry and God has answered those prayers because it certainly seems Greta is more than willing to forgive him as she is trying to reconcile despite his marital unfaithfulness. That's mercy Terry, that's grace, that's undeserved. That's answered prayer. What has Terry done with that mercy extended him? What has Terry done with the heart of his wife who was willing to stay the course? I will be praying for you Greta as you have to face the heart pain and the emotional pain of such rejection. God will be there for us to be our husband and to romance us and to love us when we feel so unlovable. God bless you as he keeps you in his provision and care, the Faithful One.

Tammy, I think you might be missing an important fact in all of this, yes it is a blessing to Terry that his wife has forgiven him what a wise women she is.You see she is set free and able to heal by obeying the word and will be able to fufill the plan God has for her life by forgiving him and able to be forgiven for any of her sins. Yes that is Gods order we must forgive so that we may be forgiven.Also why would she want to interrupt her walk with the LORD by stating in unforgiveness and passing that on to her sons? The only one who wants anyone to persecute Terry is Satan.Yes he did a very wrong thing ,God has given us the option of repentance.Thank you GOD!If you think satan is done with Terry you are wrong,he is working in the body of christ tring to make christians be judgmental,angry and unforgiving,and probably lying to Terry that people will never forget or your such a looser etc.We dont know what he is feeling but we do know our Father tells us when you see a brother in trouble,reach a hand to him not kick him down.Do we remember what satans purpose is , only to steal kill and destroy.You mentioned how much his music blessed you , I have a questio for all of you who are being angry about this,as you were blessed by this Mans ministry did you pray for him like THE WORD TELLS US WE SHOULD BE HOLDING UP THE PEOPLE IN MINISTRY or did you all just take the gift Terry was giving ?We all need to check ourselves , as you are judging him you are falling into sin yourselves.Come on people,God says I have made you wise to the wiles of the Devil , lets start acting wise.AND he also says if any lack wisdom ask and it will be given.If we remain angry when these things happen we are no different then the world .This is so saddening to my heart cant the body of christ start doing it Gods way???God bless all of us.

Thank you dear Canadian, from another Canadian. I also am very disappointed and actually almost feel ill at this news. Thank you for putting it in perspective....everyone who wrote that we are human, and God is a forgiving God, and we are not perfect. that is very true........however you are overlooking what Mrs. Macalmon stated in the announcement above.....Terry has CHOSEN to walk away from counselling, from his marriage, from his wife and children and from his ministry......wake up people, praise God that he is always looking for the prodigal son to come home, that he never leaves nor forsakes us, that His mercies endure forever, from generation to generation but remember people, God will not be mocked either, He does not wink at sin, and He does not lie. He tell us "His Grace is Sufficient" for us. He is a gentleman, He does not force us. Prayers go out for Terry, and his wife and especially his children and for all those of the faith who are hurting at this time....when a member of the "family" is hurting we are all hurting. His Grace is Sufficient.

Dear Terry,
You know the temple of the Lord can be desecrated and a man of sin sits on it but the good news is that the lord will slay him by the breath of this spirit. Be encouraged in the Lord for he will not chase away those that come to him in true repentance. Those that you touched through your music love you and so does your creator.

God is faithful. I agree with u. Let us continue to pray for Terry. I used to travel to Colorado Springs for worship services. I know HE is able more than able. Watch and pray, and I say it again Watch!

Let's be careful about where anger is directed. Galatians 6:1 says, "Brothers, if someone is caught in a sin, you who are spiritual should restore him gently. But watch yourself, or you also may be tempted." Also, remember that when someone sins (although we may feel the result of the act) sin is against God. The bible also says in 1 John 1:8 "If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. 9If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. 10If we claim we have not sinned, we make him out to be a liar and his word has no place in our lives." This certainly is not a ticket to do whatever we feel, but we ALL have something that is inconvenient to our walk in Christ. If God gave up on us for messing up - Heaven would be empty (with the exception of elders, heavenly hosts, etc.) "If you, O LORD, kept a record of sins, O Lord, who could stand?" - Psalm 130:3

Jesus came to restore all mankind to God. I am praying and thanking God for the restoration of the MacAlmon family. The Enemy particulary hates worship leaders - those who possess the job he had when he was Lucifer. This attack that the Enemy meant for destruction/harm will be to God's glory and be used for the saving of many souls. God knew of this day long before He first poured out His annointing on Terry(and He is too wise to be mistaken). God's mercy endures forever and Terry will have an even clearer understanding of how long, deep, high and wide the love of God is.

You are so right. God knew and poured out His love and His gift that have lifted up so many of us. I still buy and give to others the wonderful CD's he made while under the annointing of the Holy Spirit. I pray I will once again be able to purchase new songs that Terry puts forth when he returns with his gift for the glory of the Lord. I only hope and pray he knows how much he is missed and runs back to His Lord quickly. Yes, we have all sinned and the Lord said, "let he who is without sin, cast the first stone."
