One can only pray earnestly that God restore a worship minister of Terry Mc Almon's status. I recieve this with great shock, but trusting that he will forgive himself and allow the Holy Spirit to carryout a deep workof restoration in him.

Men like him should have known better the scope of their calling goes the immediate location or local congregation.

I pray that God's gracious countenance and overflowing mercy will race him up in a glorious restoration.

I have been to several of Terry's worship festivals and all I can say is that this was/is a TERRIBLE attack on him and his family and ministry. The annointing and presence of the Holy Spirit was very strong. We can only remember that none of us are beyond the attacks of satan and to always keep our guards up and our shields and swords ready. Lets keep Terry and his family in our prayers. They need it. Love will bring him back. Lets not kill our brother with words of hate and judgement. God is LOVE.

I pray for your total restoration in Christ Jesus, His blood is still strong to cleanse you and make you whole and complete lacking nothing. There is a devil loose! but we have the victory in Christ! God bless you all.

i believe that his ministry is a gift from God, and that the enemy will try to attack it in many forms. It (he) has touched so many souls internationally its like being seated in heavenly places. You have done the right thing at this time seeking the Lord as David did in the bible. I know God will restore. Its a finish work. Look to the cross. Yes i feel it for your wife, the hurt and shame, but God forgives us all our tresspassess as we forgive those who tresspass against us (including our most nearest and dearest, yes even husbands) so it will take time to heal. Remember all the good it will outweight the bad. keep your eyes on Jesus dont let the devil win this, he is the author of divorce. Pray, cry, shout whatever but hold to God's unchanging hand/ Is there anything to hard for the Lord??? Love is the strongest weapon there is, use it.

Posted by Nico in uk @ 17:30 on Sep 19 2008

I was so shocked to find out the sad news.
But thank God for His love never fails, His promises are Yes and Amen,He is the AMEN and the everlasting father.
David was a mighty man of valor,yet He failed.
Terry the Lord is saying Come back, i still Love you, my anointing will lift you up, psalm 27:10 ,my Glory will be your rear guard.
OOhhh,thank God for His supranatural love and grace.Had it not be for Him we would be gone long ago.
Terry we love you, i love you, we sing your corruses in the church , I know that , that Sprit that rased Jesus from death lives inside of you, i Know by the Spirit of almighty God that there is still fire inside of you that needs reignited.
We are waithing for you brother, we are waithing for So God too.
Look to how much people of Israel will wrong before God ,God still loved them with all His heart, God would not distroy them be cause He loved them.
Come back, God is more than willing and able to forgive and restore to the full.
In Jesus name you will come out of this and walk again.
May the new covenant of the Son be revieled to you an a new and powerful way.
God bless you

Terry has a special anointing from God that heals the soul of many who listen to his tape.
Please help me tell Terry and his wife Greta that we still love them, we know they are human and that they can only do all things including forgiving one another through Christ who strengthens them. Let all the christians pray for this family and particularly against divorce. Them have come a long way together and canot allow Satan to have his Way.
May God's name be praised and worshipped for ever

Terry I dont know you but your album i came to worship you tremendously blessed me at a very low point in my life..The prescence of God came & I just wept & wept..God is a God of Restoration/Reconciliation & it is not his heart that your marriage should fail. God can bring good out of this beyond anything that you or I could ever imagine. Keep yourself close to God/Keep seeking His Face..I will pray for you brother..You will overcome & be Victorious in Jesus` Name Amen.

A friend in a prayer group gave each of us a copy of"I came to Worship You" several years ago. Each of us wept as we separately listened at home. I have bought and given copies to people. Just last week a lady with whom I shared his music wrote me telling how it met a deep need in her life. I wept when I heard of his fall, but I still listen to the anointed music. I have prayed for him with others who worship with his music. His name is in my prayer journal, and I have asked God which scriptures to pray over him. God is in the business of restoring his children.

Hi Terry...

I am familiar with your song "Prepare Ye The Way"...we play your music during prayer services in my church here in Sharon, Massachusetts.
I too am involved in Music Ministry and I too struggle with temptation all the time. I am in no place to ever point a finger at you for your sin, because the other 4 are pointing back at me!
I pray that you will find forgiveness, restoration and healing in your life. Oftentimes these struggles in our lives go back to childhood. Such is the case with me, I have been struggling for 36 years.
I pray that you will find God's grace, love, and mercy anew. And remember, it's not your ministry that makes you valuable in the sight of God, it is you as a person! You are just as loved now as the moment you were saved. Always remember that...God bless you!

Terry, I still love you and your anointed music and your heart of worship. I am listening everyday to your music in my car. And I will bless you and your family every time I will hear your voice.
I'm sure you will come back even with more maturity and anointing. You will sing even deeper about the cross and grace. Don't give up! Your wife and sons need you! And we all need His Grace everyday.
Be strong!

Terry I was just telling the brother who informed me of what happened to you and we even prayed the same time for you and your wife and family. God is on the throne and the gifts and callings of God are without repentance. God's call is still on your life, repent and turn away from from whatever happened to you. You are going to come back full of the Holy Ghost and still bless millions. Your sons will never die they will still bless our hearts and our time of worship with the Lord..We love you Terry and will not cease to keep you up in prayer. Hurry and return to the call of God on your life. Pastor Clarke

Dear Terry,
I just heard about the attack of the enemy of our souls on your ministry, God will abundantly pardon and restore you with a greater anointing. For your shame you shall have double says the LORD (Isaiah 61:7).
You did not hide your sin but confessed and repented (Prov 28:13, 1 Jn 2:1-2) the LORD says you shall have mercy. Your worship songs have inspired my worship of the FATHER and millions all over the world.
Rise up Terry for God is your strength.
The LORD bless and restore your marriage and ministry in Jesus mighty name, Amen.

Give me a break people! The devil didn't make him do it! He did this, knowing that his sexual urge was more important than his wife, his kids, and his ministry, and his GOD! Look at Joseph in the Bible. He ran from sexual immorality! Don't tell me this was just an "attack of the enemy." I'd like to know who the woman is. She is just as guilty for ruining a family, as she is of enticing Terry with lust in the first place! These people do need to be exposed and corrected by the church as the Word says. I feel betrayed and angry! I loved his music. They CD's I spent money on are now in the trash!!

Posted by Mathew Thomas in Bangalore India @ 08:19 on Oct 13 2008

Dear Terry,
No one is going to think any less of you. All of us have failed in big or small ways; but we have a Father we can go back to and lean on. I was introduced to your ministries by a friend of mine. When my dad was on his death bed and I plugged your song " You are my dream come true.. with eyes for only You.." I could see life twinkling on his close to lifeless face. He passed away a little later, but those songs still keep me loving my God better and better rather than asking God questions like "Why Lord"?
Restoration is for sure, and I pray that you will soon find the forgiveness of God and the mind of a GREAT DAD in Him. We are praying for you in our cell meetings as well. Isaiah 54:7-8... With Greater mercies I will gather you.
Your struggle is just very small compared to the impact this ministry has brought and will bring to many many lonely and wounded souls.
God Bless you Terry!! Don't stop to it, write more love songs and heal many in need ...till we awake in His Likeness.
God Bless,
Mathew

Dear Terry,
I've just read that you resigned from your ministry and I feel really sad.
I'll pray for strength for you and your family.
Your music remains pure and while listening to it the annointing of the Holy Spirit is still there.
God has given you a great gift as a worshipleader and I'm sure you'll be back one day .
Your coming out and the resignement show courage and honesty, you remind me of David.

Dear Terry, I am ferverently praying for you everyday. As one who failed the Lord in this way and ran from God, I say He is is faithful to you and He will complete the work He began in you. There is no peace outside of complete surrender once you have known Him, nor is there any joy without the giving up your life to Him. I was divorced for 2 years after I left my husband, and the pain of dissapointing MY LORD never left me...in complete obedience I remarried my husband 30 years ago. God has fully restored me and our marriage, and I have never regreted it for a day. I have continued to minister in many countries, and God has greatly blessed me. May your heart receive His Grace this day, and know that we love you deeply dear brother, and Greta thank you for forgiving and for loving Terry inspite of his weakness. May the Lord be your reward for your faithfulness to Him!!!!

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.

Posted by chosen4God in Brooklyn, N.Y. @ 03:31 on Oct 15 2008

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

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.

Posted by Tammy in Canada @ 07:47 on Oct 17 2008

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.

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

Posted by Pastor Mark Arnold in Ohio @ 21:37 on Oct 24 2008

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!

Pastor Mark Arnold

I do not know how far this is true as I hail from India.
If at all something bad has happened, there is still hope for restoration. Dear r, I'm no one to tell you. But do not leave His ministry which he has bestowed upon you. Just reconcile... His arms are wide open to accept you. Still can't believe this... Is this really true. I am listening to WHAT A FRIEND I'VE FOUND sung by you. We really feel the anointing and power of your worship. Don't be disheartend. God will definitely lift u up. Consider David's example.... We've a compassionate father. expect more songs of worship to God very very soon....... GOOD LUCK

Dearest Terry

We have all sinned. You are so special to the Holy Spirit and He understands your pain. You are blessed by God Himself with a Godly talent. Artistic, talented people like yourself feel pain and regret much deeper since you are so in tune with the Holy Spirit. I know you feel that you cannot continue with worshipping services right now and i respect you for that since it only shows how honest you are. But i do have news for you! You are loved my beautiful friend and brother in Christ! You are loved. If only i could be there with you to pray with you but i'll pray anyway! You have not fallen Terry, you were tricked and misled by the one whose dreams couldnt materialise.... the enemy. He couldnt stand the fact that throught you, Terry, The Holy Spirit touched peoples lives! His insane jealousy and hatred for everything pure and everyone in service to our Lord Jesus Christ was also aimed at you. Let your light shine again in this dark world as you bless us with your remarkable Godly talent. If we are to Worship in Spirit in Truth then NO HONEST GOD FEARING and SPIRIT FILLED FOLLOWER OF JESUS will ever point a finger. While His Grace is suffient for us let none of us forget: We too were lost but now we are founded in Christ! Terry, you are in my prayers and remember, He's waiting for you to lead us once again in Spirit Filled Worship! He loves you.

With love in Jesus
Your friend

Terry, your music has blessed me and many others. When I first became a Spirit-Filled Christian 2 years ago, I ran into your music after searching for Holy Music. I then gave "Live Worship" to a co-worker and she spread it like fire. Co-workers backslidden and the like were blessed and in tears. Please do spirtitual warfare against the principalities in high places. I listen to your music and videos and continue to spread your Annointed Worship Music; when the right time permits. I also continue to check your website to see if your are back. GOD (Yahweh) has truly given you a gift to minister to people around the world.

Posted by Mary in Cleveland, TN @ 15:15 on Nov 10 2008

Terry, My ex-husband and I were in the pastoral ministry for 18 years. We allowed Satan to bring divorce after 23 years of marriage and 3 beautiful children. At the time, it seemed we could not "help ourselves"...but I can tell you, life did not get better and I would give anything if we had not divorced. It is too late now, as we both are remarried. It would have been so much better if we had worked it out. And our children and grandchildren would have been so much better off, too. That is the VERY sad part.
I pray you DO NOT DIVORCE. Please! Maybe separation for awhile...but, please, DON'T DIVORCE!

Dear Terry & Gretha:
I am a missionary and was introduced to your music in China by a fellow missionary.
We had been doing minissary work for several days and I walked one day into my friends apartment in China and your music was playing. It was like walking out of a back hole (China) into a beautiful santuary. The Spirit of the Lord lifted me that day into the spirit and I begin to rejoice in His presnece. It was glorious!
Since God is still on the throne and He is still speaking to men, He will do the same for you and your lovely wife. We love you and will pray for you every day until you are restored to His fullness. This is not about your music Terry, this is about God' love for you and your family. God is married to the backslider. Act slowly and carefully! We love you And are praying for you both!
Blessings,

Terry and Greta, God hates divorce! Think of your children and wait on the Lord. Children all always the broken pieces when a home falls apart. Don't let the enemy come in like a flood and destroy your home.
Terry, humble yourself under the mighty hand of God and He will lift you up...in honor.
May he who is faithful restore you to faithfulness.

Posted by Greg Dotson in Paris,Ky @ 21:45 on Nov 17 2008

The enemy came to kill,steal and destroy. This is the weakness the devil found in you. King David had a similar problem. GOD sent Nathan with a message to him. You have already made a covenant before GOD. Close the door to the deciver, and make it right with your wife and you shall find forgiveness! You are just waisting time with this distraction that the enemy has sent! Open your eyes to see that he has removed you from your ministry and from your family already. Wake Up! Before its too late. (same old trick, its just a diffrent time!)

Posted by ellen in CA @ 03:07 on Nov 18 2008

I am beyond shocked and numb. Of all people, I never would have expected Terry to commit adultery. Or rather, I guess I'm shocked that he has walked away from his family even after counseling. God does restore and forgive repentant souls, but for Terry to harden his heart and go his own way is complete selfishness. Shame on you Terry! Repent now while you have time. Tomorrow may be too late.

Posted by Wong in Vancouver @ 05:39 on Nov 21 2008

Dear God
I pray that Terry MacAlmon will repent and turn back to You, to his wife and family. I pray that Your love will envelope Terry at this time. Put Your Cross between Terry and that other woman and sever the soul tie between them. Set Terry free to be faithful to his wife. Your word said that if we confess our sins, God is faithful and just and will forgive us and cleanse us from all unrighteousness. Help Terry to be convicted and repent and receive your forgiveness. Draw Terry back to Yourself and to his wife and family and help him to grow strong spiritually again. Help him and his wife to work on the marriage. God, please restore their marriage as they forgive each other as You have forgiven them. Help Terry forgive himself and make right with YOU and with his wife.
In Jesus Name I pray, Amen!

Oh Terry, I love your music. You're a great worshipper, but true worshippers worship in spirit and in truth. The flesh is just dust. I try to remind myself of that everyday.

I only recently came upon Terry's music having discovered it being played at a prayer meeting. I was blown away and immediately bought all his cd's and have played them throughout my day and late night I, of course, was shocked to find out that he walked away from his family and failed counseling especially after seeing and hearing his anointed ministry. I find solace in that David was in a similar situation of infidelity and repented mightily and hope and pray that Terry will follow the same path because he definitely was touched by God to reach people with his glorious sounds from heaven. My heart hangs so heavy, so many of our elect are being pulled down by the lusts of this earth. It is all prophetic that this will happen in the end times but in some people it just is not as evident as the flagrant preachers who preach a posterity gospel, name and claim it! They are so obvious, but Terry was so special and not ostentatious to say the least.

Terry, many have already wrote concerning what you have done. It does not need further discussion. Now is the time for action. Do you think the enemy wants you living an honorable life??? Of course not! However the greater sin is remaining under condemnation and not receiving God's forgiveness. Listen to me Brother, according to the word "ALL have sinned and fall short of the glory of God". Now get back where you belong. Don't let the enemy win! This world needs you and your family back in ministry. I write this not to anger anyone, but to help you see that by not moving forward, the only winner is the devil. Come on Brother! We are truly on your side! Remember, the Father ran to restore His prodigal son. His son only had to make an effort to come back. He loves you, we love you. Come on home.

I cried when I heard. Like David, "oh how the mighty have fallen", but like David a repentant heart. Several times a month I find myself praying for Terry's restoration. Sometimes I'll hear a song (yes I still play his music) and I just weep. What encourages my heart is his attitude toward his condition and his words that "I know I cannot go forward with my soul in this condition". While my heart breaks for him, I am glad he is in a state of unrest, for in that he will eventually find rest as he reflects on the finished work of Christ who lives and reigns as our mediator and perfect high priest. God speed Terry. May he restore you fully to the JOY and work of your salvation. Angela Chan, NY

I have 2 Worship CD's from Terry MacAlmon that I play very often in my car. It changes the mood and atmosphere in a world of negativity. I am always touched by these songs and regard it as a benchmark for gospel/worship music.

It is sad to know the circumstances surrounding Mr. MacAlmon's resignation but there is a power that is beyond anything else in this world and its restoration. It only comes from the Holy Spirit.

I have fallen short of the glory of God myself, we all are not perfect but I admire those who pick themselves up, shake off the dust and broken pieces and move on with full force.

God be with you brother and your family as I trust with each day passing it'll be closer to your return to Ministry.

Posted by Rev. Robert Haskins in Chattanooga @ 16:34 on Dec 1 2008

Terry,
I went today to your website to see if you had any worship events coming up and read the news. I have long admired and loved your music as I can feel God's Spirit in it and it truly blesses. One thing which has so comforted me in times past is that God's people, the Jews, turned away from God so often but he always told them that if they would return to him he would receive them back. Please know that God is a forgiving God, he loves you and He is always ready to welcome us back. May you find His peace again. You are in my prayers.

See, Terry, consider not only the immense measure of God's unfailing love but also the fact that there's a gargantuan amount of love that the world has shown you despite knowing you had made some mistakes. All of us do make mistakes from time to time. We all love you just the same and desire to see you make right and be restored. Don't let yourself down, don't let your family down. And don't let us down. We patiently wait.

I read most of the comments posted here...I almost opted out of writing but I believe God would not be pleased if I did.

I still remember that First night at the Azusa Street celebrations April 2006(Women's meeting led by Jane Hansen-Hoyt)...that rich worship...the cloud came down in the sanctuary.....Terry. God's hand is on your life...the anointing is for a purpose.

This is your time to experience the healing, forgiveness and restoration that you have so ably helped us experience... As Most persons have entreated I want to add...Run to Jesus, He is waiting, His love and grace are infinite....We love you and are praying for you..

Greta....hang in there...your love for Terry in this painful time will make a world of difference. God is faithful He will enable you to be strong.
Love and blessings to you and your sons.

Over the last two years Terry has been very much o my heart. The lord had shown me to pray for him in the area of adultery. I prayed once and then left it at that. I was deeply shocked to hear of his fall and feel somewhat responsible for not praying as the Lord had beseeched me to pray. Terry if you or your wife are readig this please forgie me for not praying daily for you. I know Gods heart and when he tells me to pray he means it. I just thoughtt the time it was just my own thoughts. I have been deeply ministered to by the music and the power of the Holy spirit that flows through Terry's musci. Satan seems to attack worship leaders after all He was in charge of Gods music in heaven. Look a t King David he to was a worshipper he fell and God resotred him after he had not ony had lusted after another mans wife but had killed her husband God resotred hom and spoke of David as beign a man after his own heart. We all fall God picks us up when we repent and he will resotre the years the locust has eaten. Lets all pray for him and his wife and children. Lord God we bring this family to you bring repentance Lord where repentance is needed bring forgiveness and restoration. Be cloes to those whose hearts are broken IN Jesus name I pray Amen

Minister Terry You Precious Man of God. I can't begin to comment on this situation. Since I heard your worship music it replace my favorite worship music. It's annointed and that won't change. I've given your music to people that are in need of a true spiritual experience/revelation. This also includes other worship ministers/leaders. I was about to order more of your tapes because I've given several of them away. I am going to order more of your worship music now. Because Terry there is none out there that I've heard that can top what God is doing through you. To your wife I can't begin to know how you feel, because I've going through a similar situation. All I can say is that we must live for God and some how if we hold on he will make it all right. and I Love and pray for your family. Grace and Peace to the both of you and your family. Please be encouraged in these difficult times.

Posted by Dan Apthorp @ 23:14 on Dec 7 2008

Terry I just want to tell you even though I was dissappointed and felt let down when I read about your failure I was reminded of my own life. My wife and I have been married forty-four years and I served on our church board for thirty-three years and over that time I messed up and almost lost everything. God gave me a very forgiving wife and we have raised three lovely kids and now have three grand children and I have a helps ministry in our local Penticostal church So God is a good God.
We are praying for you and your wife that forgiveness may abound and most of all you have to forgive yourself and draw upon God's strength daily.

Dearest Brother Terry,

Despite of my shock due to the news about you, i want to let you know that I pray for you and your family as well. God has used you to bless and change many people around the world, including me. I pray that you will come back and finish the race by the power of the Holy Spirit.

Go back to your beloved wife and children. I was once broken because of my parents' divorce, and i knew how it felt as a child of a broken family. Hear the voice of God, hear the cry of Sister Greta's heart, hear the cry of your children's heart, and hear that many people around the world are supporting and waiting for you to go back to the way of truth and His high call for your life.

Sister Greta, I know this is not easy for you too. Only by His failing love, you can forgive and keep supporting your beloved husband. Knowing that God doesn't seek for the people who are capable to do His Words, yet who are willing to do His Words & He will enable them to really do it then, I pray that you are willing to open your heart to endure and willing to keep doing His Words , including those which talk about marriage. However, God hates divorce. His Spirit will empower you, Sister. Lot of love for you, your beloved husband, and your children.

Be blessed.

I will be praying for you to come back. You know the enemy has traps set out for such a annointed leader.You need to be ministered to get into a faith filled church like E.M.I.C. Kenneth Copland, Kenneth Haggin. Get so filled with the word. I plead the Blood of Jesus over You and Your wife and family. I call you ministering again with a double annointinng!!! God Bless S.W.

Posted by maria in indonesia @ 23:52 on Dec 9 2008

just like i've done many things wrong in past time (even worse than you've done Terry) , it makes me feel that i have thrown away from the God's vineyard. I'm not worthy to come back to His vineyard. But just Yesterdy night God spoke through a pastor that GOD LOVES ME, and i'm sure that GOD LOVES TERRY TOO. God is look upon your heart not your sin. Trust in His Love and Grace Terry. Not just you Terry, many of us are the same with you. But the important word is "YES LORD". Don't run away from God.

Your music has touched so many people. I listen to it every morning, and I intend to purchase more. No Christian who matters is judging you, so forgive yourself, and get back to work.

Dear Terry and Greta,
Jesus IS coming again very sooon.
Although I have never met either of you and only very recently have listened to your worship music, I can claim with absolute authority that God did annoint you both to bring thousands upon thousands into His presence, no matter where they are.
God gives to those in ministry 'extra' Holy Spirit to do His work and this is what Satan eagerly loves to attack. I can speak from my own personal experience here, as my wife, who was a prominent worship leader in our denomination and I, a leader in our church, divorced after 13 years and 2 beautiful children. Unfortunately, she also was not able to allow herself to go through the councilling. Not only was this disappointing to me but it also has affected my young children as well. I pray Terry, that you take a close thoughful look at Jesus, as He died on the cross as you, and me and everyone else who was, is and is to come, and realize the price He paid just for you...when you, as we all must, realize, the enormity of what He did to reconcile us, through His death on the Cross, again with the Father, God...then...I know and believe that with the touching of the Holy Spirit, you too will desperately want to be reconcilled with the Father again...and also to do His Will and return to Greta.
To Greta, God has obviously placed His hand of reconciling love upon you and all that I can express to you is to " Wait upon the Lord"....He will see you through....this situation is not a fight between Terry and you, but it is again another insight for us all to learn by in the Great Controversy of this world between God and the "devouring lion" lucifer....hang in their with God because He will NEVER leave you.
I will pray for divine help for you both. Amen.

Posted by John S. in Buffalo, New York @ 19:26 on Dec 16 2008

Dear Terry,
I too was just listening to your music on my computer and went on you website to purchase some more CD's and was in shock with the news of your situation. Your music has brought tremendous blessing to me and the church that I serve as pastor. We will be praying for your and your family during this time of need. My prayer is that the enemy will not gain complete victory. Thank God for His unconditional love and forgiveness. Your ministry is too vital to the body of Christ to allow the enemy win. Look to Jesus for strength and He will bring you and yours through.

Posted by Andrew Christian in London, ENGLAND @ 23:07 on Dec 16 2008

Terry, my brother i only heard your name for the first time today as i was listening to the song of my heart 'I sing praises to Your Name, oh Lord' on You Tube and somebody said that you composed this marvellous song. If indeed you wrote this song, I can testify that you know God more deeply than anybody i have ever met in my life because The Almighty ministers to me through this and has given me this song to minister to his people throughout all eternity! Whether by dream/ vision The Father showed me myself in the Kingdom of heaven standing as a watchman ministering this song to His people, leading those who know His voice into His presence with other such people as myself also standing as watchmen each leading God's people in His presence through different means! You see, my brother.....if you wrote those words and composed that music you have a divine connection with The Great I AM and i declare and decree that YOUR SOUL WILL NOT BE LOST TO SATAN! You will repent and be forgiven by The Lord and your family will be restored to a greater and higher level than it was ever before....you will be faithful to God and He will be faithful to you! Our God (the one and only true, wise God) is a God of forgiveness to all who humble themselves to be forgiven!
God Bless You Saint and Prince in the Kingdom of Christ.

Your Brother

Back in 2003, I lost my job as the Family Christian Stores Bookstore Manager in Cleburne, Texas. For 2 months, I was unable to find new employment (I was 58 years old and had been a Christian (since 1982) that was active in Denton Bible Church, Denton, Texas 1986-2001 and at Cleburne Bible Church 2001-2003.

Having been to many book - music sellers conferences with FCS, I started listening to Terry's album "Live Worship" 2002 and I was able to sleep, rest, and get focused on the Lord for I was in a deep valley of depression.

Within a month of listening to the album and having the Lord give me much Grace, I went to CBC where the Elder board assisted my wife and I will a financial gift that allowed us to pay off 3 months of debt. During that time, my daughter in Wichita, Kansas called and I told her of my "employment situation".

She talked to her husband and called me back and sent me a ticket to Wichita, Kansas where they took me around the North side of Wichita to pick out a home which they bought for my wife and I.

I am so thankful for God allowing that album to be used in my life as a boundary to the downward spiral that I was on.

May God work out his Grace in Terry's Life so as to Confirm him in the Faith that is spoken about in

1 Peter 5:10.

IHS,
Ed

Your words are ALL so kind and full of Jesus' love.... they speak of HIS forgiveness. Praise God for His faithfulness!! I am thankful to be your sister because of the blood of Jesus! May God restore Terry and his family!

Posted by Judy in Red Wing, MN @ 15:44 on Dec 21 2008

Dear Terry,
A few random thoughts............don't know if you read these things, but I wanted you to know that I find it special that my soul does not shrink from you. For me, this means that God has not changed His mind about you in any way. There are some ministers that
I just could not continue to support in the face of infidelity, but somehow I'm maintaining hope for you and Greta.
I also expect this to be true as I continue to play the music God gave you. I have several of your albums and have given some as gifts. Some have caused me to weep.
My husband and I once had a difficult time in our marriage, but God walked me/us through it. First, I asked God to show me the truth, what I should do, and where I needed to change. I asked forgiveness for my own part. At the same time, I had to
keep standing in truth, with the risk that he may not
receive it well.
My children think that God favors me. Their dad and I are more in love than ever, and somehow we each have the constant aim to do good to each other. If God could do these things for me, I have no trouble believing that "it is no secret what God can do, what He does for others, He'll do for you."
Here's a wonderful verse that came my way in recent weeks that has been living and active for me as we adjust to retirement and the challenges of having grandchildren live with us:
"God is able to make all grace abound to us, so that in all things, at all times, having all that we need,
we will abound in every good work."
May you find His grace more than enough!!!

Dear Brother Terry,
I am a backslidden Christian and was once very close to the Lord. I have been trying hard to return back to the Lord over the past 2 years. I didn't know anything about the situation with you. Yesterday, without knowing anything I listened to some of your songs in You Tube and the presence of God just filled the room, forgiving me and embracing me. I assure you I have done much more wrong than you and still the Holy Spirit embraced me. So powerful is the blood of Jesus. After this, I wanted to find more about you and I searched through the net when I came across this news. I wept for almost 2 hours and the anointing kept on increasing. Your anointed song has brought me back home and in the spirit, I could feel you resemble David, you still have a contrite, humble and repentant heart which is what God loves. You will come out of this shining and more closer to God and more anointed that ever. You are precious to the Lord. God bless you and your family.
Vinod

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!

Posted by Phyllis S. in Baltimore, MD @ 16:09 on Dec 30 2008

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.

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.

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...

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.

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,

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

Sweet Terry:

Please don't give the devil what he wants. Stand up and fight! If you get a chance pick up my book entitled Twenty-Four Hours with God. My life was a mess and I sought God's forgiveness at 52 and began again. Whatever you may have done, it is not unforgivable and it is not worth "throwing in the towel." Just the fact that Satan is after you is proof that your life is a treasure and God's desire to use it to help others IS His plan for you! What an awesome God we serve. I thank you Lord that you forgive us daily, hourly, by the minute for those sins we commit against you and I thank you Lord that Terry, your anointed man of God will return very quickly to the life that You have led him to lead. Amen.

I was ordering CDs today when I learned of this hearbreaking trial. I not only am going to intercede for Terry but also for his wife, for grace to endure and patience to wait on the Lord.

Let this be a warning to all of us, that the enemy of our souls is increasingly on the attack to destroy our families, our ministries, and our testimonies. Precisely because we overcome him by the "BLood of the Lamb, and the WORD (Song) of our testimony".

By the power and authority of the Lord Jesus Christ, this man, this woman, and their children WILL be saved, redeemed, restored, INTACT, and returned to lead thousands into the presence of God. Not as those who are without sin, who of us is? But as the Redeemed.

Please friends, do NOT resist the grace of God. But allow him to Love you through this.

We will stand with you. Thousands of us have had our souls snatched from the pit by your ministry. Now it is time for us to do that for you.

Terry,
All these comments are so encouraging for the most part. I would ask, is there any one out there can can email to Terry about having an affair and how God brought them thru it? What were you feeilng at the time? Does your spouse know? Have you been the 'other woman' or the 'other man?' Nobody just decides to have an affair. (At least, not some one like Terry). There are unmet emotional needs, that you are unaware of that all of a sudden you sense are being fulfilled by this other person in the slightest sense, then down that road you go. Nobody wants to hurt those they love. You one day wake up and find yourself trapped. You worship God because of His mercy to covers you. Yet, you still give in the flesh, the total sense of utter acceptance and etc...You tell the Lord you will never fall again, and try to walk away. YOu give in more and more to losses of temper, depression. This is where your choice comes to die to self, to truelly lay down your life I recogn...
I am sure this is the battle Terry, you have fought, until you could fight no more.
Indeed the Lord gives new beginnigs, I have seen many families broken by divorce. The important thing for now, is that you get to where Jesus is your only refuge. Not having 'Worshipping for us' as your place of refuge. Someone like you who has walked away, doesn't just come skiping back. You will have a limp in your walk. As you wrestle with the Lord, you will learn humlity like you never had had to before. like Jacob. May His grace keep you, no matter waht you decide, His mercies are unending, and new every morning.

What a shock! I am just about to teach my little Choir of about 13 singers the wonderful inspiring YOU'RE MY GLORY when I read on the web how Terry has suffered such fate. Terry, there is no reason for you to resign from Ministry. I believe, we are all in this ministry together - to lift up the name of the LORD, Almighty. The enemy will come at us with all his arsenal because he once occupied this position in Heaven. I pray that such talents won't go down for the enemy to laugh. Remember Donnie's song, "WE FALL DOWN"! Part of it says, "... for a saint is just a sinner who fell down and got up". I am praying with you for a full restoration and restitution. Terry, it is not over until it's finally and decisively over! It's time for Greta to forgive and stand firm, no matter how deep and farther Terry has gone, there's still the 'prodigal' way to return. It is for better, for worse! Give GOD the glory and shame the devil.

Dear Terry and Greta,

Only you, Father God, Lord Christ and Holy Spirit know how painful and confusing this valley is for you and your family.

But God,
Is able to make all grace abound toward you; that you may have His merciful compassion in and upon you, that you may be able to rise up out of the ashes of finished sin - sin having run its course - must be finished that death may be pronounced upon it by the LORD himself.

That you may receive a greater revelation of Eternal Life in knowing God and LORD Christ.

The wages of sin is death to the sin, because the worship of the LORD fills your soul, the cleansing fires of the Holy Spirit will bring the dross of lust up and OUT in LORD Jesus' name.

Thank you for being faithful to God to know that you must sit down --- until the condition of your soul is healed, and your heart through true repentance is truly broken, to make more room for the greater Presence of the Lord.

There must be true brokeness of the heart to let the LORD of our heart in on His terms.

He loves you and your family!

He will heal and repair the brokeness when His work is finished on this level of faith to faith and glory to glory that He has for you and your family.

Your labor of love is NOT in vain in the LORD!

We love you and appreciate you for the love for our LORD that you shared with all of us, in your songs.

We are praying for you, your wife and your children.
God is truly able to raise the dead!

Watch and pray!

Your Sister In Christ,
Jan C.

Shocked? Sorry? Sad?,,, maybe somewhat, but he is a man just like the rest of us, just like David, whos psalms have helped alot of us through life, a man after Gods own heart it's said, whos words and songs and stories fill the bible, including the one of his infidelity...Get up Terry, move forward, Love ya.

Posted by Gene Maddox in Palatka, Florida @ 07:15 on Jan 14 2009

Terry, it is 2:10AM and I have been listening to your music for about 2 hours. Your ministry of words and music ministers to me in ways I can experience through no one else. Brother, the anointing is STILL upon your music!
I don't know all your circumstances. I only know that you are God's beloved. Please know that as I listen to your music I am praying for you: His healing; His time; His way.
You are in my heart. Most of all you are in the Father's!

Posted by Paul W. in Oceanside CA @ 04:34 on Jan 17 2009

I have just spent an hour sittiing in the Father's presence while istening to your music. My idea of Heaven on earth would be to sit in one of your times of worship live. There is no way the enemy can have a victory in your life in this matter. Our God is bigger than anything satan can try to use to destroy God's annointed.
I will continue to pray for God's perfect will to be done in your family's lives. Psalm 139 tells us that God scheduled every day of our lives before the creation of Earth and has it written it down. It is difficult to figure out how God is going to have the victory in your situation, but He IS faithful to complete the work that He has started in all of us.
God' greatest strength to you all.

To the Body of Christ,

In reading the comments, it saddens me, but in a compassionate manner, I want to say to Terry and his wife and family, I do not judge you! My own struggles and battles have certainly left me with scars, and it's only His Grace and Grace alone that I am here today.

It's easy to "Judge." because we rise up in our carnality, and immediately want to "Throw the first stone." but we forget, "Lest for the Grace of God, be it me, you........." I send my love and mercy to them
at this time. I am not "Saluting." Terry for his behaviour NOR the woman whom he had the affair with, but they are NOT beyond Christ's Redemptive Power, to Heal and Restore. I think of Romans 8:28, that ALL things work together for good, doesn't mean everything in our lives is good, not at all........God's ways are higher than our ways and His thoughts. Amen

I have been encouraged by the love show by all the
dear people writting these letters to Terry. I too am
going through a terrible dark time and I beg you all
to pray for me and my husband. I have discovered
that my husband is gay just recently. I am trusting
God to give me wisdom in what to do. I don't want
to divorce him. It would distroy our children. I still
love him. I know that sound crazy. But I do. I know
God can deliver him from this demonic influence in
his mind. I know nothing is too hard for my God.
Please pray that God will help me stand strong. I
cry all the time and I feel crushed in my soul. I feel
scared sometimes and have panic attacts. Please
pray for me. I cant give our names. God knows who
we are. We are involved in music ministry. I know
Satan hates those who lead in worship. Please
pray for total restoration of my marriage and our
music ministry.

Posted by Valer Enea in Lyons, Oregon @ 07:36 on Jan 18 2009

Yeah we're all sinners, but God gives us all the power to withstand destroying our covenant marriages. It takes a lot of time and premeditation for an internationally known minister to have an extra-marital affair. Sadly, Terry has CHOSEN to shipwreck his ministry, through repeated decisions that led to what he did. We all have sins, habits, moments and even seasons of weakness. Cheating on your wife is not one of them! God very generously gives us the Grace to avoid the slew of decisions leading up to sleeping with another woman. I will not throw any stones at the man -- he is reaping the bitter harvest -- but give me a break folks with all this "We're all sinners" dung. Having said that, Terry's music has changed my worship life. I love it. If he comes back, I will still (hopefully) listen and worship to his music, because I am not responsible for his conscience. Just like I can rejoice listening to Elvis Presley gospel music, even though he was a lowlife, morally.

Posted by Fatima in Brooklyn, NY @ 21:57 on Jan 19 2009

Dear brother Terry!
I want you to know that your music has deeply touched my life. You have taken "worship" to another level and I thank God for the way He has greatly manifested His Spirit through you. You came to my church and the whole congregation was trully blessed.
I am deeply sorry to hear about what you and your family are going through right now. Please "DON"T EVER GIVE UP". David repented and God has forgiven him. Remember the power of the cross. God will bring you and your family out of this vicious satanic attack for His Glory. You'll be even stronger and better than ever before.
May God continue to bless you and continue to overflow you with His great and mightly anointing. I will be praying for you.
With the love of the Lord.

My Christian husband, youth leader, Sunday School teacher, Bible College Student, had an affair many years ago. Our marriage almost was lost, but he asked me to forgive him and I did....It was a horrible!! time in our lives and those who loved us, but we made it! Our marriage is strong now. I trust him, he is thankful he stayed married to me. I have done my part to be a godly woman and mother, yet be sexy for him. I learned to be what he needs me to be. I exercise and eat right to keep my figure. I feel good about myself..I want to have fun as I get older. I am not saying that this is a reason (or excuse) for a man to have an affair, but men (even Christian men) need lots of sex...it's the way God made them and Christian women sometimes think they have to be anti-sex to be "godly". I learned how wrong I was. Now we go to church and worship together, raise our kids and walk in the Word, etc. and have great sex...neither one of us needs to look elsewhere for our physical needs or self-worth. We appreciate each other and tell each other constantly. We just love to be together. The "hell on earth" I experienced after his affair has been replaced with "heaven on earth". By God's grace, we will be together til Jesus calls us home. By the way, we use Terry's music when we lead at our church. I play the piano and sing while my husband, leads in worship. I look forward to the day I hear Terry and his wife have gone on their "second honeymoon" and the healing process is continuing to strengthen them both.

Posted by Ursula in South Africa @ 13:34 on Jan 27 2009

I have been listening to "Sing Praises" for most of the day and decided to go into Terry MacAlmon's website. I too am a worship leader and I know that satan hates worship leaders especially. My heart is very sore Terry and his family, but I do believe that GOD can restore their brokeness. I pray that Terry will repent if he has not already and allow the Holy Spirit to work in his life once again. I pray for his wife that the Lord will heal her and help her to forgive Terry. It is never easy to trust once you have been betrayed but by the grace of God and with the help of the Holy Spirit may she be able to overcome this totally. I am not just listening to Terry's voice but to his heart, what a worshipper. We all sin, it's just that some are inward and so no one sees it and others sin outward where everyone gets to see it. Perhaps it is good that we came to know about Terry so that we can pray him back into the courts of our God, in the Name of Jesus Christ. Amen!

Dear Brother in Christ,
You have poured yourself out, and SO many have been transformed through your worship. Now is your time to receive. Today’s hunger for Gods tangible presence is so great. I pray that the spirit of confusion will not take your gift from the church. Love and Gratitude to you and your family.

Posted by Bonita Nsah in SALISBURY, MARYLAND @ 08:12 on Jan 29 2009

You are loved by God and I love you Mr. McAlmon. Your music has been a treasured gift. I can never express to you the transforming impact your music has had in my life. I suppose it would explain why I own all that has been released. I won't dwell on what has taken place in your life. These things happen to the best of us. But I would encourage you to worship your way out of it. The world is waiting for your return! You are LOVED. I extend my prayers to you and your family. Peace

Terry, I have been a great follower of yours for years. My deep emotional experiences with my God have been enhanced because of your music. I have every CD and listen to them in my car often. Everytime I hear your voice or your music, I pray for you and your family. God is good and healing and restoration are His.......bless you.

We want to bear you two up to our forgiving and gracious Father, and to see you both restored and renewed thru the Holy Spirit. You are both in our prayers, and in our hearts and minds. The battle seems long, but the victory will be MUCH longer! In Christ...alone!

Posted by Sharon S in Texas @ 03:52 on Feb 3 2009

Terry,

I am deeply saddened to learn of your problems...but our God IS a mighty mighty God. My daughter left her husband and children this past year, so I personally know how devastating this situation can be for you and your family. Satan is out to kill, steal, and destroy, and I believe he is attacking the Christians harder than anyone else.

My prayer is for total restoration for each of you.

Music has been a vital part of my own life - I'm almost 60 years old, raised in Pentecost, a true Southern Gospel fan...and I can truly say that I have never felt the anointing under any other ministry that I have felt when I hear/see you sing/play.

May God pour out His blessings upon you!

Posted by Sherry Larson in Englewood, Colorado @ 10:35 on Feb 3 2009

I personally have shared your music with many and because of the anointing God has given you, many have been ushered into the Presence of the Lord. As I prayed for you, I told the Lord it's getting harder and harder to stay pure as we wait for His return, His answer was..."follow after the Spirit". So, do I think your soul needs healing?? You betcha!! But, who of us in mortal state don't need soul-healing?? Our part is to pray for one another and ALLOW God to do what only He can. I pray your restoration will be greater than your fall...more than we can count have been there too. WORSHIP!! PRAISE!! God's callings are without regret, Terry. Get on with His business.

Posted by Connie Ellingson in St. Paul, MN @ 22:04 on Feb 5 2009

When a commandment is broken, pain across the entire body of Christ has a ripple effect. We have all fallen short of the glory of God and must cover our worship leaders, pastors, and leaders in prayer-that they be pure and walk in the fear of the Lord.

Posted by Ris in Waldorf, Maryland @ 05:13 on Feb 6 2009

Terri I know your struggles and I love the Lord with all my heart, mind and soul. I daily have to declare victory over my body though what he did for me at calvary. You know the body of Christ struggles with one thing or the other. This just happens to be your struggle. You did not choose this but it will is being used to draw you and those around you closer to him. When you have he kind of ministry you have unto the Lord you are open. Your spiritman, inner man is open and the enemy has taken advantage of it. The annointing on you attacts. The enemy used it. You were restored at calvary, now all you must do is forgive Terri for falling into temptation as we all have in one form or the other. To God it is no difference. Now therefore, there is no condemnation unto those that walk after the Spirit, not successful but walk, desire the things of God. Now, get up my friend, leaning on me and other as we ALL lean on Christ who is our only support and continue. Today I am thakful for what I endure becasue I can encourage you to stay in faith. knowing your redeemer lives.. You are forgiven, loved, and restored. Don't let pride rob you any further. It doesn't have to take weeks, months, or years. I know we want to poof and it is gone but it does not happen that way all the time. The Lord uses these things to keep us forever following and needing Him. You will continue to have to deal with this but Glory to God, in Christ YOU WIN. To your wife, remain true regardless. Let God and his word be your counselor and your heart. Not what man thinks or say. God will see you though. He is a healer and a loving one.

Posted by Peter in Lima, Peru @ 13:07 on Feb 9 2009

Terry your music has blessed multitudes. But, like the annointed cherub, iniquity has been found in your heart. You've rebelled against the Way, the Truth and the Life. End your rebellion - before it's too late!! It's not just how you start and it's not even where you find yourself midway in the race - it's how you END the race! Jesus said you must pick up your cross daily and deny yourself DAILY. God loves you more than you'll ever know - but you must totally depend upon Him. Without Him you can do nothing.

Posted by Jenny Banda in Riverbank, California @ 21:08 on Feb 9 2009

Brother Terry, I just received a copy of your music through my brother in law and I wept like a baby in the presence of the LORD. I was going through very difficult situations, and your music comforted me to say the least. My brother in law received Christ not too long ago and introduced me to your music. I had never heard of you before. You know the WORD of God and how this happened to David the King. But he loved God and was restored and the time came that God blessed him and his Son. I know what you are going through, I've been there. My message would be for your wife. I have been with my husband for 35 years, battling marital problems, marital affairs, physical and mental abuse. I could not have done it without God in my life and prayer. God showed me many things through visions and manifestations that it would take me a long time to tell you about it for I could write a book of all the things I went through and had experienced. You and your husband Terry are not alone. Many of us go through difficult times, but God sees us through and restores all that the enemy took. God is faithful. You may have stopped the plan of God in your life, but HIS plans will still succeed when you are ready to fight back. Greater things God has for you! This is a process. This might seem odd to say, but I thank my God for what has happened to you, for you will be able to help restore many families that are going through what you have stepped into especially in the ministry. Pastors and ministers that I have known, have fallen with these same problems and have not returned. You are in the spotlight, I hope you will return soon, for many need to hear and see that you have overcome and that there is still a merciful, loving God that wants more than anything to restore and win back our fallen brothers and sisters especially in these last days. Let's go forward in battle and be victorious in what God wants us to be! My prayers are with you. Lovingly, Sister Jenny

My 8 year old wanted to attend one of your events that you usually hold. We were hoping that you would be back in Tulsa bringing in the New Year like you had done Dec. 31 2006. When I got on to the web page to see what your schedule was for that time and where, I saw that you had resigned in May. I was sooooo saddened to say the least. I had a hurt in my heart for you and still do to this day. I remember bringing her up to the stage and letting her meet you when she was 5 and you were so very kind to her. I have taken my daughter to see you on 3 different occasions and she loves to sing the song Praise You. She & I listen to your CD's all the time in our car. We love you and will continue to pray for your restoration with God and the restoration of you and your wife and family. I commend you on stepping down because of your concerns with your soul. I am sure it was not easy. I believe God is going to bring you back with more annointing and power. You need this time to spend with God and we will look forward to the day when you are back on board and serving God with a whole heart.
Your sister in the Lord

Terry,
I recently found out that you were supposed to come to Madison Square Garden last year some time, and my heart broke when I discovered you had been there in previous years way before I ever found you. I think of the lost opportunities I missed out on to see you in person by just hopping a bus and going in there to sing and worship God with you. I listen to your music every day of my life and even though I have a huge music collection, it has all fallen by the wayside since I found you. Now no matter how I try to play my other music, I just can't. I always come back to you. I come back to you because there is no other time in my life when I have felt I was standing in the actual presence of God. You did that. You brought me there. You've brought so many there, right before His throne. It feels like you have the gift from God to really bring heaven down to earth. God has blessed you so powerfully and I hate to think that this gift will be lost forever. Please repent and return to us. Think of all the souls you've helped to save with your songs of praise. I was never able to focus on prayer before, I would drift away. Once I found you I became so filled with the Holy Spirit, and I'm positive God used you to bring me to Himself. Praise His holy name. I have every single worship cd that you've ever made. I am waiting for your return and I'm not giving up. With God all things are possible and you are His forever. Human love is wonderful, but there is no love like the love of God. He fills us completely. I learned that from your ministry. I will pray for you until your return. My prayers will not return void.
May you be blessed every day of your life and return back to the Lord with a clean heart.
Your Sister in Jesus
A.S.

What can one add to all that has been said before. But your CD "HOLY" fills this house with a flood tide of glory right now. There is no doubt that God birthed your ministry and from it has flowed a river of annointing oil that has touched millions. You and your precious family are in my prayers as I continue to be carried into the Lord's presence listening to the gift He gave to you through your music. Love and prayers

What a horrendous and blatently violent attack by the enemy - on such an anointed man and ministry - so many have been blessed - and they will be again. Remember Moses? - he murdered and the Lord restored him. Remember David? - he had an affair and the Lord restored him. Remember Peter? - he denied even knowing the Lord - and the Lord restored him. Terry - hang in there - the enemy only takes out those who are the greatest threat to him. Draw time aside - get right with the Lord and with your loved ones - and in His timing the fallen one will rise again and soar on the wings of eagles. Praying for you and your family. We believe in you.

Dear Terry

I came across the news on the net. I was sad to see the news and just felt hurt for you and family. I have all your CD's and your music has carried me through very difficult periods of my life. I know that you are annointed of GOD and your music is above anything I have ever heard. I often pray and listen to your music in the background. I also want to start an intercession ministry in this area and will be playing alote of your music in in the meetings. I also have made many terrible mistakes in my life and I have seen how GOD NEVER LETS GO OF HIS PRECIOUS CHILDREN. GOD LOVES YOU, AS YOU KNOW AND HE WILL RESTORE YOU. We are praying for YOU MY BROTHER.

GOD BLESS YOU AND FAMILY!!!

Terry,

Seek Jesus' face and he will heal you from your pain. You have inspired me in so many ways. When I want to hear from Jesus in my time of prayer, I always play your worship and it ushers me into God's presence. We are all attacked in different ways and the devil knows where it hurts most. Jesus has freed us from the bondage of sin on the cross so we can always repent and he will hear the sincerity of our heart and heal us. Do not let the devil hinder you from saving souls. Fasting and prayer will help you break through. Hurry up and get back to your worship people are dying without salvation everyday!!!

Posted by Stan in Moorhead,MN @ 05:42 on Mar 6 2009

My Dear brother and friend. If you had ever exalted yourself, if you had ever claimed to be anyone worthy of honor,then had I believed you, I would have cause for disappointment. The truth however, is that you more than anyone I have known have lived to exalt the name, the honor, and the presence of Jesus Christ. For this I am changed for eternity, and indebted to you for ushering me into a richer intimacy with the King of Glory! My dear friend, no one is brushing anything under the rug here, but in of ourselves the very best that any of us have to offer our Holy Father is filthy rags. To forbid the blood washing and in time, restoration to GOD's calling on you, would be to agree with all the religious spirits around us that grade on our performance. My dear, precious brother, thank you for loving God and worshiping Him the way you do. I don't think that Christ in you can stop crying out to magnify the Father. Glory in His embrace... I love you.

Terry: I have been a fan and own every CD/DVD/Music book you have published because God used your music to grow me in my Christian walk.
My heart is so with you, brother. Having fallen myself and wandering about for over 30 years before God caught my attention once again, I empathize with the experiences you have been having and are probably going through even now.
Remember, there is no sin bad enough that God's grace doesn't cover it. And there's no love to take His place in our hearts and lives. You, too, are so loved by Him, and us, and my prayer is you will find peace, joy and blessings now and in the future.
I feel such a loss by not being able to look forward to your new music.

I believe God has already forgiven you. All that is remaining of for us to forgive you and you to forgive yourself. No one deserves God's grace-we are all big time sinners-Jeus came and suffered that Which He did not merit-Just for us!

My heart cries for Terry's family and especially his wife-She does not deserve this, just us Jesus did not deserve to suffer!

But we are of a different spirit-forgiveness is our foundation-i am reminded of the verse in James that says "Mercy triumphs over judgement".

May God help you Greta!

Your song !My God and KING! makes tears ebb out of my eyes everytime i listem and worship with it-and with every beat of that song, every melody from your blessed voices i hear, my heart will always be crying out to God to restore you!

With Much Much Love

Hi Terry,
I am reading all the comments about you and i am looking at myself. And see me in a situation similar like yours. If my wife would taken me back or she would return to me i believe that i would.
I am going thru a divorce now and i can tell you my brother it's hell on earth. Please pray over the whole matter and let the love of Jesus helps you decide in this situation. People Love you and Jesus Loves you more. My prayer for you is that God will remind you of your first love that you had for him and will help you to make the right decision in continue to worship him with no hindrance. May the Lord Bless you and yours.

I believe this was a strategic attack by satan and his demons toward Terry over a very long period of time. Life is about choices, we will live or die by the choices we make on a daily basis. Let's not condemn Terry, but pray for him and his family. It's only by God's grace that we are not in the same situation. Judge not, that ye not be judged. Selah.

We have just become aquainted with your ministry Terry. I know
God will restore you. He has me. We just want to say the music you minister to people is spirit moving, ever drawing people closer to God. The song, "You deserve the Glory" has now been taken off our MySpace by the search engine. It is our favorite! We hope we will be able to purchase an album sowhere with it on it by you. We are praying for your soon return. I was in the UPC ministry and know how they feel. However, Brother let me share this with you, God's Grace is Greater than our faults. You are needed!!!!
God bless you and all involved.

Terry,
I too failed the Lord several years ago. I went through many years of believed failure, and being told God cannot use you again, till I begin to realize that God had died for my sins as well as the many I had ministered to, and that God was not through with me. I went to Psalms 23 and found not only the 13 benefits from walking with the Lord as my shepherd, but that right the first 4 that He restores my soul. How interesting. 4 before he restores and 8 after. Greater can you last ministry be than you first was. I wish I could talk to you personnally about all this but just know, that just has Satan hated worship to the Lord in heaven, he hates it more today in the last days. He will do what he can to stop it, even to the point of stopping the worshipper. Only you can pick up the mantle again and lead us into the presence of the Lord. Please do. Failure isn't final with the father. God bless.

Brother Terry, Your music is like Gold to the Body of christ. I too, went through a difficult time and i was given one of your CDs. it not only carried me through the time of trial but i received a heavenly vision with it. During my trial all I was instructed to do was WORSHIP. I won the battle through worship. HAS ANYONE ever considiered that they were not present during the counseling sessions and therefore cannot even begin to make any insinuations or judgements? What if he walked away because he is very disappointed with himself? We do not know. Resoration will be a long process. And we may have failed him in that we did not realize the cost of producing such anointed music and such divine visitations into the Holy of Holies. Thus we should have covered his back more adequately in true warring intercession.When you climb a high mountain you climb alone. and the higher the mountain, the easier it is to slip because the way is extremely narrow. NOT MANY willing to climb that high. the fall is great. when Jesus was in Gethsemani he was alone and in a state of heart wrenching prayer. His disciples failed him at the most crucial hour. LET US ALSO REMEMBER THAT HE WAS IN THE FRONTLINES.

Posted by Pat in Alabama @ 21:20 on Mar 26 2009

To Terry, Greta, your Family and all of the people you have and will minister to.
My husband cheated on me and we divorced. I prayed for him everyday because I still loved him. We stayed divorced for about a year and I prayed for him to come home or for the Lord to help me get on with my life. My sister died last January and he came back in my life the next month. We were married March of last year and have been happier than ever before. You see, I believe the end is near and satan is going after the anointed ones. Terry, if you have already asked God to forgive you, He has. But you have to forgive yourself.
God Bless you and we all hope to see you again soon!!!!

God has greatly used the worship music of Terry in my life. I wake up every morning to his praise CD Live Worship. Terry like all your other brothers and sisters across the world I am praying for you that his dark experience will bring you into greater intimacy with the Triune God than ever before. Thousands are praying for you and this must mean something to Our
Father. God wastes nothing and I have no doubt that your love for the Lord will bring you thru from suffering to joy. Draw near to God and He will draw nigh to you.

Terry's music is instrumental in healing and and souls coming to christ. I love you brother Terry and I'm praying for you that you will know that God still reigns and yet loves you so very much. It is up to you to forgive yourself because God forgives when we go to hime and ask. I pray you will come back to the ministry of music again, soon. I am new to your music and have a few of your worship cd's which are absolutely wonderful. Praying for you my brother.

Dear Sis. Greta,

This is a shock. I was listening to Terry's cassette Live Worship this morning, and since it is worn out, I was thinking of purchasing a new cassette. As this Live Worship cassette has helped me in my spiritual life and growth. I was browsing through the net to listen to Terry's songs, as I lost my brother and am still coping with his absence. I happened to read this and it is indeed very sad. Will be praying for you and your family sister. Trust Jesus Christ in all situations and circumstances.
Incidently, my mother's name is also, Greta.

It makes me SICK to see how satan works to distroy Gods people and to stop them from doing Gods'work.Terry remember you have a call in your life to do God's work. I'm praying for you!!! and I am waiting to hear your NEW music that God is going to give you. God loves you so much!

To the Christian community.

How long.... do we become like you. I was listening to the song on my laptop when I decided to get the full lyrics. As I write I am playing "I stand in awe of you". I am very disappointed. As Christians we should always be on the guard for the lion is roamig seekig whom to devour. I have seen many worship leaders and ministry leaders falling due to infidelity.

Why don't we strive to be more like Jesus and worship in spirit and truth. We should know the truth and the truth should set us free. How long people before we get our act together and stop hidig behind the flesh. In all cases we are very conscious of what we are doing.

Let's top bringing reproach to the Kingdom and mocking God. We shouldn't judge yes but neither should we live like the unsaved.

We pray that the church including Bro. Terry find their first love and be true and faithful to the word and God.

Terry, I just want to let you know that I think alot of you. I love your music. I have it playing 24hrs a day in my prayer room at my home. Your music blesses me. Please come back to the ministry. But most of all do not allow the enemy to take your joy. We have all sinned and if there is one out there who hasnt they are a liar. Sin is Sin. But thank God for his mercy and Grace renewed to use every day. I pray get yourself together and Give God the glory. We are praying for you man. There are alot of people who love you.

Posted by Alicia in Barbados @ 20:52 on Apr 9 2009

Terry, just because you made a mistake doesn't mean that you have to step down from your ministry. The Lord is the Only One that has the right to judge and condemn and He has called you and anointed you for this ministry. What you are going through is a plan from satan self and if you step down you have let satan win. Remember king David, he killed a man to sleep with his wife and the Lord said that David was a man after His own heart. God has already forgiven you, you need to forgive yourself and continue the course that God has set before you.

Terry, I was just now listening to one of your worship cds that I purchased back in 2004 when you were in Toronto for the Show Me Your Glory conference. It made we wonder why I haven't seen any of your music in awhile. Terry, as so many have already said, your music ministry was truly anointed by God, and I know that you will be restored through His mercy and grace. Don't give up on yourself because God never will.

it is written in proverbs that 'a righteous man who falls has drunk from a polluted well'. while i send his family my condolences his falling away is surely a sign that there was something wrong in his ministry...must be! those who seek to become teachers or great among the body of Christ will receive a greater judgment.

Terry...
I was only recently given a CD of yours... though I've known some of your songs for years. This CD though, has just blessed my soul and touches my heart every time I listen. I then went to your website, and learned of your resignation, and inquired of the friend who gave me the CD, who then replied with this blog.
I am deeply disturbed by the judgemental comments both blatant, and those though well meaning, still judgemental.
The truth is, Jesus died for all of us... and for those who think they are righteous enough on their own merit have blatently belittled the effect of the cross of Calvary, and the undieing grace and mercy He 'daily' shows to each one of us.
We don't know your situation, and it's none of our business. Yes, it's sad that your home and family has broken up - but God's grace is sufficient and will carry you/them through.
The fact is, there will be many who judge you, whether or not you return to your marriage or your ministry... it's sad but it's true.
The good news, is that God's judgment of all of us was placed upon Jesus, 'once and for all'.
As a worshiper, leader and musician - I understand your heart - and though my situation is different, I may never return to public ministry again - but that doesn't stop me from worshipping, writing and sharing with those who know me and my heart... and therein, I am fulfilling the call of God on my life, and offering back to him the gifting 'He's' given me.
May the power of His Love and Grace enfold you today.

Terry and Greta: The power of Satan in this dispensation is evident in many things we see in our time. We all struggle as it is written and strive for perseverance. We all have our weaknesses and they are constantly probed by the evil one. My prayer for you Terry is one of repentance and humbleness. My prayer for you Greta is one of forgiveness and reflection. I have been where you are and I know of your pain. Our Lord is a Mighty God, WITH him who can defeat us?

Then you shall call, and the Lord will answer, you shall cry, and He will say, Here I am. And if you pour out that with which you sustain your own life for the hungry and satisfy the need of the afflicted, then shall your light rise in darkness, and your obscurity and gloom become like the noonday. And the Lord shall guide continually and satisfy you in drought and in dry places and make strong your bones. And you shall be like a watered garden and like a spring of water whose waters fail not. This´s a promise to you! Believe the Church is thursty of a true woship. You have been blessed by God with so wonderful gift. It is not yours it is for the Church, please think of that. Jesus loves you, he has forgiven you, and you must to do the same, and then you will feel the harmony and peace that comes from Gods presence.
All your feelings will be totally changeged, anaesthetized by God´s hand. You know what I´m talking about. All sufering will be removed from your thoughts, and you will be risen up again to help, to love your precious family,and the Church around the world. Forgive yourself and forget all that hapened. Jesus will give you strength to do it.
I am nothing, I´m just a servant of God that decided to die for herself, to live to Jesus.
The Church of Jesus Christ is waitting and praying for you my brother.

Wow, it broke my heart - I just got to know today. It is easy to point the finger. The reality is that we are all vulnerable to enemy attacks. The Lord warned us our walk with Him will not be a walk in the park. He asked each one of us to count the cost. It’s not about “ministry” – if you want to follow Jesus, then, “…DENY yourself, pick up your cross & follow Him DAILY…”. We’ve been programmed to worship God as a program…read your Bible, go to church, say your prayers & devotionals, do good, so on & so forth…it’s still a “works” mentality…
Christ is really simple & He has made it simple to us to follow Him. It’s all based on TRUST. Today we use the word “Trust” so easily & don’t even know what it means. What was meant to be so simple & Jesus-focused, men has taken & complicated & adulterated it with catechisms & doctrines.
Today as we stand, we have DIVIDED Christ by the doctrines of men. We have so many denominations because we have drifted away from the truth that is JESUS & focused on doctrines. Christ warned us in Mark 7:7
Paul saw this in his time too & appealed to them saying…1 Corinthians 10-12. Take a good look & see what we have today in the Christian world today. Most of it is not the truth, it’s some truth, but mingled in lies. Yes, many have gone out with “good intentions”, but good intentions are not GOD INTENTIONS. If you look at all the denominations, the commonality is not Christ, it’s all based on doctrines & when we drift away from Christ, it brings about division. Try bringing these denominations together in unity & you will see the doctrines come into play…forgive us Lord! It’s the pride of men! I know a lot of you will disagree, but that’s not the point…in the end, it will be about you & the Lord…you will be able to point no finger so let me end with this…from 2 Corinthians 13:5 “Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith”
…may the Lord’s mercy & grace be upon Terry & his family & upon each one of you! He is coming…are you ready?!

We are Jewish believers in Messiah who also have been given a high calling, on national radio and public ministry. Much of your music has brought tears of repentance to our souls, especially the Live Worship CD (Even So). Your music and the gifts you have are clearly anointed by the Holy Spirit.

We are fully convinced and persuaded that you will one day return to ministry stronger than ever before. No pleasure in this world is worth loosing the kingdom of God for, especilly because we want to see you there! Love in Yeshua, two believers united in prayer for you.

Posted by Linda Borgen in Otis Oregon @ 16:39 on May 8 2009

Terry, you are a chosen son of God, highly favored, loved, and annointed by Him to bring glory to Him, and to lift high the precious name of Jesus in this dark and God rejecting time we are living in. The scripture says "When the enemy comes in like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord will raise up a standard against him."Satan hates those who love God, and seek to glorify Him on the earth, but the Lord says to you, "Who is he who condemns? It is Christ who died, and furthermore is also risen, who is even at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us. Who shall seperate us from the love of Christ?Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril or sword?....."For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor heighth nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to seperate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord." Paul wrote this. He called himself "the least of all the Apostles, because he persecuted the church of God even putting many to death, yet he was so convinced of God's mercy and perfect love, and the forgiveness Christ died to bring on the cross, He could make this awesome declaration to encourage all Gods children. Iv'e taken too much space already, know that our Father's love is greater. His mercy triumphs over judgement. His will, will be done in your life, and restoration will come through His great love and faithfullness!" For I know the thoughts I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope."

I am very shocked at this incidence but quick to point out that God has already chosen Brother Terry for this work. Just like King David, He should acknowledge and confess this/any other sin and move-on with His calling. There's nothing the Blood of Jesus can not redeem! We are all 'work-in-progress in the Potter's hand - Eph 2:10 and Jer 18: 3,4.
I pray that Brother Terry and Sister Greta will submit to God in this difficult time so that they can effectively resist the devil cos that is the will of God for them.
Shalom!

Psalm 51 Davids Repentance after Bathsheba
After ministering in India, returning with malaria, under spiritual attack I collapsed on the floor. The Holy Spirit ministered to me from Isa "Whose report will you believe" I could just utter 2 words "Jesus" & "Terry" husband knew exactly what to do and played Terry Mc Almons music to me repeatedly. After 3 a.m. I recovered. - You see its the anointing that breaks the yoke.
Terry will return a broken but renewed person. Soren Kierkegaard knew what it was to be humbled and broken. You see life and the flesh is transitory but the Word of the Lord endures forever - amen

My dear Terry and Greta.......

I am a leader in my church. This morning we were praying about this very thing as it is happening all over the place around us locally. Pastors/leaders that are falling into this snare.....and it is a snare of the enemy! no doubt! Please hear me.....for this to happen, there was some sort of breakdown in the marriage relationship. In most cases..... I can speak from experience. And I am telling you that through restoration and the love of a mighty church family, and restoration together, God will heal that relationship......the choice is there. I had the choice to divorce BECAUSE the scripture says that I could have. I chose restoration of my life with my hubby, and family. and I repented for my part in this.....however big or small it may be, Bless God that was many years ago......now/ hubby is elder and leader and we work at what we have! all through the love of God......and this will happen for you! repentance means.....turn form that which held you in bondage!

Posted by Forgiven in australia @ 01:34 on May 25 2009

I am writing with trepidation, as I have experienced such forgiveness that I did not deserve. I knew better, but somehow I was powerless to do the right thing. I was brought up in a ministers family, all of my siblings became Christians early in our childhood. After 25 years of marriage to a good Christian man, both of us with ministries and being used by God, I fell. Somehow I allowed myself to believe I was helping the other person, but I fell hopelessly in love. I allowed this deception to continue for 3 years, and I don't understand God's grace and goodness, but He protected me from being discovered. I had a good Christian friend whom I could go to for help and guidance, as I struggled to give up this powerful bondage. Eventually and with many tears and many times of repentance, I came through. I prayed to God that if he wished for me to tell all to my husband, that he had the permission from me in his time. That time may still come. In the meantime, our marriage is very good. I have accepted this awesome forgiveness that God provides, when we least deserve it. I have moments when Satan scares me into thinking God has not forgiven, but they are only fleeting times, and I again quickly turn on your Live Worship CD and weep before my God. Terry, come back. It is not worth it. God loves you so much, and Satan is trying to destroy you. Don't let him win. To experience God's forgiveness is the sweetest thing. When you do, nothing else matters anymore. Just loving God and doing His will. I just know God loves you and is waiting.

Posted by Forgiven in Australia @ 02:06 on May 25 2009

I must add something to my previous post. It is the enemy's tactic to STOP you from ministering, as the ministry God has given you is so powerful in breaking the enemy's ground. Don't allow your feelings to keep you down. You do need to repent if you have not already, there is no doubt about that, but the enemy has you exactly where he wants you, if he has stopped the creation of worship music for the one, at whose feet every knee shall bow. This is not really about you, this is about giving the enemy a win.

The truth is in the word of God Psalm 103:
11 For as high as the heavens are above the earth,
so great is his love for those who fear him;

12 as far as the east is from the west,
so far has he removed our transgressions from us.

13 As a father has compassion on his children,
so the LORD has compassion on those who fear him;
I will continue to pray that you will soon rise, not in your own strength, but propelled by the one who already won the battle for you. I pray too, that your wife will receive God's grace to help her forgive.

I'm in shock. Last nite we watched your DVD For the Lord is Good and I listened to your testimony driving to work today. I've just looked on net to find this news. How the Lord has worked and been in your life, remember this. We serve an wonderful Jesus. I pray you will come to a decision soon, its been a year. Put Jesus first as he alone knows the best for your future. Satan only comes to seek, kill and destroy. But we have the faith and trust in Jesus for victory. Contact Sid Roth.

Hardly a day passes that I don't listen to one of your songs on one of your CDs, or play from one of your music books. How my heart aches for you. I, too, fell into sin resulting in the splitting of my family.....and for 35 years served everything except the Lord. And, it has always been tempting to blame others, my ex-wife, etc., but the fact is I willfully chose to turn my back on my Lord and family.

Because He is gracious, forgiving, loving, and kind; He has restored my to Himself, and I have for the last 13 years has enabled me through the Holy Spirit to walk close to Him. And while I still face consequences resulting from 35 years of serving self and flesh; he has dismissed it from His memory. He will do likewise for you. I pray for restoration of your fellowship with our Heavenly Father.....please don't wait 35 years!

I love what the Lord gave us through Terry's voice worship from above. We are all capable to fall out of grace if we take our eyes of the King. If we fight with our mate no of us would agree murder is in our hearts most of those fights!! Yet one of the commandments is do not murder! In all are hearts they need circumcised, from the filth of the curruption of fallen man, we need Jesus. Many believers do not know God's word. Which is life and helps them in times of trouble. God's people perish because why??? Lack of knowledge, what kind of knowledge His knowledge. Man thinks many things are right in his sight but God's word is TRUTH, hide it into your heart!!

My prayers go out to brother Terry, knowing that none of us are exempt from spiritual attacks. Have purchased and used many of his anointed CDs at my church.

Dearest Terry,

If you ever read this, the world needs you. The kingdom of God needs you. I don't think there is a service in our church in Dubai when we dont sing one of the songs from your cds. The anointing you have been given to lead people straight to the throne is from our King alone.

I was just watching Benny Hinn's fire crusade which was held on May 29th, 09 and they played your LIVE WORSHIP cd while he was ministering. They didn't want just anyone to sing it... so they played your cd. Such is the anointing you had. His grace is sufficient for you and His strength is made perfect in your weakness. Please come back.. we need you. His anointing breaks every yoke... and I am sure you can come back! God Bless you.

My wife and i have been listening to Terry's music for a few years and just learned about his fall. Terry's music still fills our home and the presence of God still fills our hearts through the music. In my 46 years of being a Christian and all my ups and downs and turning my back on God, there are times that i can not call Him Lord but i can always call Him Father. Terry, God told me at one point,"you just love Me and let Me take care of the rest". Jesus didn't die for part of our sins He died to forgive ALL of them. Blessings

I stand on the rock of ages and pray that the lord will restore Terry back to the ministry and to his family in the name of Jesus christ. Amen. I have all his anointed CDS at home and in the car. Jesus will do it again for Terry and his Wife in a mighty way.Amen.

I pray that he picks himself up and start over again.  His music ministry has blessed millions upon millions of people.  His pure-hearted worship helped me in my process of learning how to worship God.   The call upon his life is greater than his fall.   There is restoration for him.  It is still not too late.  We all fall down, but by the Grace and Mercy of God, we get back up again!

Der Brother, Terry.
You have no idea how much your ministry has blessed my wife and I plus countless others in various churches where we live. You have a gift and an anointing far beyond anyone else I have heard lead worship. You are so able to truly draw people into a Holy of Holies experience with our LORD. Please put this all behind you and come back to where God placed you. He is not through with you yet. His gifts and callings are without repentance (Rom. 11:29). My wife and I will continue to pray for you and your wife. God has forgiven you and so have we. Now you must forgive yourself and do what our LORD has created you to do - lead us in worship - in spirit and in truth.
I have used several of your anointed worship songs in services I have led and everyone loves singing them and entering into true worship.
God bless you as you make your way back to the world God created you for.
With much love and prayer.

All he has to do now is repent and go back to his wife and children. That is the right thing to do according to the word of God. Adultery is sin, and God hates divorce.

Posted by Tyrone in Canada @ 14:57 on Jun 20 2009

Brother Terry,
You were called for such a time as this, the enemy of your soul has launched an all out attack on your life, especially in regards of your worship ministry. You may have yielded to this attack, and feel as though you are left to fend for yourself, I believe the Lord will raise you up in these last days, and pour on you a rich anointing that will release you from the chords of wickedness.
I speak a release over your ministry, in the name of Jesus, and now may the river of living water begin to flow once again.
God Bless You!!!!

Posted by Jerry Brandt in Tampa @ 13:54 on Jun 21 2009

Terry, you and I had become friends through mutual worship and we are using your video worship, as you know around the world with our MAT teams going to remote villages. I sit here this Father's day morning listening to your worship DVD again and enjoying the presence of the Lord.

Posted by David in Houston @ 02:27 on Jul 3 2009

We all have failed in one way or another and one does not make it worse than another. Jesus says that if we asked for forgiveness then it is given. I love you Terry and your music has helped me enter into worship with Jesus so much. I pray as do others that you are restored and that God perform a miracle in your life. You shall not be judged on earth by man but by God almighty. So hurry up. I miss your music and your sincere message through song and music. As the song states, How we need the rivers. My take on that is that if it doesn't ever rain on us and the river never flows then why would we need to enter worship with God. We would be perfect. So let your rivers run and let the floods wash away all you troubles and with every storm there is a peace. I thank God for you and I will pray for your life to be blest. You are forgiven.

I feel the deep pain inside for Terry and Greta. I have been taken up to heaven so often by His music. I feel so sad. How can we restore this family?

Posted by C Miller in Raleigh, NC @ 03:29 on Jul 7 2009

Pastor MacAlmon:

I was searching for a web site to purchase some lead sheets of your music and found this site. I have been listening to your music for over a year and have felt the deep worship accompained by your CD's.

I choose to call you pastor because you are a pastor and I know from over 35 years of ministry the battle pastors face on a daily basis. My husband and I have ministered and know the fatigue that can set in over a long period of time. It is during that period of time, our mantle can become heavy. It is always the responsibility of the church to hold up their pastors and cover them in prayer. Without the covering of prayer, pastor's are made vulnerable. I am not discounting the decisions that have been made to bring you to this place but every pastor that has a loss of ministry did not get there by themselves. I am disturbed by some postings that are judgmental and analyzing.

I am trusting that you and your family are working through this time of hurt. Pastor, surround yourself with honorable, righteous men who seek to minister to you and lift you up to the Father. Tearing down does not compliment God's work in our life. For your wife, seek women who can encourage you and be the bridge back to wholeness. God does not annoint without knowing the future. There is a purpose to everything and sometimes we must choose to accept the pain and push through to a greater relationship with Jesus. There is nothing that we can do that God cannot use to glorify him if we will allow the process.

Blessings and wholeness to you and your family

Posted by Desi in Houston,USA @ 18:31 on Jul 8 2009

Dear brother Terry,
I have not seen or heard anybody usher people into the presence of God like you, you have an unbelievable annointing and God has placed a mantle on you. My husband and I with our children listen to your worship songs alot when we pray. You have to come to the point where you know that it is not about you but about the souls God has placed in your hands. There are millions of souls out there waiting for you to usher them into the presence of God. Your wife & family are waiting for you, you are the priest of your house. Yes we fall down but we get up. The Lord has not left you, His annointing is still upon you. Get up and resume your place. May God bless you and your family and may His Grace overwhelm you. You have to accomplish your destiny, God has given you power and dominion over everything.

Shalom Terry, Greta & Children,
No matter what trouble are, as long as God is still on His throne and hears and answers prayer, and just so long as your faith in Him is still intact, everything will come out all right!
Man is born unto trouble, as the spark fly upward(Job 5:7); Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the Lord delivereth him out of them all(Psalm 34:19); For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory(2 Corinthians 4:17); In the world ye shall have tribulation:but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world(John 16:33).
We must be careful how we react when troubles come. Be careful how we respond in face of difficulty and trial. When adversity and misfortune are our lot, that my friend, is the time to look up, to trust God, for He is in control. And He never makes a mistake. Amen!

Posted by Derrick Daniel in Trinidad @ 04:38 on Jul 25 2009

At first when I got this news I was in total disbelief and shock, but then I came down to earth and realised that we are all human and sometimes our flesh can get the better of us, that however does not justify our actions but as you said, when we take our eyes off of JESUS we leave room for the enemy to sift us like wheat. We are no match for Satan. Your music is of a different class, your worship is phenominal, take time to recover. God will see you through, he never gives us more than we can bear..

Terry's ministry has bless my life so much.as a worship leader my self,i've never ceased to be thankful for such a precious anointing on his life.I pray that the God of the second chance who never gives up on us even when we dont believe in ourselves will restore him even to a ahigher place in Jesus's name.Terry and gretta we love you.

Dear Brother Terry,

I'am also one of worship team here at Bacolod, Phils. And we're also blessed every time we meditate your songs. All of us here at Word Of Life Ministry, are truly blessed every time we hear you worshipping God from your heart. And I truly admire you as God's worshiper!

Brother Terry, always remember that God does not condemn, so do we. We love you, and I do hope & pray that you'll come back soon.

Please remember also, that more souls are blessed & saved because of you! God use you mightily & we do believe that He also in stores something great in you, and that's the reason why Satan is trying to attack you!

brother Terry! Don't condemn yourself, stand strong in the Lord & keep on running the race for His name sake! People are healed, saved, restored, & refreshed every time they hear you singing.

We love you! And I would really say this to you! No weapon forms against you shall prosper! In the mighty name of Jesus! We love you & we want you back soon! Please be strong!

Posted by Rev. LaVerne in New York @ 23:10 on Jul 29 2009

Another one bites the dust. I read some of the comments and everyone seems to say oh just repent and keep on making music. God is love and we are all human. Well it's not that easy. Terry may have brought all of us into the presence of God with his music, but evidently it didn't do the same for him. And that's the problem, his heart. If he never plays or sings again, more important is his heart to be right with God. He was made for God's pleasure, not ours. I cried when I read about his affair and his unwillingness to go back to his wife. Yes, our God is a forgiving God, but He is also a just God who will punish sin. Yes, I will pray for him, not to return to singing, but to turn back to have a heart after his God.

Remember David. He was a man after God's own heart. I was ready to quit the music ministry when a friend gave me "You're my glory". It changed me. We are on the front lines of the battlefield, Brother Terry. You know this. PROVERBS 24:16. Greta, I lift you up to the Lord Jesus as I write. May you find the forgiveness necessary in this situation and may your love and life be resurrected to a new and supernatural level. Don't let the enemy win!

I am so shocked to hear this as Terry has been my role model when it comes to worship. Terry, you've blessed my heart. Whenever i want to engage in worship i alway use you tape, and most times i'll say to myself what an annointing, what a man of God. My brother, dont you dare give up as God is a a God of mercy. My heart is with you and your family and am praying for you.

Posted by eleanor rooks in Philadelphia @ 02:45 on Aug 1 2009

"For we all have sinned and come short of the glory of God." But God is a healer and a restorer. Terry, you truly have the annointing of God to worship and bring others into His presence and I know as a fellow worship leader that our lives are constatanly bombarded by attacks from the enemy because that was orginally his position. He knows how vital and how important it is for God to be worshipped so he tries his hardest especially on those who God has annointed to come and bring others into His presence. My prayer is that God will bring healing to you and your precious family. I wept because I literally could feel the pain that the enemy has caused, but he is defeated!!!!!! As a fellow worshipper, my prayer is for restoration and strength to you and your family. I look forward to the day when you can sing your new song of praise and healing.

Posted by Cousin John in United States, Mansfield, OH @ 20:27 on Aug 6 2009

Dear Cousin,
To some extent I understand your dilemma. Having pastored myself I know the need for companionship in leadership. Time will teach you that the one you have history with, Greta, is the one who will bring the most satisfaction, especially when reflecting on the past. There are always two sides. But righteousness demands a choice that will honor God finally. It takes a while, but trust can be restored and one can learn to love again. My heart goes out to you in honest and compassionate love. If you are honest wisely with your ministry following, they will forgive and receive you warmly. I pray you will remember your family heritage, eespecially on the MacAlmon side.

Posted by Melodie Thomas in Albany,Oregon @ 23:22 on Aug 11 2009

Terry,
I found out today about your situation. I hope that your choosing to leave your wife and family is not because you don't love her any more. God can restore the love you once had for her, and make it even stronger. I read many of the e-mails and agree with all of them except the one who was so judgmental. I agree very strongly that God does not want couples to divorce. I will pray for you and your family.

Posted by Andrew in Cape Town South Africa @ 12:23 on Aug 19 2009

Hi Man of God and family. I don't believe that you have fallen. You are being tested and you will stand up again. The anointing will break every stronghold over your life and raise you up to be even used in a more anointing way as before. I am still playing your music. During our prayer meetings every Saturday your music help us and leads us into the presence of our Lord. Only God restores. We are praying that the restoration will be quick and that forgiveness will be quick. The Grace of God rests upon you and your family. We love you.

I heard terry music just 3 months ago and i felt and drowned in the presence of God. He is one of a kind worshiper and began to admired him. I was so shocked when i heard the news about him. I just wept. My heart aches for him. Gods calling is irrevocable and i believe in Gods time he will be restored. For Greta, be strong. God is with you and terry so who can be against you. God grants the desires of our hearts and no good things will he withhold from your family. Terry we missed you... Arise, and you will see that the Lord is good. Im praying for you. Gods gift is still in you and He never take back what He has already given. Your my favorite worshiper.

Terry you are the best worship leader and your musci have changed me and i used it here in Hong kong to worship in our worship time.
It is amazing Romans 8:1--3 There is therefore no condemnation to them that are in christ Jesus
Like david you can be forgiven all you need is to ask. and remember when david had an extramarital affairs with uriah's wife beethsheeba. she became pregnant and david killed his husband. but God forgave him but he said the blood wll not live your family. so it brought shame in the heavenlies cause of the life. But david went to heaven he did not stop he continued and was better than before and solomon came from this.
Roms 8:28 all things work together for good to them that love God and are called according to his purpose. Don't give up come back and carry on. we will pray for you.

Terry, many years I lived with a hunger in my soul but could not pin point what it was till I listened to your music. I realised that what I longed for was to be a worshipper. Since then, I have not been the same. Joys fill my heart in worship. God used you to bless me and millions around the world. He will restore you if you call unto Him. He is an ever present help in our times of need. Please call on Him and He will restore you and give you the peace you so much desire. Listen to Him and heed His voice and be blessed.
My prayer goes to the family. The Lord your God is with you. He hears your cry and feels your pain. May He give you peace and encompass you with His love. AMEN.

I have been on the other side, the same as your wife and if she is truly is a christian she wants more than anything for you to be restored not condemed. For she has a tearing in her soul. God makes two as one and it is true. You are forgiven, for I know you have asked now just forgive yourself and be about getting your family and life back in order. You have such an annointing on your music, don't waste what God bestowed on you. Move forward...The Potter will Rebuild.

Still, I am going to sleep each night listening to one of the four tapes I have of yours, Terry. NEVER could you know what a difference they've made - so very different from all other CD's I have that the're the only ones I ever listen to ! Yes, all things DO work together for good to those who love God & are called according to His purpose...AND, the next verse give the reason: "THAT WE MIGHT BE CONFORMED TO THE IMAGE OF HIS SON"....which is my heart's fervent prayer for you, dear brother in Jesus. LET US KNOW when you have repented and returned to your family...and "all of us" ! ...Lovingly in our LORD Jesus

Dear Terry,

My family has been blessed greatly by you worship. Even today as we listen to your music the Lord's annoining is heavy. My father used to love your songs but he is with the Lord now .... We are praying for God's restoration on your life and a double annointing on your ministry ..... PLEASE DONT GIVE UP. Your Father is standing at the altar and waiting for you to come to Him . Pls dont hurt HIM.

Dear Greta,
I have no words to comfort you but we are with you and your family and we feel the hurt that you are going through. God is with you and He loves you and your family. We pray in the mighty name of Jesus that the devil who has caused this bitterness in your family take his hands off right now and that the presence of the Lord will engulf you and your family in a very special way !

Posted by Doreen T. in Illinois, USA @ 22:32 on Sep 6 2009

I have absolutely fallen in love with your music and your wonderful gift and attitude of worship. Your music have stirred up the longing to worship in me that for so long has lain dormant. This is just another onslaught of the enemy on the work of the Lord as He continues to use you through His divine anointing, to demonstrate to us what true worship should be. God, our heavenly Father has already forgiven you. You now will need to forgive yourself and move on in the name of Jesus. There are other members of this wonderful family that are praying for you at this time. Rise up, brother and move forward in the strength of your God and our God. Don't let the enemy think he has won. NEVER! We fall, but let's pick ourselves up in the name of the Lord and go forward. We are living in a fallen world. None of us is susceptible to the wiles and cunning of the enemy. Remember, God's grace is sufficient for you and your family at this time and his strength will be made perfect in your/our weakness.
I was prompted to pray for you before writing this letter and I am positive God is at work on your behalf. I hope that your wife will stand by you and hold your hand in this difficult time. I love you my brother and will be praying for you. You have been a blessing to me. Looking forward to your next worship CD because I know it will be 200% better than those you have already made because of this experience. God bless you and your family.

Terry, The blood of Jesus never looses its power. The father's arms are opened waiting in earnest expectation to embrace those who left home. Come back home Terry, Daddy is waiting for you. Remember there is no sin on earth that Jesus has not already paid for. Come on Terry, come back home, a party has been planned in your honor. Brothers and sisters on earth, the crowd of witnesses, and heavenly angelic host are trigger ready to burst out in joyous celebration of your homecoming. Arise!! Terry and come just as you are. God don't mind, He will restore you. That is what he loves doing.
The devil is a liar! God wants to cover your nakedness and give you a new beginning. You are God's and He loves you in your present state. God wants you to trust Him for a miracle of restoration...
Praise God!! you are coming back home Terry.. We will see you soon bro.

Posted by Wonder A in Tulsa @ 08:30 on Sep 12 2009

Greta,
May the peace of God that surpasses all under-standing continue to keep your soul, spirit, and your mind safe in Christ. Don't forget that your faith is being tried.. it is in these times that God boasts about His children that they will do what He tells them to. Therefore do not lean on your own understaning, trust Him, acknowledge Him and He shall direct your paths.. Remember the love that God poured in your heart through the Holy Spirit is not agape but divine. Agape can go as fars as one's strength can handle, but divine love transcends human capabilities: this love is patient, is kind, does not act improperly, is not provoked, does not keep wrongs, does not keep record of wrongs, finds no joy in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth. This is divine love. Notice! It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, and endures all things. Divine love never, never, never fails. Not only is your faith being tried, divine love is being tested. God is confident that if you rely on Him, this love will never fail. You are a winner... Prove the devil wrong.. that no amount of pressure he puts on you will be able to seperate you from this love. God loves you and is proud of you.

I, like many who have already commented, have been blessed by your music, especially LIVE WORSHIP. We have used your music to lead us to prayer and worship. I am just finding out, but I know that God forgives. He knows our frame and remembers that we are dust. He can restore the years that the locusts have eaten. I pray for you and your family. Our hearts are broken.

Posted by Sirpa in Finland @ 21:15 on Sep 23 2009

The Lord who is able to turn a curse to a blessing is also able to turn our self-righteousness to His holy righteousness. There is no good in flesh, only God is good, you know that. Turn back to possibilities of Jesus's blood and forgive yourself. After that God can forgives you, too, and you become totally free. "Whenever you stand up to pray, forgive whatever you have against anyone, so that your Father in heaven will forgive your sins." (Mark. 11:25). It's easier to forgive to others, but we have to forgive also to ourselves. Also I have gone through a very painful period in my life because of my own choices that didn't glorify Jesus. I'll never forget that hard time, but I'm still working for God because of God's faithful. I trust in Jesus. Also King David trusted in God. And many others. Satan tries to invalidate the meaning of the Work of Jesus' Cross. You are a sinner like all of us. Also your wife is a sinner. All we need Jesus. Humble yourself and come back, there's lots to do in God's Kindom. God bless you and your family. Your sister in Jesus Christ.

Please get back into the fold, look how you affected the entire church body on the planet, you are just a fallen soldier, nothing new in God's kingdom. Don't let the devil win your battle...you are totally redeemed and beloved, get back in the army you know your orders. You will never, ever be complete without flowing in your gifts and talents, there's a price for everything, including serving our Master.

That Devil thinks he's stop the move of God through Terry's life, but He is a liar. This too shall pass and the king of glory shall shine once again over you terry. So get ready this is just the beginning.
It may look like you've fallen but your testiminy shall save hundreds and thousands too come.
You haven't seen your best days yet

We can be all spiritual about these types of things all we want to, but the bottom line is that certain seasons come into our lives because of the WRONG decisions we make, and it's REALLY our own fault that certain things happen to us. It's not because God doesn't love us, and it's not necessarily because God wanted it to happen to us. We CAN choose to not live according to His Will for our lives, and when we do that, we WILL reap negative consequences. It's the law of sowing and reaping.

Brother Terry we are only human and God knows our shortfalls(iniquities).Tell me what sin is bigger,a lie or extramarital affair.In God's eyes both are sin.Acknowledge you wrong to God like king David did and humble your self before Him once more.He will embrace you again.I am not trying to deny or cover up the sin but saying seek God for His mercy.He will definitle honour your prayers.May the hand of God be upon your family in this difficult period.Your family is very important to God as well.Reconcile in everyway and let God be God the Healer.

My pastor recently gave me one of your CD's. It is perhaps the most touching music I have ever heard. I don't know the details of your recent issues but you need to know this that we need you. I hope you know that the forgiveness of the Lord is the most powerful thing in this world. Don't think that there is some magical thing you can do to make this better. Put it in the Lord's hands and get back to that piano. I pray for the healing of your family whether you stay or get divorced.

Brother Terry,as you are leading the redeemed in worship,expressing gratitude to Our Father,may be when He quiets us with His love and rejoices over us with singing. Zeph.3:16,17.
Why worshiping God is so profound? I think, it starts with God's dream for man,all thru the Bible: I will be their God and they shall be my people,a special treasure to me above all people,I will dwell among the children of Israel. I(Wisdom)was
beside Him as a master craftsman;And I was daily His delight,...And My delight was with the sons of man Prov.8:30,31....But of Him.....Christ Jesus who became for us wisdom from God...1 Cor.1;30.Jesus is very involved,since creation: ...without Him nothing was made that was made.-John 1:3. After the fall,God could send an angel,but Jesus decided rather die than live without them(sons of man). You have seen what I did to the Egiptians,and how I bore you.....and brought you to Myself-Exod 19:4.First generation died,but God has relentless love....I will put My law in their minds,and write it on their hearts...Jer.31:31-33.Jesus is in process of preparing His bride:...nourishes and cherishes it,...Eph.5:26-29.Fulfillment of God's dream-Rev.21:2-7 He who overcomes...I will be his God and he shall be My SON. Love- the action:..who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross,despising the shame and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God-Hebrew 12:2. If Jesus did not quit on the cross,He will never give up on us...Brotherly love, Lidia

Terry,
My soul aches for you and your family, and my prayers are with you.
It's 2 o'clock at night. I could not sleep. The Lord brought you to my mind and prompted me to go to the computer to understand why you have left the ministry. Now I know.
We serve a compassionate, merciful and forgiving God.
Come back and serve Him again. Your ministry has been a blessing to me, my husband and my prayer group.

Posted by Tami in Dallas, TX @ 22:14 on Oct 4 2009

Terry,
Now is the time for you to return to ministry - - the world needs you!
As one who has fallen in the same area, I can tell you with confidence that God is able to clean you up & set you on the right path. God has healed me of lust - - truly a miracle! That same miracle is available to you! Submit to God and the enemy must flee!
You have many more years of God-inspired creativity ahead of you. Come home to the Father's heart!
In Christ,
Tami

hmmm...what more can the devil do ? That is his ministry, he is a deceiver . The only mistake you should not make is to be proud not to ask for God's mercies, forgiveness and restoration. He is willing to forgive and restore. Remember that self pity and denial is not the case now. Its a battle and the weapon of our walfare are not carnal but mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds.
Please put the devil to shame by rising again by the arms of the almighty. God is willing and waiting.
You dont want the devil to spoil it all and rejoice ...remember the salvation of your family and some in the faith is tied to this. Come on brother there is more ground to gain.

Posted by Esperance in New York @ 20:12 on Oct 13 2009

All I can say is that you are in my prayers.
I believe that your resignation will not take you out of your Father's home like the prodigal son.
The fact you have recognized that you had sinned, Our father, your father in heaven is also ready to forgive.
May Peace the Peace of CHRIST be always With You.

Peace & Love

IF we confess , he's faithful to forgive , Go and sin no more.

"Winners are people who do not quit. When you stay down you're letting the devil win. Get up, don't stay down. Get up and put him down. Keep him down!" He's just a liar, Terry. Think right--remember who you are in Christ and be loved. Jesus didn't die a torturous death for our redemption so we could smother in condo bondo. Rise up...

"Now rise up and let Me love you, Let me wrap My love around you, You're My love and I adore you, Rise! Get yourself back in the Spirit, Speak My Word so you can hear it, So you and heaven, earth and hell with realize, That you'll never be defeated 'cause you're God's own DNA, You're the offspring of the Highest, satan can't take that away, And I've never lost a battle and I'm not about to start, So get your mind back on My thoughts for you and your heart back in My heart..."

The Spirit and the Bride say "Come". Love from Dad and the family!

This is shocking news. I pray God will restore you as you have such a great gift of leading people into worshipping. This is so evident because of all the comments.

Brother Terry, i love you en your music is a big blessing for me and the church. God will help you out of this dark hour. Be strong! The Lord will forgive you.
You will win this battle in your life greatly.
Rom. 8:28

Pray, pray, pray and keep praying for the annointed man of God and his family. Satan had to come on REALLY REALLY STRONG to attempt to destroy this ministry. I, and many others, have been so blessed by this ministry. Terry's CD comforted my entire family when my uncle passed away 2 years ago. We piped the worship music in the funeral home and a peace was in that place and continued throughout the day and days after. No one is exempt from sin. We must hold them up in prayer and we all know that GOD IS A RESTORATION GOD!!!!!AMEN, AMEN, AND AMEN.

Posted by Jane in Dallas TX @ 15:26 on Oct 23 2009

Holy Holy Holy are you Lord has been playing in my head for the past two days. Terry and his family came to mind, and I feel the need to support them in prayer at this time. Ask the Lord for His direction and let us stand together in Love and support and wisdom and grace and mercy in the name of our Lord.

Posted by Deb in Brooklyn, NY @ 04:12 on Oct 26 2009

Dear Terry & Family,

When God, places an calling on your life, your trials and struggles will be even greater. So I pray for the family, and for you Terry. Right now things look a dark, but always remember there is light at the end of the tunnel. And that light is Jesus. Your music, and the love and support of your family helped me, when I need to hear angles singing and the move of the holy spirit. I'm still listening, and praying for you. If Sandy Patty, who I love and cherish also can do. In God's time, you will be able to do it to. Love support and prays to you all. I'm awaiting your return.

When I was down into the pit of hell, walking into the valley of the shadow of death, your music, Terry, was the rod that showed me to the Lord. For what you have brought to the body of Christ and to my life, I bless you and pray that you will be restored as God restored my husband, in double portion! May you be refreshed in Him.

Posted by Pst Chy in Nigeria @ 19:45 on Nov 2 2009

He that is without sin, let him cast the first stone says the Lord. None of us is without offense Terry so we pray for you and your family and we trust God to restore. Jer33:6. We love you Terry and know this is just an attack of the enemy on the Body of Christ. He seeks to defame and discredit the church but rise to this occasion and we shout RESTORE LORD!!

Posted by Pastor Libny Pineda in Alamo, TX @ 15:21 on Nov 16 2009

Let's remember that those of us who are in ministry receive more attacks from satan than most of people. We need to pray but also we need the people of God to pray for us. Let's keep our brother McAlmon in our prayers for his restoration and healing. I have been blessed much with his ministry. This is also a warning to all of us to avoid judging others no matter how much we are into the ministry. Let's be humble and keep watching never trusting in ourselves for the victory is of the Lord.

Posted by Larry Ware in Peoria, IL @ 21:37 on Nov 16 2009

Jesus is all about love, mercy, grace, and forgiveness, without which, none of us will see the Kingdom of God. I believe all these messages on behalf of Terry MacAlmon sum up these qualities of our gracious God and His true Church. Terry, know that the Body of Christ is praying for you and extend His love to you at this most difficult time. We all have fallen short of the Glory of God.

Good news! I discovered that Terry is now playing and leading worship at a new restaurant called Majesty's in Flower Mound, TX (about 20 miles north of the DFW airport). I was there on business several weeks ago and he was magnificent (first time I'd met him). Go to www.dfwmajestys.com for more info. I envy you Texans who are going to get to see him on a regular basis. I went to Sunday brunch and the food was great and I requested and he played "Even So" for me (made me cry). I then went to a buffet that Tuesday night & Terry led worship to the packed restaurant crowd. God's presence was there! Welcome back Terry!

Posted by forgiven in Australia @ 13:35 on Nov 20 2009

So excited to hear about Terry being back on deck. I have often prayed for you Terry as have hundreds of others. Your music ministers to me and all that I pass it on to. I knew that you would be back. God's love and forgiveness and grace are beyond our human understanding. He who has been forgiven much loves much. Stay in love with Jesus!!!! And keep singing to Him who is worthy!!!!
