Uhope Ministries - AKA Ihop Shreveport, LA

[southernfried]

I first want to say I am so sorry to those of you who have been hurt by James Crawford - my heart goes out to you and you will be in my prayers. It has been a year since my husband and I have disassociated with James. After having read other post here there is obviously a pattern in his relationships. In looking back, he initially began to drive a wedge between my husband and I right off the bat by planting seeds of doubt. No true shepherd of God would operate in this manner, in fact, a true shepherd would encourage, restore and nuture that which God has joined together. James is disillusional and thinks himself more highly than he is. "Stick close to me and you will be ok and part of the remnant," is what he told me. Here is the main thing I learned from this experience that I want to pass along to those that have ears to hear. It was pride in ME (thinking my own self more highly, special, called and/or annointed) that allowed me to fall into his trap. I ate up the so called "prophetic words" he spoke to me because they fed my ego. Our association ended with James abruptly when we discovered his wife's post here on this site and confronted him when the truth was exposed. My husband has ask me to never contact James him again unless he was present. I agreed and have not nor will not contact him ever again. Ladie's BEWARE there is a very, very strong spiritually seductive and divisional spirit working through this man - don't play with fire or you will be burned. Just one more observation...isn't it odd that James would which identities from Uhope to Ihop. James if you read this, my words to you are - to season your words of God's judgement to others because you just might have to eat your very own words one day. James, impregnating another man's wife while you are still married calls for major and public repentance - anything less is an abomimation and a slap to face of a Holy God.

[Pastor John R]

From John:

I am John, a friend of the man you speak of. I too am a prophetic pastor. Adultery hurts people, without dispute. I am 53 years old and am still growing everyday in prophecy. Sometimes those most gifted are most tricked by the devil and yes this too causes pain. Anyone who has ever prophesied knows that the Bible says "Try the spirits to see whether they be from God." We hear from the Spirit, demonic and our own spirit especially if we are being tempted with lust. This may mean that we are stronger in the prophetic because we are extra sensitive to the Spirit realm.

When I hear of this happening I usually pay close attention to the messages of that prophet. After 24 years of prophesying I have made many bad judgement calls and have been tempted to stop but my wise brethren lovingly encouraged me to repent and try again. Unfortunately, this will happen until Jesus' return in the prophetic ministry.

I, along with 2 other ministers are tweeking and encouraging James at this time. I have been talking with James several times each week for three months. One of his other two friends who are ordained ministers have been walking with him since before the adultery stopped. Though it only lasted around two months it has caused much hurt. The support group James has is accepting requests to talk with people, especially those who are called to work with him and us at the city unity meetings. I will leave my email for all who wish to correspond with me. If you do not love this man we have nothing to talk about but if you have sincere questions contact me anytime.

To the husband in this situation, know that I mourn with you and pray for you. My family has been praying for all involved. I too, was a victim of adultery and it was devastating. It was the greatest advance of my Christian life in the long run because the Lord taught me to forgive and rely on him more fully. But it was devastating and I can relate to your hurt.

James suggested that one of us respond to these postings and after several days of prayerful consideration I agree as do others I have discussed this with. James has joined a ministerial association and that organization will be made public soon. I will bow out of the picture soon as James continues to organize a committe of advisors for his ministry.

First I want to say, I met James 6 years ago when he showed up at our church, skinny and ragged from fasting and praying alone, in the mountains of Alabama. At the end of the 1st service he attended, he prophecied glorious, specific prophecies to around 12 people, turned our pastors silver dental crowns gold and birthed a glorious 2 month revival that they still talk about in that town 6 years later. For the next 2 months he taught us how to commune with God's Spirit almost every morning and to go deep in prophecy. I have still never met a person more in love with God and I do not speak solely of his gifting.

Like David, God anointed and raised him up and he committed the sin of adultery and it hurt people. However, who are we to touch God's anointed? Besides that, the Bible says Judge not lest ye be judged. I have seen the many emails James sent to the husband and they were many and very remorseful. Your emails back to him were very mean and understandably so. I am not trying to make you stop posting negative mesages, I am only defending the man that is cleared by Jesus' blood and being raised up for all our benefits.

You said James wants nothing to do with the baby. That is not true. This is why this response is needed. He celebrates and loves his new daughter and prays and talks to her very often. It is currently a couple or three times per week and the mother and James are working together very well. He has paid full child support since she was born and has every intention of raising her to be a lover of God.

This young man is learning alot and has made mistakes but he is applying his heart to correct them. That is why he still has favor with so many pastors across the south who continue to receive from his ministry and encourage others to drop the stones and say "neither do I condemn you" as did our saviour when the lady was caught in adultery. If all the homeless, demonized, sick, lukewarm people aho have been touched by this man would stand for him this message board could not contain the words.

When I saw the economy failing as he prophesied in my hearing at one of his Pastor meetings in Georgia, I called him and he confided this situation to me.

He is the only man I ever saw prophesy a specific date that a tornado would touch down. I could not count the good deeds I have witnessed first hand through this man. Have you ever known of anyone to pray for someone for 14 hours and deliver them from scizophrenia? This lady is still a functional secretary at that church today. I saw this with my own eyes. What about all the people he has awakened to fast, pray and repent, which is a precious rarity today. How bout all the many deliverances, healing miracles and prophetic words that are happening exactly as he said right now. Go to www.ihop-shreveport.com (http://www.ihop-shreveport.com/) or www.uhopepray.com. (http://www.uhopepray.com./)Do you realize how much prayer and fasting he has endured for the body of Christ? I know of 5 pastors in Georgia who were touched at two of this man's Pastor meetings and have never been the same. He emailed me a picture of the Front Page of Shreveport's newspaper that said "Revival Tackles Community Issues." Thousands and thousands of people saw James lead pastors to burn Harry Potter and pornography mags.

Every city needs a James Crawford.

Pastor James did this knowing that the media could find out about the adultery. Why? Because he chose to obey God? Why? Because He loves God.

I, along with other ministers have read James' emails to the husband and the wife and we are convinced that James humbly confessed and asked the forgiveness of both of you.

In regards to the other people who posted derogatory remarks here, James has much material including emails, audio and video files that will paint an altogether different picture than was impressed on the minds of the public about this man and his motives. There has been repentance and now there must be justice.

Because we will not air another person's sins in public, we will show many tokens of proof that James was not the stalking perpetrator this message list makes him out to be. This info will be made available only to ministers or others called to serve along side James. I am convinced, after hearing and seeing proof, that the wife was pursuing James as much as he pursued her. They both sinned and they both deserve our acceptance and love because their Maker said it's so.

To the couple that said James tried to divide your marriage. James tells me that your husband was on drugs and he believes his boldness to prophesy you into your destiny probably caused him to repent for his backslidings. Your husband was left on fire for God, delivered from drugs, hopeful of his calling and prophesying with depth from what I hear. This is what James does. Are these things as precious to you as the apparent negative perception was risky. Knowing James the way I have come to know him, he only wants one thing. To bring people into the heart of God.

Maybe there will be a Part 2.

It would be nice if you got your facts straight before blogging your opinions. You say he only has one follower, his aunt, but then you talk about how he coaches and directs people and about his lack of accountability to other Christian leaders. How do you know he is not accountable to others? If his aunt is his only follower, whose mind is he controlling (certainly not his hard headed aunt). I happen to know that his main purpose in ministry is to get people into their prayer closet so they can hear God for themselves. Maybe you should try it. And, why should he let everyone know his private business when all they do when they get disgruntled is turn around and bite him like a snake. One other thing, his ministry is not to build a church but to house and disciple homeless people. Those he disciples do consitute a church though, and at present there are at least 14 people who worship with him daily, but his main mission is the discipling of people who need help. Some in his men's home and some over the internet. James will not try to answer you back because he would rather let God take care of it. I'm not as kind hearted. I think you need to spend time in your prayer closet and repent for slandering one of God's anointed servants.

[Pastor John R]

From John Ranker:

James' friend Willie Mae has written a truthful, spiritual and encouraging testimony of affirmation for James. Many other ministers, friends and even some people who previously did not like or understand James are contacting us and are speaking life over his life and purpose in God. James is a member of the Alabama Ministerial Association, who is an apostolic/prophetic organization and is continuing to expand his board of advisors, and you may contact any of the following people who are listed below.

The enemy has been trying to use hurt, immature, jealous, offended or doubtful people to stop the move of God in James because James is tearing down his strongholds. The people who will allow satan to tear down James' credibility or ministry relationships will probably not hesitate to tear down others so beware. Notice they did not give their names, their pastor's names or their ministry's names. They only openly condemned another man's character, motives and ministry. Even still, we do not feel it necessary at this point to take it a step further by exposing their names, their businesses, their pastors, their sins or their division to the body of Christ and to the world; though that is what they did. You see, if truth be known, only He, who is without sin can cast the stone.

If God were to reveal all the pornography, pride, lukewarmness, drug addiction, spousal neglect, prayerlessness, tolerance of worldliness allowed in our homes, indifference and spiritual slumbering in our lives then we would all be stone-less. As Willie puts it below, we must look at the "writing in the sand." When these men accused this lady caught in adultery, He wrote their sins in the sand. What a perfect picture of this situation. I've heard it said, "If God uses people without sin, He would not have called you to do the thing only few would do...why don't you do, what those you tear down do? Because you don't have the faith to?"

When the husband saw the newspaper where James led pastors and intercessors to publicly burn a Harry Potter book and pornography, he posted these blogs and sent letters to the pastors. This man is obviously hurt and bitter and we sympathize with his pain but the Lord is calling us to repent, fast, pray, unite, save souls, heal the sick, cast out demons.

To Whom This May Concern:
I am Willie Mae; a retired school teacher and friend of James Crawford for 5 years now. I worked closely with James in Rome, Georgia as I was a Social Service outreach minister and as he had a men’s house for the homeless through the church he planted here. We served together and became very close while he hosted my fundraisers and also helped me with my Performing Arts Program which is a grassroots program. I understand James thought I was ordained as a minister, but actually I am not. However, I have been ministering in a layman capacity at my present church for 14 years.

James called me during his adulterous affair, seeking strength and wisdom so that he could be free from the bondage of this immoral act. I knew then and I know now that James sincerely wanted to do what was right. He was weak and knew he was doing wrong, and I saw the struggle of his flesh and spirit and am convinced his spirit won because I heard his heart. I have since used his struggle as a teaching tool for others who are experiencing the same battle.

James has continued to call and ask my opinion on ministry decisions, unity meetings etc. When James asked me if I thought he should shut his ministry down or tell his pastor friends about his adultery I told him to do what the Lord tells him, and I understand they have been having a wonderful unity revival in Shreveport since he felt led to move forward. I have participated on James’ conference calls with other pastors of various denominations, races, and I believe he is doing many great things for God that few people care about. Who else wants to face the demonic attack of uniting cities to repent of racism, abortion, Harry Potter witchcraft, pornography, apathy, denominationalism, lukewarmness and prayerlessness. Who wants to accuse this ministry but the accuser of the brethren?

I am proud to continue to be an advisor to James’ Ministry and am willing to have other ministers and co-workers of his ministry to contact me at anytime. If you do not love James as God does please do not bother. My mind is going to always return to the "writing in the sand". Hopefully you too will remember the statement,"He who is with out sin cast the first stone". Of course when Jesus looks up and asks the woman Where are thou accusers?" .She was only able to reply that they had walked away without casting the stone... I saw a heart that was repentant with James . If anyone calls or emails me I would love to tell you more about why I believe in and love James.

It is a very devastating situation with the adultery and my heart sincerely goes out to the family and all involved. I sympathize with you and I will pray for all involved.

Sincerely,




Willie Mae

I would like to respond to some of these statements from Pastor John:

“Like David, God anointed and raised him up and he committed the sin of adultery and it hurt people. However, who are we to touch God's anointed? Besides that, the Bible says Judge not lest ye be judged. I have seen the many emails James sent to the husband and they were many and very remorseful. Your emails back to him were very mean and understandably so. I am not trying to make you stop posting negative messages, I am only defending the man that is cleared by Jesus' blood and being raised up for all our benefits.”

Am I not also God’s anointed? Are we not all God’s anointed? James is not any more favored by God then me or anyone else. A man is judged according to his works, and in this case they (actions) speak for themselves. One may be gifted but the anointing can leave without warning, just ask Samson. David did loose his kingdom to Absalom as a result of his sin. It took time but he did not get off without a price. Honestly, the idea that james lifts himself to the level of David is an example of the pride he walks in. See james did ask for forgiveness, yet lied to me in the same sentence. I asked for the truth from him and he said he had to pray about it, then he called my wife and they conspired and agreed on what the “truth” should be. How do you continue in sin and ask for forgiveness? Should I be judged harshly for a mean response to an email after I am lied to and betrayed? I am willing to risk it. I am not saying he is not forgiven, I am saying his mind may not be renewed.


“You said James wants nothing to do with the baby. That is not true. This is why this response is needed. He celebrates and loves his new daughter and prays and talks to her very often. It is currently a couple or three times per week and the mother and James are working together very well. He has paid full child support since she was born and has every intention of raising her to be a lover of God. “


Six weeks ago that was the case. He was willing to walk away. He is under no legal obligation to do anything. He has not pursued any visitation, nor is required to pay any amount by the court. He could stop tomorrow, ( because God said) and not think twice about it. He changed the amount he was going to pay to a lesser amount already. I feed this child. She smiles at me when I talk to her. I rock her to sleep at night. He has not come to see her yet once.


I, along with other ministers have read James' emails to the husband and the wife and we are convinced that James humbly confessed and asked the forgiveness of both of you.

Please keep in mind I do have better things to do with my time. I work full time with my own business, have put myself through Christian college, and am a ordained minister. The problem I have with james is that he confessed in part but wants forgiveness for all. I wanted to know who he was accountable to and he refused to give me that info. So now I am talking to some stranger about something I wish could just go away. I have forgiven james and do so on an almost daily basis. My issue is with the doctrines, tactics and teachings he uses. The prophetic word does not supersede scripture or basic moral standards laid out in the Word of God. It is his teaching that got him in to this situation. It is the rules he puts fourth for others about accountability and authority yet until now I didn’t truly know he had any.

In regards to the other people who posted derogatory remarks here, James has much material including emails, audio and video files that will paint an altogether different picture than was impressed on the minds of the public about this man and his motives. There has been repentance and now there must be justice.

This sounds like black mail.


To the couple that said James tried to divide your marriage. James tells me that your husband was on drugs and he believes his boldness to prophesy you into your destiny probably caused him to repent for his backslidings. Your husband was left on fire for God, delivered from drugs, hopeful of his calling and prophesying with depth from what I hear. This is what James does. Are these things as precious to you as the apparent negative perception was risky. Knowing James the way I have come to know him, he only wants one thing. To bring people into the heart of God.

Just because james believes something does not make it true, sir. One can not justify ungodly advise just because the result was a good one. You are taking james word for it that this is a true statement. This is not first hand information to you and can’t be proven. It is close to gossip, just in a positive form. It is like me saying that james told my wife that if she posted anything on here about the situation he would post her name and stop paying any support he has been giving


I will say it again. I am not acting out of rage or hatred or malice. I just don’t want anyone else to be hurt by false words poor teaching. I hope james repents of the doctrines he has adopted and walks in a greater truth that is not self exalting or destructive. I have followed the biblical pattern for confronting a brother and as a result we are here. The focus should not be on the adultery, or the baby, or the ministry. It should be on the renewal or the mind and heart of james. If that happens then nothing again must be written about this matter again for no one else will be hurt.

[truth101]

These are some excerpts of an actual “prophetic word” james gave to my wife when she began to question him and pull away a little. I will not bore you with the whole thing but if anyone would like a copy I will email it to you. Could you imagine God actually doing this? See if you find any hint of Christ in any of this. It is all written as if God Himself is speaking.

“The lord said to me (james)…’ Say some obscenities like s%t, hell and f@#k to wake her up. I know what I am doing.” (He did spell out the curse words)

“This is the part I want to talk to you about first. “ Praylessness.” You wont walk away if you pray and obey. Let me blow you down so I can raise you up. It will give you dignity.”

…” you will be perfect for each other if you just stay with the one I (‘God”) have chosen for you . Wrap you arms around each other before you get too far apart. “( speaking of himself and my wife)

“ You are sleeping with the wrong man if you go back to your husband…talk to him like a brother now, I removed his candlestick from your life. He needs Me, not a brand new wife. Who can know it?”

“Obey Me ( god)and live, some die because they didn’t. I am not dividing you from james, I (god) want to seat you so perfectly in his (james) heart that you will never falter. Fast and pray as he (james ) does , there is no turning back in him ( james). … The judgment is set for those who do not know My ways, but seek M in their church buildings only.”

“ Get your kids in order without the man of God they so love. He is taking them the narrow road that leads to death”

“ Bless this house ( james “ministry”) with your presence, or fall away without it, nothing will hurt Me more.”

“ will you spell out divorce and read between the lines. The doctrine is correct and the way is sure for those who wash in it.”


“ You are dividing the sheep and the goats with james. Don’t quit or there will be sever judgment for you and the blood of souls on your hands.”

“ Take the child support and remove them. … Everything that can be shaken will be shaken so you better move so you are not ripped apart. My servant ( james) will be patient. Will you ask his forgiveness for moving on without him. He (james) is first to you ( the wife) because his eyes are on Me. Who can know it?”

“…if your husband were the one for you I (God ) could have left you there and blessed the house …

Remember God is suppose to be speaking

“ I (God) love this man, why don’t you? He is already more mature than the rest of the body of Christ. I (God ) will scare my people into obedience when it helps.”

“ The wrecking ball came to divide you from a lustful area. Can you talk to james about your deepest fear of man. The first day was the worst day, that’s because I ( God) enjoyed seeing you figure it out. I’m not hear to be civil, I am here to divorce, says “The Captain of the Host”.

[truth101]

Just for an update.
It seems james has moved to my home town of Lakeland FL. and has set up “camp” here. From what I gather he’s been here a couple week getting places and setting up his little homeless group of guys. So now he’s going around town to different churches to make contacts and telling them about his “mistake”and his willingness to do better.

Great. Now I get to see him on a regular basis, how wonderful. Hes been here all this time, 2 weeks or so, and has yet to make time to see his kid. How sad that “ministry” is more important then his child. He’s even setting up a time to meet with my pastor, a man he said was leading me and my wife down a wrong path and “could not lead us into all truth”. Ya know if james would have did what my pastor said 8 months ago, most of these postings would have never been posted.

[James Crawford]

Over a decade ago I decided that I would whole-heartedly live for God. I began spending every night on my knees and diligently seeking the Lord through Bible reading, prayer and fasting. How could someone fall to the temptation of adultery, I once thought. Until it happened to me.

I regret ever having made the decision to commit adultery and I have repeatedly, humbly and gently asked forgiveness from the husband, wife and others many times. I was receiving counsel and had decided to stop the adultery before anyone found out. I tried to stop it before it happened as well. The adultery ended at the end of 2007, over 15 months ago. I have never committed adultery as a Christian before and I am so sorry for people that we hurt when we decided to sin. We were both warned prophetically and by other people and we failed to heed. Thankfully Jesus has never used anyone to bite or accuse me but has only sent true men and women of God to speak encouraging words and blessings over me and my ministry more than ever because He is a really good God.

Her ex-husband has now decided to be bitter and to bite, accuse, cast doubt and lie on me and to publicly accuse her but will you consider this. Let’s say we continue to allow him to bring this demonic accusation against me, his ex-wife and my ministry. We only allow him to stay stuck in his self-pity and deception and to possibly hinder the work of God and those in his life including his children and mine. A lie is a lie even if it comes from the wounded heart of a husband that I hurt but the Lord is the Truth and unfortunately the man has forced me to take the next step. Some may say I am too harsh but this is the method Jesus said to use.

I repented for my sin of adultery and now the orderly thing for me to do is openly expose his lies and unrighteous judgment. I went to his pastor after I went to him and his slander and accusation has only continued. The authority figures in my life agree that biblically speaking this is the right thing to do. This is the only way I can take it to the church as Jesus said was the final step of discipline for an unrepentant person.
Let me first make clear that I did commit adultery and then stop on my own before it was exposed, confess and ask forgiveness. I have the proof of many emails.

Also let me make it clear that I am guiltless of adultery now. Anyone that judges me will be judged by the same measure they judge and as Paul said I count it a small thing to be judged by anyone, including myself for only God can rightly judge my heart. (1 Cor. 4) To my forerunner friends across the nation know this. I have made errors as a man of God but I will continue growing in the grace of God. I am not who these people say I am as many of you know. To those who do not know you will. I have made some needed adjustments unto repentance and continued to establish myself with closer accountability to people who know God and who have discernment.

I will now defend myself as Paul the apostle did and those who have discernment can read between the lines. Those who would rather take shots from a distance without mentioning your name beware, you may fall to the same temptation we did. Jesus said you reap what you sow!!!
Did not Jesus say go in private to the one who offended you. None of these people followed God’s order. Even if I did what David did; killed a man and manipulated to steal his wife, God is my judge and that would never be the measuring standard God would use to say that I am a destructive force to the body of Christ as the husband said. I sinned that sin, yes it is true but now Lord is actually declaring “NOT GUILTY.”

Actually, the husband is the "destructive force to the body of Christ." He is the one attempting to tear down God’s body. I am continuing to build it every single day for the last decade and I can never stop. I am still learning and growing and this has been a season of pruning for me but God is not calling me a destructive force to his church. The true prophets have been telling me this is the greatest season of success my ministry has ever seen and it is true. Many of them have seen prophetically through these accusatory lies that have been spoken about me.
I have heard from people around this area that this ex-husband has been exposing his ex-wife’s sin to every person who would hear about it. Is he exposing her for “the good of the body” as he claims he is about me. He is wounded and bitter and he is the only destructive force to the body of Christ at the present. I am doing what I have been doing for 5 years, uniting pastors and intercessors to fast, pray and repent and he is trying to make me and his ex-wife look like wicked adulterers while the Lord says “Where are your accusers?”
We are living in a time of crisis in this nation and people must come together to pray and fast. I have been prophesying about this economic meltdown to this nation for years and now the rest of the message is unite, watch, fast, pray and repent. With so much at stake, all my accountability partners are saying it is time to expose these lies. I have made mistakes over the years and I have repented and asked forgiveness in every single case that I can think of. If anyone thinks differently I apologize to you and you can contact me and I will reason with you or your pastor about any issue. That is the scriptural method and if you choose another method you are the one sinning not me. If you want to conspire, gossip and backbite you will and even are being judged because God does what he says He will do. Even still I do not want anyone to be hurt but I will not sit back and do nothing when Jesus said to take these steps as you confront those who sin against us especially when it involves so many people.

To the many ministers I currently work with: If you work close to me you may receive letters from him like others have that tell of other people who have contacted him about past sins of mine. They have not come to me as the scripture declares and he is vague about it and tries to use it to intimidate me and other pastors as Pastor Ranker told me. I have made more mistakes than I would have wanted to but I have repented and made amends in every single case to the best of my ability. None of these people have come to me if I have offended them. That is what Jesus said to do. If they come to me I will bring them to my overseers if they feel the need.

At the current I am working closer than ever with brethren who know of this past sin of mine as I am also uniting many in the United States to watch, fast, pray, unite, repent and expose the abominations of our communities. I have been mandated to serve, gather and inform leaders in this nation of the prophetic word of the Lord and I have not been mandated to stop. In fact the urgency for me to continue in the Lord’s heart is greater than ever. Can there be any doubt, just look at the world!

He has openly lied about me not wanting anything to do with my precious new daughter. She is the love of my life. I moved my entire life to her because I refuse to allow my baby to grow up without a father in this fatherless generation. This was not hard for me it was a pleasure because my tender heart for her. Then he writes and grumbles about me moving here. So he will accuse me if I do what is right or if I do what is wrong just because he has decided to accuse. This is the sign of the works of Satan, the accuser of the brethren. I will raise her and watch her grow into the destiny God has chosen for her and she will know her daddy loves her every single day of her life. I am strategically organizing my life here with her and he said “he wants nothing to do with his daughter.” These are the subtle lies he has released on these blogs.

The Bible says life and death are in the power of the tongue and this is the truth, not his lie. Every-time he speaks these accusatory, slanderous, half-lies, words of defamation on these blogs I will post the truth and speak the life and break the power of his accusation so that it does not effect mybaby girl.

Here is a testimony from an established prophetic minister around Lakeland Florida. (She wanted to publish her name but I did not want her church to be slandered. She is one of the prophetic intercessors that attends our apostolic roundtables in this region.)
She writes about the public defamation the husband did to the wife like he did to me:
Pastor James, I have heard first hand the devastating words this man has spoken of his ex-wife. He has accused her to everyone I know and everyone acts like it is ok. I know of this lady and she loves God. She did not deserve to be publicly uncovered by her husband about this situation. God is love and love covers he did what the devil wanted. He has told everyone he could find and now her children and all our area will know her past. He says he wants to protect the body from you but obviously he is unforgiving and God is judging him even now because He gives unforgiving people over to the tormentors. He is only trying to destroy you and her. Surely no one who knows God will stand with such a devilish false reproach.

Has he taken responsibility for his part in the adultery? Did he stand watch over his castle and refuse to let adultery enter by leading his tribe out of tolerance of this world? It sounds to me like he had much to do with it as you both did. It is unthinkable but who needs the rod of God now but the one who sides and speaks for Satan, the accuser of the brethren? If we want to join Satan’s attack we could blame each other until Jesus returns.
To others: if you cannot tell James Crawford is a true, pure man of God you need a new teller! He has cleaned up his past as I hope everyone reading this message is now doing. I am in a season of repentance myself for things I have long ago swept under the rug and for people I have sinned against especially other pastors I criticized and people I wrongly accused.

Guess what? James Crawford is the prophet responsible for leading me to repentance. Every one reading this blog has a past history of sin, dare you put your hands on this move of God? If you have been sinned against go to that person in private as Jesus said. We must stand together and keep the devil off each other’s back because we need each other like never before in this evil hour. This is a season of purging for the entire body of Christ and we cannot judge others. God is doing a great job at it and we will be exposed by Him if we assume the responsibility of it regardless of the mask we wear to defend our right to do it. If we expose another person's sins we will probably have our sins publicly exposed by the Lord because we reap what we sow.

I am praying for all involved especially the children but this man should try repenting to the body of Christ and you guys now. He is held more guilty now because he has openly lied and accused rather than privately put away another’s sins.
What is his excuse for publicly tearing his children’s mother down? Is she a destructive force to the body too? Mercy no, we are all only human, there is only one judge and I think all involved love Jesus including this wounded husband but he is very wrong and I speak healing to him, the wife and to all and a sunny welcome to Florida for you man of God.
We have many demons to pull down Pastor James, do not be distracted by this, you have openly confessed to your new state’s leaders and we want you to be encouraged and strengthened as we “unite to fight!” That is the heart of Father God AMEN!!!

This is the true tragic story of my adulterous affair.

The Trap
In late 2007, in the middle of a move of God’s Spirit that I was stewarding in Keithville Louisiana, I got a call from a professional actress who was coming into Louisiana to work. She had seen our website and wanted to check out our ministry. I sensed she was really hungry for God so I invited her to a Friday night service and later that night to the streets to minister to the homeless prophetically. She did not have a wedding ring on and she had not mentioned her husband in the conversations we had had so I was wondering if she was married. She was very beautiful and I could see how she loved the Lord so I would have been interested in her if she was not married. Towards the end of the evening she finally mentioned her husband so in my mind “that was that.” She later mentioned that she doesn’t wear her ring in the acting business because it is a ‘singles’ business and it can cause her to lose favor with the producers, directors, agents etc. The first night we met she spoke very highly of her husband.

The next night she called me and invited me to her friend’s house where she had been fasting and praying all day. This was where she was sleeping while in town. I was actually VERY concerned and thrown off by this. It was around 10 or 11 pm. I have no reason to believe she was thinking sinfully and I always try to give people the benefit of the doubt because that is God’s way. I turned the offer down many times as she continued to insist. I am not able to judge and say that her motives were lustful but I must tell these truths the way they happened. I was totally unwilling to put myself in the position to sin as I recognized this as a demonic temptation because of the activity of the Spirit at our meetings. I believe she was pure but that the enemy was methodically laying this groundwork.

Prior to this time I had been hearing prophetic words of knowledge that said “Booby trap.” I actually heard this word many, many times for around 2 weeks prior to this time. Unfortunately this story ends in adultery but I will clear the air and shine holy light on the false accusation and schemes of the enemy to slander and hinder revival through this ministry. Some people have accused me of intentionally seducing this lady and I cannot allow the enemy to lie through others in his effort to hinder the many salvations , deliverances, healings, unity leadership fasting vigils and homeless rescues.
The Lord used our ministry to light a fire in her life and she obviously was revived and hungry even more. This is the primary ministry God uses me in. I am called to bring revival to people and cities. She was fasting, praying and prophesying as the Lord used me to stir in her those gifts. She went home and we continued to stay in touch everyday, sometimes several times a day on the phone. We were talking way too much but I still had NO thoughts of taking her from her husband. Satan was subtle and methodical.

Soon after our first meeting she had a dream of her husband driving a car that she and her children were riding in, and his eyes were closed. She said the Lord was showing her that he was asleep at the wheel. She began to tell me how that in 10 years of marriage he had never led her or the children to prayer. Our thinking at that time was “we better wake him up.” He listened to hard rock music like AC/DC around their house and these are territorial strongholds God has had me helping people cleanse from their homes for years. Around this same time her husband confessed his sin of pornography. Anyone that knows me knows that one of my prophetic burdens is that the church in America is asleep. So at this point I felt obligated to help him open his eyes and to help her stay awake even if he is leading the family while spiritually slumbering. At this point there was still absolutely no sexual forwardness or impure motive on my part or hers as far as I could see.

She began to tell me of the countless dreams she had had over the years of her husband cheating on her. He wrote an untrue statement about me later in which he said that I tried to convince her that he had had many affairs. That is not true. I do confess that I vaguely remember thinking that it would be nice if she found out he had and then maybe I could have her. Even so I still never seriously considered trying to take her from him. I only wanted to continue in this new friendship because I had only had a few people ever commit to such a deep, consecrated walk in God. I see now that long before this point, if I would have been wise I would have gotten someone else involved in these issues like I do now. I do not know if those dreams meant that the pornography was his adultery or if he actually had committed the act but I seem to remember telling her to be open to the possibility but not to assume either way. Again, I was not trying to take her from him but I do see my immaturity and carelessness.

I had never and still have never met her husband and I believe he is a good man but he is wrong in this. By this time we were starting to spend so much time on the phone that my revival fire in Keithville was dying down some. The booby trap was working. I soon encouraged her to stay close to me so that his slumbering state did not quench her hunger. One of my primary mandates is to stir the end-time church to watch and pray so that we are counted worthy to escape the shakings and trouble that is coming. Jesus said this Himself in Luke 21. So obviously if I meet people or discern that they are not staying watchful and living lives of fervent prayer I try to help them by stirring them to watch and pray. This trap had been set and we both slowly allowed ourselves to sink into it.
Some of her friends and mine began to tell us we were fostering an unhealthy relationship. We did not want to hear that and assured them they were wrong. Even still we had not yet spoken to each other romantically. I began to try and lead her and her husband to deep prophetic communion with the Spirit in the mornings. Her husband was awakening and we were all encouraged. For a short season we were all prophesying together and to each other. When he stopped pressing in with us we continued on. She soon came for her 2nd visit to our ministry.

This time she brought her two boys. Still there was no impure motive on my part and no romantic talk at all. She is a prophetic singer like me so we wanted to do some studio style recording while she was visiting. So each day she came over and we played and sang together. We did this for about 4 days/nights on this visit. On the final night of recording my aunt kept the children at her house while we recorded music. I made sure that someone was with us in the room as we sang. This worked until the very end of the night. Somewhere after midnight we were left alone by those who were living with me in my ministry house.
It seemed that she was looking at me differently and sitting in a possible forward position. I was beginning to feel lustful and at that point I knew there was a mutual attraction. I thought the Lord prophetically told me that we should put our arms around each other and that we would need each other in the coming days. When I told her this she said “we better obey the Lord.” I chose not to hug her though she made it obvious she wanted one. I thought it was probably a counterfeit prophetic word and I said no to that temptation. I chose purity and holiness. Many people have accused me and many people have forgiven me but only the few who really know me can know this is my heart. The apostle John said “try the spirits” and I sensed this was a counterfeit prophetic word. I was disturbed and even offended that she was being forward because I thought I had found the perfect prayer and worshipping partner. This does not mean she is the bad guy, this was a self-righteous spirit I was fighting and a lustful spirit that was trying to trap us both. We both ultimately chose to sin so I cannot point the finger at her.

She went back to my aunt’s house soon after. I think on the way back to my aunt’s house was when she called me and told me about her friend that called her that night to tell her of a dream God gave her about us. This was a warning from God to us. From what I remember, her friend told her that in the dream we had a crush on each other. The Holy Spirit was showing this to her friend so that we would stop right then.
Sincerely, I was offended that she was laughing the dream off. I felt like she was telling me about the dream to open up dialogue about our mutual attraction and not to stir ourselves to take heed and separate ourselves. That night while alone with God, He clearly told me to send her home early. The following morning I did as the Lord asked. Before I did, we went for a walk and I noticed my sexual attraction for her growing and I was very concerned. I politely asked her to go home and she did.

She was obviously hurt or offended or both. My aunt and Katina, one of my spiritual children asked me why she left so abruptly and why she did not even say goodbye. I tried to call her all afternoon but she did not answer her phone which was very rare. When she finally called me back that evening from her hotel it was obvious to me that we were emotionally attached to each other. I believe it was that same night that she had a prophetic dream in which she reached out to grab my hand and the Lord said to her “Don’t touch My David.” We had many chances and warnings but we were unwise. The trap was set.

The Deception
After she returned home I was still hesitant to minister with her more but I did not decide to break the connection, I believe for two reasons. One, she was exactly like me in the sense that she loved to fast, pray, prophesy and sing. She was so on-fire and going so deep in communion with the Spirit with me and she is one of the few who were ever willing in all my years of ministry. Our selfishness was now wearing on her marriage. I remember there was at least one time where the Lord was instructing me to tell her to be intimate with her husband when she was sleeping in another room so that she could talk and pray with me. I did tell her this but on the other hand I was spending so much time with her it could never have been enough to fix the beginning of their break-up.

We soon realized there was more than friendship in our relationship as we dropped subtle hints about what we could or could not put up with about each other if we were married. At this point my emotions were strong for her and hers for me. We were both getting deceptive prophetic words along with true words.
So now about 2 months after that first visit to our ministry, the obvious happened. I knew she had fallen for me so I could now agree with this deception of the enemy and tell her that I believe God was going to give her to me. The voice of satan then began to get clearer and clearer until we both began to hear prophetic deception. She thought the Lord told her “Tell him his champion bride is here.” Later on I thought the Lord told me “Tell her if she is with another man other than me she will be in adultery.” Then we began to hear all kinds of wacked out stuff as we forgot the warnings from before, by choice.

The Sin
Soon after the fullness of this deception she came for a 3rd meeting and we met at a hotel.Her reason for coming was for me but she was going to do some auditions while she was down. This was mostly to make a smoke screen so that her husband would not catch on. She was very upset with me and wanted me to leave the hotel early because I was so late getting to the room. I was very, very nervous. The next day or two she began to come to her senses but I was so head-over-heels I thought she was mine by then. I remember her telling me that her husband had found out she was still calling me and that they were going to work things out. I was very hurt and was still emailing her and she still called me.
At this point I was very upset and sincerely thought God was giving her to me and went to pray and got a lot of deceptive prophetic words either from my spirit or the enemy’s. She later told me she didn’t think they were real but I thought we both did for a short while. Around a week before I got these words she gave me a prophetic word that she received on her trip to see me and it really convinced me we were being put together. The word was that she had not yet endured the rigors of a champion and to tell me that my champion bride was here. We thought the Lord was saying that she was champion bride. At least that is what I thought when she relayed that word. There was more to that word but for time and space sake I will omit it.

We still had not yet had sex or even kissed. Her husband called me and asked me to stop talking to his wife. I told him that I would do what God wanted. Obviously I was deluded by then. I felt like David when he manipulated the situation with Uriah and had him killed to take his wife. Even at this time I felt very sorry for this man. I remember weeping earnestly and asking God to stop this madness. It was not until another 2 weeks that He did.She and I met at a public park several times that week.The last night she was down she met me at our usual make-out spot. This night she had been out with worldly actor friends and I could taste alcohol on her breath.Weboth felt trapped and guilty.
She continued to want me and vice-versa. By this time she had not had sex with her husband for a couple months. Now it was full adultery. I received a SEVERE prophetic warning in the form of a vision that I have never shared. I saw these angels preparing a bed for me and these killing instruments that were like razor knives. I knew that I must break from this trap. I called 5 ministers so that I could find strength. I actually had to ask some of them if it is possible God was really giving me this man’s wife. They assured me it was satan’s deception.

This adultery only lasted around 35-45 days but it was horrible. We were meeting in hotel rooms from Florida to California; prophesying, saving souls, singing, speaking prophetically to those regions and committing adultery. God was still speaking to and using us, his son and daughter and even using us mightily in his kingdom. We even organized a small revival meeting together and ministered at it while the next day we had sex in a hotel. We were hooked.
If one of us were the initiator at this point it may have been me. I was running from this sin at the beginning but later I was unwise. There were times she told me she wanted out and I tried to keep her by convincing her it was right. Then there were times I told her I wanted out when she wanted me to come to San Jose with her. I believe I stayed in agreement with the deception longer than she did.

The Repentance
As I stated earlier I was calling other ministers trying to find someone who could spring me from this trap. As with all sin it was wearing on us both and we wanting out, yet addicted to the immorality. Though there were brief moments of sexual carelessness and promiscuity earlier in my walk with God, I HAD NOT committed adultery before. I recently went back to read some of our old emails to one another and it is clear we BOTH wanted out. There were was a time where she was wanting to fly me to San Jose and I did not go because I was warned by the Lord again by a prophetic vision. I had already confessed this sin to Willie, one of my closest friends ever. I was almost totally free and then before I was invited to San Jose, I saw a vision of a snake thrown into a river to it’s death. Then I saw it coming back to life after this invitation so I rejected the offer. It was very painful but I could not live that lie any longer. For the record, we both wanted out of this situation. While she was in San Jose, there were times she rejected my offer to come there and vice-versa. I am no more guilty than her and vice-versa.

I have not seen her since before those San Jose invitations in November of 2007. My repentance was complete. This sin was under the blood. I found a local spirit-filled church to sit down in for a couple months so that I could fully heal and restore my soul. I did not tell anyone there what had happened because I did not know them and was not confident that they would know how to assist the process of my healing. Looking back, they probably would have done just fine but I did not want to risk losing ground on the credibility I had with other ministers and intercessors in the area.

Try the Spirits
The Bible issues Christians a mandate that is often overlooked or minimized. It is clear the Lord’s heart in this matter. Paul said “Earnestly desire spiritual gifts, but rather that you prophesy.” 1 Cor. 14:1 We are also told by the apostle John to “try the spirits” when we are prophesying or listening to the Lord prophetically. 1 John 4:1 We should not reject this mandate even if we have been deceived by our own lusts or someone else’s. There are some people who are simply false prophets and they know how to manipulate people either through a true prophetic gifting or through evil spirits. Still again, we must not “despise prophecy but prove all things; holding fast that which is good.” 1 Thess. 5:20-21
Some will blame and accuse people who miss God prophetically, and call them a false prophet. Some will blame and accuse people who are genuinely deceived by other spirits at times, calling them totally false. The truth is, all prophetic people hear from several sources and the body of Christ must mature in this understanding. Conversely, there are false prophets who do not love the Lord.

Here are excerpts from Hannah Whitall Smith’s book “The Christian’s Secret of a Happy Life.” (Pages 93-107)

…we must believe that Divine guidance is promised to us, and our faith must confidently look for and expect it. You must learn, from Luke 14:26-33…that in order to be a disciple and follower of the Lord, you may perhaps be called upon to forsake inwardly all that you have, even father or mother, or brother or sister, or husband or wife, or it may be your own life also. Unless the possibility of this is clearly recognized you will be very likely to get into difficulty…
It is essential…to remember that the Bible is a book of principles… Isolated texts may often be made to sanction things to which the principles of Scripture are totally opposed. I believe all fanaticism comes in this way…thus the scriptures are violated under the very plea of obedience to the scriptures. …you must wait in quiet trust until the Lord shows you…if it is His voice speaking.

But we must never forget that (prophetic) impressions can come from other sources as well as from the Holy Spirit. The strong personalities of those around us are the source of a great many of our (prophetic) impressions. And finally, impressions come from those spiritual enemies which seem to lie in wait for every traveler who seeks to enter the higher regions of the spiritual life. These spiritual enemies, whoever or whatever they may be, must necessarily communicate with us by the means of our spiritual faculties; and their voices therefore will be as the voice of God is, an inward (prophetic) impression made upon our spirits.

Consequently, just as the Holy Spirit may tell us by impressions what is the will of God concerning us, so also will these spiritual enemies tell us by impressions what is their will concerning us, disguising themselves, of course, as “angels of light” who have come to lead us closer to God. Many earnest and honest-hearted children of God have been thus deluded into paths of extreme fanaticism, while all the while thinking they were closely following the Lord. God, who sees the sincerity of their hearts, can and does forgive, but the consequences as to this life are often very sad.

It is not enough to have a leading; we must find out the source of that leading before we give ourselves up to follow it. It is not enough either, for the leading to be very remarkable or the coincidences to be very striking, to stamp it as being surely from God. Every peculiarly precious gift is always necessarily linked with some peculiar danger. When the spiritual world is opened to a soul, both the good and the evil there will meet it. But we must not be discouraged by this. Who would not rather take manhood with all it’s risks and dangers than remain forever in the ignorance and innocence of childhood? And who would not rather grow up into the stature of Christ, even if it shall involve new and more subtle forms of temptation? Therefore we must not be deterred from embracing the blessed privilege of Divine guidance by the dread dangers that environ it.

As I mentioned before, my lust gave birth to deception which brought forth adultery and the enemy was telling both of us that God was putting us together. I will admit that I began to manipulate as David did to keep from losing her but my heart was pure in the beginning. I was not lying in wait to deceive or steal another man’s wife. I heard many false prophetic impressions about this adulterous moment, and I heard many true words from the Lord. In any event I am sorry for my actions but now I am free and clear by the blood of Jesus Christ.

[truth101]

I find it interesting that the first half of this "confession" is an attack on me , the husband. Whatever.

There is a lot of truth in this post of his. But let me clear something up. Any ministry that is associated with james is not my next victim. I hoped that james would have someone to be accountable to. The reason I posted these things is because he refused to tell me who he was accountable to. Since I did not have that I followed Matt 18 to the best of my ability. May not have been perfect but it is what I had to go with. The offer was made that if an authority figure was given I would remove the posts as to not embarrass him or the church with this tragic tail, he refused and here we are. I prayed for 6 months before I posted anything about this situation. His refusal for accountability was what provoked these posts and nothing else. So again, any ministry working with james is not my enemy, I’m glad he has a support group to help him, you need not fear me, I’ve got better things to do.

On that note: My wife and I are not divorced yet, we are living in the same house at this time, and I only told people about the affair who are my close friends, family and councilors. I do not go around telling people how evil my wife is. If they gossip then it is on them. I have told as few people as I could. So who ever this person is james is ministering with must not be a close friend of mine, or else they would have called me to find out what was going on. I still welcome that call.

As to james heart toward his child, he is right, I can not say what he thinks. What I do know is that I brought her home from the hospital, I buy her diapers and wipes, I feed her and rock her to sleep, I bath her, and sing to her. She smiles when she sees me from across the room. She is a beautiful little girl. As far as I know, as long as he has been in the Lakeland area, he has yet to make an attempt to see her. So unless my wife is still lying to me, the only person she knows as “daddy” is me. He is really missing out on a beautiful time in her life.

I could go line by line on this thing he wrote but I have done that already. It was good to finally hear his version, I really haven’t heard it till now. He has tried to apologize in the past, but he also lied to me in the same conversation. There were times during the first 2 months I told him to “back up” and stay out of our marriage so I could repair the damage, he refused to . In stead he helped her set up secret email accounts so I could not track their conversations.

As far as affairs, james may have only had this one affair. But I have since met people from this blog that james has had ‘ fornication with. The only difference is the fact one is married and one is not.

Anyway, I hope this is not evil sounding. I hope I don’t sound bitter, or the “voice of the evil one” is not being spoken through me. I have to work a full time job, and support my broken family, and this beautiful little girl that has been added to my family. I do pray, and study the Word of God. I have 5 men I council with weekly still about the situations that have resulted from the actions of another. He’s right, james has never met me. He doesn’t know how I lead my family, or how I develop Godly character in my sons. I take responsibility for my part, what ever that is. Maybe I didn’t pray enough? Maybe I did some things wrong. Maybe james was right when he told me “ this is god’s judgment on you for not leading your family in prayer properly”, That may be true. This coming from a man that said he’s motive were pure, from the beginning. I just didn’t know he was mandated to deliver the “judgment of God”. My councilors seem to think I did all I could before james, during james, and after james to make my marriage work. I’m willing to sit down with them and who ever to discuss it. I’m open.

[James Crawford]

An Open Rebuke to Peter Cafarelli from Leaders in the Body of Christ

In keeping with the biblical order of dealing with people who have sinned against, and continue to sin againsttthe Lord and His church, we, this panel of 6 liscensed and ordained apostolic ministers from Florida, Georgia, Louisiana and Alabama, are in agreement with each other and regret to inform the body of Christ that Peter Cafarelli of Lakeland Florida, who owns and operates Hotwired company is dividing, lying, accusing, gossiping and slandering James Crawford and attempting to divide the body of Christ and a move of God.

We have appointed Pastor John Ranker of Watchmen Nest Association (An apostolic covering of 5-fold ministers and churches) as the contact person for people who have questions or comments about this action. It is a painful situation and so we have refrained from this next step but even hurt people must repent of division and accusation and forgive those who have sinned against them.

We have scrupulously witnessed and searched emails and confessions James sent to the husband and he has not forgiven James and has resorted to continue accusing, lying and intimidation to divide James from the body and to destroy James' credibility and destiny. We are assisting James daily since he has relocated his entire life to Florida to raise his daughter and we are seeing God establish him soundly, and use James mightily and we are helping James unite God's generals in this hour of crisis in our nation as we unite to pray and fast and Peter Cafarelli is agreeing with the devil's voice, sent to sow discord. James has done everything in his power to do his part in reference to this tragedy but Mr. Cafarelli has continued to accuse and lie.

James is a man under authority and this was made clear months ago but Peter has only continued to attempt to divide the body of Christ. It is obvious that he is not broken unto unity and he may never be as other people who expose and accuse people but the Lord says two of the things He hates is a lying tongue and a person that divides brethren. Peter Caferelli is currently doing both.

We encourage people to encourage Peter to repent now and do what is right and we do not believe Peter is mostly evil. God chastens those He loves and He chastens ALL He loves. That is why we cannot judge each other. Peter has made himself as God by judging and has only continued to spread division in God's body. James sinned as we all have and must be vindicated as a forgiven man of God that is free and successful.

We want to reiterate that Peter Cafarelli is lying about James. Peter has had over 1 year to forgive him and it is obvious that he will not stop his sins of division and lying so this is our next step. Noone has the right to lie, gossip or accuse another one of God's creation. We have read and reviewed the latest slander from Peter and we agree with James' response below as we have reviewed it.

Peter, you have sinned against the Lord, and while you know how precious you are to Him, your duty as a Christian, father and human is to repent and be righteous.

We pray healing and restoration to the family and continued success, boldness and strength to Minister James Crawford.

When you are ready to repent for your sins Peter we all agree that we should all remove these postings so that the public and people’s children do not have to read them years from now. The choice is yours.

The Truth and Peter's Lies

What else can I say? This man may very likely post lies and accusation until Jesus returns. Anyway, here is the truth about the last accusatory, lying atack on me. My response is in red after the first one by John.


Peter Wrote


There is a lot of truth in this post of his. But let me clear something up. Any ministry that is associated with james is not my next victim.

Pastor Ranker says: You are attacking me as a Christian when you attack my brother this way. You are indeed victimizing me, Lakeland churches and the rest of the body because you are accusing, lying and sowing division in the body. You are even victimizing your children because they are in the body of Christ and when anyone in the body is attacked or hurting we are all attacked and hurting. That is the Bible. That is what I pray you get a vision for.

God is using James, myself and many others in Florida to unite the body and to encourage each other and you are trying to tear down this movement and the demonic stronghold of division is resident in you, our state , churches and even your house where your own young children live; and this is because we accuse the brethren as Satan tempts us to do.

I hoped that james would have someone to be accountable to. The reason I posted these things is because he refused to tell me who he was accountable to.

1) I was hardly going to tell you names of people I am birthing prayer and fasting movements with. Looking back it was best because you would have done the same to me as you did your wife. The people that told us how you spread the gossip and accusation on her was hardly the way you say it happened which is one of the many reasons this panel of ministers know you are lying.

2) The Bible says: If your brother does not repent, then take another person with you, and then go to the church. It does not say if they do not present proof of accountability by your standard. You did not even bring another person. I went to your pastor myself. I repented of and stopped sinning against you before you knew it.

Since I did not have that I followed Matt 18 to the best of my ability. May not have been perfect but it is what I had to go with.

That's just it. The Bible was what "you had to go with". You chose to spread lies and accusation just like the accusation and exposure of your wife's sin all over town.

The offer was made that if an authority figure was given I would remove the posts as to not embarrass him or the church with this tragic tail, he refused and here we are.

This may be another one of your lies but maybe not. I remember nothing at all of an offer like this but I will not lie and say it isnt true. But I would never have done it anyway. You are continuing to post accusatory, division, lies, gossip and slander even months after John Ranker and all of us posted the names of my authorites and accountability so here is another one of your lies.

You are continuing to post negative remarks on here, 6 months after your first one so what is your excuse now. Of course you will have another excuse that is a lie and deceptive because that is what this is all about. The only thing is now, the body of Christ can see more clearly what is true because you are unrepentant for your deceit, accusation and division.

As to james heart toward his child, he is right, I can not say what he thinks. What I do know is that I brought her home from the hospital, I buy her diapers and wipes, I feed her and rock her to sleep, I bath her, and sing to her.

More deceit, accusation and division. The truth is. I buy her diapers and wipes with the $250 I send every month. I have not missed one month. It is $50 higher than the lawyer I counseled with, and baby calculator I found said was normal. Of course, this is another lying innuendo. If you have bought her diapers above that thank God for you but it is not because I do not support my baby, it is because the money was needed another area and times are tough financially for your wife. So again, you want to DECEIVE and DIVIDE by making it look like I do not support my daughter. That is why these leaders are exposing your lies and innuendos as you seek to divide God's church.

As far as you nurturing her I am soooo thankful for that. You and I both know she has needed you and I pray you both will always love each other. Thank you for blessing her with your nurturing touch. You are a great father, I believe, but you are trying to decieve people and you cannot do that. I moved my entire life here and all my counsel is helping and telling me to go very slow as I settle in and not to barge in on the baby and family. But do not worry, I moved here to stay, I will raise my sweet baby for the rest of her life.

She smiles when she sees me from across the room. She is a beautiful little girl. As far as I know, as long as he has been in the Lakeland area, he has yet to make an attempt to see her. So unless my wife is still lying to me, the only person she knows as “daddy” is me. He is really missing out on a beautiful time in her life.

Awesome. I am glad she adores you. You are her brother's father and I pray it will continue the rest of her life. I am secure in that I am her father who is adequate. I have not yet seen her because I have been here a short time and I am moving all my life here. I moved here to see her everyday for the rest of her life. Many adjustments are being made in everyone’s lives and I am not in a hurry. Of course anyone can see that my heart is pure for this except for people like you that want to divide, deceive and cast a negative light on another person. This another lying innuendo. When you say, "He is missing out on a beautiful time in her life", Satan really means “James is not a person who is good enough or can be trusted because he has not moved on my timetable; regardless of whether he moved his life here as an obedient response to the Lord.” Satan will always have another message to post but now discerning people hear truth.

You really mean to cast more lying doubt on me as if to really say, like you did in your other post when you said and I quote, "…he has no interest in the baby.” This is another assumptuous lie meant to tear down my credibility when in actuality I moved over 1,000 miles to enjoy her and raise her. There are too many other of your lying innuendos to refute and I do not have time to write much more but your lies, accusation, division and scoffing is now exposed and that is all we needed to do.

You say unless your wife is still lying to you…wow…it appears to me and others I spoke with that we all lied but she and I are the only ones that have accepted the truth, repented, stopped and asked forgiveness of those we sinned against. You are the one lying and deceiving Peter. We lied but we have stopped when will you?

He has tried to apologize in the past, but he also lied to me in the same conversation. There were times during the first 2 months I told him to “back up” and stay out of our marriage so I could repair the damage, he refused to . In stead he helped her set up secret email accounts so I could not track their conversations.

I asked your forgiveness for my manipulation and adultery and it was put under the blood of Jesus 15 months ago. Your lies, division, gossip and accusation are still sinned you are unrepentant of and that is why the body of Christ had to hear the truth and not your lying innuenedos.

As far as affairs, james may have only had this one affair. But I have since met people from this blog that james has had ‘ fornication with. The only difference is the fact one is married and one is not.

Again…you want people to think I apologized and lied on top of it. That happened when we were still being adulterous. Yes I lied then. And only then because I wanted to protect her. Even still it was wrong. But I have the proof of MANY emails where I apologized and asked your forgiveness, not counting the phone calls. Of course you will have another reason why it was not good enough…another lying innuendo. So, your past sins of sexual perversion, masturbation, lust, pornography and all your other ones, that brought in evil spirits of perversion and possibly adultery into your household should be publicized if someone hurts or gets mad at you. When you confessed and repented of that sexual perversion, before I sinned against you, I never accused you but only encouraged you. You or no one came to me in private if there was something left undone about my past.

You like discussing issues like this publicly but I prefer privately the way Jesus said. Most theologians agree that Jesus was writing, or exposing the sins of the accusers in the sand when the lady was caught in adultery and they brought her to Jesus with stones in their hand. He was exposing the sins of the ones who exposed her sins.

ALL our sins are under the blood. You try to make it look like I am a fornicating adulterous predator. I have been sexually active with two women in the last 3 ½ years and that was my ex-wife and my stupid momentary adultery. Yes, there were a few brief moments of promiscuity YEARS AGO, but again I am cleansed by the blood of Christ. They were brief and over 3 1/2 years ago. But, of course Satan will give you more words to say as he tries to deceive and make me look like a habitual fornicator/adulterer.

AGAIN…3 ½ YEARS !!!

Anyway, I hope this is not evil sounding. I hope I don’t sound bitter, or the “voice of the evil one” is not being spoken through me.

The evil is your lying innuendos and accusation as you try to divide. I have wrestled to forgive you but again I choose to, and once again I ask your forgiveness for the sin I sinned against you. But know this friend of God; you are wrong for accusing, lying, gossiping and you must come clean if you want to be forgiven because Jesus said…”Forgive that you may be forgiven…”
