A Response to Accusations Against Tim Ballard and An Exortation Concerning Fallen Church Leaders

hello everyone welcome to this podcast and welcome to this video I was reading some books and I felt like from the Lord I needed to come on here and tell this testimony um because the days that we're living in there's a lot of may not be back to back but there's exposure of different ministers and things like that that goes on and I want to tell you a personal testimony that I've had okay and this shows you how subtle the devil can get you to gossip about somebody especially someone you don't know personally all right I'm going to I'm going to open up with with I'm going to open up in prayer first first of all it's just a testimony but I believe in some ways it's it can be um for a scriptural basis for this teaching I I um can't remember the name of it but it's something like taming the tongue or something like that but it's a sermon that Pastor Mickey preached on a while back and I would encourage you to Surf through look through the podcast um and um yeah we we've got that teaching online so father we thank you for this day and I thank you for the word of God and I thank you Lord that this testimony of Jesus is the spirit of Prophecy um one person's mistake can be another person's lesson Lord and and um I thank you for for telling me to to come on here and mention this Lord and and just you lead and guide me help me to speak this in a way that that it Pricks and the conscience and helps Lord in Jesus name amen so you may know about the movie called The Sound of Freedom right by uh and it's a story of a of a former agent named Tim Ballard well online there are accusations of supposedly he had sexually abused some women and things like that and um there was an intriguing title of a video you know how the devil Works about this guy who had been a friend of his and he said but now on my own audiences you know I I speak out something to that effect um and I watched the full video well let me give you a little bit of backstory so a lot of times I pray in the Holy Spirit and what I've been doing based off of uh scripturally uh Zechariah 3 you know in the the passage where Joshua the high priest in Israel uh the the prophet was seen into you know about um you know seen into the the the robes that he was carrying and things like that well um as some of you may know and and I understand that this is this is a bit Taboo in some Christian circles but I follow the courts of Heaven teaching and so far as you know I'm I'm notar I I don't take everything that the teachers say as gospel but I I run it by the holy spirit so what I what I did before I even found out about this video last night was I requested and a since I had pray I just basically prayed for Tim Ballard and and and uh today the Lord led me to pray for his wife things like that it's just kind of a backstory uh this you know just for a new spiritual wardrobe I just felt like the Lord had led me to do that as I was listening to the podcast last night and today but anyway back to the story about this this gossip so I watched this video um and at first I felt the Holy Spirit say do not watch that that's already under the blood you know we had just went to the courts of Heaven the night before and Inter seeded on his behalf he saido not watch that it's under the blood well I didn't listen and I I to make a long story short I sent this video to only two people and I never understood you know Jennifer L clir and them they say you know there's a lot of intercessor groups that are really gossip groups now I understand because later on as I was reading and listening to Shak worship centers worship sets the spirit of God had shown me that although that man was intentional was was uh had good intentions and really wanted to seek the truth you know and things like that I mean that's how we are as humans the Lord showed me that that video in the sense that it partnered with the accuser of the Brethren was demon inspired and that is why it had a bad it it put a bad taste in my mouth even though the spirit of God said to me beforehand do not watch that video so let me tell you this folks if you hear about a spiritual leader that has fallen in church do not I forbid you in the name of Jesus Christ from going online to YouTube and looking up different videos about them that is how you could get wrong opinions about people that is how you could God goip about people I mean you may say Pastor so and so or sister so and so can you can can you send this to your prayer warriors uh and and pray for this person you know pray that they repent well you don't even know if the accusations are true okay and and so I just really you know at first I thought well I I got to pray into it more but I felt the spirit of God saying no I want you to go ahead and get online and and tell this story um and I want to say publicly to um Tim Ballard and those involved or yeah in particular to Tim Ballard I'm praying for you um but again I want to challenge every one online if you are listening to people and they may be well-intentioned they may be whatever but if you're listening to to a lot of these podcasts about what's going on with let's say um Robert Morris or you know uh an older case let's say IHOP or bethl or anyone don't listen to what another person says about the about the the leader I forbid you in the name of Jesus Christ from doing that that is how you can get into gossip but you go to your prayer room you get into the word you listen to what that person has to say Len I'm talking now about church leaders you listen to what that person has to say and um and you you you say holy spirit you know because the Bible says God knows those that are his you say holy spirit help me to discern concerning this person that is is my I'm not going to say I'm inval infallible you know the reason I say I forbid you in the name I mean I'm passionate about this I don't want to see any of us being spawn being pwns of Satan I don't want to see any of us fall short any more than we you know like I I want you to learn from my mistakes um if any of you have any any um let me just say this constructive criticism is allowed but hateful and spiteful comments whether it be about me or better to each other are not allowed and they will be deleted from this from from the the comment section other than that any of you that have any comments about what I've said uh I'd love have a discussion with you and and to see you know you know how cuz iron sharpens iron and so but I wanted to tell you my testimony about how how cunning Satan can be and and uh and I wanted you to learn from my mistakes okay so let me pray father God I thank you for this day and if there's any part of this that has that this this teaching that has been something that's not sanctioned by you I ask that your grace and uh would overshadow that your blood would speak concerning that Lord father I thank you that we iron sharpens iron I thank you for for even presiding over the comment section Lord and just helping us uh as we speak together Holy Spirit you you help us to to um bear one another's burden and help us to be the family the body of Christ that you called us to be father God because I know in this time you're Prosecuting spiritual treason you're helping us to you're dealing with us concerning infighting and and I just thank you for this Lord and um and I pray this in Jesus name amen
