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.

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.

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.

"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.

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.

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!

GRACE AND PEACE FROM THE KING ,
MANY TIMES WE SEEM TO FORGET THAT WE HAVE A REAL ENEMY OUT THERE WHO IS BENT ON DESTROYING OUR SOULS, FAMILIES AND MINITRY.
I PRAY FOR YOU AND YOUR FAMILY AND THAT THE KING ARISE WITH HEALING IN HIS WINGS.
MANY ARE THE AFFLICTIONS OF MEN BUT THE LORD WILL HEAL US FROM THEM ALL.
YOU ARE STILL MY FAVOURITE WORSHIP LEADER, YOU ARE DESCRIBED BY MANY AT OUR CHURCH IN JAMAICA AS A MAN OUTSIDE FROM THIS WORLD.WHY?
BECAUSE THE PLACE YOU TAKE US IN WORSHIP IS OUT OF THIS WORLD.I TOLD ONE OF MY SPIRITUAL DAUGHTERS THAT I WANT COME WHERE YOU ARE, THAT PLACE WITH THE KING IN INTIMACY AND PASSIONATE WORSHIP.
I KNOW THAT YOU ARE GOING THROUGH A DIFFICULT TIME RIGHT NOW, BUT I THINK THAT SECRET PLACE WHERE YOU ALWAYS MEET WITH HIM, IS STILL RESERVED FOR YOU AND HIM.
BE STRONG AND OF GOOD COUARAGE, THIS GOES TO SHOW THAT YOU ARE HUMAN AFTER ALL AND ALL HUMANS NEED THE LIVING HOLY SPIRIT TO HELP US IN OUR TIMES OF WEAKNESS.
I LOVE YOU, MY CONGREGATION LOVE YOU AND WE ARE PRAYING FOR YOU.
I HOPE YOU WILL COME TO JAMAICA ONE DAY, AND I KNOW THAT PLACE WILL BE FILLED TO OVER FLOWING.
EVEN SO, COME LORD JESUS COME INTO THE SITUATION OF MY DEAR BROTHER

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.

I agree with you LaVerne, God is a just God and will punish sin. He is an adulterer, and adulterers will not enter into the kingdom of heaven. Everyone seems to feel so bad for Terry, but the ones who are hurting are Greta and her children. Terry has selfishly made his own life despite those he hurt. I thought he would have come to his senses by now. We should pray for him, yes. Feel bad for him, no. He made his choice. And, at this stage, why would his wife take him back after he had his fun? I wouldn't.

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.
