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.
Shalom

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!!!!

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.

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.

I know God is never finished with us.. . . even when we die. . . . our lives in Him have just begun.
With love to the Macalmon family.

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.

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.

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.

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.
