Pastor had children pray with him without any clothes on….and their mother let him do it

Phil Livingston, the pastor of Light of the World Ministries, Wauconda

Although Jesus Christ used to lay hands on people to cure them of disease when He walked this earth, He didn’t intimately touch them, especially young girls, to heal, as Phil Livingston, the pastor of Light of the World Ministries, Wauconda, Illinois does.

The misguided pastor was involved in a court case in which a man claimed that his wife took their two daughters to him to engage in naked prayer therapy sessions with Livingston and his wife, Colleen, who call themselves “The Naked Apostles.” The man won the decision in the First District Appellate Court, Cook County, giving him custody of his two daughters, according to the Chicago Tribune.

The court ruled that “When a parent puts his/her children in a social setting with naked adults, and encourages his, or her, daughter to receive therapy from a man who sometimes, in the course of therapy, digitally penetrates the vaginas of the recipients of his therapy, the evidence sufficiently supports a finding that the parent exposed his/her children to an injurious environment.”

However, the mother of the two young girls claims that her religious freedom rights were violated by the decision of the three-judge panel and she is appealing their ruling.

The court heard how one former member of Livingston’s church, who was present during one of the sessions involving the mother and two daughters, overheard Livingston tell the mother to groom her daughter before he laid hands on her.

Apparently this is not the first time that Livingston has been involved in court cases claiming that he is using religion to satisfy his lustful desires. In 2011 a judge found that Livingston’s claims of healing people from various maladies, including drug addictions and yeast infections, by intimately touching them, were not believable claims.

According to the Livingston’s website, their unusual practice is in preparation for the return of Jesus Christ. It adds that His Church has a Cancer which has penetrated the very root of its foundations and it cannot be healed.

The website statement goes continues that the reason they hold naked prayer sessions is because they want to warn people of the soon arrival of the Lord. It adds that although they are naked, they are clothed with the Spirit of Christ.

Strange as it may seem, although Livingston has held these naked prayer sessions for years and many victims have been abused, he has never been convicted of any offense.

Woe be unto the pastors that destroy and scatter the sheep of my pasture! saith the Lord.

Jeremiah 23:14

I have seen also in the prophets of Jerusalem an horrible thing: they commit adultery, and walk in lies: they strengthen also the hands of evildoers, that none doth return from his wickedness; they are all of them unto me as Sodom, and the inhabitants thereof as Gomorrah.
