SHOCK: 42-year-old Rev Zachery Tims was found dead in his hotel room last Friday
THE SUDDEN death of a well-known US pastor has left members of the Christian faith community in shock.
Pastor Zachary Tims was found dead in a hotel room in New York last Friday.
The church leader represented a congregation of 8,000 and was the overseer of a Florida megachurch.
Rev Tims, of New Destiny Christian Center (NDCC), often appeared on TBN’s Praise the Lord programme was discovered by security who alerted police.
Police have ruled out foul play at this point. The cause of death is yet to be established, officials said.
It is still unclear if Rev Tims, 42, had been alone in the hotel room.
The church leader and his family founded New Destiny Christian Center (NDCC) in 1996 where he served as senior pastor.
A message was posted on NDCC’s website on Sunday informing congregants that a meeting would be held to discuss Pastor Tims death.

Comments"Judge not and you shall not
"Judge not and you shall not be judged (for our sins)...Only God knows one's heart"
Only a foolish so called Christain who is not filled with teh Holy Ghost (spirit of God) would make teh above statement. If you as a christain cannot dicern teh heart of men or judge then you will walk blindly to hell. why did Jeus warn his diciples to be careful they are not deceived or 1st John chapt 4 advise that a true Chrsitain must try every spirit. How can one do this without being able to judge between darkness and light or clean and unclean. I suggest teh above person who wrote teh above quote read teh following scriptures taken from the KJV
John Chapter 7 vs 24 “Judge not according to the appearance but judge righteous judgement”
Ist Corinthians 6 vs 3 “Know ye not ye shall judge Angels how much more things that pertain to this life”
Ist Corinthians 2 vs 16 “but we have the mind of Christ”
I true Christain who is born again is filled with the spirit of God and has the mind of Christ
Romans chpt 9 "if any man have not the sprit of Christ he is none of his"
read also verse 11
The Apostle Paul a man full of the Holy Ghost knew when he was going to die he spoke of the time of his departure. I percieve Pastor Tims this to be an untimely death and as a trinitarian he cannot possibly make it to heaven.
ONE LOARD ONE FAITH ONE BAPTISIM AND THAT IS IN JESUS CHRIST.Not father, son and Holy Ghost for these are titles and not a Name
Pastor Z. Timms
We had better be guick to hear and slow to speak. If you can't say anything good about the preacher don't say anything, because God will hold you reaponsible. Be wise and pray for compassion, because you will need it one day and if you don't show compassion now you won't receive any. The man of God is in God's hand thank God, not in man. Pastor was blessed to reach alot of peaple for God than alot of his haters ever will. Timms family & God's family look to God and turn a deaf ear to all of the haters because they are just foolish and unwise not understanding that we all need to just pray one for the other lest we fall while some are trying to judge and dont`t even know what their talking about. Your Texas Sister in Christ praying for you.
Sympathy : The Timms Family
May God surround this family at such a time as this. It is their time today, tomorrow will be ours, we dont know when, but we do know it will come at some point and time.
We pray your strength in the Lord. For He promised to always be with us, and just know He is with you right now.
It was is a great lost to the body of Christ
My prayers definitley go out to the late great Pastor Zachery Timms and I just thank God that he was able to bring alot of belivers to Christ and that the spirit of the lord will continue to rest upon the mission of bringing souls to Great "I am" and may the lord continue to bless his ex-wife and children.

Wake up Call
This sin is sickness that is killing christians by the thousands. It's not just preachers. The wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life. I pray that all the men and women of God recognize that God is not kidding. Somebody ought to go back to praying against sexual sin just like we pray against cancer. Look around your own community. It's worse than cancer.
Let God be our final judge!!

Pastor Timms death
I heard yesterday about the passing of Pastor Timms. It was truly a shock. I don't know what to think about what surrounds the cause of death. But, I will say this, we all are human, and we feel that our church leader shouldn't do any wrong. We all are human! I sorry that he passed the way he did, but he's at peace now. Only he knows what the truth is. And it made me stop and think about being quick to find fault in people. We all are human. Pastor Timms could have been dealing with my issues for years. But one thing he was not dealing with was being able to bring the Word of God to a dying world. Let us all look at the fact that we all make mistakes, and only God can judge us.

FORGIVENESS
My prayers goes out to the Tims family .God is the judge of all judges so dont dwell on stuff you dont know. The pastor impacted my life on TBN and I am 45yrs old and he touched me with each sermon. As a church pray and pray without ceasing. GOD has everything in control. The family and the church are in my prayers and Pastor will sadly missed.

He always stated in many
He always stated in many messages, "don't let the devil have nothing in you". He was real and reached many young people because he had experienced most of what young people are going through today. He was on fire for the Lord! I shall miss his messages. My hearfelt sympathy to Reva and children. May our Lord Jesus Christ give
all of you Peace! Pastor Zach Timms R.I.P.

As pastors and as leaders we expect them not to make any mistakes at all but he is only human just like you there is only one that I knew that walked this earth perfect with no mistakes and no falls and that was Jesus Christ once he asked for forgiveness of whatever sins he had committed the bible says if we confess our sins he is faithful and just to forgive us and cleans us of all unrightousness.Right now my word to you is''HE THAT IS WITHOUT SIN CAST THE FIRST STONE'' GOD bless you zachery timms and your family rest in R.I.P.
***Rest In Peace Pastor Zachary Tims***
It is such a shame that some people want to point their finger at the man of God. I'm reminded about David and Saul.. Even when Saul may have deserved Davids sword to pierce him.. David said: Touch Not God's Annointed & Do His Prophet NO HARM!!
I'm also reminded about the scripture-- He (she) who is without SIN, let him (her) cast the First STONE...
So before you cast Judgement on Pastor Tims.. consult God and ask: Is it I Lord!!
We have all SINNED and come short of the Glory of GOD.. so lets walk in HIS Mercy, Wisdom & Love.. X

Sin has it's consequences. We learn from others mistakes.
Zachary Timms
Sin brings it's consequences, it in the Bible.
Have Mercy
Father God please have mercy on us, and help us to forgive one another, as you forgave on the cross. If we all died according to the sins we committed, we All would be dead. I thank you that you look pass our short comings and sin, and see our needs. May God bless you.
PRAY FOR MEN & WOMEN IN LEADERSHIP
I pray the church will wake up and realize that men & women of God are held to a higher level of accountablity. Except we tend to forget even though they are held to that higher level of accountability THEY ARE HUMAN!
They counsel and hang in there with us through all of our mess. yet, we are quick to abandon them in their mess...just sayin!
I am praying for all of you Pastors and leaders in the body...STAY STRONG!
RIP Pastor Timms
A inspiration
Lord I pray for his ex and his children and all the leDers and members and also the lives he touched. He surly touched mine. I live in Philly I would watch him faithful on tbn @ 7:30am and sometimes the holy sport would us him to speak a word into my own situation . What a wonderful warrior for the kingdom. We"ll I defiantly know he is with the Lord. May God Bless you and keep you Pastor Timm
