Denominational Doctrinal correctness, ministry activities, hours spent in prayer, fasting, feeding the poor, prophetic utterance and manifesting other Spiritual Gifts cannot “restore” a leader guilty of false prophecy and Clergy Sexual Abuse to a healthy relationship with God.

@therainfreesme This is horrific! I am so sorry this happened to you. It would greatly help other victims if you reached out to @bozlawpa and to local law enforcement to give the details. The more information law enforcement has about victims the more effective their pattern of evidence can

This is an open letter to #MikeBickle after being turned away from Bickle’s door when they came to discuss the allegations of sexual impropriety made against Bickle. In the Early 90s Bickle was also confronted by Vineyard Leader John Wimber and compelled to make public

@malachiobrien @ihopkc You’re right. Those are weak words. Maybe just be quiet until you gain the courage and wisdom to open with “I was wrong. I am sorry.”

@AlyssaDegraff A shepherd’s first reaction isn’t to say how much he loves wolves and then to dedicate more effort to restoring wolves than to restoring victims. Are you paying attention? “Oh yes we all know sheep are bleeding to death all over the pasture, but do you know what makes a pastor

@abele_amy95291 For those of you with deep connections to IHOPKC, I sense this is a deeper Spiritual battle than we can understand. The unclean spirits are fighting to preserve an image, a vision, and a narrative. Always. ALWAYS remember Jesus died to redeem people. And He spared not

@Joannathelee @bozlawpa @EricVolz If someone who calls himself a “Spiritual Father” has a sexual relationship with someone they call a “Spiritual Daughter” that would be called “Spiritual Inc**t” which scripture defines as an abomination.

@HilzFuld First, thank-you for what you are doing and have done. You are making a difference. I have had many bouts with anxiety, and there isn’t a one size fits all solution. Talk with your doctor. Here are some things that have worked for me: 1. I stopped panic praying. Rocking

There are two reasons I felt compelled to get involved in the #IHOPKC discussion. 1. Victims. 2. Staff with a Conscience. I have been both, and I know the mandate of an idolatrous superstructure is to crush both 1 & 2 and to project that either they don’t exist or when they

Re: IHOPKC Staff departures & the benevolent "blessing" by @bennettisaac and @ihopkc leaders for us to pursue other kingdom assignments. Brothers, for once in this horrible process get honest and humbly tell the truth: 1/ Here's the matter, it's still manipulative rubbish. God

@JenniferVerdery I wonder how many qualified, dedicated people of character the leadership of #IHOPKC have defamed and pressed out of ministry BECAUSE they had too much integrity to go along with predatory practices and cover-ups. Many of those folks, I’m sure we’re forced to to abandon ministry

I want to stress two things regarding #mikebickle and @ihopkc 1. Now more than ever Mike Bickle needs friends like Sam Storms. And somebody needs to go Galdalf on Wormtongue Chris Reed. 2. To my knowledge, I do not know any of the Jane Does, but having experienced church
