Indoctrination of Young People the Root of IHOP Chaos? I believe so.

Indoctrination of Young People the Root of IHOP Chaos?
I believe so.

IHOP could not be playing better worship music in between its only 2-a-day live worship sets. "And what else can I give? I'm desperate for You." Amazing worship, a deep reminder of the value of IHOP to the greater community.

Yesterday I read some of the comments from people about IHOP that were on Michael Brown's Facebook page. He was asking for some of the positive reports people had about IHOP. There were many I could agree with, but many came to silence any good reports. 

One negative comment came from a young woman who had been at IHOP who regarded the telling of the "prophetic history" of IHOP as  manipulation. The prophetic history of IHOP is, of course, its vision: 24/7 prayer & worship and the Israel Mandate - that God means for the Church to pray and prophesy over Israel for Israel's salvation.

That young woman actually wrote that it was the young people who were targeted with the prophetic history: "They literally targeted those with more vulnerability to fantastic tales." Also that "what older people got was a fraction in emphasis and weight of what the young and the involved or staff got."

Also she said, "Without understanding the psychology, the sociology, and those all consuming dynamics you will never come close to beginning to understand the impact one facet of a teaching had on the people who were in it."

I recognize a narrative when I see one. Where is God in all that? Nowhere to be found.

Yesterday the name "Absalom" was dropped in my spirit. I need to go study the verses again, but I remember what Absalom did: he betrayed his father who loved him. He went around behind David's back spreading unrest and badmouthing David, while wooing people that he would be a much nicer leader for them to have than David. 

It makes me both sad and mad that so many young people, who have self-confessed "more vulnerability to fantastic tales" have believed the narrative that has been spoken to them how Mike Bickle was leading "a cult". That's why the noncharismatic/prophetic always say about the charismatic/prophetic.

Why are so many Christians NOT alarmed by these things going on among the young people tearing a ministry down to the ground?

Why would so many Christians just accept accusations against a minister and not be concerned that there has not been biblical due process carried out. We Christians even in the current corrupt political environment, have realized that a person is "presumed innocent until proven guilty." Why has that been absolutely thrown overboard in Mike Bickle's case. 

The woman referred to above, and many of the Christians who have tried to silence my questions of what is going on there, said that it is biblical that all that is required to determine guilt is two witnesses. That is one verse but that is not the whole counsel of God on passing judgment. God saw there were different levels of complications in human matters that required more standards of justice. 

Anyone in the United States or Israel, or other nations across the earth today, should be well aware by now that even multiple accusations against a person does not equal guilt. A perfect example of that is seen in the story of Jezebel, patron demonic spirit of Feminists, in her orchestrating two lying witnesses against Naboth so she could STEAL NABOTH's vineyard for the wicked King Ahab. We have seen this play out in the political realms and now we see it play out in Kansas City at IHOP. Stealing Bickle's vineyard that the LORD gave him.

Would you begin to pray over all those who have been caught up in the narrative that is destroying IHOP, for God to blow away the fog of deception that has settled on the Kansas City House of Prayer? 

Break the power of deception, on all those who have embroidered a false narrative, we pray the Spirit of conviction would fall upon them. 

Terrify them to catch a glimpse of how they have aligned themselves with the Accuser of the brethren. 

Break the power of the lies, cause people who know better than to believe all of these grandiose narratives, to rise up and declare freedom to the captives and a release of repentance to sweep across all of them. 

Declare a reckoning with reality of all those who have believed in lies and a release of repentance on all liars. 

In Jesus name, I pray Abba Father You would move now, and not allow the enemy to have the upper hand in this place, this network, this holy work You called to be raised up for such a time as this.

Release an anointing of spiritual courage to rise up and oppose the  overweening flood of lies that have been spilling out of so many, marring those in its path, discouraging faith and revealing so many to be in great envy and jealousy of the work in IHOPKC. 

Do not let them destroy what You called and anointed, O LORD.
