Culture war within the church and the Roys Report appears to be ground zero for it



Culture war within the church
and the Roys Report appears to be ground zero for it 

Looks that way to me as I have been going through all the resources I've gathered for months on the spiritual attacks taking many ministers and ministries hostage to the MeToo sexual and spiritual abuse campaign. 

Why are we in the faith so gullible? Why are so many just accepting accusations reported by an online magazine specializing in exposés of high profile church leaders? Does that really sound kosher to you? To me it sounds more like old school heresy hunters with a new twist. Sounds like an agenda to me. 

Do we just assume the accusations being made are all above board just because a Christian journalist says it is? Do Christian journalists get university trained in the same places the rest of advocacy journalists do? 

Can you not see how this is a major spiritual attack against the American body of Christ? This is the culture war agenda come to roost in the Church and it is being far more successful than it was in the political realm!

Right now on the Roys Report Investigations page all these are listed as investigations:  

Daystar TV | Robert Morrison / Gateway | John MacArthur / Master's Seminary | Ravi Zacharias | Mark Driscoll | IHOP-KC / Mike Bickle | Hillsong | ARC / Church of the Highlands | James MacDonald / Harvest Bible Chapel | Andy Wood / Echo Church | Liberty University / Jerry Falwell | Matt Chandler / Acts 29 |Willow Creek Community Church | Vineyard | Bryan Loritts | Albert Tate / Fellowship Monrovia | Judah Smith and Churchome | Jon Courson & Applegate | Cedarville | Calvary Chapel | Moody Bible Institute | Wheaton College | Voice of the Martyrs | Bethlehem Baptist Church, College & Seminary | Chi Alpha / Daniel Savala | Classic Conversations | Calvary Church Naperville | ECFA | Christianity Today | Evangelical Industrial Complex | Josh Howerton / Lakepointe Church | Cross Timbers Church | Morningstar / Chris Reed | Steve Lawson / Trinity Bible Church of Dallas | Mica Miller / John-Paul Miller | Dr. Michael Brown 

Should one journalist be in charge of raking all those ministers over the coals?  I don't think so, but the rest of you seem to be pretty passive about it in my opinion. 

IHOP & Beyond | In the past few days I listened to one the Bickle/IHOP accusers who appeared in the Firefly report as accuser #14. I cannot call it an investigation because it is just one man's interviews with accusers. 

Gracia, who is accuser #14 was not happy with how little print she got from Firefly, so she did a podcast with a Bodies Under the Bus, freshly angered by the news that a woman she referred to in her Firefly accusation had given prior sworn testimony of events in a affidavit to an investigator. Her earlier accounting of the events surrounding Gracia's rape claim drastically contradicted Gracia's story.

In the podcast last week, Gracia doubled down on the story she told in a podcast October 30th, 2023. Her latest version seems to have magnified. In one she is asked if Mike were in any of the meetings with her and she says no. Last week she says Mike was in the meetings. She names names of staff at IHOP vilifying them. She has gone from saying one lady treated her like family to now viewing her and everyone else as if they were actively protecting abusers so people like her could continue to be abused. She even makes that claim in so many words. Oddly enough she never ever mentions the name of the person she claims raped her.

There is no kindness ever shown to her by IHOP people that she does not now see evil in. I believe, Gracia's view has been clouded with the ideology and jargon of weaponized sexual abuse ideology. In the  years after she left IHOP, Gracia sent a handwritten letter to the woman she first reported her "rape" to and thanked for her kindness. Now describes the same woman like some horrible female guard in a Nazi concentration camp! 

In her X profile description Gracia writes she is only here for "the tea and the dismantling of patriarchy." I am sorry Gracia's heart has become so hardened. 

If you want to know how Jezebel attacks the body of the LORD in the times we inhabit - this is it: 

An online magazine that "grooms" accusers, giving counsel on how to  connect with the cottage industry of specialized clergy sexual and spiritual abuse experts, and from there the publication's backing for an organized, multi-pronged attack of Christian ministers and ministries begins.

There are multiple podcasters who zero in on a single accused ministry. They take their chosen ministry to task with a heavy doses of seeing evil in every little thing the minister or ministry says or does. 

The Roys Report provides them cover as the "real journalist" in their midst. Real journalists are university trained to advocate an agenda, or haven't you noticed?

Wake up Church. Christian women taking up the secular tactics of the handlers of accusers like Christine Blasey Ford should at least enter your mind!

It would be interesting to see how Christian media would react to Potiphar’s wife’s claims of Joseph raping her.

False accusations appear against pretty much every prophet and leader in Scripture and church history. Even today we have missionaries in foreign countries being falsely accused of weapons smuggling, insurrection, rape and sex trafficking. This is a crash course for the Body of Christ in leaning into Him for discernment.

I would like to know more about the accusations you speak of "being falsely accused of weapons smuggling, insurrection, rape and sex trafficking."

I do not believe God's servants don't commit crimes, but I don't believe in dependence on the accusations of groups of people who are all given to the same cause. In this case, the cause accusers are given to is MeToo ideology and it has already been proven in the political realm that false accusations are 100% rationalize and justified by the group. Yes discernment is required and some are so far removed to the culture wars, they can't even recognize it when it breaks out in the body of the Lord.

Another good resource would be studies on persecution in the early church. Many times Christians were falsely accused and convicted of cannibalism, insurrection, being incestuous cultists and thieves. False accusations have been one of the most consistent ways Satan has attacked the church.

No problem at all. I also had dreams about what was coming starting about two years before the allegations broke. I don’t have many prophetic dreams so they stood out to me and once everything started happening they really helped me understand what was going on. Others have also had dreams and prophetic words, some of which have been posted on YouTube.

One was from a lady named Deana Barnes who seems to be a genuine, kind lady who didn’t even know Mike Bickle.

I believe the enemy is raging because of the Israel Fast that took place a couple years ago and is trying to destroy the man and ministry that God used to spearhead that. I’m sure there was sin and I’m sure that sin was mournfully repented of. Im also sure the current stories being spread are highly exaggerated lies which the Lord will reveal. He is good and He is faithful.

May we use this season to judge ourselves, humble ourselves in repentance to the Lord and to learn to love those who hate us
