The Truth About MIKE BICKLE & IHOP

The Truth About Mike Bickle & IHOP by Donna Diorio For the past 24 years of putting out a weekly summary of prayer request from Israeli leaders I have learned a lot. One thing I learned is that it doesn't matter what my friends and Christian leaders I respect think - or for that matter - what most in the whole world think, from the leaders to the common folk when it comes to how God looks upon Israel and upon the body of Messiah in Israel.

They can all believe the manifold lies that so many have been deceived by, but my duty is to God and what He has shown me in His Word related to Israel.

I am cannot help but apply the same standard to Mike Bickle. It does not matter to me if everyone I know has accepted disgusting lies about Bickle, because that is not what God has shown me what unfolded at IHOP, and my allegiance is to God.

Honestly, my total focus has always been on the Israeli body of Yeshua/Jesus. I have paid NO attention to the who's who in either American Christian ministry OR American Messianic Jewish ministry. I believe God told me to keep FOCUS on the Israeli ministries so as not to be drawn in to any other group but them.

I have done that until March of 2023 when Mike Bickle began preparing the IHOP homefront for a 21 day Fast and Prayer for Israel & Christian intercessors who would meet at the end of May.

By April 2023 that was made public as Bickle was calling for the international IHOP network to join in. It was because Mike caught wind that a group of Christian intercessors - each organization representing thousands and thousands worldwide - were going to meet together in Jerusalem to pray for the window of that region. Mike knew MOST of them had NO heart for praying for Israel. They were probably only meeting in Jerusalem to pray for that regional window because it was the ONLY safe place they could meet to make such prayers! What Mike wanted to do was pray for THEM! to have great breakthroughs among with revelation of God's heart and plan for Israel.

Even though I always knew of Mike Bickle's standout support for the Israeli ministries and the plan of God to spiritually restore Israel, I had never been attracted to follow IHOP. All of that changed when I heard of his 2023 plans, and I wrote about it in my Israel prayer letters on April 13th, 2023 encouraging my subscribers to join in.

At that point I had begun to listen to the IHOP prayer room daily all the hours I was at my computer working - around 8 hours a day. It revolutionized me. I cried so much at the power of the anointing on the worship. I would work as long as I could, then have to switch screens and just cry my eyes out at the worship that drew me away. Then I would go back to work.

My spiritual life was being revived day by day, month by month. Coming from a music industry background, I was seeing anointed worship with musical excellence. It was like that through the Sping, Summer and then in the Fall I watched a spiritual attack unfold right there in the IHOP Prayer and Worship room. Now the worshippers were in a swirl of warfare that came across strongly to me watching my the internet.

The news was spreading fast and the accusations were horrendous. I kept watching and started tracking what Mike Bickle was being accused of. The madness in the worship room was growing, with people dropping like flies. Social media was ablaze.

The attack was not only against Mike Bickle, it was pressuring the worship singers and musicians to leave IHOP claiming it was a cursed altar. It wasn't, but a majority did leave and big deals were made of them leaving during final sets intended to make it clear to the internet onlookers that they all believed the lies. The warfare was thick - and that is exactly what I picked up watching it.

My sense from the beginning was that it was a spiritual attack because of what Mike Bickle had done in May, raising up 5 million intercessors for Israel. I kept gathering information and I have not stopped gathering information. There have been so many dirty dealings involving so many in this spiritual attack on Mike Bickle International House of Prayer.

I wrote in the beginning that the situation was like 1 Kings 21 when Jezebel orchestrated the accusation and execution of Naboth in order to steal his inheritance, a vineyard. Naboth's name means fruits and he lived in Jezreel, which means "God sows."

Jezebel orchestrated the entire take down of Naboth, remaining entirely obscured behind the scenes. (Just like Jane Doe did) Jezebel organized false accusers of Naboth, who swore to the city council who also had their marching orders from Jezebel to execute Naboth so she could steal his inheritance, the vineyard. (Just like Jane Doe did)

I did not know ANYONE at IHOP, but in my fact finding I realized the original Jane Doe accuser was the Jezebel spirit behind this plot to take down Mike Bickle. I kept gathering facts. I spoke privately to anyone at IHOP who would talk with me about what was going on from their perspective.

I came into great conflict with those very people in Jerusalem who I advocate for. I advocated to them for Mike and what I was seeing and learning about it all. They did not take to heart what I was trying to tell them about the plot. Instead they trusted others closer to them, and those in the community that facilitates weaponized sexual accusation - including the so-called investigator, Firefly.

When I put together the weekly summary and Arrows from Zion this week, I saw report after report from different Israeli ministries that reminded me how standing for them was so like the last 2 years standing for Mike Bickle and IHOP.

Especially piercing were was the statement of one Tel Aviv minister who wrote,

“The Enemy Came After Us, But We Are Not Leaving!

The Enemy Defiled A Place of Prayer but God is Not Finished!

These Are Not The Days For Shrinking Back.

There Are the Days of Bold Faith and Spiritual Fire!"

One of my new friends at IHOP is Lisa Bickle Stribling and yes, she is angry. She too has been collecting documentation of the under-the-radar orchestration of the attack on her brother and his inheritance, the fruitful vineyard of IHOPKC. Bickle's worldwide network of prayer houses which have been decimated down to a small percentage of what it was in May of 2023 when 5 million intercessors were appealing to Heaven to open the eyes of Christians to what He is doing - as promised - to Israel in our day.

Lisa's own church was mentioned in the first Firefly report making it appear as if an abuse case was also in her ministry. It was a lie that cost dearly specialized in outreach to the downtrodden - like the Aviv ministry in Israel - a church that feeds the poor. A major city contract pulled funds from Hope City based on a total fabrication published in the Firefly report which is RIDDLED with fabrications! This is how the accusers manipulated others by intimidation of destroying them with lies if they did not play along with the lies about Bickle and IHOP.

It is not only Israeli unbelievers who have veiled eyes, it is also the Church whose eyes are veiled and believing HUGE lies against the man who led the largest, most effective Israel Mandate in the nation.

I don't have a problem with Lisa's anger. When the truth is found to be lies, is there not a cause to tell the truth and shatter the lies?

That is what I have always done about the lies about Israel, and that is what is called for in all the lies that have made a man of God, who did not commit the sins as accused, and the much lesser reality of sin he did commit decades before was forgiven, under the blood of Jesus.

That woman Jezebel is who you all are tolerating.

Now I know that my friends in Jerusalem have believed the lies, because one told me since the beginning of being entangled in this thing, he has felt like a plumber being called to clean out a clogged toilet. I can only say to him that the reason he feels that way is because he believed accusations that were great lies about a man he knew and should have known better that this was no chronic predator running a House of Predators.

Instead of turning away from the facts on how this went down - I know everyone is tired of hearing about it, but until the lies are exposed IT IS NOT OVER.

That's why you should welcome information that would confirm you did not spiritually misjudge a man you had relationship with for decades, and who always was on the cutting edge of spiritual alliance with Israeli ministries.

Once you understand the Firefly report is FULLY bogus and see the true facts of the spiritual conspiracy, the only godly thing to do is to renounce the Firefly reports and both of the Pastoral Recommendation reports. Enough damage has been done to our friends.

It is time to peel away the veils of deception on the false accusations against Mike Bickle and IHOP, and Hope City, KC. It is time to repair the breach and tend to the wounded.
