If you want to save yourself 14 minutes, the gist of IHOPKC’s message is, “We are doing everything right and they are not cooperating. But we can’t tell you what we’re doing.”
Sure. The best of it is that 'leadership' will investigate themselves but they don't have necessary information. And BTW, since most of board members had resigned including chairman that way IHOP enterprises Ltd. are not fully responsible for coverup.
Sorry, but what a croc. And in the words of Michael Glass, "This was the biggest waste of 14 minutes it could possibly be. Not one single word was spoken regarding the allegations until the 10 minute mark, and after that, not one single word was spoken that we have not heard 10,000 times already. NOTHING was said about who the accusers were, what Mike's current position is, or even what in the world the allegations were. NOTHING. Every single thing said has been said ad nauseum and nothing whatsoever specific was said about a single thing in this situation. Can't even one person grow a pair and just tell the TRUTH instead of speaking in generalities?" Amen, I wholeheartedly agree.
It's an update! They aren't pretending to give new information, they're merely letting people know that they're still working on it, and what has been done recently. It's an ongoing investigation, they can't just give out everything they know while they're still working out what is true and what isn't.
John-croc are shoes. So why do we, as bystanders have to know? 😢I haven’t read one commenter list off their sins publicly? The whole comment section is like the scripture where they threw the town harlet before Jesus! 😢
@sheilaboland6285 Crocs are shoes. A crock is a container that holds something. Sheila, I hope by now you understand that the people at IHOPKC that have been responsible for speaking the truth to their people, have been doing the opposite for about 100 days.
They CAN absolutely be substantiated, and high level women in the org are Jane Does, hence severing the ties… It’s painful how inexperienced, aggressively naive and easily duped this audience is.
I think it's just a wise thing for right now. But I think it's good that they are making sure also that they are not saying guilt until I full independent investigation looks into it. Even if you're pretty sure they are guilty, you have to do the right thing by having an independent investigation.
The biggest confusion is... why put the entire church and whole body who are watching this, through such mass-scale chaos and psychological stress with such endless 6-week+ insane drama and literal B.S. of allegations and unknown allegations and potential investigations and potential allegations of some sleazy affairs going down 25 yrs ago to be examined !?! How much is this whole circus costing in total fees, bills, payouts, settlements, compensation, et al ?!? Please stop this utterly destructive psyops manipulation! Keep your updates stuff private until there's some mutual resolution found behind the scenes ! But perhaps the most hypocritical and deceptive slap in the face to all... the very weak and disingenuous concluding comment as he put down the mic, a hurried, mumbled: "Jesus bless you guys..." . Sorry, this fake song and dance on display on stage is so agonizing and painful to witness. Surely Jesus would be flipping tables of all parties involved in this hypocritical destructive act... shame on all parties involved ! In the name of Jesus I rebuke you for this harm done to the Church 🗯
Please keep the faithful worship and prayers going 24/7. I has been a blessing down through the years and Jesus is worthy of praise and there are many more petitions needed. TGBTG for the Prayer Room.
For goodness sake Mike needs to just be a man about it go on camera and say look I want to level with people - this is what I did this is when it happened and give people the truth
Exactly. Stop hiding. Stop manipulating. Repent. Step down for ministry indefinitely and possibly forever. Just get right with the Lord and His church.
The most devastating thing for this church or any church is when the Senior pastor suddenly leaves. Care has to be given to the congregation. They have lost their shepherd. Many churches do not handle transitions well and some will leave the church because of this. However those that stay need to be cared for. Also just talk to the congregation openly and honestly. You do not have to run the cameras to talk about this. Make the people who come in person the priority.

It is usually helpful when trying to minimize the number of allegations "statistically speaking" to also express a belief that one is too many. What he did was the equivalent of saying 12 children were murdered in NYC today, but in a city of 8 million people, it really isn't much.
@@sheilaboland6285I agree. Most churches don't take anything near this seriously. I applaud them. And I don't go to this church and I don't even know who everyone is, but as someone who has been in a mega church, I guarantee that most churches stuff everything under the rug.
That isn't what he is saying. He is saying statistically, IHOPKC has fewer issues of this nature compared to other mega churches of similar size. That's a positive indication.
4 months after allegations came out. "The soon allegations can be addressed, the more trauma can be avoided". Why didn't you just address it correctly at the very start?
How do they address allegations if they don't what's happening? Four months have been filled with investigations, trying to parse lies from truth - it's not like they've been doing nothing for those four months. If they had spoken about it when it first happened, I don't know what they would have been able to say?
@@sarabearas.7645 Are you joking? If they had consulted the victims on a mutually acceptable investigator from Day 1, we wouldn't be where we are today. They would have all the facts known to them and verified to them.
@sara -- fair points... my question would be however: in the past 6+ weeks alone, how much in financial bleeding of the church in total has this chaotic drama of some probable sleazy affairs going down 25 yrs ago, cost (in all collective fees, bills, payouts, compensation, stipends, loss of economic productivity, loss of church offerings and donations) ?!? Therein alone, is a tragic brutal win for sa'tan and those evil forces waging war against the Church and followers of Christ.
Outside investigator has been named in previous. I do not remember the name, but if you will go back through past posts, you will find it. There is no lack of transparency on this.
IHOP employed Lathrop GPM as their "independent " investigator but in any of these announcements, they always leave out that the victim(s) lawyers have already stated why this isn't an appropriate law firm to handle this case. Apparently Lathrop is a defense law firm that works for religious and corporate institutions to help them handle allegations - which isn't a truly unbiased investigator to use in this scenario. You can find a fuller explanation in the statement on Boz Law's website in their News section from Dec 16, 2023. I'm not sure why IHOP isn't taking this into account in their selection...but it does make me doubt that they are truly interested in an independent investigation.
I know it broke my heart to have to leave after ignored complaints. Sad it took this hard a crash to force honest examination. I pray we all grow from the realities
“Has appropriately handled this case?” 🤦 IHOPKC has literally swept these allegations under the rug for 20+ years and never given a voice to the survivors 😢
Ya, I cant believe he is up there patting themselves on the back. Like really? Even if you did everything great is that appropriate? This is the first time there has been any appologies given but they handled it appropriately. Wow
Just be glad IHOP is in Kansas City, USA and not say, in Moscow RF... whereas, it would of course be the victims being literally swept under the rug for such troublemaking .
@@morningjewel yesterday was the first time they gave any kind of an "hey sorry" to the victims. This should of happened awhile ago. So no, they didnt do much of anything correctly. They knew enough to permenantly seperate from Bickle but still never said anything to victims. Very sad. Shows more concern for themselves.
@@busterbarlow9094 yes I agree with that. I understand not saying anything at first cause you have to be sure it's substantial but I guess- trying to level headed in this- just because they haven't done things in what we consider the correct order, doesn't mean that all they've done is to be thrown out. Being on the outside, it's hard to understand just how hard it is to process (mentally, emotionally, business-wise) these things. As a SA victim in my past, I understand the depths and hurts that are being walked out. May we all be praying for God's mercy, not man's judgement. Shalom.
I can understand the need to be fair, impartial and through. What I am struggling to comprehend is the lack of examination of those who made the allegation. If the advocacy group is hindering the advancement of the investigation, close the matter and move on. Are we dealing with believers or unbelievers?
Oh, what lengths you are going to in order to protect the ihopkc brand. Fyi... Jesus doesn't care about your brand. He cares about truth, and justice for those who've been harmed. The longer you drag this out & obfuscate the greater the fall will be.
@@sheilaboland6285 Exactly. But he doesn't care about religious structures. Check the new testament to see what Jesus prophesied about the destruction of the temple. He wasn't kidding about that.
You can’t pick and choose scripture to fit your narrative. MB doesn’t fit the money changers. I guess I am blind. Totally blind. IF MB is guilty of leading two lives it will be difficult for me to believe.
If the Advocate Group and those they represent refuse to communicate, then the charges must be weak. They can either agree immediately to interviews or drop it and move on. That seems a common sense approach. The Advocate Group has been acting suspicious from the beginning. What ever happened to the biblical approach of taking these kind of things before the church? The Advocate Group rushed to the media in an online presence from the get go; not biblical.
Or . . . we are hearing only one side of what is being said behind closed doors and the advocate group sees through this convoluted approach that only has IHOP's best interests at heart. Someone needs to stand for the women. Hence, advocate.
Do some research online I read some very thorough articles that leave zero questions in my mind on what happened and no I won't explain it ..Bickle is gone for a reason and the accounts are credible.
The advocate group has appeared to be extremely controlling and manipulative as well as stonewalling with communication. They've also bullied Misty Edwards and other Jane Does. Google the Charisma article with those women's statement about the harassment they have faced.
clearly you people have not gone and actually listened to these people. This is a massive cover up here using the exact play book of the catholic church, penn state university, etc. This is terrible.
You guys sound like a secular organization. The way you approach the whole scandal is very much how the secular world does. KC-IHOP and the like reveal how deep the apostasy is in the modern Charismatic movement. I thank the LORD that He took me out of this movement years ago. The red flags were everywhere....
May the Lord bless you and take good care of you. 🌈 May the Lord smile on you and be gracious to you. 🌈 May the Lord look on you with favor and give you his peace. 🌈
IIRC, they did, and it was not an independent inspector, but one with ties to someone on their side of. In other words, someone who was not independent.
Absolutely not. According to Misty Edwards and multiple other Jane Does, they've been questioned 3 times. The advocate group has behaved like they're blackmailing ihopkc. When you make an accusation, you can not strong arm the accused into obeying your commands. They should not be dictating their course of action, then saying, "No, not like that. Nope, not like that. No, not like that." to everything they try to do.
God knows if these are lies or if they are true. The women who participated in any kind of misconduct is just as guilt as anybody else let’s just be real unless someone was forcibly made to do something wrong. It seems as though these people are disgruntled folks with longstanding anger issues. God please bring the truth here. Let restoration begin in every heart.
Folks - This is called Clergy sexual abuse. Clergy Sexual Abuse occurs when a member of clergy uses his or her position and power to exploit, harm, and sexually abuse a member of their congregation. Due to the imbalance of power, including spiritual authority, experience, and knowledge on the part of the leader, there can be mutual consent to a romantic or sexual relationship. It is instead of a sacred, fiduciary trust between a spiritual leader and one under their care.
I have a hard time understanding why drag this out when there's no cooperation from the accusers? Seems like a colossal waste and terribly unfair to the accused, not to mention irreparable damage to the House of Prayer movement.
@@kathiewaltersWhy would the accusers and advocates come forward and then play games, make demands, and stonewall. If you're not wanting to talk, why come forward at all?
To Musicrme46, those are pretty serious allegations. Mathew 18 says to go to them, with witnesses if necessary, and if they don't listen, go to the church. It doesn't seem like that has been done.
With all due respect to his military service, Kurt Fuller is retired from the Army. Why do we have to refer to his rank now he's working in a civilian position. Looks like arrogant posturing. Name dropping. God doesn't call him General Kurt Fuller. It's such a turn off. Jesus didn't walk around calling himself THE Son of God.
How can we be quarreling amongst ourselves…. Don’t you see that we are living in the last days??.. if he is guilty let the good lord turn it around for his glory n pray for this person but right now we all must suit up n boot up cause this world is manifesting real live demons out to get every one of us our kids our families our loved ones
Yes, and there were/are real live demons helping to orchestrate what this man did and what his fellow leaders are doing now to protect him and cover their rears. By doing nothing, our kids and families and loved ones might be preyed upon next! Would you send your daughter or grand-daughter out of your house to spend large amounts of unsupervised time with this man, or any man, for that matter? That's okay with you? It's not a matter of quarreling, but a matter of right and wrong and justice and protecting the sheep of God's pasture from predators in church-leaders' clothing!! Can you imagine the damage if these were young unsaved 20-somethings who may never turn to Christ due to the stumbling block of this man's actions????? These are people's lives he messed with!!!! It's called TRUTH - that same TRUTH that sets people FREE! These leaders are not interested in the truth. Their previous investigation resulted in them believing the victims, and now this? They are paying for an "unbiased" investigation conducted by ONE person? Hmmm . . . no conflict of interests there. For all we know, she is in a relationship with him, too! This is a cover-up happening right underneath deniers' noses, a cover-up where if successful, potentially aids and abets future victimization of the vulnerable.
Shocked as am thought I was getting IHOPKC update on MB only to find out someone made a video and videos mercilessly slam MB, I turned it right off, and since then so many videos popped up all about their opinions concerning someone they know as victim of the allegations, subtitiles are hard to miss but I refused to view, felt like a big time gossip among the Christians and further more hurts or anger. I have been involved in sexual misconduct investigation and absolutely zip mouth no talk with uninvolved people nor talking about it outside, the offender get angry and started bad mouthing and spread rumors to get people to stand on his side. Some times the case would be the victim also didn't have the right motive as well due to personal struggles with purity of mind and imagination issues that acted out in a momentary of weakness. so these are all details to consider in the investigation. And sometimes the offender has no repented of that but the victims still struggles. So there's a lot of aspects involved, God want his believers to walk out salvation in fear and trembling, and restoration is more important than spreading words around when you are not the party being asked to investigate.
It's too much, just shut it down. Maybe by doing that, the fear of the Lord will fall on so many others who are doing the same, the name of the Lord and the reputation of his church has been dragged through the mud long enough, let this be an example that everything you do in darkness will be brought to the light.
The alleged victims and the Advocate Group did not agree with the selection of this investigator, so they refused to cooperate. The investigator they wanted was from a law firm that is actually representing one of the alleged victims, so it is not independent.
There’s not such thing as victims, no where in the Bible does it say to have sec with leaders. They are victims of the devil for not following Gods commandments
Stop labeling people 'General' & get to the root of the teachings that are pushed which glorify certain individuals & give them 'titles'. Keep the root there and it will just happen again. . .
Yes! Over and over. They've created a military-like environment and they send the message that they are all going to protect the organization at all costs.
There was a prophecy I saw - maybe bob Jones , years ago about those with Mike B would turn against him- those closest to him… it’s in the long series of celebrating and presenting ihop’s history
Exactly. They're "not comfortable" with meeting cuz they're fabricating the story as they go. This is a coup, not just with previous leaders, but current ones. A letter filled with known lies of women who told these men ahead of time not to include their names cuz it was lies, and demands to control IHOPs funds, is the foundation for the entire "case". So the foundation for the accusations is a letter filled with lies, which is Satan, yet not one of these "investigators" sees a thing wrong with it. It's called deception. It's a coup from jealous leaders.
Night and Day prayer/worship is Jesus’ desire! I know you people that have invested you lives do not do it because Mike and others had a few supernatural encounters! I know you will go to the ends of the earth to pursue the mandate from Heaven! You and your pursuit are drastically underestimated by those who are “lookers on”! God Bless you servants of the Lord! God sees your struggle, He is your Victory Banner.

I understand not saying anything at first cause you have to be sure it's substantial but I guess- trying to level headed in this- just because they haven't done things in what we consider the correct order, doesn't mean that all they've done is to be thrown out.
Being on the outside, it's hard to understand just how hard it is to process (mentally, emotionally, business-wise) these things. As a SA victim in my past, I understand the depths and hurts that are being walked out.
May we all be praying for God's mercy, not man's judgement. Shalom.
❤God is real!❤
Yessss He is Indeed!!!!

I can understand the need to be fair, impartial and through. What I am struggling to comprehend is the lack of examination of those who made the allegation. If the advocacy group is hindering the advancement of the investigation, close the matter and move on. Are we dealing with believers or unbelievers?
What now, General Fuller?
I still don’t get all these updates.
Prayers for you all
Hello!
Yes, Healing, Restoration, move on FORGIVENESS and let’s us run the race that is before us and never give up. Hebrew 12:1-3
Oh, what lengths you are going to in order to protect the ihopkc brand.
Fyi... Jesus doesn't care about your brand. He cares about truth, and justice for those who've been harmed. The longer you drag this out & obfuscate the greater the fall will be.
Jesus cares about everyone.
@@sheilaboland6285 Exactly. But he doesn't care about religious structures. Check the new testament to see what Jesus prophesied about the destruction of the temple. He wasn't kidding about that.
You can’t pick and choose scripture to fit your narrative. MB doesn’t fit the money changers. I guess I am blind. Totally blind. IF MB is guilty of leading two lives it will be difficult for me to believe.
If the Advocate Group and those they represent refuse to communicate, then the charges must be weak. They can either agree immediately to interviews or drop it and move on. That seems a common sense approach. The Advocate Group has been acting suspicious from the beginning. What ever happened to the biblical approach of taking these kind of things before the church? The Advocate Group rushed to the media in an online presence from the get go; not biblical.
Or . . . we are hearing only one side of what is being said behind closed doors and the advocate group sees through this convoluted approach that only has IHOP's best interests at heart. Someone needs to stand for the women. Hence, advocate.
Do some research online I read some very thorough articles that leave zero questions in my mind on what happened and no I won't explain it ..Bickle is gone for a reason and the accounts are credible.
The advocate group has appeared to be extremely controlling and manipulative as well as stonewalling with communication. They've also bullied Misty Edwards and other Jane Does. Google the Charisma article with those women's statement about the harassment they have faced.
clearly you people have not gone and actually listened to these people. This is a massive cover up here using the exact play book of the catholic church, penn state university, etc. This is terrible.
You guys sound like a secular organization. The way you approach the whole scandal is very much how the secular world does. KC-IHOP and the like reveal how deep the apostasy is in the modern Charismatic movement. I thank the LORD that He took me out of this movement years ago. The red flags were everywhere....
Forgiveness. Healing. Truth. And Justice. Right??
EXACTLY! If that's not the goal then . . . Fill in the blank.
He sounds like a politician. We’re trying to get something done, but there are people blocking us. Wow. How many people will really buy into this.
Ahhh new reports coming in .. I hope you keep us updated
I can’t take this crap anymore, Minister of truth Eric Volz, please just stop…
i love it when people say, "just pray for ......" WE'VE BEEN PRAYING 24/7 SINCE 1999!!! How much more do you want me to pray? lol
May the Lord bless you and take good care of you. 🌈
May the Lord smile on you and be gracious to you. 🌈
May the Lord look on you with favor and give you his peace. 🌈
Not overly appreciative of the obvious edits. A live and unedited video recording is more trustworthy.
Yes indeed. The edit at 13:11 is egregious
The Lord always workswith his word Unfortunately these guys were not prophets
EVERYONE IS WAITING TO HEAR FROM MIKE NOT HIS PAID CLONIES.
Let the advocates select independent inspector (s), not IHOP's selection.
IIRC, they did, and it was not an independent inspector, but one with ties to someone on their side of. In other words, someone who was not independent.
Absolutely not. According to Misty Edwards and multiple other Jane Does, they've been questioned 3 times. The advocate group has behaved like they're blackmailing ihopkc. When you make an accusation, you can not strong arm the accused into obeying your commands. They should not be dictating their course of action, then saying, "No, not like that. Nope, not like that. No, not like that." to everything they try to do.
@@RCGWho disagree.
@@Kathy-y7e I doubt highly that if you were accused of something that you'd let your accusers choose your counsel and representation.
Thank you Ihopkc. 🙏
Praying for ALL involved. Grace, mercy and healing. ❤
This has not been handled well. This is causing the gentiles to blaspheme God's name.
It’s a coverup
13:10 ???
word salad.
God knows if these are lies or if they are true. The women who participated in any kind of misconduct is just as guilt as anybody else let’s just be real unless someone was forcibly made to do something wrong. It seems as though these people are disgruntled folks with longstanding anger issues. God please bring the truth here. Let restoration begin in every heart.
Indeed AMEN!!!!!!!!!
They were butthurt Mike didn't give them positions they wanted.
Folks - This is called Clergy sexual abuse. Clergy Sexual Abuse occurs when a member of clergy uses his or her position and power to exploit, harm, and sexually abuse a member of their congregation. Due to the imbalance of power, including spiritual authority, experience, and knowledge on the part of the leader, there can be mutual consent to a romantic or sexual relationship. It is instead of a sacred, fiduciary trust between a spiritual leader and one under their care.
@@joshuasale3650 and I guess the girl was not raised to know how to say NO
@@joshuasale3650 any woman can say NO.
I have a hard time understanding why drag this out when there's no cooperation from the accusers? Seems like a colossal waste and terribly unfair to the accused, not to mention irreparable damage to the House of Prayer movement.
Why would accusers wants to go fo people who had no discernment for 2o years. v
@@kathiewaltersWhy would the accusers and advocates come forward and then play games, make demands, and stonewall. If you're not wanting to talk, why come forward at all?
To Musicrme46, those are pretty serious allegations. Mathew 18 says to go to them, with witnesses if necessary, and if they don't listen, go to the church. It doesn't seem like that has been done.
He said, Day and night prayer, Amen.
Zoroaster Quote: One good deed is worth a thousand prayers. Get out and do the work instead of fantasy land for boring white people
This goes to show how the church is not ready for prime time. Whatever happened to put up or shut up?
With all due respect to his military service, Kurt Fuller is retired from the Army. Why do we have to refer to his rank now he's working in a civilian position. Looks like arrogant posturing. Name dropping. God doesn't call him General Kurt Fuller. It's such a turn off. Jesus didn't walk around calling himself THE Son of God.
Ummm yes He did....
How can we be quarreling amongst ourselves…. Don’t you see that we are living in the last days??.. if he is guilty let the good lord turn it around for his glory n pray for this person but right now we all must suit up n boot up cause this world is manifesting real live demons out to get every one of us our kids our families our loved ones
The Apostle Paul instucted the church at Corinth to judge the sexual sin amongst them.
Yes, and there were/are real live demons helping to orchestrate what this man did and what his fellow leaders are doing now to protect him and cover their rears. By doing nothing, our kids and families and loved ones might be preyed upon next! Would you send your daughter or grand-daughter out of your house to spend large amounts of unsupervised time with this man, or any man, for that matter? That's okay with you? It's not a matter of quarreling, but a matter of right and wrong and justice and protecting the sheep of God's pasture from predators in church-leaders' clothing!! Can you imagine the damage if these were young unsaved 20-somethings who may never turn to Christ due to the stumbling block of this man's actions????? These are people's lives he messed with!!!! It's called TRUTH - that same TRUTH that sets people FREE! These leaders are not interested in the truth. Their previous investigation resulted in them believing the victims, and now this? They are paying for an "unbiased" investigation conducted by ONE person? Hmmm . . . no conflict of interests there. For all we know, she is in a relationship with him, too! This is a cover-up happening right underneath deniers' noses, a cover-up where if successful, potentially aids and abets future victimization of the vulnerable.
Is there anyone in this fellowship who once were involved with COBU?
Vision with information for spiritual awareness 🎉
If by any chance the allegations are found to be false, who will be held accountable for all the turmoil caused?
Every sentance is put in such a way that it becomes an excuse as to why @it might be true “
Are we going to see Mike and the worship team cry like Jimmy Baker ?
Way past time for investigations and talk of allegations. But there's still time for repentance. Mike?
Handling this so well IHOPKC. Well done.
You’ve set the bar low -> nice
Shocked as am thought I was getting IHOPKC update on MB only to find out someone made a video and videos mercilessly slam MB, I turned it right off, and since then so many videos popped up all about their opinions concerning someone they know as victim of the allegations, subtitiles are hard to miss but I refused to view, felt like a big time gossip among the Christians and further more hurts or anger. I have been involved in sexual misconduct investigation and absolutely zip mouth no talk with uninvolved people nor talking about it outside, the offender get angry and started bad mouthing and spread rumors to get people to stand on his side. Some times the case would be the victim also didn't have the right motive as well due to personal struggles with purity of mind and imagination issues that acted out in a momentary of weakness. so these are all details to consider in the investigation. And sometimes the offender has no repented of that but the victims still struggles. So there's a lot of aspects involved, God want his believers to walk out salvation in fear and trembling, and restoration is more important than spreading words around when you are not the party being asked to investigate.
It's too much, just shut it down. Maybe by doing that, the fear of the Lord will fall on so many others who are doing the same, the name of the Lord and the reputation of his church has been dragged through the mud long enough, let this be an example that everything you do in darkness will be brought to the light.
Bla bla bla!!!!!!!!
Improvement 😮
The spin doctor is spinning well! pls go home spin doctor!
Wow, you people really dragged your feet on this. Can anyone say “cover up”?
So the investigators can’t talk to the victims??
The “victims” won’t talk to the investigators
@@ahighlandgirlgee, I wonder why the alleged victim-JD doesn’t want to talk?
The alleged victims and the Advocate Group did not agree with the selection of this investigator, so they refused to cooperate. The investigator they wanted was from a law firm that is actually representing one of the alleged victims, so it is not independent.
There’s not such thing as victims, no where in the Bible does it say to have sec with leaders. They are victims of the devil for not following Gods commandments
It's been Ichabod for a long time
I wonder what the presence was that I was feeling from it then?
@johnsmit5999: God loves and moves on the hearts of the sheep of His pasture in spite of crooked leadership.
Stop labeling people 'General' & get to the root of the teachings that are pushed which glorify certain individuals & give them 'titles'. Keep the root there and it will just happen again. . .
Yes! Over and over. They've created a military-like environment and they send the message that they are all going to protect the organization at all costs.
You’re on to something - ihop and the military
The prophetic history is what made ihop. The prophetic history was wrong, Mike is out, so why go on?
Are you advocating that IHOPKC disband?
There was a prophecy I saw - maybe bob Jones , years ago about those with Mike B would turn against him- those closest to him… it’s in the long series of celebrating and presenting ihop’s history
“General”?
Yes? Pretty sure that what he was in the military if I was to take a shot in the dark. 🤷🏻♂️
i was taken aback by that title too, but I guess some titles carry throughout one's life?
It is very rare, but there are people who were given that name at birth. I am assuming that's what this is.
@@ucarouen he is a retired major general. Its super easy to google people. It should have been obvious any way wow lol.
Let’s bring in a military man for a prophetic movement 😂😂😂the congregation is very low level
👍
This is called, controlling the narrative with carefully crafted word tracks
It’s Too big
It seems that false accusers would refuse to meet.
Exactly. They're "not comfortable" with meeting cuz they're fabricating the story as they go. This is a coup, not just with previous leaders, but current ones. A letter filled with known lies of women who told these men ahead of time not to include their names cuz it was lies, and demands to control IHOPs funds, is the foundation for the entire "case". So the foundation for the accusations is a letter filled with lies, which is Satan, yet not one of these "investigators" sees a thing wrong with it. It's called deception. It's a coup from jealous leaders.
It seems like victims being re-victimized would refuse to meet, too . . .
Night and Day prayer/worship is Jesus’ desire! I know you people that have invested you lives do not do it because Mike and others had a few supernatural encounters! I know you will go to the ends of the earth to pursue the mandate from Heaven! You and your pursuit are drastically underestimated by those who are “lookers on”! God Bless you servants of the Lord! God sees your struggle, He is your Victory Banner.

How come the words don't line up with this man's speech when he's talking. Every time I've seen him talk the words are off from his mouth moving. What's up with that?
Didn’t set the audio delay correctly.
Free Mike
Mike has exercised a little bit too much "Freedom" 🕳👨🦯🧑🦯👩🦯
Ihop is cheap entertainment for boring white people
Mike needs to free himself. The TRUTH will set him free, if he yields to it..
