"I pled with General Fuller to accept whoever the advocacy group puts forward. He felt that they already had an independent investigation and they were going forward with it. I believe with all my heart that the advocacy group has been trying to do the right thing on behalf of the victims and I truly believe that General Fuller wants the truth to come forward but we have reached an impasse." - Dr. Michael Brown
I separated this out so we can see the stark problems with the way Brown presents this. He presents this as if both sides are reasonable. They are not. General Fuller is turning out to be just as much as a shill for IHOPKC as all the ones before him. As long as he does not accept an approved outside source, then IHOPKC will remain untrustworthy in this matter. How in the world can Dr. Brown believe Fuller is sincere when he holds such insincere positions? If he really wanted the truth to come out, he would stop fighting with the advocacy group and bring in an independent party. He won't because he does not want to. Period. End of story.
So, I will be reaching out to senior respected leaders, people who do not have a dog in the fight. I will ask them to come together and reach out to the advocacy group and to find a third part that is acceptable to the advocacy group." - Dr. Michael Brown
Dear Lord no. This is the Todd Bentley fiasco all over again. In 2019, the absurdly false preacher Todd Bentley was again caught with his pants down and Dr. Michael Brown got involved in the subsequent kerfuffle. He convened what he called a panel of respected leaders to determine if the married Bentley sexting with congregants presented some sort of issue for the church. Never mind that his entire ministry since the Lakeland demonic movement has been a sham. Nonetheless, Brown convened what I referred to as an NAR clown car of false teachers to make this determination. Apparently, he thought it went so well, he wants to do it again? Exactly who will these senior respected leaders be? Who will be the ones respecting them? Last time, two of the chosen were Joseph "I lead all apostles" Materra and James "absurd false prophet" Goll. I hope the advocacy group is smarter than this. The plan is to shuffle off the responsibility to this new panel and simply claim that they tried to bring in folks without a "dog in the fight." Except all false teachers are in the same fight. We do not need more NAR false teachers coming in to defend the industrial complex, split the bill, or provide cover. For example, the Bentley panel determined he was unfit for ministry. So, what does Todd Bentley do today? Ministry. He never missed a day. That's the real purpose here. No matter what this prestiged panel finds, IHOP will be allowed to continue as if it was not founded upon mountains of lies, false prophecies, heresy and sexual assaults. Hallelujah, pass the offering plate and open the 24-7 prayer room!
"If Mike is guilty, then its up to that leadership group to call Mike to repentance, show fruit and be restored in his personal life. Where he's been falsely charged then he needs to be cleared
He's very jealous for his people and the reputation of His Son. Let's work together to bring some redemption out of this. Let this be a time when the refiner's fire comes and does a housecleaning in all of us. Lord, start the work in me. Let the refiner's fire come and let us move forward with greater purity, and greater honor in the days ahead." - Dr. Michael Brown
If??? This is why Brown is simply untrustworthy. There is no doubt in at least the one story of the 19-year-old! IHOP leaders who were serving Bickle thought it so bad they broke ties with him! There is no more "if." Brown is right that God is very jealous for His people, not people who say Lord Lord and for the reputation of His Son. It was just revealed this week also that the wife of an IHOP administrator was "involved" with both Bickle and his son, Luke. The affair with Luke was even brought To Bickle's attention but he buried it. He also did not reveal that he himself had "very questionable" interactions with the same woman for six years before he was handed off to his son. What was that again about refiner's fire?
"Let the movement of prayer continue. Just a few months ago, this prayer movement out of Kansas City rallied more people together to pray for Israel to my knowledge in history. Now Israel is in the battle of its life. The whole region is in turmoil and pain." - Dr. Michael Brown
