"According to Galatians 6:1 it is really important that we restore people in the spirit of gentleness. We have to break the power of isolation. We have to break the power of "we need justice." We have to be people that say, we need reconciliation. By the way, in reconciliation is a line for justice. I've been watching what is happening with IHOP and let me say publicly, that I love Mike Bickle. I don't know what the outcome will be but it is not going to change that I love Mike Bickle. He's my brother. It's not going to change that I love him." - Kris Vallotton
Except Galatians 6:1 is not talking about lying leaders who were wolves in sheep's clothing. And restore does not mean to their job or ministry. It actually means to their walk. Now, I do not see any evidence that Mike Bickle has been saved all this time but if you think so and wish to restore him in his walk with Christ, by all means. That has absolutely nothing to do with restoration of ministry or employment. You love Mike Bickle and it doesn't matter how this turns out, you still will love him. How low can we go? If the next victim was 12, will that change you mind? Where is your love Mr. Christian leader for the victims? Where is your concern about reconciling them back to the body of Christ? You fraud.
"Somebody posted on my social media page the other day "You haven't said anything about IHOP so you obviously are part of the problem. I replied, you're an idiot. If I have a problem with someone I know, I don't have to post something on social media so you all know where I stand. This is not entertainment. This is a tragedy. I'm not going to play it out on social media. If you can't look at my life and know where I stand, I guess I don't have much of a life. My goal for IHOP, Mike Bickle, and everyone else who is struggling, including Bethel's struggles is that we would reconcile and see righteousness grow out of it, not another documentary. It's so easy to sit behind a screen and throw rocks at people you've never met. I want us to have a culture where people can fail successfully." - Kris Vallotton
Better to be thought of an idiot for your silence than speak and remove all doubt. The hypocrisy is staggering. This entire sermon is Kris complaining about people he has a problem with, doesn't know and is now throwing stones at. What is worse is he also complains on social media, about using social media to complain! Mike Bickle did not have "struggles!" Stop cheapening the victim's experiences! What reconciliation is Vallotton hoping for here? That Mike Bickle be allowed to prey on more women by lying about what God is saying? No righteousness can grow from the polluted cesspool of IHOPKC. God is tearing it down and we need to stand back and let Him. Don't worry, maybe one day they can do a documentary. Keep failing successfully Kris. You are so good at it.
