No Dr. Brown, there is a serious question. God did not need Ravi Zacharias nor Mike Bickle. He doesn't need me, you or any mortal human being. Ravi was a gifted teacher but that does not mean the gift came from God. In order for that to be true, God would have seen Ravi coercing and spiritually blackmailing female masseuses all over this world to serve his sexual needs but decided to look the other way and use him anyway? I seriously doubt that. God draws people, not man. It is like the tired old defense of Joel Osteen that says some come to the Lord through his ministries and I say no. The bible says in the key verse that it is only through the gospel that one is saved, and Joel Osteen does not preach the gospel. Now, can someone start at Joel's church and eventually seek God and the gospel more fervently and be saved? Absolutely but they were saved in spite of Joel Osteen, not because of him. So, there is no book from Mike Bickle that will draw you closer to Jesus. If that has happened be careful what Jesus you have drawn close to because the one Bickle preached for forty years is false. The bible says there are false Christs and we need to test everything. Remember, IHOP was built on Bickle's adultery.
6. "Why didn't the Kansas City prophets, Bob Jones and Paul Cain know? Some would say they too were false but I know people who received amazingly accurate prophecies from Cain and I know someone personally who said Paul Cain was the godliest man he ever knew." - Dr. Michael Brown
Really. The Paul Cain I read about was disgraced after admitting to homosexual sin and was caught soliciting prostitutes at IHOPKC. That is your godliest man ever? Cain is also one of the cabal that anointed Todd Bentley a prophet. Its funny because Brown refers to Bentley in this video in another capacity, pointing out his disqualification due to repeated sexual sin. So, the ministry where he punched and kicked people to impart healing was ok? No! I understand Brown tries to protect the brand at all costs, but all of this garbage has to go. Bob Jones, Paul Cain and Mike Bickle were not prophets! They were liars and manipulators! IHOPKC was built on this rotten foundation! Did God use these liars? No! One of these three was caught soliciting hookers and admitted to grievous sexual sin. Another abused a 19-year-old sheep by claiming God told him that his wife would die so they could be together. Could God choose to use these hirelings and charlatans? Sure. He is God. But why in the world would He? The answer of course that escapes Dr. Brown is He wouldn't. I know this is difficult for Dr. Brown because he was friends with Bickle and he fell for the lies as easily as everyone else did. It is time however, to care for the sheep again and take a stand for what God takes a stand for. Ravi Zacharias, Paul Cain, Bob Jones, and Mike Bickle were not serving God and God was not using them. It is time we come to grips with that so that all those who were lied to can heal and move on to hear the real gospel of Jesus Christ.
