"I honor and love the IHOPKC community and will forever be grateful for them. They are a most remarkable people"they are truly marvelous comrades. I know the Lord is with them and that His favor and grace will continue to rest on them. Pray for me, Diane, and my beloved family. They have expressed their love and support for me in extravagant ways. With much sorrow yet with prayerful confidence in God's perfect leadership, Mike Bickle" - Mike Bickle
And a pious close now that he has asked for forgiveness, secured his path for coming back to work, and blamed it all on being persecuted. So, we are supposed to pray for Mike, his wife and his family, once again as if they are the victims. No prayers for the defamed former leaders. No prayers for the defamed victims. Please do not lose sight of the facts here amidst the flowery piety and cries of persecution. Mike Bickle has been accused by multiple women of sexually, prophetically, and spiritually manipulating them. The one case that everyone seems to focus on is about a woman who was only 19 at the time when the 42-year-old married Bickle used prophecy, in other words pretending to hear from God, to coerce the woman into bed and into a four-year relationship. Now, we have Bickle admitting to sin from decades ago, lining up with this accusation but he presents it is an oopsie. Just a little moral failing that Jesus assured him at the time he could sweep under the rug, I mean under the blood. He went on to bury the story and God only knows what damage he did to the victim or victims. He built a million-dollar international ministry upon the foundation of putrid ministerial disqualification. He had the nerve to preach holiness knowing he had defiled his own marriage vows, not once, but over many years. He admits that he never went public until his victims did. How brave. He lawyered up and had his current IHOP leadership do the same. His buddies all came out to defend him and now he has publicly called for those same compromised men to pave the way for him to return like Lazarus. Well, if Lazarus was a multiple time sexual abuser who lies about what God says to convince young women to commit adultery with him. We are just at the tip of this iceberg beloved and Mike Bickle is trying desperately to make it all go away. You're not the victim Mike. Save your false piety and I would advise you to keep that lawyer who drafted this faux apology as it sure seems like you are going to need him.
