@RichFMatt @ihopkc Okay yes!!! At the house of prayer, asking jesus what to wear before getting dressed, doing deliverance ministry, and regularly loosing your voice from hours of travail just becomes your ‘ordinary’. It’s wild to think about

I hate to spread @ihopkc right now, but I want to draw attention to a point that is quite literally one of the primary dysfunctions of this place: They move away from the ordinary to be near the holy. This is the quiet part out loud. This is the elitism that leaves people unable to enjoy the ordinary. They are being led to believe that ordinary is less than, and that to be in proximity to the holy requires their prescribed spiritual disciplines. This is why they are so bad at relationship and Community, because they see it as ordinary, less than, and visceral. It betrays the belief that if you were just enlightened, you would see the greater glory of being in a prayer room and not eating. Friends, this is not true. The distinction between the ordinary and the holy is imaginary. To eat is not to sin, to hang out with your friends and not be in a prayer room is not less than. Simple, long-term devotion to Jesus does not require their prescribed disciplines. @ihopkc , you would do better to embrace the ordinary.

A few people have asked me why I still talk about IHOPKC For me, this is why.

Scrupulosity is real. #BobJones had it. A lot of us IHOP’ers had it. Using nonstop prayer to change things is no different than flicking a light switch three times for protection. Hope is a myth, perpetuated by the superstition of prayer.

I think I got a hold of Mike Bickle's schedule! 8:00 - A little bit of Monica in my life 8:15 - A little bit of Rita's all I need 8:30 - A little bit of Tina's what I see 8:45 - A little bit of Sandra in the sun 9:00 - Have the ladies pray Psalm 51 over me 9:15 - Revise the PH

Interns at @ihopkc had to fill out this worksheet while they listened to the prophetic history. It’s 14 pages long, full of questions like “When did Mike have his first encounter with the prophetic?” This is one of the many ways MB ensured that his stories became our story.

Nobody gives a rat ass whether Faytene is a man, woman or a tricycle. It's the christofascism that is of concern.

Faytene violently opposes abortion and the legality of no-fault divorce. She believes women's rights should be subservient to those of men. But, if you think women should have broad and equal rights you're misogynist... Erika Hachey, party president of PCNB ladies and gentlemen.

@starcazm @alterofinquiry says “(I would never threaten you ❤️)” while threatening

In 2022, after knowing about abuse allegations against Paul Cain for at least 18 years, Mike Bickle emailed Jack Deere asking him to revise a chapter in his book, “Why I am Still Surprised by the Voice of God”. Mike wanted content removed about Paul Cain and said: “A dead man is not a predator. People do not need to be protected from a dead man.” Full story can be found on @alterofinquiry Stephen Deere’s Substack.

In 2004, Mike Bickle, Rick Joyner, and Jack Deere publicly exposed Paul Cain. In 2006 Mike announced that Paul was banned from the IHOP-KC missions base, and if anyone saw him, they needed to notify leadership immediately. In 2019 when Paul died, Rick Joyner concluded that Paul never repented or changed. But Mike began publicly speaking about him again and praising him. Mike called Paul “his true spiritual father”… #ihopkc #mikebickle #churchtoo #cult

It’s important to use the word cult. Then you can see the so called “Prophetic History” is really the cult history according to the cult leader. Only when you call it a cult can you admit being a cult member (or cult leader). Only when you admit being a cult leader can you identify the ways you contributed to the cult - a system of profound undue influence and control - and own your part in such. IHOP-KC is a pseudo-Christian cult built and operated on the voluntary labor of uneducated teens and young adults. Mike & Diane Bickle, Tracey Bickle, Misty Edwards, Clay Edwards, Stuart Greaves, Dave & Tracy Sliker, Nate & Sada Rodgers, Isaac Bennett, Dana & Matt Candler, Lenny LaGuadia, Alisha Powell etc. are cult leaders. My opinions: The “Prophetic History” should be viewed as un-Christian fictions assembled to create and reinforce the cult, until proven otherwise. All former IHOP-KC Executive Leaders, worship leaders and ministry leaders should be viewed as cult leaders (and to view themselves as such) until proven otherwise. All former staff and students should view themselves as former cult acolytes, members, or contributors in need of therapy, deprogramming, and recovery. This was not a church and not a ministry. It was a cult with a record label and school. #ihopkc #mikebickle #churchtoo #cult

Here are a couple of Twitter threads which contain my tweets related to my 6.5 week deep dive into the @pcnbca candidate for Hampton-Fundy-St. Martins. (🧵Thread 2) My closing thoughts after finishing her book, Marked and how it reflects Christian nationalism in my opinion - x.com/shawnrouse/sta…

A painful reality that many are finally waking up to is that Mike Bickle was & is a pathological liar and the entire “prophetic history” that built the prayer & prophetic movements is more than likely false. Re-litigate it all if you must but most of those stories won’t hold up.

Voters of Hampton, Fundy, and St-Martins beware. This is not the progressive party you once knew, and your choice in the next election could have many negative effects. Educate your selves on candidates, their backgrounds and what they actually talk about. How did @pcnbca let this happen?

A man that eventually became a groomsmen at my wedding was living off of just black olives for a month at a time because it was all he could get from manna4u the ihop food pantry. I bought him a rice cooker and a 50lb bag of rice for Christmas and had to teach him how to cook eggs. I witnessed the poverty and systemic abuse first hand but bought into the “Jesus is worthy of this suffering” that was constantly spoken to us, and as a young adult didn’t comprehend there was an option that we could serve Jesus in a worthy way and not be taken advantage of to line the coffers of men who claimed to hear from God. As an adult and a religious leader I think it’s imperative we have these conversations and shine light on the darkness that was the abuse at IHOPKC. All of it, not just the sexual.

Good read. Again @Faytene tells us she can't remember what she wrote and stops w/out clearly disavowing the discriminatory meaning or elaborating on her current thinking. Both would be valuable to local voters. NB doesn't need another "Trust me now, I'll explain later" candidate

4/ By stubbornly refusing to budge on their position, by refusing to hire a legitimate third party firm, IHOPKC continues to insult and even abuse victims. They are holding the community captive on a plane that is nose-diving, heading straight for the ground.

My deepest condolences for the loss of a precious life. It's heartbreaking to learn of such a tragic incident, highlighting the urgent need for increased support and action for those experiencing homelessness. Dying while simply trying to survive the cold is a societal failure. May the legacy of this soul be a catalyst for change, urging elected officials to address this crisis with the urgency and compassion it deserves. @Gov_NB @cityofsaintjohn #EndHomelessness #InMemoryOfALifeLost #DemandChange

The problem with the current resignations and even the “confession” of Mike Bickle— including the statement of “separation” from IHOPKC is still this… ZERO TRANSPARENCY. Why are leaders resigning? I have an internal email to staff as well as reports from staff meetings showing the exact problem. ZERO TRANSPARENCY. Some would call us too heavy handed. And frankly I don’t “rejoice” in resignations. In fact I’ll rejoice in truth. And there’s very little of that happening. What’s being covered up? Why has there not been an agreed upon INDEPENDENT 3rd Party to Investigate #ihopkc and #mikebickle ? We KNOW that November 9th Stuart told the Carr’s privately that he said IHOPKC was “not ready” for that and he had no intention of allowing that. Why? What’s to hide? If I seem zealous then please don’t misunderstand me— I am actually focused. And my eye is on the target. What is that Target? Not “shutting down prayer” It’s actually opening up the books and unraveling a system and structure that has harbored MANY MANY stories of abuse and allowed them to go without a voice. @bozlawpa has stated clearly that the reason his client (s) won’t go to Lathrop is because in his 30+ years of doing this work he sees Lathrop as NOT independent. Sliker and Stuart and many others can step down quietly while still allowing the injustice to remain. So say what you will of this but it’s evil. And I’m not just zealous. But we are focused. If we are misunderstood today but the truth comes out tomorrow then that’s fine. But if we don’t speak up today then they’ll just play the “step down” game in hopes to “re organize” in the future and continue this sick game. #RAVI #RZIM #RaviZacharias #NXVIM #KeithRaniere #IHOPKC #MikeBickle
