Download or read book IHOP Kansas City Leadership Review written by T. Dunstan and published by . This book was released on 2018-10-28 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A group of former students, radical bloggers, outspoken critics, and a former teacher at the International House of Prayer (IHOP) in Kansas City pooled their experience, research and complaints into a bold live presentation to Mike Bickle, founder of IHOP-KC, and members of his leadership team. Speaking truth to power, this small book is a distilled version of that historic meeting, concisely articulating serious unresolved problems at the famous organization. The authors present a compelling case in a reasonable tone without hyperbole or cheap shots. This is a professional-quality document which a retired professor and historian called "maturely written." It solves the IHOP puzzle. It gets to the bottom of critical Biblical issues of sound doctrine and human dignity. It is must reading for all students, staff, and interns at IHOP struggling to understand what is happening and why something doesn't seem right. Anyone considering IHOP should read it to weigh the risks and find out whether they should commit themselves. Getting in is easy, the authors say; getting out is another story. This is a wake-up call to IHOP leaders who claim to want the Holy Spirit to be released in unprecedented fashion for an epic revival of Biblical proportions, yet continuously grieve the Holy Spirit and quench the Spirit by mean and abusive sociopathic behaviour, then wonder why there is no revival. IHOP Kansas City Leadership Review was written with a depth of analysis rarely found in charismatic circles about a darling in the charismatic world. Discover secrets and lies revealed by named insiders, not anonymous internet complaints. One of the authors led the public charge against IHOP-KC after the tragic Bethany Deaton suicide and suspicious Micah Moore fake confession scandal, demanding answers from leaders. The controlling IHOP behavior is annoying to some and stifling to others. Strange things go on there. The mini book is a tour de force; it is like John the Baptist, a voice crying in the wilderness, calling leaders to repent. It is respectfully written but very direct. The authors show a huge amount of restraint while they were deeply concerned about inexplicable decisions and IHOP-KC's fake leadership culture. Without flinching they begin an intellectual challenge against two IHOP sacred cows considered by some as infallible as the Pope and as reliable as the Book of Mormon: Mike Bickle and Prophetic History. The book concludes by raising the obvious and most basic question: how could everything happen right under Bickle's eyes without him knowing? The answer of whether it was by design or negligence will be determined in large part by how Bickle responds to the stunning revelations about his leaders.
Download or read book False Prophets written by Ernie Gruen and published by . This book was released on 2018-10-21 with total page 54 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pastor Ernie Gruen was in a tough position in January 1990. A spiritual leader of the Kansas City area with over 30 years of experience in church ministry, he had seen many sincere Christians seriously hurt by Mike Bickle's group of false prophets. They were very uneducated, emotionally unstable, spiritually weak, badly led, inadequately supervised and poorly disciplined--but frequently promoted. Gruen had embraced and promoted Bickle, the new pastor in town, when he arrived in the city; so he felt partially responsible. He had confronted the power-hungry young preacher privately, but he neither repented nor recanted. There was no brokenness, no humility--just defiance and deception. He was stubborn as a mule, acting like an ungodly man in the Old Testament who had been marked by God and confronted by a prophet, showing no signs he would change. There was no point in further delay.Now it was time to step up, speak out, and name names--dramatically expose the private sins and public heresy of a serious man who consistently appeared so godly, so devout, so "cutting edge"--so prophetic. To the many Christians who saw the rising American religious star in public and heard all his wild stories at church meetings and special conferences, he clearly appeared to be pure gold--prayerful, worshipful, sacrificial--the leader of the future, the elite man of God called, anointed and appointed to lead the chosen generation into the greatest revival in world history: a global harvest of a billion souls.Could anyone so sincere be so sincerely wrong? Do I go with what I believe God is telling me? Or do I just accept what they say God is telling them?The struggle was so stressful. But his decision was final. He would face his fear of death. He would get in that pulpit with the entire congregation present and the tape recorder on, and defy the "prophets" to preach the sermon of his life--the word of the Lord--a prophetic rebuke against the worst fake prophetic movement in a generation.It was not a group effort in preparation or delivery; it was one man with one voice and one message. Usually he was a pastor of just his church; but on a winter Sunday morning, walking in the fear of God, carrying a special sermon carefully crafted on his knees with his Bible open, Ernie Gruen became, if only for one day, a prophet to an entire nation.

Download or read book Wandering Stars written by Keith Gibson and published by . This book was released on 2011-12 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "It is a serious thing to claim to speak for God. So serious, in fact, that a prophet who claimed to speak for God and whose words did not come to pass was to be put to death according to the Old Testament. God takes both His Name and His word so seriously that He gave some of the harshest rebukes in all the Old Testament to those who were claiming to bring revelation from Him that He had not sent. One final note. There is always the temptation when dealing with a subject of this nature, to pull out the most outlandish quotes in an attempt to make one's point more forcefully. Though it is certain that some will feel that this is exactly what has been done, I have attempted to resist this temptation. While an extreme example has occasionally been used in order to demonstrate how heretical the movement is at its fringes, for the most part, I have attempted to use quotes from those considered more 'mainstream' within the apostolic and prophetic movement. It is my desire to demonstrate that the issues addressed in this book are rampant within the community and not isolated in one or two marginal teachers. It is my sincere prayer that this book will be used in some small measure to awaken the church to the seriousness of the errors being propagated within the apostolic/prophetic movement and to call the church back to the truth." - Keith Gibson

Download or read book The Rise of Network Christianity written by Brad Christerson and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2017-02-01 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why, when traditionally organized religious groups are seeing declining membership and participation, are networks of independent churches growing so explosively? Drawing on in-depth interviews with leaders and participants, The Rise of Network Christianity explains the social forces behind the fastest-growing form of Christianity in the U.S., which Brad Christerson and Richard Flory have labeled "Independent Network Charismatic." This form of Christianity emphasizes aggressive engagement with the supernatural-including healing, direct prophecies from God, engaging in "spiritual warfare" against demonic spirits--and social transformation. Christerson and Flory argue that macro-level social changes since the 1970s, including globalization and the digital revolution, have given competitive advantages to religious groups organized as networks rather than traditionally organized congregations and denominations. Network forms of governance allow for experimentation with controversial supernatural practices, innovative finances and marketing, and a highly participatory, unorthodox, and experiential faith, which is attractive in today's unstable religious marketplace. Christerson and Flory hypothesize that as more religious groups imitate this type of governance, religious belief and practice will become more experimental, more orientated around practice than theology, more shaped by the individual religious "consumer," and authority will become more highly concentrated in the hands of individuals rather than institutions. Network Christianity, they argue, is the future of Christianity in America.
