Who is Mike Bickle?

Who is Mike Bickle?

Some say he is a prominent Christian leader and will be influential in creating an End-Times army that will pray in the return of Christ.  Others say he is the Anti-Christ.  We take a look at the facts and let you decide.

 

 

Mike Bickle is the former senior leader (until July, '99, senior pastor)at Metro Christian Fellowship, Kansas City, Kansas (Formerly: Kansas City Fellowship).   He pastored the Kansas City Prophets and promotes Latter Rain, Manifest Sons of God theology.  He was also a prominent leader in the Toronto Blessing movement, a movement that was found to be corrupted with false prophetic visions and false healings.

Bickle currently leads the International House of Prayer and he told Charisma magazine in July, 1993:

1.     We had an elite spirit. That's become more and more real to me -- it's so repulsive.

2.     We promoted mystical experience in a disproportionate way and it was disastrous.

3.     We were careless in the way we communicated prophetic words. This was hurtful in a lot of cases.

4.     We were wrong in the way we promoted the city church concept. I still believe in it, but now I believe it's a unity based on friendship.

Had his confessions been a sign of repentance and a changing of his ways, this would have been a positive thing.  Instead, Bickle and IHOP grew worse on all accounts.

For a deeper understanding of the Toronto Blessing and the false prophetic words therein, study these writings:
The Kansas City Prophets Chapter in Bill Randles' book "Weighed and Found Wanting"
The Way of Cain - New teachings in the Christian Church- Where are They Leading Us? Feature-length examination of the movement, its teachings, and its teachers.

Suffice to say, Bickle is fulfilling Biblical prophecy, because Jesus warned us against the false prophets, against those that would do works falsely in His name, and that is EXACTLY what Bickle and IHOP are doing. 

Beware!  For the wolf comes dressed in sheep's clothing.
