It
will change you. Tell them we sent you. AMAZING stories!
If
not here, where? If not now, when? If not us, who?
Before you
write and yell at me, maybe you should double check that somebody
hasn't already done it for you. Repetition is not good stewardship of
anyone's time. Plus, I've tried to respond to the concerns voiced and
maybe that will help you understand the point here. Thank
you. I love you no matter what. Read
some of the responses to the Open Letter to Mike Bickle
I'm asking for everyone
to tell their story. ANYONE that has been hurt by Mike Bickle,
IHOP or associated ministries or who have been told by God to stay
away from them. Any prophet or apostle that was sent with a word of
correction and tossed out on their ear (or arrested). I'm asking for
them all to come forth. I will give you a forum to speak and get
these messages to the Body. If you have audio or video
testimonies, or copies of specific rebukes or corrections that were
not received by Mike or IHOP, let us know. fotm@fellowshipofthemartyrs.com
This IS NOT about anything
other than LOVE for the Body and a desire to see restoration and
redemption. We WILL NOT publicize slander or bitterness or anything
that isn't pure. But we DO want to hear it all. If you
still haven't healed from the damage done to you, come to
LIBERTY. There is healing in LIBERTY. There is revival
and renewal in LIBERTY. Contact us and see if this is true.
Also, we
STRONGLY suggest that you read or listen to the book "The Red
Dragon" on our site HERE. The very
first story in the book, though a name isn't mentioned, is about the IHOP.

Dear Brother Mike,
You don't know me.
I doubt you've ever even heard of me. I'm just a guy. But I'm a guy
that was called by God to pick up the pieces in Kansas City and bring
revival. I'm not the only one that was called, but there are only a
few people that are in this unique position to speak to you and to
write this letter.
First, I take as
my authority for doing this publicly I Timothy 5:19-20, “Do not
entertain an accusation against an elder unless it is brought by two
or three witnesses. Those who sin are to be rebuked publicly, so that
the others may take warning.” There are LOTS of witnesses that
have been watching and stand with me in this.
Brother, I'm
asking you to repent. Two and a half years ago God showed me a vision
of how bad and dark things are and how angry God is at the church. I
have been weeping and groaning and mourning ever since. He has
totally turned my life upside down. I told Him that I would do
whatever it takes to turn this around. He said to restore the City
Churches. He said to start in Liberty, Missouri. He said
that He would fulfill His promise to Kansas City and that it would
start in Liberty. He said that many had tried but that time was
running out and this was it. He began to show me some of the people
that had tried before and how they went wrong.
The Lord showed me
that if He entrusts you with great responsibility and resources and
you screw it up, He'll take it all away and give it to another. And
He'll turn you over to the desires of your heart and your own
depraved mind. Some of the people called to bring revival to Kansas
City are in jail. Some are dead. Some are languishing in painful
physical or emotional diseases. Some were turned into successful
ministries that look like they are prospering, but they are all full
of dead bodies and don't even know it. God Himself will send a strong
delusion on you if you don't carefully obey Him. Read Deuteronomy 28.
Please, Brother, I
don't know if it's even possible for you to hear me, but please
listen. You missed it. You're off the reservation. The Lord has
turned IHOP (and your other ministries) over to a strong delusion and
they are full of every kind of imaginable oppression and delusion.
This was never what God wanted. You didn't do the four things that
God commanded you to do. He has been raising up people to try to
replace you for years. Andrew Strom was one of the men sent to Kansas
City from New Zealand to bring revival. He couldn't keep it together
either, now he's gone. There are MANY to whom God has promised the
same role and calling and mantle that He promised you. I've met or
heard of many of them.
I pray that you
will hear me. You've done MASSIVE damage to the Body of Christ.
The thing you have built is not after His heart and it's full of
pride and self and performance and delusion and love of money. You
were supposed to bring revival to the CITY. I'm from here, this
is my city, I want revival. And it should have come twenty
years ago, but you made it too much about you. God said He would send
false prophets from the very beginning and you would have to discern
them. You tried to identify them and weed them out, but you didn't
understand that He was speaking about the false prophets inside of
YOU that needed to be guarded against most! Satan isn't God's
worst enemy, WE are! We're the ones that invite him in and listen to
his lies. It's the antichrist in our OWN nature that will get us!
I want you to know
that God has fulfilled His promise to Kansas City. The Kansas City
revival started. And it started on October 31, 2005 when a fire began
to burn in Liberty, Missouri. God restored the Lampstand of Liberty,
Missouri and a cloud began to rise and it's been spreading. In
August of 2006, God lit the Lampstand of Kansas City, Missouri.
Others around the country are being lit. God is restoring the City
Churches. It doesn't look AT ALL like you (or any one else, including
me) thought it would, but it DID start and it's snowballing and
growing every day. “Where the Spirit of God is, there is
Liberty. The Kansas City revival will start in Liberty.” I'm
told those were the words of Mahesh Chavda at your own conference
about ten years ago.
On October 31,
2005, the Lord spoke to me that His eye had moved North of the
Missouri River. I asked what that meant and He said that you had used
up your last chance and His eye was seeking those who would obey.
Later that night, on the darkest night of the year, God lit a fire in
Liberty that can't be put out and it is spreading.
There is no hope
but repentance. When God turns you over to a strong delusion, you
CANNOT rebuke it off in the name of Jesus. You cannot get free until
God releases you. You may not even be able to hear my words. But I've
seen it over your buildings. I've seen it on your family. The curses
of Deuteronomy 28 are afflicting you. I've seen it over
everything you touch. It is real and it is horrifying and it is
devastating the people of God. I've held my tongue for a long
time, but the Lord says it's time to speak. No more warnings. Now
He's going to lift the skirts of all the priests that led the people
to the worship of idols and God is going to show them for what they
are. But, Brother, I do this with great fear, because I know
that if I make this about me, if I do this for any motive other than
love, He might just turn ME over to something that will destroy me
and I might not even know it.
You're welcome to
contact me. I'm glad to meet with you. I'll tell you what has
happened. I'll tell you what God has shown me about revival and
Kansas City and all the people that have come before and the mistakes
that were made and the City Church and what God really wants and what
it's going to take to get Him to pour His Spirit out on all flesh.
He's given me the keys. And NOW is the time. All that's left is
whether you are going to repent and help – or if He is going to
steamroll over you. But He IS going to fulfill His promises to Kansas
City. Nobody, not me or you or Andrew or anybody, is going to get in
His way this time. I'm calling everyone that has been a part of this
mess and participated in your ministries to repent so that we can go
forward together and turn Kansas City around.
Please, Brother,
I'm going to have to warn the people and keep warning them until you
repent and bring forth fruit in keeping with repentance.
I'm just a guy.
I'm nobody really. It's just that I said I was willing to do anything
and give up anything. And then God told me to do what He told you to
do and you hadn't done yet. Please hear me, Brother. Please repent
loudly and publicly and help bring revival to Kansas City. Please
don't get in His way anymore. Please.
This
site is meant to be just
a plain, direct reporting of how miserably, horribly, devastatingly
badly we
- the
Christians in
the West - have
mismanaged the massive gifts which God has entrusted to
us. Maybe we can change
directions if we try something different. Maybe if we started
listening to God really well and obeying radically, no matter what
the cost. Yeah, that might work.
Although
we're perfectly capable of it - we're
not trying to impress you with our fancy web design, marketing savvy
and slick Madison Avenue ad techniques. Truth is Truth.
Your heart knows the difference.
