Back in March 2007 I contacted the publisher of Alpha Omega Report because I knew he lived near Kansas City. I was researching IHOP. This is what he told me:
Believe it or not, despite their rhetoric, they are a non-factor in the KC area and most people, including most ministers either have no clue they exist or have only vaguely heard of them. I think this is primarlly because they are viewed as a “cult” or “cult-like” in nature and are or have been pretty-well marginalized.
This may have been true at the time but now we can see this is changing.
GOD TV is Now Carrying the IHOP-KC Renewal – from Slaughter of the Sheep
What started out as the “Student Awakening” at Mike Bickle’s International House of Prayer (IHOP) is now being billed as the IHOP-KC Renewal by God TV, who will be carrying the “revival” starting in January. If you’ll rewind to a little over a year and a half ago, God TV was implicit in bringing the Lakeland Outpouring to gullible sheep around the globe. As has been proven in the past, God TV’s Wendy and Rory Alec will jump on anything that will spread the wildfire of mystical heresy around the world. They apparently don’t want to be left out of this latest move.
When the Student Awakening was being carried via live webstream they were able to reach many around the world, but with God TV picking up the feed, there will be almost a half a BILLION households added to the audience. That figure staggers the imagination. That’s like pouring gasoline on an already out of control fire.

Believe it or not I am still getting letters from peole who cannot tell if what is happening in these type of services is from God or from the devil.
The pentecostal movement has given this confusion to the world. a broad sweeping statement but an accurate one. The pentecostal movement is the womb from which all these mutations have spawned.
The first casuality is discernment. Jesus told us that his sheep would hear his voice and that they would not follow a stranger
John 10:4 And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice. 5 And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers.
John 10:27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:
Too few are asking the logical question because the answer may be just too painful or fantastic to contemplate. The question is …Are then these people who walk in this heresy of protestant christianity the sheep of Jesus?
As the Lord rebuked the Pharisees for making their converts twice the sons of hell that they were so these false apostles, prophets and teachers do the same.
Gone sadly are the days when the body of Christ could point out the deviant, now we are challanged to point out the true disciple of Christ.
As one who walked in this deceit for 19 years, I have a thankful heart towards the God who snatched me from such madness and I freely extend compassion and mercy to those caught in this evil. That said we do those caught in it a diservice to sugar coat it and pretend that it is not repulsive to the God of scripture and a different gospel than the one that Christ taught. May 2010 be the year of the clarion call from those who have been too timid to witness to the truth.
Some caught in this are genuine believers in Christ just as some who are caught in romanism are genuine believers in Christ but the same call from Christ goes to both deviant religions.
Rev 18:4-5 And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues. 5 For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities.
I have noticed that the Lord has given more than sufficient witness as to the evil of such a movement since its birth. God has faithfully shown the character of the men and women who lead this perversion.
The sexual perversion of their prophets, the alchohol abuse, the divorce, the greed. The theft and misappropriation of finances. The consistent false prophecy of their leaders. ( Bentley commission for example)
God really used Bentley as a sting operation to draw out the modern false teachers into one big net called ‘God TV’ and show the body of Christ in one operation the fact that they do not know Him nor speak on behalf of Him nor discern any of the Lord’s thoughts or ways. How many sheep caught in the wolves mouths escaped that day only heaven knows but the Lord was faithful to demonstrate to any who had ears to hear.
May 2010 be the year of the great escape for those who have fallen prey to this false river and all its estuaries.

from one of these IHOPU awakening services;
Are you ready! Your righteous anger may well up here!!!

Well beloved, as I was saying that, the power of God hit Mark Anderson, one of YWAM’s major leaders, and the Lord reminded him of a word that the Lord had given him, which was “Two for One.” That in a meeting of major leaders of YWAM, the Lord visited him and said “For every abortion that God was going to release two souls and bring them into His kingdom.” That the greatness of His mercy, God was going to show great kindness to the earth. And for every abortion, He was going to release a mighty move, a mighty outpouring of His spirit, to bring in two souls.

IWTT,
This link doesn’t work for me….is there another way to access?
For my new readers and subscribers:
I first become aware of IHOP through the study of dominionism and becoming acquainted with Discernment Ministries and Herescope. Both are on the blogroll.
I had received a dream one night of black clouds hovering over a city which I knew to be KC. I was zoomed in only to see that the black clouds were black wings, and these were demons.
I have prayed long and hard about this dream because I believe we are first to seek the Lord through His Word. However, I also believe He does work in other ways but much discernment is needed.
I started reading the site Sign of Jonah, (no longer available) where I met many who I still have contact with today.

IWTT,Only a demonic entity would release such a perverse lie. I guess 21st century YWAM evangelism can now work like this, lets all hope that heathen make babies and kill them in the womb and so see the future church grow. The more murders the more Christians…No longer does the church need to preach the gospel, now we can just wink at sin knowing that this is the secret method thru which God will grow his church. The fact that they can’t discern the utter evil of this so called word from God shows how utterly anti christian these people have become.
I can only shake my head in shock that such wickedness haunts the bride of Christ. Once again the pentecostal movement releases evidence that it was not birthed from God
The same old lies, the best is yet to come, mass conversions and supernatural bla bla bla. If the world converts and become like the ones chanting the mantra in the above video link then God have mercy upon us. That above video service gave me the heebeejeebies. It felt more like witchcraft than the holy people of God worshipping God. Paganism meets christian verbage at IHOP.

IWTT,
I can’t make the video work either. So I am also wondering if there is another way to access it that you are aware of.

At the bottom of this site

I would not use the “bride of christ” so loosely. the HER in “come out of her “looks just like everything we see in ALL of organized christendom.THERE WAS A REASON JOHN WAS ASTONISHED WHEN HE SAW THE WOMAN in 17th chapter of rev. I think the original moving of God during the Keswick revival was not counterfeit.{I highly recommend the study}. But like all annointed movings of the Spirit, The enemy is right there to twist the blessing. “The war on the saints” was a response to this great revival, and the counterfeit fallout that followed……… May God give all of us a heart for the stretch. P.S. I am new to all this so have mercy on me…….. broinchrist

broinchrist,
Thanks for your input… being as you are new to blogging? I would refer you to a sight where there is much information about what this topic is about.. there are some great posts here as well but I like the time and effort this person has taken to discuss this issue and more regarding the hyper-charismatic branch of pentecostalism…

Hello,
Also I would like to direct you to this site
http://slaughteringthesheep.wordpress.com/
Chrystal has become a major contributor to the discernment ministries. I recommend all the sites on my blogroll.
I know you read my post on War of the Saints. This is a great book although I do not agree with all of it. I do not believe in a second baptism of the Holy Spirit. I believe we receive the Holy Spirit when we become believers. I think this is discussed in length in another post.

Hey Kim,I believe that is true I have never been a big fan of of all of mans clever extra-biblical terms. I think of this “second blessing” as the result of a life poured out[Marys alabaster oil],forged by time, making enough room for a measure of the the Holy Spirit for service. “The righteous acts of the saints”. We have to trudge through the sand of humanity{teachers} to find the GOLD of His Kingdom. Thanks for responding.

Second blessing? I have never heard this term before.
There are some really good Bible teachers out there, but I learn the most by prayerfully reading my Bible and discussing scripture with others on how to apply it to my life.
January 7, 2010 at 8:46 pm
Paul
Kim, second blessing is a term that pentecostal folks use to describe the experience of speaking in tongues and possibly also prophesying, that they see as a sign that they have become filled with the Holy Spirit.
They see this as a seperate and later experience following the christian’s regeneration or born again experience therefore it is a second blessing.
( first blessing being regeneration or salvation.)

Ah….another term for the same thing.
I remember when I was truly converted. I was brought up in the church as a young girl, but turned away as a teenager. I knew the routine, the words, but I never really committed my life until 2002.
I read a little book about prophecy and then God hit me. I knew He was returning and I wasn’t ready. I fell to the ground and wept for hours because my sin was exposed. This was my awakening. Getting this close to God convicted me and I felt unholy and unworthy. My life changed that day. And I have hungered and panted for His Word in the Bible ever since.

IWTT same old same old. If any one tries to call these guys to any kind of biblical standard the are cursing them. ‘Err on the side of grace’… how many times have we heard that one?’ Grace only extends to the boundaries of scripture, when its outside of scripture it’s licence which is sin.
So King Bob wants every one to sin by giving him grace ( really licence) to continue sinning with his lies and false religion. It matters little to him that he is driving a train to hell. His thoughts are if you dare say a word you are cursing and will be cursed.
The above is charismatic false teacher defence policy 101. Learn it well and respond with biblical discernment friends.
