Mike Bickle ‘Unfit to Lead a Ministry,’ Say 8 Christian Leaders
In the wake of mounting allegations of sexual and spiritual abuse by IHOPKC founder Mike Bickle, eight prominent Christian leaders have released a joint statement declaring he should no longer be involved in ministry.
These eight voices—Michael Brown, Jack Deere, Dan Juster, Patricia King, Joseph Mattera, Sam Storms, Michael Sullivant and Terri Sullivant—write that Bickle is “unfit” for ministry, and IHOPKC has “lost credibility in the eyes of many.”
From the time that the charges were first brought against Mike, while addressing this scandal on different levels within our own circles of ministry and in various public settings, we have been waiting for proper investigations to take place and all charges to be known before making final, definitive statements. Some of us have also been working behind the scenes over these months to help ensure that a proper investigation takes place. But since this process has dragged on for so long, we can wait no longer and feel a sacred responsibility to make this unequivocal, joint statement.

Prophetic End-Time Echoes of Ancient Springs
This month on March 10, we celebrate the beginning of the biblical sacred year.
The Lord Himself specified that the sacred year would begin in the spring at the time of the Exodus (Ex. 12:2). In Egypt the new year had begun in mid-July when the bright star Sirius rose in conjunction with the annual flooding of the Nile. By moving the new year to the beginning of spring, God wasn’t just differentiating His people from the Egyptians, but He was also restoring the year to its ancient parameters.
Even before the flood of Noah, Enoch’s calendar begins with the spring equinox. This calendar is contained in the apocryphal book of Enoch, which was quoted in the New Testament and is a part of the Ethiopian Church Bible. There is strong evidence that portions of the book may have actually originated with Enoch, including the fact that his astronomical observations come from an area far north of the Holy Land, perhaps from the Black Sea, which scientists admit was “recently” flooded under salt water and could have been Noah’s home.
Youngest GOP Female Senator Ever Talks Faith and the Time Her Girl Saw Jesus During a Tornado
CAPITOL HILL – The youngest Republican woman ever elected to the U.S. Senate is documenting her faith-filled journey in a new book. Sen. Katie Britt sat down with CBN News to talk about the role God has played in her journey from Alabama to the Senate chamber.
If you don’t know about Alabama’s first female senator, don’t worry, you’re not alone. “If I ever get the Capitol Police to figure out I work in the Senate, that would be step 1. Still, still to this day, I get stopped multiple times a week to ask to show my ID,” Sen. Britt told us.
She now finds herself in the mix with some lawmakers twice her age trying to set policy for America.
Dallas Jenkins Reveals ‘Bad News About ‘The Chosen’ Season 4
Fans of the hit TV show “The Chosen” were likely surprised to see creator Dallas Jenkins release a Facebook video over the weekend with a shocking title: “I’ve got bad news about Season 4’s release.”
That proclamation gave a clue into some of what could be expected from Jenkins’ more than 16-minute “family chat,” as he dubbed it—a candid conversation about why season four of “The Chosen” was released in theaters, the monumental cost of producing the series, and upcoming plans for the show.
For years people have wondered if Bohemian Grove is real, and if it is, what happens there and are there actual initiation ceremonies that take place?
After last night’s Oscars where celebrities applauded one another for their work in the film industry and others made remarks in support of Gaza during the Israel-Hamas war, Hollywood is flooding the web and social media. Even when John Cena ran on stage without clothes, some wondered if this could be a Bohemian Grove initiation practice. So, what if there’s something more to what is happening behind-the-scenes with some of the world’s most elite people?
In a reaction video, Ruslan KD shared Alex Jones’ footage from The Bohemian Club, which documented strange ceremonial practices that reflected Satanism.{eoa}
