Mike Bickle’s admission about Catholic influence on International House of Prayer

This information has been withheld from the IHOP-KC/Onething website: Mike Bickle has invited the Catholic Church to participate in the IHOP-KC Onething 2015 conference.  The Catholics have accepted. This Onething partnership almost came to pass in 2012, but thankfully did not happen. Here is what IHOP-KC founder Mike Bickle had to say about Catholic influence on IHOP-KC back then:

From the Office of Public Relations, Franciscan University of Steubenville, 11/9/12:

“The International House of Prayer (IHOP) was founded in 1999 by Mike Bickle, who says that many IHOP teachings draw upon the works of St. John of the Cross and Teresa of Avila, as well as contemporary Catholics including Father Henri Nouwen and Father Thomas Dubay, SM. The IHOP 24 hour prayer room, he says, was inspired by the spiritual practices of  Catholic European monks, such as St. Bernard of Clairvaux. ‘I’ve always had a passion for Catholic-Christian unity, and enthusiastically welcome this years Catholic track,’ says Bickle. ‘We may have different religious traditions, but we focus on fellowship, and unity and Jesus being glorified in prayer, worship, and teaching.’” [1] (bold mine)

“The most crucial problem with the Roman Catholic Church is its belief that faith alone in Christ is not sufficient for salvation,” states Gotquestions.org. [2]

“The Bible clearly and consistently states that receiving Jesus Christ as Savior, by grace through faith, grants salvation (John 1:12; 3:16; Acts 16:31, Romans 10:9-10, 13; Ephesians 2:8-9) The Roman Catholic Church rejects this.  …If a person believes what the Catholic Church officially teaches, he/she will not be saved. Any claim that works or rituals must be added to faith in order for salvation to be achieved is a claim that Jesus’ death was not sufficient to fully purchase our salvation.” [3]

A profound and terrible thing is happening here. Which Christian “leader” is next to play a part in pointing the visible church towards Rome? James Robison? Kenneth Copeland? Beth Moore? Rick Warren?

Oh. Wait.  These people have already done that.

This grievous move by IHOP-KC may be the beginning of a sadly spectacular syncretism.

IHOP-KC is working to undo the Reformation, and must be considered a factor in the end time deception.

  1. Mark, here is some research for you, thanks for stopping by. http://www.lighthousetrailsresearch.com/blog/?p=10964

  2. Actually the Catholic Church is the Church who first believed and still believes that we are saved by grace through faith. So your statement is false. These misconceptions and false teachings about the faith is the problem it is where the division comes from. You should do some real research before you make false claims

  3. Reblogged this on My Word Like Fire and commented:

    When is a sheep a wolf? Mike Bickle and Francis Chan are being used to undo the Reformation. Will the rising false church have Catholic and contemplative roots? It is happening even as we speak. This article is reblogged because it includes Mike Bickle’s admission that many IHOP teachings draw upon the works of Catholic contemplatives Teresa of Avila, John of the Cross, and others. The article also asks which Christian leader will be next to point the visible church towards Rome. Well, as became evident during Onething 2015, that leader is Francis Chan.

  5. Diana, IHOP is heavily contemplative, and many of Bickle’s decision are based on deceptive visions etc. He actually wants a book about Catholic contemplatives to be “the manual for IHOP-KC.” https://mywordlikefire.com/2011/07/29/mike-bickle-of-ihop-wants-book-about-catholic-mystics-to-be-manual-for-ihop-kc/

  6. This is so unbearable…where is our faithfulness to Jesus, the Gospel, and the Word? Doesn’t that matter anymore? Their desire to seek divine union is spiritual fornication because the wedding hasn’t happened yet. Could this be why Babylon, the whore, is called a fornicator…because she leads the church to seek union before the marriage? This is where Ann Voskamp wants us to go, but we’re still betrothed!
