The allegations against Mike Bickle of the International House of Prayer have been a developing story for about two months. Bickle was accused of sexual misconduct in events that took place 26 years ago. In a Friday announcement from Eric Volz, the spokesman for IHOP, he announced that new revelations have led to the resignation of Stuart Greaves, the executive director of the International House of Prayer, and the ousting of Mike Bickle from the organization.

Since taking over management of the crisis, the executive committee has received new information to now confirm a level of inappropriate behavior on the part of Mike Bickle that requires IHOPKC to immediately,  formally,  and permanently separate from him.  People will surely wonder about details,  but IHOPKC does not have permission from those individuals to share details while they are being vetted further by an independent investigator.
The new evidence against Bickle is, apparently, too much for even the New Apostolic Reformation to tolerate. Mike Bickle allegedly used prophecy to get into adulterous relationships with loose women, including telling these women that his wife was terminal.
Yet even with the ousting of Mike Bickle, Volz insists that the unbiblical “third-party” investigation being handled by a gay-affirming law firm continue and that their church would implement their recommendations.
