The allegations against Mike Bickle have done a lot of damage to the leadership of the International House of Prayer, the most emblematic organization representing the New Apostolic Reformation. The allegations against Bickel have grown more serious amidst the investigation. Yet, in a recent announcement, Eric Volz reiterated the impasse that IHOP Kansas City is having with the so-called Advocate Group during the process.
This announcement confirmed that the scope of investigation has expanded to other leaders who are no longer with IHOP. Volz does not give any names in the announcement, yet he did confirm that Bob Hartley is being investigated. “This is being looked into. Stand by.“
Bob Hartley is another NARpostle who supposedly became a Christian in 2012 during a New Agey experience.
In 2012, God met me through a series of twelve visitations in the night. He took me on an inner healing journey through a spiritual place called the Yellow House of Hope. This powerful encounter forever changed my life by giving me a new perspective on how I view God and the world around me. Now my mandate is “to love God well and rid the earth of despair” I will live my life in hope of sharing the invitation to this 12-week journey with everyone I meet. So I invite you, as a marvelous comrade, to experience this miracle of hope with me.
Bob Hartley is accused of fornication.
Cult leaders do cult leader things like fornication. And the text message receipts don’t look good for Hartley’s innocence.
This is a developing story.
