Beyond The Basics

I’m going to try to make this short.

General Kurt Fuller, the acting director of IHOPKC, made this statement earlier this week. I encourage you to watch the video, but I want to let you know where I’m at after seeing it this week.

This statement is so full of arrogance and wickedness to a level I never thought possible from IHOPKC. There is a lot of context here that I don’t want to take the time to get into but he is standing there calling good men like Allen Hood, Dwayne Roberts, and Dean Briggs liars while insisting they trust him all while representing an organization that has been proven to be untrustworthy for months. He is standing there shaking his fist in arrogance against the Lord and insisting on a process that is so far outside the Lord’s design for healing that even a secular corporation wouldn’t even go down this path.

I can no longer participate in such a corrupt and wicked worship system.

IHOPKC, you have offered profane fire on the altar of the Lord. Your worship is no longer pure. You persist in “keeping the fire on the altar” while you ignore the weightier matters of justice and mercy (Matthew 23:23).

If you are currently involved with IHOPKC and you are reading this, I can completely understand why you would ignore these words because I’ve never spent more than a few days there. But I’ve been involved in the prayer movement in other parts of the country for the last 12 years and I’ve seen how other prayer rooms conduct their business with wisdom, compassion and justice. I’ve seen it done right.

If you are currently involved with IHOPKC right now and you have a pure heart to minister to the Lord in worship and intercession and you’re reading this, please hear me. Now is the time to leave. Get out while you can before you become corrupted by this corrupt system. There are plenty of wonderful prayer rooms around the country who care for their people. Make your way to Florida and I can connect you to the wonderful leadership at the Tampa House Of Prayer.

As I’ve said before, I still believe in the day and night prayer movement. I believe it is from the Lord. But that movement means absolutely nothing if we do not care for the abused, the hurting, and the broken in our midst.

“By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.” (John 13:35)

I love the prayer movement but I can no longer worship along with the live webstream, I can no longer visit the prayer room, and I can no longer recommend their ministry to others. They have dug in their heels and have taken counsel against the Lord as they raise their fists in arrogance (Psalm 2:2).

IHOPKC, the Lord has a controversy with you. Time is running out to repent. If you still fear the Lord, come out from her (Revelation 18:4).

As for me and my house, our hearts are utterly broken to see our favorite ministry fall so far. We will pray and weep for God’s mercy for IHOPKC and for justice for its victims.
