ihop, the international house of prayer, is part of the apostate church that is seducing millions of people with their teachings and their music. One of the most abhorrent teachings is their "bridal paradigm" teaching. In this teaching, Mike Bickle (founder of ihop) says we are to treat Yeshua like a "romantic lover" and that He (Yeshua) woos and romantically pursues them. Many of the women in the ihop cult have visions of Yeshua taking them to the "upper chambers" and then they claim He has sex with them. This is accepted by ihop without rebuking this as heresy. Mike Bickle uses the Song of Solomon as well as the idea we are the "bride of Christ" in order to deceive his followers into believing this. He even teaches this is how men are to treat Yeshua. No wonder the apostate church is becoming more sodomite affirming and accepting.
This "bridal paradigm" from ihop is also accepted by bethel-redding (the two are closely yoked together) and Bethel-Redding's music ministry "Jesus Culture" sing about Yeshua as a romantic lover:
How He Loves Kim Walker-Smith (Jesus Culture) I have removed repeating lyrics
He is jealous for me
Love's like a hurricane, and I am a tree
Bending beneath the weight of His wind and mercy
When all of a sudden,
I am unaware of these afflictions eclipsed by glory
And I realize just how beautiful you are and how great your affections are for me.
And oh
How He loves us oh
Oh how He loves us
how He loves us oh
He is jealous for me
Love's like a hurricane, and I am a tree
Bending beneath the weight of His wind and mercy
When all of a sudden,
I am unaware of these afflictions eclipsed by glory
And I realize just how beautiful you are and how great your affections are for me.
We are His portion and He is our prize
Drawn to redemption by the grace in his eyes
If grace is an ocean, we're all sinking (ha ha)
So heaven meets earth like a sloppy wet kiss
And my heart turns violently inside of my chest
I don't have time to maintain these regrets
when I think about the way
Yeah
His presence. His love.
Is so thick and tangible in this room tonight.
And there are some of you here that have not encountered the love of God.
And tonight God wants to encounter you.
And wants you to feel His love.
His amazing love.
Without it these are just songs.
These are just words.
These are just instruments.
Without the love of God, it's just like we're just up here just making noise.
But the love of God changes us,
And we're never the same,
We're never the same
After we encounter the love of God
We're never the same after we encounter the love of God
And right now if you haven't encountered the love of God,
And you would know,
Because you wouldn't be the same.
You would never be the same again.
And if you, if you, want to encounter the love of God right now,
You better just brace yourself because He's about to just blow in this place
And we're gonna encounter the love of God right now.
So God I speak to all the hearts
And I ask God that every heart be open right now
Every heart be open.
Every spirit be opened up
To you God. To You.
And a love encounter
A love encounter from you tonight
A love encounter from you tonight God.
Yeah He loves us
Oh how He loves us
Oh how He loves
Let it go deep go deep go deep
He loves us
Oh how he loves us
oh how he loves us
oh how he loves
His love is going deep
His love is going deep tonight
His love is going deep tonight
See the Father
Behold the Father
Behold the Father (ha)
Anyone who is okay with this and even listen to Jesus Culture or ihop music are not saved - they have been seduced by the jezebel and kundalini spirits of the apostate church and are on the broad road to hell. This is not the Jesus / Yeshua of the bible and is not of a Holy God - it is a seducing spirit. If you realize you have been deceived, you need to repent and accept Messiah Yeshua as your Lord and Savior and turn away from this. These seducing spirits have lead thousands, if not millions, of "Christians" to sexual sin of all types and is one reason pornography and sexual sin is running rampant among those who claim to be Christians. If you need help with sexual sin, then seek help from a Christian ministry that deals with this and definitely repent and ask Yahweh to lead you away from all that is evil in His eyes.
The ONLY way to get rid of this influence is to cut it off - do not allow the teachings of apostate "pastors" or the music that their demonic spirits attach to. satan was the music minister in heaven before iniquity was found in him and he is using it to seduce those, even the very elect, to follow him instead of Messiah: Remember, the false prophet movement NAR (new apostolic reformation) is an integral part of ihop and both came out of the demonic serpent seed replacement theology believing Kansas City prophets (which I have posted about previously).
Matthew 24:24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.
Time is very short and satan will use his minions to pretend to be your friends and will use your family that belong to him to seduce you down the broad road to hell with them. Scripture is clear that there are those who pretend to be believers that have sneaked into your life to deceive you with their lies. Often they do this by introducing their heresies so gradually that you are boiled like a frog and end up being cooked sheep like I posted about yesterday. satan's minions will also discredit those who belong to Yahweh with lies and slander so you will listen to them instead of those who do teach the truth. Messiah Yeshua said they would do this:
Matthew 5
10 Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
11 Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.
12 Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.
13 Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men.
The apostle Paul said that in the last days people will leave Christianity and follow demon spirits and satanic doctrines and will lie hypocritically. This often leads to their telling lies about someone for something they, their self, is doing. I have seen this, and been a victim of this, first hand. Messiah Yeshua said the same thing: we are to judge - but not HYPOCRITICAL judgment.
1 Timothy 4
1 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;
2 Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;
Matthew 7
1 Judge not, that ye be not judged.
2 For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.
3 And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?
4 Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye?
5 Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.
The ministries of ihop, bethel-redding, and hillsong are yoked together and are seducing millions of people with their music and satanic doctrines. Many people have fallen away into this seduction and are in danger of spending eternity in hell unless they repent. Most of these people will not listen to the truth they are so deceived and will attack those who try and tell them the truth:
Matthew 7:6 Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.
If you are following Yeshua and have friends and family involved in the apostasy, the only thing you can do is pray for them and let them know you are praying for them. It will take the Holy Spirit to soften their hearts. Unfortunately most are reprobate or will soon be and will not be saved. This is hard to accept although you have to remember they have a free will to choose and most will choose the pleasures of this world and hell over Messiah Yeshua and spending eternity with Him.
ihop - international house of prayer is an apostate organization that touts its apostasy as a "revival". Other parts of the Great Apostasy are Bethel-Redding (and their music ministry "Jesus Culture") and Hillsong among many others. What most do not realize is that the music of the Great Apostasy leads to demon possession with the kundalini spirit that mics the Holy Spirit - to the point most people believe and accept it as the Holy Spirit without question.
I have seen numerous ministries that were once God fearing and on fire for Yahweh be brought down by the kundalini and jezebel demons. 99% of the time the first contact with the kundalini these fellowships have is the music from the false revival. This is how jezebel seduces Yahweh's people to follow after false "gods" leading to possession by the kundalini demon. Once the music infiltrates a fellowship or church, the fellowship / church is taken over unless there is discernment and major spiritual warfare to stop it.
The bible warns us of a seduction by these false ministries for a reason: They SEDUCE you by using something that sounds so good to suck you into their apostate ministries and destructive false doctrines.
2 Timothy 3:6 For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts,
they creep in by the internet AND by music!
2 Timothy 3:13 But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.
The jezebel spirit is one of false religion / destructive heresies. This demonic spirit seduces Yahweh's followers to commit spiritual fornication with false "gods" because it knows Yahweh detests a mixture and Yeshua will spew the mixture of false mixed with true out of His mouth.
Revelation 2:20 Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee, because thou sufferest that woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols.
Revelation 3
14 And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God;
15 I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot.
16 So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.
If you love a song and it is pointed out to you that the musician is part of this demonic Great Apostasy and the music is seducing you to follow after false "gods" and you still choose to listen to it then you are worshiping Yahweh YOUR way instead of HIS way. You are mixing false with truth just as Ancient Israel did so many times. If you continue to listen to music of the Great Apostasy then you also need to ask yourself if this musician or song has become an idol that you have put in place of Yahweh.
Even if the music contains truth, if it leads you to follow false "gods" then it is to be rejected - it is a test from Yahweh to see if you truly love Him and will follow Him regardless of the smooth things spoken (or sung) in His name:
Deuteronomy 13
1 If there arise among you a prophet, or a dreamer of dreams, and giveth thee a sign or a wonder,
2 And the sign or the wonder come to pass, whereof he spake unto thee, saying, Let us go after other gods, which thou hast not known, and let us serve them;
3 Thou shalt not hearken unto the words of that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams: for the LORD your God proveth you, to know whether ye love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul.
4 Ye shall walk after the LORD your God, and fear him, and keep his commandments, and obey his voice, and ye shall serve him, and cleave unto him.
Exodus 20:3 Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
You cannot serve both Yahweh and satan. You need to choose if you are going to place Yahweh above any music, any possession, or any person in your life. If you choose ANYTHING over Yahweh - even the way YOU choose to worship Him - you are NOT serving Him. Yahweh wants worship HIS way, not YOUR way. Obedience to Him is more important than sacrifice / worship.
1 Samuel 15
22 And Samuel said, Hath Jehovah as great delight in burnt-offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of Jehovah? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of rams.
23 For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as idolatry and teraphim. Because thou hast rejected the word of Jehovah, he hath also rejected thee from being king.
In Ancient Israel, they brought in idols and abominations into the sanctuary and Yahweh sent Ezekiel to warn them to get rid of everything evil from the sanctuary:
Ezekiel 8
5 Then said he unto me, Son of man, lift up thine eyes now the way toward the north. So I lifted up mine eyes the way toward the north, and behold, northward of the gate of the altar this image of jealousy in the entry.
6 And he said unto me, Son of man, seest thou what they do? even the great abominations that the house of Israel do commit here, that I should go far off from my sanctuary? but thou shalt again see yet other great abominations.
7 And he brought me to the door of the court; and when I looked, behold, a hole in the wall.
8 Then said he unto me, Son of man, dig now in the wall: and when I had digged in the wall, behold, a door.
9 And he said unto me, Go in, and see the wicked abominations that they do here.
10 So I went in and saw; and behold, every form of creeping things, and abominable beasts, and all the idols of the house of Israel, portrayed upon the wall round about.
The response of the Priests of the temple to Ezekiel was "Go away, Ezekiel, we will worship God OUR way" Any time someone tells you to allow demons into your sanctuary, they are not speaking for Yahweh but are speaking for the adversary. Even if they are a believer and a follower of Yahweh, a demonic spirit can be used by them like they used King David to number Israel:
1 Chronicles 21:1 And Satan stood up against Israel, and moved David to number Israel.
Note that this was with Yahweh's permission because His anger was kindled and He wanted to punish Israel:
2 Samuel 24:1 And again the anger of Jehovah was kindled against Israel, and he moved David against them, saying, Go, number Israel and Judah.
Yahweh is very angry when congregations choose to worship Him THEIR way instead of the way He asks to be worshiped (another example is Aaron and the golden calf) and He will allow demonic spirits to use people against that congregation in order to punish them for their wicked disobedience.
There is a remnant of people - very few - who choose to follow and worship Yahweh the way He asks to be followed and worshiped:
John 4:23 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and truth: for such doth the Father seek to be his worshippers.
Yeshua says the road is NARROW and FEW --- meaning ***FEW*** find it:
Matthew 7
13 Enter ye in by the narrow gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many are they that enter in thereby.
14 For narrow is the gate, and straitened the way, that leadeth unto life, and few are they that find it.
The deception is SO great that many people believe they are following Yahweh and doing His works yet Yeshua will REJECT them because they did not obey Him.
Matthew 7
21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father who is in heaven.
22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy by thy name, and by thy name cast out demons, and by thy name do many mighty works?
23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
Yeshua expects us to be on guard for wolves and KNOW who they are by their fruit - not welcome them into the sanctuary as fellow sheep where they can destroy the flock. If someone insists on playing music that leads to following the kundalini spirit - that is ROTTEN fruit, not good fruit. It is the seduction of jezebel.
Note that these deceivers come to you pretending to be Christians and they are out to destroy you:
Matthew 7
15 Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly are ravening wolves.
16 By their fruits ye shall know them. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of
thistles?
17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but the corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.
18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
20 Therefore by their fruits ye shall know them.
I've walked alone with Yeshua for a very long time because there truly are very very few that are on the narrow road. Many start off on the narrow path but then choose to do things THEIR way instead of Yahweh's way. I would rather be alone with Yeshua on the narrow path then on the broad road walking with many others . It would be nice to have someone to discuss scripture with and to fellowship with although I won't compromise to do so.
If you have fallen for this deception you can repent and turn back to Yahweh. You need to do so before it is too late because once the rapture happens and the salt and light (true believers) are removed from the earth, then the strong delusion will be given to those who did not repent and to those who chose the path of unrighteousness.
2 Thessalonians 2
10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
