Prayer and Justice Leader Supports Ted Cruz for President

HOUSTON, Texas – Presidential candidate Ted Cruz today announced the endorsement of Mike Bickle, Founder and Director of the International House of Prayer of Kansas City, an evangelical missions organization based on prayer.

“Our nation is in a great crisis in this hour," Bickle said. "We need a president who will first be faithful to honor God's Word. We need a president who will work to defend religious liberty, uphold our Constitution, keep our country safe and our economy sound, and speak truth to the nation. We have been praying for righteous leaders, and Ted Cruz is such a leader. I am enthusiastically endorsing Ted Cruz.”

The International House of Prayer is engaged in many outreaches, justice initiatives, and mission projects. For the last 16 years, their prayer room has continued nonstop in 24/7 prayer led by worship teams. 800 staff members work at the IHOPKC Mission Base in Kansas City, and 800 full-time students and interns attend the International House of Prayer University, which consists of three full-time ministry schools- a Bible school, music school, and media school. About 20,000 people attend One Thing annually, IHOPKC's year-end young adult conference

"Through prayer, the Lord has changed my life and altered my family's story," said Cruz. "I am grateful for Mike's dedication to call a generation of young people to prayer and spiritual commitment. Heidi and I are grateful to have his prayers and support. With the support of Mike and many other people of faith, we will fight the good fight, finish the course, and keep the faith."

Bickle is the author of 10 books including Passion for Jesus, Growing in Prayer, The Pleasures of Loving God, and The Rewards of Fasting. His teaching emphasizes making disciples who seek to walk out the two Great Commandments while serving together to see the Great Commission fulfilled and the fame of Jesus’ name fill the earth. Mike pastored for 23 years before starting the IHOPKC Missions Base in 1999, and has been married to Diane for 38 years, with two sons and five grandchildren.

"If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land."

It seems the conservatives are coming out for Cruze in greater numbers now, and Trump is getting all the DC insiders.
The wheat is being separated from the chaff. The cream is finally coming to the top.

Ping

In doing a little research, I thought you might be interested in this “heralded” endorsement.

Have a really great day~

i agree...IHOP is a cult

I guess folks are lumping all Christians as conservatives and therefore Cruz followers.
And if you support Trump you are neither conservative or Christian.

GO TRUMP!

You just called a work of Jesus Christ a cult, that is the spirit of the antichrist.

CULT:

1. a particular system of religious worship, especially with reference to its rites and ceremonies.

2. an instance of great veneration of a person, ideal, or thing, especially as manifested by a body of admirers:
the physical fitness cult.

3. the object of such devotion.

4. a group or sect bound together by veneration of the same thing, person, ideal, etc.

5. Sociology. a group having a sacred ideology and a set of rites centering around their sacred symbols.

6. a religion or sect considered to be false, unorthodox, or extremist, with members often living outside of conventional society under the direction of a charismatic leader.

7. the members of such a religion or sect.

IHOP fits more than one of these definitions.

Trump hasn't been part of the eGOP "scene" in DC and those that have spent their entire lives climbing the social ladder in the eGOP are scared they won't retain their positions if Trump wins. Period. THAT is why they oppose Trump.

"Don't look now, but while our best conservative is running a political campaign, Trump is leading a rebellion. Not as a liberal or a conservative politician, but as a successful red-blooded, can-do American capitalist.", Jim Robinson

Mike Bickel is a known false “Kansas City” prophet. He has never repented of his sins in leading many astray with his false prophecies. IHOP continues this abomination. The Apostle Paul, Peter, Jude, James, all of the Apostles called out false teachers and false prophets in order to save the flock from these wolves. Are you saying Paul, Peter, James, and Jude are Antichrist?

So do the Baptists.

Consider very seriously what the bible tells us when someone calls the work of the Holy Spirit evil.

Without faith it is impossible to please God. Those who attack Jesus people who have faith, are what?

So far you have only given opinion. Who’s to say you aren’t a false teacher or false prophet? Afterall if the one you accuse of being false are not false then that would make you false.

Ok, fair enough. I am working now, but I promise I will list many of his false teachings/prophecies a little later.

Here is a very good article on the prophesies of Mike Bickle. Keep in mind, a quick search of the internet will show you that the "Kansas City Prophets" have all been exposed as fraudulent. Some exposed for other horrible things (infidelity, homosexuality, etc.) A great article on IHOP was written by John Park of the Christian Apologetics and Research Ministry...

You mentioned all of the Apostles called out false teachers and false prophets. So who do you consider true teachers and prophets living today?
