And I still love Misty Edwards EARLY music, nonetheless recent accusations if true would show I was wrong in holding her up as a model of discipleship. I have asked Jesus to forgive me if anyone wound up becoming a follower of IHOP because of me.

IM SORRY.

I am not in the loop of what's been happening. I know there has always been controversy surrounding IHOP. But what is the new development(s) that changed your mind?

S3xual abuse allegations

Hi Votie,

Bickle having sexual relations with young ladies in teens. It was supposed to have happened many years ago. He admitted he was guilty but that he didnt go "all the way". It was with several young women over a period of best I can tell 6 years. The word was it was before he founded IHOP but was still supposed to have been a Pastor/ Prophet.

Misty confessed to a staff member of IHOP she had an affair with an un named man followed by an affair after that with a former worship leader from the Vineyard, Kevin Prosh. The staff member supposedly reported it to the leadership group. That affair the best I can figure has been ongoing for 7 years and includes adultery, drug and alcohol use. She says she is being blackmailed so a lot is yet to come.

The worship leader was married to Mike Bickles sister Shelly for the first 2 years of the affair and then they divorced and best I can tell he and Misty are still together and this just came out a few weeks ago.

The leadership team has acted like its a big shock.....but how could they NOT HAVE KNOWN?

Misty was a friend way back when in Jerusalem, maybe around 2000.

She had a William Branham orientation and would talk about the supernatural stuff with pictures, something like that. I think they had a pic taken at the grave-site.
