Dude! What gives?
If you think that everything that Mike Bickel says and does is anointed of the Holy Ghost you are dooped.
I am sure good things happen there okay. Still, he is only a man. No better than you or I.
A phrase these folks like to use frequently is, “Judge not God’s anointed.” These teachers are not kings who deserve our devotion. They deserve the fires of hell just like you and me.
They preach that they are our covering...it is not anywhere in scripture.
They are always saying we are kings and priests...it is nowhere in scripture....the original says kingdom of priests.
Priests serve the King...of which there is only one!
Did you ever hear an apostle proclaim his kingship, or desire to be a king in THE KINGDOM? No.
Let it rest.
I don't think that, if it sounded like I conveyed that in my writing, it was not my intent.
I get the Priesthood teaching from Bickle but haven't ever heard the "we are kings" stuff. To be clear I haven't listened to IHOP or Bickle in a few years now, IF they are teaching what I think you are referring to about being kings that would be troubling. I would need to read or hear that from the source.
We are the royal priesthood of the High Eternal Priest Jesus. Maybe some are teaching more than I know about that but I am not aware nor do I follow such stuff.
As for IHOP I just see a bunch of very sincere believers who love to come before God and worship Him and intercede for their cities and the nation and Israel, and important issues like revival in our nation. Maybe there is more going than I know and as I say my knowledge of IHOP and Bickle is a few years old.
