Keeping Our Eyes on Jesus | Dr. Michael Brown

- At the beginning of the service, IHOPKC leadership gave an updated statement concerning the allegations against Mike Bickle.
Then Dr. Michael Brown urges believers to avoid speculation and worship Jesus as IHOPKC leaders announce an independent, third-party investigation into the allegations against Mike Bickle. "When you're in the house of prayer and worship, you're not worshiping Mike Bickle, or Mike Brown, or anybody else; you're worshiping Jesus," Dr. Brown says. "And unless He's no longer worthy of worship, you need to keep worshiping."

#IHOPKC #FORERUNNERCHURCH
Thank you Stuart Greaves and the staff and leadership. For the way you were walking through this. I'm trusting your leadership because I know your trust in Jesus leadership in this. I love how you said you were not succumbing to any of the pressure or ultimatums but that you are walking in the fear of the Lord through this. We love you and we love MB and his family. And nothing can take away from the teachings that have impacted my life so powerfully all these years and the model of leadership at IHOP that I have seen in my walk with the Lord. God bless you all and we are in grief and praying and believing God's wisdom in all of this
Ditto
The way you all are walking through this does my heart good. You are being such an example of Christlikeness. I love IHOP and I’m standing with God’s purposes for his people. He will be glorified! ❤✝️🌻

🤢🤮trailer trash ministry
This is Great! IHOP hired secular law office to settle dispute between 'Christians'. Hallelujah! I am sure that these layers will have contract extended to Judgement Day. Hallelujah!
Thank you Mike Bickle and IHOPKC for blessing me with the desire to love Jesus deeply. N now teaching me to respond in Christ like manner during this hurting time. BEHOLD THE LAMB!! ❤
The Lord will sort it all out. Praying with IHOP thru these waters. Ihop u have been a tremendous blessing over many years!
My faith is never shaken by any minister's scandals, I was a very big supporter of Jimmy Swaggart back in the 80s when he failed not once but twice, my faith was still strong, and while I still listened to his teachings, I do not worship Swaggart. I do not follow ministries or ministers, The Holy Spirit guides me. The most important advice that I have for everyone reading this is that no matter how the outcome Of Mike Bickle or anyone in leadership who is involved in a scandal. do not let it destroy your faith in God or fellowship with others, they are only humans who also have flaws, no one is perfect and everyone can be restored or forgiven after they repent. Shalom
Acts 3:19-21: "Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord, and that he may send the Messiah, who has been appointed for you-even Jesus. Heaven must receive him until the time comes for God to restore everything, as he promised long ago through his holy prophets."1
Joel 2:12-13: "Yet even now,” declares the LORD, “return to Me with all your heart, with fasting, weeping, and mourning.” So rend your hearts and not your garments, and return to the LORD your God. For He is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger, abounding in loving devotion. And He relents from sending disaster."2
Dear IHOPKC Community, I am amazed that IHOPKC touches me again by joyfully worshiping God in your greatest challenge! I felt very connected for many years and visited IHOPKC twice for several weeks but lost the connection for certain reasons. Now I feel solidarity with you and wish you more divine breakthroughs and victory in all areas!
YESHUA SHALOM SHALOM SHALOM. JOHN 17 and 2 CORINTHIANS 5
Mike Bickle could make this real easy for all by telling the truth…..no outright denial is quite telling….
King David sinned and what did God do. Let mercy triumph over judgement. He who is without sin cast the first stone. Our God doesn't treat us as our sins deserve. That's what the bible says.
In a war if a fellow soldier of the cross falls down we help him get up. I have been so blessed by ihops teaching and worship.I am deeply grateful.🙏🕊️🇮🇱
This is the first service of IHOP I've ever watched. And I'm so grieved for y'all because we're part of the Body of Christ. I am praying for God to be glorified in this situation.
As a side note, it is a lovely thing, the way I see you reacting. Father, bless & keep Your people here, shine Your face upon them & be gracious to them. Turn Your loving gaze upon them and bring them Shalom. Maranatha!
For what it's worth, my financial and prayer support remains for IHOPKC. Love you all
Mine too! ❤
100% agreed
Just visited first service 8:45 am
I couldn’t hold my tears because of the presence of God there. Jesus is enough, keep seeking, you are a blessing to us. ( from
Oklahoma) praying for the church! We love you
Thanks, thinking about Jesus, need to hear his voice, don't know where to even begin...
@@cbspring8911 Amen! Sometimes we just need to surrender and humble ourselves before Jesus! Best weapon against the enemy of our soul is humbling ourselves before the Lord. Jesus is faithful, so be faithful to him too. Let’s trust and believe in his promises, Jesus is for us not against us.
But the Lord is faithful, and He will strengthen you [setting you on a firm foundation] and will protect and guard you from the evil one.”
2 Thessalonians 3:3 AMP
Be blessed today IHOP. You are loved and we won’t forget how you taught us to Pray!! And I am! ❤️
Love my brothers and sisters in Christ at IHOPKC. I’ve never been there but used to serve at a prayer house in Greenville, NC that was of the same heart. This message was on point, gracious and glorifying to Jesus. We can’t exalt man ever. You all are following Jesus. This is Jesus movement in KC and He WILL sustain it. Keep worshipping and praying and keeping your eyes and hearts turned to Jesus. You are covered as a community by so many who love you. Reject any shame from the enemy. Continue to walk in purity and seek truth. praying 🤍
Keep your eyes on Jesus everywhere. The love of Psalms 23 is forever! Amen
God is with you Mike
God is with you IHOP
"The only one that will be left with a black eye is the devil!"
Yeah 😂
& a heel size dant in the top of his head!
Great words of wisdom and encouragement. Prayers & blessings from Germany to you IHOPKC Family!!!!
Praying with you and for you ihopkc!❤
I’m so sorry for what you all are going through. May the peace of God minister to each of you. May the blessings of our Father be with you during this grievous time and throughout this entire season. Many saints are praying for you all, you who call ‘IHOPKC’ home. Sending God’s deep love & concern from Portland, Oregon.
I think it would be sound wisdom to reflect on our own lives (the IHOPKC family online) and go into a period of repentance and healing, instead of accusation and gossip. I couldnt think of a more appropriate response in this time and a better way to respond to the Lord and give the devil a black eye in the process.
Who knows, maybe this is a stepping stone into what the Lord wants to do in the coming time ahead.
I love, love, love your heart Stuart. What you said before the prepared statement. And Dr. Brown
Standing against devil and on the side of Truth! Always pray for truth to come to light no matter how painful. Either way it will be painful.
IHOP you are handling this as best you can, I believe you are doing great. I am praying for you all.
Great message from Dr Brown! Keep the fire going intercessors!
Thanks for presenting Grace and Truth. May God honor your hearts and get you through this difficult time
Thank you for this Word of Truth and to Yeshua be the glory!
Excellant message. Thank you Lord for holding this family together..
Blessings upon you
Lord, thank you for your grace, mercy and restoration. All things are possible with God!
Such an encouraging message . Also this is beautiful example of godly ministries handling troubling issues . May truth and healing prevail!
This sermon hit the holy, sweet spot. Praise God!
My heart is blessed in the midst of the fire to see this. If ever there were an example of a huge issue being walked out in the spirit of Jesus' comments on relational conflict in Matthew 18, I think I'm seeing it happen right here.
I weep simultaneously for joy at the beauty of it, and in grief over its rarity.
The thrust of Jesus' teaching was restoration, not fragmentation; and that's the heart I see on exhibit here.
I pray that this will be walked out in such purity and righteousness that, in the end, all involved will be made whole in beautifully restored fellowship in Christ Jesus; that the outworking of this painful, complex process will redound to His great glory, and that it will become such a wellspring of hope that many deeply wounded hearts will find courage to -- at long last -- trade their secret horrors for full restoration in Christ Jesus.
May His Name be exalted.
Leadership team I commend you so good! Dr Brown also so good
This message from Michael Brown was such a blessing to hear. So much truth!!! Love this community and all you’re doing for Jesus! Praying for you all🙏
Col 1:17 God will hold us together through this process. We've been connected with you for so many years & we love you & the Bickles dearly.
Praying when listening to this a holy fear came over myself nothing is hidden
Praying for all the broken hearts. 🙏
Thank you IHOPKC for bringing Dr Brown...it was really encouraging....I am from India and Mike and the IHOPKC ministry has impacted me deeply...we are all praying for you...God bless
We love you IHOPKC!
Don’t stop IHOPKC! It was never about men and what we can do. It’s always been about Jesus and it’s all about Him and it will always be.
Thank-you for the heart stance of the leaders at IHOP-KC. Praying for all.
Very refreshing to see the pews full and worshipping our King of kings the God of Abraham!
Psalm 121
King James Version
121 I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help.
2 My help cometh from the Lord, which made heaven and earth.
3 He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber.
4 Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep.
5 The Lord is thy keeper: the Lord is thy shade upon thy right hand.
6 The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night.
7 The Lord shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul.
8 The Lord shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore.
So wise so gracious so bold lord bless ihop n all members
Praying for you IHOPKC as you have prayed for me many times over the years. Let us not become forgetful when our brethren go through
This is a horrible situation and I will continue to pray about it. But I want to let the leadership team know that I think they are doing a really good job and I want to thank them for taking the reins and doing what needs to be done. As a volunteer in a branch of this organization, you have my full support and I will continue to volunteer.
Praying for you IHOPKC family, Mike Bickel family, everyone hurting from this crisis. My heart and fervent prayers go out to you all
Thank you Jesus for this crew of beautiful lovers of Jesus. Thank you Brenton for your words and songs! Thank you Stuart for your wisdom.
Such a incredible & so needed message by Dr. Brown, thank you. Also the presence of the Lord over the worship & the entire leadership team. So very grateful for all of you. God is on His throne.
Thank you Dr Brown
I love You deeply too and continue to pray, Blessings from Germany Yours Karin (Simeon Company 2015) Thanks Dr. Brown for standing with IHOPKC.
Thank you Dr. Michael Brown you said so well your message as always. Love you!
Thanks!
He that answereth a matter before he heareth it, it is folly and shame unto him.
Let’s be wise.
Withhold ALL judgment until the third party has concluded their investigation. There is no way to know one way or another until their investigation is completed. I was called in as one of several witnesses in a similar Matthew 18 proceeding for a large church. A third party was brought in to investigate. It was the best thing that church could have done. ALL THINGS were brought into the light...
I want REFINERS FIRE! For me! Come Lord Jesus, visit us with Your refiners fire.
Message of TRUTH. We are all on God’s side. Unity around the will of God🙌🏼
The Holy Spirit really is obviously in your midst and by your side! The lord will keep you and lead you through all this. He sees your honest and true hearts to seek Him alone in this difficult time, and He is your council and gives you wisdom, comfort and strength 🙏! You do a great ministry in the loving and sensitive way you're handling these challenges.. with complete dependance on Him🙏. And
While you stay close to the Lord and together as team and (spiritual) family, you open the way for Him to do even greater things, and after all pain and suffering... He will restore and renew and bless, because he is faithful and this House belongs to Him🙏.
God's church desperately needs a worldwide revival, He will bring it through to His honor and glory.
Love you all and stay with you in prayer, with blessings from Germany🙏
Let us wait....
Thank you Dr. Brown. 👍
AMEN..this is God breathed❤
Keep going my dear brothers and sisters of the Lord...God is the same yesterday today and tomorrow...love you guys!!!!! ❤❤❤
Amen Dr Brown
Praying For MB, “He that hath clean hands shall wax stronger and stronger” may the LORD bless him and keep him in JESUS name. AMEN
Thank you Michael Brown for this message. I agree fully and my prayers are for everybody at IHOP, including everybody!!!! I am watching and praying from Germany as a German, that you may not stop interceding and worshipping. I have been blessed by this ministry for years. And now in my heart I am praying and hurting with you All. You are so vital for this special time in history. May God strengthen your spirit and remove all shocks and discouragement. Behind you stands the lion of Judah, Jesus has your back!!! ❤
We stand with you. Setting our eyes upon JESUS ❤
Amen! And thats what His Word says! Thank you Dr Brown … keep looking to the Word. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🎶🎶🎶📖📖📖🪽🪽🪽 our God makes beauty from ashes for ALL who look to Him!!!
Keep our focus on Jesus our Lord and Savior!!
Dr.Brown is Definitely a warrior in King Jesus Army on earth🌟🌟🌟💥🌟
Praying for IHOPKC! You have been a blessing to me.
Interesting…. I will hold judgement. Jesus have your way and reveal truth!
Wonderful message, Dr. Brown. Leadership team is doing an excellent job being open and transparent while honoring all. Well done!
“So far there is one allegation from 26 years ago that has some credibility. Other allegations have been more difficult to verify due to the fact they are either anonymous or represented by third parties. Some of the alleged events predate the founding of IHOPKC. Additionally, some of the women that were named in the allegations have publicly refuted that they were ever victims of abuse and even denounced the representatives of the alleged victim group for using their names without permission.”
@57andstillkicking That's literally a direct quote from the updated statement made on behalf of the IHOP leadership team. It's recorded in this video.
Wow what an eye opener had to listen to this several times. I too was a victim of sexual abuse as a child and our minister got kicked out for molesting little girls. But no one ever talked to me about any of it. That led to a whole bunch of sexual assaults.I am sure with what has come down with the Southern Baptist church church and with what happened with Hillsong that this is an epidemic and the bible says that judgement starts in the house of the Lord first. Yes let this be a start of him breaking up the fallow ground of our wicked roots of pride and self love instead of loving him with our whole heart. Amen Lord we have to get right with God before we can expect the world to change their story. Come Holy Spirit. Praise God that you had the right leadership to not let this swept under the rug like other church ministers who did the pride thing of denial. Like what we see on the news every day. I love the spirit of how you addressed this whole issue and I think with him leading a fasting and prayer deal for Israel made the Devil mad as hell. But its also good to not make the victims
This shows God's grace for the victims which I am sure are many are all over the world.
Praying for the victims 😢
God is revealing the wolfs among the sheep.
“So far there is one allegation from 26 years ago that has some credibility.

Additionally, some of the women that were named in the allegations have publicly refuted that they were ever victims of abuse and even denounced the representatives of the alleged victim group for using their names without permission.” Don't be quick to throw stones yet.
@@crownofglory1264The exact portion I took notice of.....
And it certainly caused me to question the veracity....
BUT....the truth WILL come out if investigated properly....
The Lord will make sure of it.
Excellent statement from the team and wisdom and Godly perspective right to the end from Dr Brown. Many thanks. Continuing prayer and love ♥️🙏♥️🏴
Thank you Dr. Michael Brown. Excellent wisdom from the Lord through you.
So shall they fear the Name of the Lord from the west,
And His glory from the rising of the sun;
When the enemy comes in like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord lifts up a standard against him.
The Redeemer will come to Zion,
And to those who turn from transgression in Jacob,
Says the Lord.
As for Me says the Lord, this is My covenant with them. My Spirit is upon you, and My words which I have put in you, shall not depart from your mouth, nor from the mouth of your descendants, nor from your descendants' descendants, says the Lord, from this time and forevermore.
Isaiah 59:19-21
May His love cover all...
Just walk in love toward IHOP staff and attendees, and Michael Bickle.
Yes! Whether Mike Bickle or the accusing ex personnel is right or wrong, the Lord loves each one and we are called to love one another.
Starting by requiring censorship is a great way to start by the Dr.
Thank you Lord for this reminder from Dr Brown to keep our eyes and hopes on Jesus, and to search our own hearts.
May your church, with one accord, be praying and humbling ourselves and seeking your face in the way that you would have us do. In Jesus' name, amen.
"Search me, O God, and know my heart!
Try me and know my thoughts!
And see if there be any grievous way in me,
and lead me in the way everlasting!" - Psalm 139:23-24
Stand then ❤️
Is there any mention of accountability? The real truth?
Great message!
WHAT AN AMATEUR MOVE BRINGING IN MICHAEL BROWN TO ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM! HE DID NOT EVEN ADDRESS THE SOBERING FAULT OF LEADERSHIP OR 1 CORINTHIANS 6. HE SISSIFIED THE PROCESS!
Great, great point that it is God and His power. The people He uses are like electric wires through whom the electricity flows.
All of these comments are so kind and supportive. So happy to see Dr. Brown there as well ❤.
Love you all, praying for you all!!!!
You will always be my family.
So proud how you all are walking this out.
I love how ihop is handling this. I pray the blood of Jesus over each and everyone of these people ❤️🩹🙏🏽
What's with those people? It just comes up like that during intense time & not ever mentioned while it's not.
Awesome message! Thanks!
Thank you for this, Dr. Brown. Praying for everyone. 🙏🏻🙌🏻❤️
Matthew 18:15-17
"If another believer sins against you, go privately and point out the offense. If the other person listens and confesses it, you have won that person back. [16] But if you are unsuccessful, take one or two others with you and go back again, so that everything you say may be confirmed by two or three witnesses. [17] If the person still refuses to listen, take your case to the church. Then if he or she won't accept the church's decision, treat that person as a pagan or a corrupt tax collector.
Thank you for the Word.
It seems that Mike has stepped down from all forms of leadership and ministry, yet still calling all the shots in the background. I pray God will expose all of the truth and let no darkness remain hidden in Jesus's name.
Whether Mike comes out innocent or guilty, the Church at large and ministries have had unholy, strange, and confusing mixture that failed to create healthy and safe communities for God's people to fully thrive and grow. I know God has worked many good things despite people's weaknesses and sin, but now more than ever, Jesus wants to purify the Church and bring forth a pure and spotless Bride. And purity means transparency and vulnerability with no secret things hidden in darkness to preserve a ministry or minimize damage to its reputation. Jesus deserves better than leaders being idolized and put on a pedestal. So I do wonder what Jesus would say to IHOP and its leadeship if He were to speak as He did to the Seven Churches in Revelation. I do pray for mercy, but true conviction involves exposure so may God bring it no matter how painful it is and what it costs.
Thank you --- yes. I sincerely wish that there was more wisdom and plain-speaking like this from the leadership.
What a word! Spoke to me profoundly in many aspects. Prayers for your church and for light and truth to prevail and afterwards divine healing and restoration for all involved. We grieve with you we’re all one body. It’s a broken word we live in.. IHOP as a family has been a blessing to many and will continue to do so as they stand firm in Christ. We faced a similar situation in one of our larger churches in the UK… it hurts but the gates of hell did not prevail! 🇬🇧🙏❤️
Didn't RZIM also hire a law firm when "investigating" accusations against Ravi Zacharias? The investigation consisted of asking him if he did it and he said no. The truth came out later. It may take a while but the truth will come out, there is no stopping it.
Amen
Excited to hear Michael Brown
And this Dr. Michael Brown is the doctor of what? Anybody knows?
Yes 😢😢😢
How may I get a transcript on Dr Brown’s message? One of the best dealing with this type of situation.
