John and Jed examine the shocking new Firefly report that brands Mike Bickle—a central figure in the International House of Prayer (IHOPKC)—a chronic sexual predator. They trace how unbiblical ideas of “holiness” and the so-called “Moses model” of leadership create fertile ground for abuse in Pentecostal and charismatic circles. Drawing connections from William Branham’s theology to the modern New Apostolic Reformation, they explain how these movements elevate leaders beyond accountability, distort the fruits of the Spirit, and silence whistleblowers under the threat of “touch not God’s anointed.” Together they discuss IHOP’s attempts to erase its past, the continuing danger of its theology, and the likelihood of a new “Joshua figure” rising to carry Bickle’s mantle. <br /><br />00:00 Introduction<br />02:00 Defining “Holiness” in Cultic Movements<br />07:00 Mike Bickle and the Firefly Report Findings<br />10:30 The Moses Model and False Authority<br />17:00 Jed’s Personal Experience with a False Prophet Father<br />23:00 Touch Not God’s Anointed: The Weaponization of Holiness<br />27:00 IHOPKC, Denver House, and Ongoing Abuse Patterns<br />33:00 Consequences of False Leadership Models<br />38:00 Reading from the Firefly Report<br />43:00 IHOP’s Attempt to Rebrand Without Repentance<br />49:00 Mantles, Succession, and the Ghost of Mike Bickle<br />56:00 From Bob Jones to Modern Prophets: The Mantle Tradition<br />1:01:00 Closing Thoughts: Why the Cycle Keeps Repeating<br /><br />______________________<br />Weaponized Religion: From Christian Identity to the NAR:<br />Paperback: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1735160962<br />Kindle: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DCGGZX3K<br />______________________<br />– Support the channel: https://www.patreon.com/branham<br />– Subscribe to the channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBSpezVG15TVG-lOYMRXuyQ<br />– Visit the website: https://william-branham.org<br />– Follow on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/WilliamBranhamOrg <br />– Follow on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@william.m.branham<br />– Follow on Twitter: https://twitter.com/wmbhr<br />– Buy the books: https://william-branham.org/site/books
