Mike Bickle’s Sister Just Absolved and Prophetically Pardoned Him Using This Crazy Reason!
Lisa Stribling is the head co-pastor of Hope City Family Church in Kansas City, as well as the sister of disgraced IHOPKC founder Mike Bickle.
In 2023, an independent investigation tasked with investigating allegations of sexual impropriety against Bickle found that the charismatic leader sexually abused or harassed at least seventeen women, which made his ministry, school, and organization implode. While Bickle has only admitted to sexually inappropriate behaviors with two separate adults, two minors have alleged they were victims as well of sexual abuse, with Tammy Woods saying that Bickle molested and groomed her when she was 14 and another, Terry Hartley, when she was 15.
Bickle has been silent since the initial news broke, but during a sermon yesterday, his sister spoke up in his defense, with a few choice quotations, including very explicitly claiming divine authority and revelation for her proclamations:
“I believe strongly that the Lord has given me permission to say, and not only permission, he has sent me on a mission to give it. I want to say that very strongly. First and foremost, I want to bring clarity to the body of Christ. That is my goal today
…Again, I’m speaking on God’s behalf. I am not speaking on Mike Biggles’ behalf. I’m not speaking on behalf of IHOP. I’m not speaking on behalf of my family. I’m not speaking on behalf of Diane. I’m not speaking on behalf of anybody. I’m speaking on behalf of the Lord Jesus…He will be backing up my works. I’ll say that very strongly to everyone. He will be backing up what I’m saying here.”
Says Mike Bickle has paid his dues (without saying how) for things which she suggests didn’t even happen.
There is a pardon being offered right now to the global church concerning Mike. It’s being offered right now from heaven to the body of Christ as a whole regarding the name of Mike Bickle.
…Speaking directly to the issues that concern Mike Bickle for the impropriety that happened many years ago, yea, even before IHOP started, and to any story that happened many years ago that may or may not have happened, to the issues that happened and did not happen, Mike Bickle has served double what is required for him.”
Says it’s over and people need to leave it alone, especially claims that he groomed anyone:
It’s over. I say this very, very, strongly. It is over. I’m not asking anybody’s permission, I’m telling you from this moment on these stories are over. They’re over. The pardon has been issued by God himself to Mike and to the church/
I want to speak to the grooming narrative that has went on about Mike. I want to say this very loud, very clear: knock it off. Yeah knock it off. It is not God. It is not God.
Mike Bickle has had nearly a million people stand in front of him over 25 years. Patting someone on the head- this is ridiculous. Absolutely ridiculous. Knock it off.
Crucially, Stribling defends her brother and denies anything took place, all the while gladly admitting she hasn’t read any of the stories and evidence against him, including from two minors.
To the story that is going around in which they say took place many, many, many years ago. I have never read the story and I will never read the story or ask questions about the story. So I’m telling you I don’t have knowledge about the story and I don’t care. I’m going to speak to it anyway. It has been reported to me, however, that the story is exotic trash. That’s what it is.
This story, and stories like it should never be investigated by the church. I have had people ask me, ‘does it matter?’ Whether it’s true or not does not matter. That is a demand that secular society is placed on the church and the church is now answering secular society about the blood Jesus. Period.

Yet another narcissist false prophet/teacher using the Lord’s name in vain for her personal greedy financial gain. Pathetic.
Perverting the grace of God into a license to sin (Jude, 2 Peter 2). The Lord requires true repentance. No repentance, no pardon. And in the case of ministers, that repentance includes acceptance of disqualification for ministry.
