The boys over at The Greycoats have been in contact with Ernie Gruen and have asked him some very important and precise questions that need to be dealt with.
If you’re an adherent to IHOP then you owe it to yourself to view these things.
I recommend their recent post which has the above mentioned interview.
This isn’t done with animosity but a real desire for truth to be told. It really is neccessary. Try your hardest to NOT react to this and spill forth emotional defenses of a beloved ministry out of a knee-jerk reaction. Try actually reading the Gruen report and Bickle’s renunciation of Cain that you will find hyperlinked in the interview.

At least it’s new to me. I just found it today. I clicked on an article from Ben Israel and it turned into the site that is now being maintained to preserve his life’s teachings and corrective words to much of charismatic christendom.
As most of you know, he’s my hero as far as men on earth are concerned. He was the guy that finally articulated with actual words what I had been feeling in my gut for years in my christian experience in the charismatic and prophetic (so-called) movements. I finally understood why I just couldn’t go along with so much stuff, even though my mind was often unfruitful as to why.
I highly commend his ministry. Look for his testimony for starters. The way that God apprehended the man is phenomenal.

I would have to say that this is an oft quoted verse that is used to sort of “pooh-pooh” those of us who believe God for the miraculous in a given situation and pray according to that belief. It is normally argued that those of us who are continuationists are “sign seekers”. (more…)
