I’m very pleased that Mike Bickle didn’t have the popularity and platform he had. I’m so happy people have made famous people out of me, not megachurch megapast. I am very pleased that the Lord did not allow me to stand up in any kind of ministry. If he had, I think I would have stopped being a man after his own mind. In fact, years ago, the Lord told me that.
Often we don’t know what we mostly want. He withholds some things from us for his love and protection. We are not prepared for many. As a young pastor, when I prayed and asked God for such things, he enlightened my understanding. The popularity of the province is addictive to many. There are lessons to learn from the currently published villains and scandals!

Bickle is trying to maintain the “prophetic history” of his ministry. If this is true, as reported, what is in a sad state: Even after these allegations of sexual immorality and abuse, even after incorrectly misrepresenting God’s Word, this person wants to protect the prophetic history of ministry. what? This is the terrible depth of someone who is addicted to Jesus, as many have thought, in “ministry.” This is an expression and example of what exists on a much wider scale in both large and small works, ministries and churches. The names of the games seem to be the protection of our own projects, not to mention the cash stash, but the popularity and status that comes from them.
Time to clean the temple
These things must be exposed so that God’s temple is purified. why? Therefore, when judgment hits the world, we are separate and his anger does not affect us like that. Instead, we show His glory so that all men can see. There is a massive harvest from this future judgment, but now it is. But before that, there are even more casualties (many judgements).
The judgment that came to Anania and Sapphira (Acts 5:1-11) to lie to the Holy Spirit is a broad question today. Sadly, many preachers lie just like they do. “Well, why aren’t they judged the same?” some may ask. Two simple reasons:

1. God’s mercy and strengths. If such a judgment were to appear now, many would be dying even in our church. Today, there are so many sins in the church that if God’s judgment is released, there may not be enough cemeteries to bury the dead.
2. Today, the church has little glory. Judgment is proportional to the glory revealed. At the beginning of the church era, early glory was pure and heavy. Sin couldn’t stand there. That’s why Anania and Sapphira passed away. This horrifying judgment further increased the fear of the Lord and His power and glory (read Acts 5).
This concept sheds a different light on the incident of an altercation. It should awaken us all to justice, especially popular celebrity preachers and those who have a big platform that has made ministry their idols. This recent scandal can also be seen as an act of mercy, not just for the human soul, but also as an act of mercy, so that the fear of the Lord can enhance the body of Christ and his power and glory. {eoa}
