Probe: Pastor Made Victim Recite Scripture After Sex

The Christian Post reports:

International House of Prayer Kansas City’s disgraced founder Mike Bickle used predatory tactics and spiritual manipulation to sexually abuse at least 17 females, including minors, according to the findings of an independent investigative report. One victim claims she was so gaslit by Bickle he made her read Psalm 51 after sexual encounters.

The 68-page report, Investigation of Mike Bickle and the International House of Prayer Kansas City, is the result of a comprehensive investigation conducted by independent sexual abuse investigation firm Firefly, and commissioned by Tikkun International, a Messianic Jewish umbrella organization, on Sept. 5, 2024.

“Bickle’s actions in having Deborah Perkins pray Psalm 51 … after sexual encounters was another layer of his manipulation. By invoking a prayer of repentance, he further distorted her understanding of the situation, making her feel complicit in the abuse,” investigators wrote.

Bickle first appeared on JMG in 2011 when he declared that “demons have attacked me physically at least ten times.” He also appeared here in 2016 when Ted Cruz was roasted for “proudly” accepting his presidential endorsement despite Bickle’s claim that God sent Hitler to kill Jews for not accepting Jesus.
