Hi Gina,

Thanks so much for your reply — both heart-felt and thoughtful. I know that many, like the family of your friend, have been much more directly impacted than I have been. I’ve never been directly associated with IHOPKC but have had many friends there over the years.

As I mentioned in the article, all of these things are cause for tears and weeping and must be. I know they have been personally and for me and for many others.

The aim of the article was to consider God’s ways in working with human beings. He puts his grace in broken vessels. And when we sin, We do real harm to one another and to God’s glory.

However, when God’s Justice enters in a gross sin is dealt with (as in this case), there is a tendency to overcorrect, and lose the good things God intends for us to keep.

My hope is that those involved in the global prayer movement will be strengthened in their devotion to Jesus even in the midst of this massive “stumbling block” that has come. Our Lord is just and we can be assured that His Justice and mercy will have their perfect expression for all involved.

But at the end of the day, Jesus is still worthy of non stop worship and prayer. I want to see that increase in the earth.

May the love and mercy of the Lord be with you
