SIXTEEN YEARS LATER: JANUARY 1999 AND MAY 1999 A. On Sunday, January 24, 1999, a prophetic person gave me Hag. 1:2. It did not seem right to me. That Wednesday (Jan. 27) in Colorado Springs, Kingsley Fletcher prophesied Hag. 1:2 to me. This people says, “The time has not come… that the LORD’s house should be built.” ~ (Hag. 1:2) B. I asked for a 3-fold confirmation: To provide a building without my telling anyone, to send a senior pastor to replace me (with 100% unity among our leaders), and to tell Noel Alexander in a supernatural way that it was time for me to start the house of prayer. C. On February 20, 1999, Noel told me that after preaching in Sunderland, England, a man he did not know told him to tell Mike Bickle it was time to start the 24-hour house of prayer. The next day after preaching in Peterborough (about 200 miles away), another man he did not know prophesied that he was to tell Mike Bickle to start the house of prayer. D. I made a 3-fold agreement with the Lord that He has honored since May 7, 1999. I will not travel to recruit leaders, raise money, or be responsible for creative ideas in leading. I committed to work long hours, say unpopular things, and not quit under the pressure of growth or of criticism.
