Facts about IHOP Isaiah 58:6&7– Is this not the fast that I have chosen: to loose the bonds of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, to let the oppressed go free, and that you break every yoke? Is it not to share your bread with the hungry, and that you bring to your house the poor who are cast out; when you see the naked, that you cover him, and not hide yourself from your own flesh? -Before IHOP was started one of the founders of IHOP felt the Lord asking Him, “where is a place that a young man can go in this city to be delivered?” He felt in his heart that the Lord wanted to make a place where the afflicted could go to find shelter and food and deliverance. My worship leader reminded me of this the other day and it has been stirring in my heart. We as the Church are called to the fast in Isaiah 58. To be those who are prepared at all times to be deliverers. That we be ready with the Word of the Lord on our tongues for the broken.

I’m here...again!!! I’m sitting near the back left of the prayer room, typing this letter to you. The singers on stage are singing, “Jesus Christ, You are the ruler over all. You are...Jesus Christ the Faithful Witness.” He is faithful. I remember realizing for the first time my calling to be here. I ended up blogging about it a day or two after I heard from Him about it. Up until that point I had wondered what was ahead. I didn’t know what was in the future for me and what I was to do with myself. But all of the sudden I was sitting in a room with others from here and I felt peace fill my heart and I knew that this was where He wanted me. So once again, here I am. I have had some really cool stuff happen since I’ve been back. I am back on Sada Rogers worship team. The Lord has really been drawing me into deep worship while I’m on stage. Really sitting before Him, resting and waiting upon His Spirit to move me. It’s been such a blessing to sing again on her team. Also, the house that I moved into, which is an all “night-watch” house(meaning everyone serves in the night-watch in the house) are all guys who are really running for the Lord. It’s been spurring me on to really get back into the groove of being in the house of prayer. It takes time adjusting to sitting in prayer for 6 hours every night...like a few months. So it is really good to have them beside me and encouraging me. My schedule is very busy, I work 5 days a week for 5 hours each day. So that on top of 6 hours of prayer makes for 5 very tiring days every week. But it is meeting my financial needs because of this. I haven’t been able to really dive into all of the things that I have wanted to do yet. Since being back I have felt a growing calling to be a core leader for Fire In The Night interns. It’s a sort of discipleship position here at the House of Prayer. And leadership here has shown interest in me doing that. Also, the inner city outreach is on Monday nights and I work that night so I’m hopeful to be a part of that once I’ve reached my financial goals.. So I’m asking that the Lord would open up the door of finances to me in additional financial support so that I could pour into additional ministry to Him and the lost and hurting. Both in IHOP and outside. Your prayers for this would be greatly appreciated. Bless you all! I hope you had a wonderful Easter!

Night Unto Night...Ministry Unto The Lord April 09-Page 2
John 1:9-13
The true light, which enlightens everyone, was coming into the world. He was in the world, and the world was made through him, yet the world did not know him. He came to his own, and his own people did not receive him.
We were made to know the God-man, Jesus Christ, fully. We (Adam) were walking with Him in the beginning. All in the garden and in perfect peace and unity with Him. In light of what I’m about to write it is coincidental to realize that we have no idea what it was like. The reality is that we really know very…very little about Him. And the raw truth is, we know Him so little that, not long ago, when we were born in this earth we hadn’t a fathom of an idea who He was. Maybe even to the point that we had no conscious idea that He existed(not that we wouldn’t figure it out, because of that God sized hole in us). But, we were born separate, distant, far off and it’s not even as if we could just decide to get to know him all of the sudden because he actually was hidden from us by the brokenness of our sinful nature. Only through the blood are we able to get to know who He is. But the other day, I have to admit that this offended me a little because…how could this be?! How could the light of men, the true light, which enlightens everyone be this separate from us…that we couldn’t even recognize Him? How is it possible that we, who were made to only be whole in knowing the Son, not even be able to know Him at all without Him revealing Himself. He is at His own disclosure and we are at His mercy. So we MUST pray for the spirit of wisdom and revelation to be able to know Him more. And we must pray for this for our loved ones who don't know him and those in our city, nation and world. And it is knowing Him that is our salvation. Do I seek Him so as to be able to find Him? Do I knock like the persistent widow? Do I even ask for this? James says that we receive not because we ask not. So daily we should ask Jesus to reveal more of Himself to us everyday and this would be my number one prayer for you. May the Father of lights bless you with the knowledge of His son, Jesus Christ! Bless you!!!!
