PRAY|THE|REVOLUTION

I love this point of view by Rick Joyner (I'll paste it below in a moment).  It's strangely interesting that there is a large segment of the church that is rising up against various moves of God (Like Todd Bentley in Lakeland, Toronto, etc.) that include angelic encounters, manifestations, etc.  It's sad, really.  I agree with Rick that a key reason so many are resistant to such things is that they simply haven't had that experience themselves.  It can ...

I was in the service in Baton Rouge when Jimmy Swaggart confessed in 1988.  Ted Haggard has preached in my church and I was heartbroken when I heard of his failure.  My wife and I were prayed for by Todd Bentley just a few weeks before news of his current struggles.  I've witnessed true men of God go through massive attack from their own camp, and I've seen some of them fail.  It's so tragic, and we as a body must ...

Most of you know how my heart aches for revival, and specifically revival in Colorado Springs.  I mentioned to Dutch Sheets once several years ago something that I had noticed (quite easily).  The 'river' type of prophetic ministry that was found in other places around the nation was strangely not to be found in Colorado Springs.  I found it strange that, even though Colorado Springs had a reputation of being an epicenter of Christian ministry, the fire of revival and the flow ...

I, as many of you, am saddened by the news of Todd's marriage situation.  I remember when I was at Jimmy Swaggart Bible College in 1987 an overwhelming vision I had.  It wasn't only a vision, but a suffocating experience. I saw what looked like a massive hurricane, as if you were looking down on it from space.  It was a swirl of millions of demons who were all assigned to one man- Jimmy Swaggart. Brother Swaggart, at the ... Read More

Check out this ElijahList article.  As you know, I crave and radically affirm an experiential, encounter driven life.  God is real, not just really interesting!  We are spirit and are called to live and walk according to the rules of that dimension.  We aren't simply fleshly people trying to tap into the supernatural, we are both spirit and flesh.  We can live in the invisible, spirit realm just as we live in the visible, natural realm.  Here's the ...

I've been watching the California news with more interest lately.  It's been prophesied that California is beyond repentance because of the iniquity and unrepentant heart of the state. It's beyond stunning that people are running so far and fast from truth and into the death grip of secular humanism. Here's a word by Bob Jones concerning the state: Bob Jones Prophecies: On Saturday, May 24th, 2008, Bob Jones released a prophecy about California , saying that ... Read More

We know that God moves when people move.  We draw near to him and he draws near to us.  We seek, we find.  Etcetera.  The problem is that God will hold back his glory for quite some time for before the revival comes.  Why?  Many reasons, I'm sure, but one of them has to be a very important test.  Are we seeking God for our own benefit or for his?  If we contend and press and wait, as they ...

I'm experiencing quite a sharp hunger pang tonight.  Everybody's in bed, it's after midnight and I'm alone on the couch- and desperately unsatisfied.  I'm hungry. I'm going back through my memory of the various moments of my life where I encountered God in an overwhelming way.  Trying to explain it would be like trying to explain color to someone who is blind.  Suffice it to say, God surprised me with a revelation of supernatural life, and I simply cannot ...

Yes!  This is the message!  A massive reformation is coming to the church- and we must prepare.  It won't be easy, but it will rock this nation and the planet as we embrace a powerful restructuring.  What God is planning can only be contained in the proper wineskins.  So, hang on and let's get ready!

I love receiving emails from this guy.  There are just a few people in the world (it seems!) that seem to be wired closely to the way I am.  I often receive emails like this one that just cause me to come alive.  Be sure to check out the Manitou Springs city vision at www.praytherevolution.com/spim.htm.  God is getting people ready to do the humanly impossible! Here's the email- check it out (three parts in total): ... Read More

20 Elements of Revival- I just finished your book, 20 Elements of Revival. Wow! This is it. If the Church/House of Prayer at large could get this into their hands and read it before they opened the doors we could actually change the world! I've been talking to our leadership team- this book is #1 for all of our Core Leadership. It should be in the hands of every leader in the Body. - ... Read More

Check out our brand new ministry video. It's a 4 minute passionate call for dead bones to rise up and burn with the fire of God.  It's featured right on the main ministry site at www.praytherevolution.com as well as on our blog at www.revolutionexperience.com. I will be sending this out as a part of my ministry info pack to churches and ministries around the nation. I would be honored if you could help in the process.  My heart burns with the mandate to serve ... Read More

NOTE: This particular night at IHOPE-Detroit, there were three people who reportedly went to heaven.  This is one of the testimonies. Heaven...an experience I thought was brought with death. Sure I've heard of people who have been to Heaven and back. There are movies, documentaries, books; like A Divine Revelation of Heaven. However, I never thought I'd be one of the people to go there myself, but I did! I have been ... Read More

Amy and are going through quite a season.  We are challenged, stretched and expectant as we are watching God reorder our lives in a variety of significant ways.  Our current ministry is developing and changing and we are excited about what's coming next.  Keep us in prayer as our financial need is suddenly increasing. If you could become a monthly partner or give a special gift, it would mean so much to us.  You can do so at www.praytherevolution.com/donate.htm. I'll ... Read More

Achille’s Heel: A vulnerability in an otherwise strong situation In this nation which is the feeder of the Western culture around the world, there is much that is excellent.  However, no matter how spiritually powerful a nation is, an Achille’s Heel can result in its destruction. My feeling is that a very serious vulnerability in the church of America is that of intellectualism. I’ll intentionally wear my emotions on my sleeve here for a moment.  As I travel and speak on living a revelation driven ... Read More

Here’s a post on little more than my current feelings about life, ministry and everything else. Man, we have been through some crazy tough times lately, and to top it off, Jet’s been in the ER twice in the last few days. I think it’s in the raw times that we find ourselves a little more vulnerable and free to vent.  Ya know? Honestly, I’m fed up with the continual loss in our family.  Five babies gone to Heaven.  My wife and kids are strong, ... Read More

There are countless videos now online at www.worldrevivalchurch.com of the massive moves of God here in Kansas City. We must not simply stand and wait– WE MUST CONTEND!  Night and day crying out, surrendering, interceding, declaring the will of God, prophesying to the atmosphere and asking God to come as he is and to do what he wants!  Also, here’s a podcast on my trip to Idaho:  [audio:http://cinch.blogtalkradio.com/praytherevolution/142270.mp3]   Tags: world+revival+church, ihop, International+House+of+Prayer, revival, steve+gray, intercession, J.D.+King Read More

Revival Sparked in Kansas City Church Since May 2 hundreds of men, women and children have been experiencing an unusual outpouring of the Holy Spirit at a church in Kansas City, Mo.   [07.22.08] Crowds of people run to the altar, a preteen ushers in the presence of God, signs and wonders abound-all marks, observers say, of a revival that has shaken a Kansas City, Mo., church to its core.   Since May 2 hundreds have gathered at World Revival Center in the ...

First, a quick commercial for my book, 20 Elements of Revival: I’ve been reading your book 20 Elements of Revival. This is what I’ve been crying out for,  for years! You put it all together in a way that makes sense. (I've practically underlined almost everything..the pages are yellow). This must happen in Detroit....– Luann Zettle (order online at www.praytherevolution.com) Now, from beautiful Idaho: You may remember Kari Browning from the reports of dramatic signs and wonders such as gem stones falling from heaven ...

Our job every morning?  We wake up, brush our teeth, eat our Wheaties and CATCH ON FIRE!  It’s all about revival! There is quite a diversity when it comes to foundational focuses of churches and ministries.  One could easily find a church to attend on a Sunday morning that focuses on teaching as a primary ministry.  It would be just as easy to discover a local church that excels at worship and another with small groups at the core of their experience. The list ... Read More

I’m thrilled to invite you to participate in a pioneer project here at IHOP– Prophetic Online Evangelism.  The strategy is to prayerfully speak into someone’s life via dream interpretation. This project is brand new, and is in the very early development stages now– it actually went live just a few days ago.  We need YOU to help create synergy, community and critical mass! Would you visit www.dreaminterpreters.net and join in with us?Then, invite your friends and family who are spiritually interested, but maybe not in ... Read More

Powerful (and true) quote by A.W. Tozer: Wasting our Lives Actually, I do find Christians these days who seem to have largely wasted their lives.  They were converted to Christ but they have never sought to go on to an increasing knowledge of God.  There is untold loss and failure because they have accepted the whole level of things around them as being normal and desirable.

Another great article.  I love this particular quote: A concern I have is this-if you refuse to seek God in the way He presents Himself to you, and only choose to seek Him in the way that makes you comfortable, you place yourself in a danger of not growing in grace and discernment. Here’s the article in full: Friday, July 4, 2008 Dear Friends, Intercessors and Zion Aligned: We were so honored in Denton on Thursday night when approximately 10,000 hungry individuals gathered for a ...

Hi revivalists!  I received this in my inbox and thought those in the Colorado Springs area might be interested. I was blessed to talk with someone on the phone the other day who moved to Colorado Springs because of the coming revival to that region!    God is doing much to prepare us for a massive outpouring of the Holy Spirit in Colorado Springs, Manitou Springs and beyond!   Check it out:   GREAT AWAKENING TOUR-DENVER, COLORADO August 5-8 2008 @ 7 PM NightlySoul-Winning: Monday-Saturday @ 9 amSpeaker: ...

Ok, ready for more FIRE!? I'm still burning from what God did in Michigan a couple of weeks ago! I'll be returning to minister at IHOPE-Detroit and also at Christ Community Church in Detroit from September 3rd-8th.  I'll have the specifics soon.

Stay tuned to my website and blog for more info.  And, I've updated my podcast feed.  I've been posting at least daily. Website: www.praytherevolution.com Blog: ... Read More

I’m borrowing this from my buddy Chris Ferguson’s blog (soulpants.wordpress.com). This is an EXCELLENT response to a question about Todd Bentley. Remember, Todd Bentley hasn’t violated any absolutes of scripture.  He is a Christian.  Certainly many may hold to differing theological viewpoints in the realm of the ‘non-absolutes’.  He is a brother and God loves him very much: The Heresey Hunters, the skeptics, and the cynics have all been abuzz commenting and opinionating on Todd Bentley and the Lakeland revival. Bill Johnson gave an excellent ...

This account happened two days ago, and the girl who had the encounter is still tremoring under the glory of the Lord.  This occurred at an EGS service at IHOP-Detroit: 6/23/08 Monday night I was praying over Lisa (a woman who asked for prayer) when suddenly God told me to go to the other side of the room and pray for Brad.  I didn’t see why it made a difference, but I felt God clearly speak to me to pray there.  He said, “I have ...
