PRAY|THE|REVOLUTION

I just returned from Detroit where I had the opportunity to meet with the leadership teams at the International House of Prayer East Detroit and Christ Community Church.  I enjoyed the coaching sessions where I taught on Six Enemies of Fulfilled Destiny at both ministries.  Discovering freedom from some common threats to advancing in our ministries is quite a process.  My heart is to see leaders alive, free and invigorated as they run their race with passion. I would love ... Read More

I was in Detroit over the last several days ministering on fire, revival and strategic advance.  The two ministries where I was teaching were burning with the hunger of God as they saw in the spirit and got excited about the coming revival in Detroit.  We must be very strategic and understand that this will be a costly, massive and lengthy process.  Revival on a city level is coming!  Read this article.  It’s EXCELLENT. Reconstruction of the Church part four ... Read More

First let me make something clear.  I have NOT read this book.  However, I wanted to use it as an opportunity to open a discussion on a very important topic. Here's a quote about the book Reimagining Church by Frank Viola: Viola believes that to bring the church back on track, both clergy and denominations must be completely abolished. Churches should not have buildings nor should they worry about doctrinal statements. Such radical ideas will best ... Read More

You have NO IDEA what this report from Dutch Sheets and Freedom Church does for me.  A reformation is coming to the American church structure!  I have had a cry deep in my spirit for several years now for there to be an intentional, unified move to a prayer-driven church in the nation.  I have vocally wondered what would happen if every church in the nation canceled every program, even on Sundays, for several months, and called every person ...

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

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

I am burning.  I’ve been in Detroit since Friday, and the Holy Spirit is burning extremely hot at IHOPE-Detroit.  If you know people in Detroit, SEND THEM THIS MESSAGE!  They have to be at tomorrow’s service! Tonight was indescribable, as was last night.  One girl was crying out, groaning and trembling.  She kept saying that she was physically buring, like she had a fever.  The fire of God was literally consuming her! She mentioned being taken to the Throne Room… and as we experienced ... Read More

After some thoughts, I’ll post a CRITICAL email I received from Dutch Sheets Ministries. Do you live in or near Colorado Springs?  I can’t see how any believer would have the choice NOT to connect with Freedom Church! You may remember a recent post I had inquiring about revival and the house of prayer movement in Colorado Springs.  This is a significant answer! It’s absolutely CRITICAL that the city church of Colorado Springs and those of our nation BACKTRACKS and starts over at square one.  We see ... Read More

I’m excited about many things right now.  The graduation for the current Intro class is tomorrow, the new class starts a week from Friday, we finally, after a year, have our furniture in our house, and I’m leaving for Detroit tomorrow! Whew!  I’ll be speaking 7 times at a house of prayer there on prophecy and the fire of God. As I was going over one of my sermons, I felt impressed to post a portion of the introductory chapter of my book Revelation ... Read More

Colorado Springs, Manitou Springs and the Pikes Peak region simply must discover how to move from operating from a 'local church' perspective to a 'city church' perspective.  The greatest rallying point for those hungry for God in a city is prayer.  The house of prayer in this city will do much to more quickly resolve the issues that hinder revival.   There is a formula for city-wide revival, and it starts and continues with fervant, corporate prayer.  At Revolution House of Prayer I know ...

Visiting Revolution House of Prayer and the Colorado Springs area has confirmed something for me: I’m still BURNING in my bones for the Pikes Peak region. I am blessed beyond measure to have the opportunity to serve and learn at the International House of Prayer in Kansas City where Amy, the kids and I are based out of.  I am eager to watch the next several years unfold as God connects the dots of ministry at IHOP, RHOP and other ministries in the ...

One more quote that is CRITICAL for us to look at.  Biblically, we don’t see local churches (though, I think the local church can do much good).  We see the city church.  My newly published book 20 Elements of Revival addresses this issue.  The city church must find itself!  Competition between pastors must cease and churches must gain their identity not from their individual distinction on their own block but from their vision for their city.  The city churches of our nation ...

It took less than 5 minutes to receive a reply to last night’s eblast… so, the schedule has been updated! I’ll be ministering at Restoration Center in Pueblo, Colorado THIS SUNDAY, June 8th. (Sunday, June 15th is STILL OPEN… contact us asap if you’d like to schedule us to minister!) If you are CRAVING REVIVAL join with us Sunday as we press and contend with firey desperation! Here’s the address: 1400 Santa Fe Dr, Pueblo, CO 81006 ALSO– I’ll be in Detroit from June 20-26 ministering ... Read More

You can listen to a short mobile podcast on this topic here:[audio:http://cinch.blogtalkradio.com/praytherevolution/122567.mp3] We’re going to look at an interesting verse in a moment regarding ministry and money.  It’s important that we have a clear understanding on what our individual responsibilities are in regard to giving and receiving money. Of course, we are all to tithe.  That goes without saying.  That money is designated for the use of our local churches, the storehouses.  That money cannot be used for other ministry purposes.  So, if that ...
