PRAY|THE|REVOLUTION

I believe the organic church movement, at least in part, has the potential of being quite dangerous.  It’s so clear in scripture that God calls certain men or woman to lead others in dynamic and strategic ways.  In fact, story after story from Genesis to Revelation highlight God’s chosen leaders who have unique giftings, important responsibilities and necessary anointings to fulfill specific missions. The recent ‘organic church’ movement is seemingly calling for the abandonment of ‘clergy’ and the advance of ... Read More

It’s critical that we pick a Holy Spirit driven President!  Listen to a quick podcast on the topic below: [audio:http://cinch.blogtalkradio.com/praytherevolution/175242.mp3] Technorati Tags: blog,podcast,president,election,barack obama,john mccain,prayer Read More

Tomorrow is election day, and we must pray and vote! I’ll make my point very clear once again and then share a prophetic word (another one- we should be hearing by now!) regarding the election. If we had to choose between an ungodly, unholy man or woman of God and a fresh faced, young, inexperienced prayer warrior who knows God, we MUST choose the one who knows God!  Yes, for president! Did you read my last post from ... Read More

Election day is almost here. I’ll just say it- I’m STUNNED.  I don’t know if I’ve ever been this disoriented and shocked by the strange embrace that some Christians are giving Barack Obama.  I don’t mean an embrace of love and respect (as that would be appropriate), I mean an embrace of approval as the leader of our nation.  I’ve been surfing the net as most of you have, and I’m stumbling on Christian after Christian who is supporting Barack ...

I’m in the lobby of the Empress Hotel in Chiang Mai, Thailand getting ready to fly to Bangkok.  I’m burning for a revelation of precise strategy for a move of God in the cities of the earth, in individuals and in churches.  It’s deeply critical that we discover God’s blueprint. “John, don’t waste time in prayer.” That’s what God surprised me with one day a few years ago.  It took me by surprise as I found it interesting that ...

I’m having a powerful time here… lots of amazing ministry.  I’m missing my family… Skype isn’t good enough! Here’s some pics from the conference.  Check out the one with Peter Xu and me.  He’s the pastor/mentor of the Heavenly Man. I’ll also include an image of one of the slides of the 68 nations of the 10/40 Window that we displayed here during our prayer sessions.  I’d encourage you to check out www.win1040.com and sign up to receive ...

I’ll paste the brand new press release for Revelation Driven Prayer from Revival Nation below.  They are kicking into a focused promotion of Revelation Driven Prayer right now… I’ll be interviewed (possibly via phone from here in Thailand) by KLOVE radio.  I’ll try to get you the specifics on that soon. I taught on Revelation Driven Prayer last night here in Chiang Mai and was overwhelmed by the way God penetrated hearts…  a lot of refreshing in some amazing ... Read More

What a trip I’m having!!  I went on an elephant ride into the jungle and hung out with tigers yesterday!  This is where Sylvester Stallone filmed Rambo 4.  As we were eating, there was a real live tiger walking around the room.  I don’t know how safe that is with a bunch of delicious meat on the table. Check out the photo of the shrimp burger from McDonalds… I passed on it. The conference today was absolutely amazing.  Lots ... Read More

Man, it’s so awesome here!  I’m in the hotel conference room Skyping folks, catching up on email and getting ready to head out to an evening market here in Chiang Mai.  It’s 1:24pm here… which means it’s 1:24am back home in K C.  I Skyped Amy just before she went to bed. The trip was amazing smooth and effortless.  No issues at all.  Thanks intercessors!  I flew way up into Canada (I saw white barrenness all around) and ... Read More

Well, I’m headed to the other side of the world tomorrow.  I’ll be on a total of four flights there and four flights back.  Here’s some info so you can cover me and my family in prayer. Thursday, October 23rd- flying from Kansas City to Minneapolis, Minneapolis to Tokyo and then Tokyo to Bangkok, Thailand.  I’ll be in the air for 21 hours.  (This is reason enough for lots of intercession!) I’ll sleep in ... Read More

Someone IM’ed me on Facebook last night to make a comment about Covens in the Church.  She found the book by doing a search online, downloaded it, read it, got messed up (her words, and in a tough but very healing way) and gave it to her pastor. When I wrote the book, I expected it to be somewhat of a shock to the system, and it was to be a call to strengthening the church army by being in ... Read More

This story is very intriguing to me.  Sony has made the decision to take a huge financial hit by delaying the release of a new video game so they have time to remove a piece of music.  Why is this?  Because the music is potentially offensive to Muslims.  Here’s a snip of the article: "One of the background music tracks that was licensed from a record label for use in the game contains two expressions that can ...

First, I’m leaving for Thailand on Thursday.  Will you pray for a safe and powerful trip?  I’ll be teaching 10/40 Window leaders on prophetic prayer, and need an infusion of Holy Spirit unction to do so well.  Also, keep my family lifted up.  I’ll be away for 10 days.  Thanks! I just read a stat from a friend’s blog that reveals 1000 people are leaving churches every day.  This is staggering. I’ve been discussing the issue of organic church, ... Read More
