IHOP / KC, MO
I had just realized I'm technically in Missouri and not Kansas.
This is sorta spontaneous (though I've wanted to do this for a few years), but for a lot of different reasons I felt like I just needed to get in the car this week and be here at IHOP. No, not pancakes and coffee (though that sounds pretty good.) International House of Prayer. They've been praying 24 hours a day since 1999. Not much more needs to be said after such a ridiculously awesome statement like that.
They've been used to minister to me before in the past. I've appreciated their teachings a lot. And, I know I need to make sure I do some receiving while I can. It is still a little while off before I'll be back in Africa but I also know that time will fly by. I'm kind of feeling like a "conference junkie" right now. I know that Jesus is just as available in my bedroom as anywhere else, but, this is going to be a time in my life where I will grab onto the corporate gatherings of the body as much as possible. I've stood the past few years with many days and weeks where I was alone, so, I'm going to take advantage of this---because the next few years will have some wilderness times again.
If you haven't been to their site I encourage you to, www.ihop.org I know we hear a lot about "the church needs to change" but I get excited when I see that there are those who already HAVE changed the church, at least in part. We aren't there yet, but, we aren't where we were. In case you haven't heard, Jesus is King of this earth and He has set aside a few people for Himself. There are those who are not concerned with religion, doctrine differences, or self-image and fame. There are groups here and there who have contended for the breakthroughs we are walking in. It is a good time to be alive.
