"How lovely is your dwelling place, O Lord
Almighty! My soul yearns,
even faints, for the courts of the Lord; My heart
and my flesh
cry out for the living God . . . Blessed are those
who dwell
in your house; They are ever praising you."
Psalm 84
24-7 International Houses of Prayer are essential
and extremely powerful to all that God wants to
do in the nations. This is one of the key
things all Christians must pray for in the nations.
There is nothing that compares with the spiritual
atmosphere that is released by day and night intercession
and worship. Imagine being able to go to a place
at any given time where you can be with others
who are worshipping and praying to God. Think
about the growth in your own personal relationship
with God and the enormous encouragement this could
be to the whole body of Christ. Day and night
prayer breaks the power of the enemy and brings
protection over the city as nothing else does.
These are days when we long for the Kingdom of
God to reign on earth. Please pray that an
International House of Prayer is started in God's
way and for His glory in all the major cities
throughout the world.
The
Holy Spirit is orchestrating a world prayer moment
Mike
Bickle, the Director of the International House
of Prayer (IHOP) says the following:
"In this hour, the Holy Spirit is setting
watchmen on the wall (Isaiah
62:6) and releasing the Annas' to pray and
fast night and day in the temple (Luke
2:37-38). This watchmen calling of
Anna transcends gender and age. It includes both
men and women who are both old and young. The
International House of Pray mission's base is
deeply engaged in the Great Commission.
The journey of the International House of Prayer
begins with the understanding that God is sovereignly
raising up a worldwide prayer movement. The
prayer movement is a worship movement that is
also a prophetic movement. All three dimensions
are expressions of the Holy Spirit's one river.
Most believers are wooed by one of the three into
the one river of God releasing healing and evangelism
and building the Church.
This strategic plan of the Holy Spirit will reach
a crescendo before the Lord returns, as the bowls
of intercession will become full in heaven. '....
the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb,
each having a harp, and golden bowls full of incense,
which are the prayers of the saints.' (Revelation
5:8).
The worldwide prayer movement is many faceted
with many expressions of God's heart and personality.
If we celebrate the different models and expressions
of prayer, then we are able to learn from one
another."
