"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
International
Houses of Prayer are absolutely essential and
powerful to all that God wants to do throughout
the earth. This is one of the key things we must
pray for as intercessors. 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 personal enlargement of
your own relationship with God, and the enormous
encouragement this could be to the whole body
of Christ. It breaks the power of the enemy and
brings protection over cities as nothing else
does. These are days where we long for God's Kingdom
to rule and reign on earth unhindered. Please
pray that International Houses of Prayer are started
in God's way and for His glory in every major
city in every nation.
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.' (Rev. 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."
