Great worship at The Burn Seattle last Sat!

I had a powerful time last Saturday night at The Burn Seattle, a nationwide movement focusing on worship and prayer.  It was held at Revelation Church in Lake Stevens, WA.  Amy Thompson led worship on keys and it was one of the most powerful worship session I have ever participated in.  The presence of God was really strong.

Right now they are holding The Burn Seattle once a month.  Check out their website to learn the time and location.

Wilderness Outcry, 6/14-18

There is a significant gathering this June, where thousands will come to one place, in Missouri, to worship and pray, day and night, to cry out to God for revival in America.  Read the info below, and check out the website.  See if you can be there in mid-June!

The Outcry Story

John the Baptist became a "voice crying out in the wilderness, preparing the way" for the Lord. It is significant that God required John’s generation to leave the comforts of home and meet Him in the wilderness. And I believe that again today, there is an invitation from God to unplug from our modern conveniences, humble ourselves and, with undistracted devotion, seek only Him. That is what Wilderness Outcry is all about.

This summer, June 14-18, 2010, thousands from around the nation will come together in night and day worship, fasting and prayer, and crying out to God. The way the Holy Spirit has sovereignly orchestrated this gathering with dreams, God-encounters and supernatural events has been amazing. I feel it may end up being the most significant gathering I have ever participated in. This is not a conference or one ministry’s event. It is a joint effort of several leaders asking believers to come together in unity and consecration before a Holy God. I believe it will be a time like that talked of in 2 Chronicles 7:14,

"if My people who are called by My name humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, will forgive their sin and will heal their land."

During this critical season we must erase our denominational lines and individualistic thinking, and come together to call on God on behalf of our nation.

Through a series of "it could only be God" stories, Jerry and Sandra Murphy became the owners of a beautiful ranch near Poplar Bluff, Missouri: 444 County Road 543. Through the years, Jerry has prayed Isaiah 44:4 over this property and believed that a generation would one day gather there to cry out to God for awakening in America.

In September of 2009 Lou Engle (founder and leader of TheCall) and I stood on this property praying about the possibility of using it for just such a purpose. It is very hard to describe the feeling that overtakes a person as he or she steps onto this beautiful land—God’s presence is truly there. As Lou and I prayed, dreaming of thousands of people gathering there before the Lord, Lou, knowing nothing about Jerry’s prayers, suddenly began to exclaim, "this is Isaiah 44:4!"

God is indeed coming to Poplar Bluff, Missouri this summer to fulfill Isaiah 44:3-5, “I will pour out water on the thirsty…I will pour out my Spirit on your offspring…they will spring up like poplars by streams…one will say, ‘I am the Lord’s’…and another will write on his hand, ‘Belonging to the Lord’…” I truly believe this has the potential to help launch the Third Great Awakening in America. Be a part of God recapturing His dream for America. I assure you this is His idea—and He will come! It’s not a camp, it’s a consecration!

Upcoming IHOPNW event: Corey Russell

Corey Russell will be coming to Federal Way, WA.  He will be speaking and ministering at International House of Prayer Northwest soon.  Check out the info below for more details.


Friday, April 30th through Sunday, May 2nd  “The Eternal Glory of the Intercessor” with IHOP-KC’s Corey Russell.

Saturday Time: 1pm & 6pm (2 sessions)

Corey will also be speaking at the Friday PM and Sunday AM Encountering God Services (EGS).

From Genesis to Revelation, God has made it clear that when He manifests Himself on Earth, he desires active involvement of humans. He created men and women to partner with Him through intimacy and prayer. But the intimate relationship between God and humans was severed when Adam and Eve fell. Throughout the Bible, we see God searching for someone to stand in the gap between Himself and humanity, someone who could reconcile Heaven and Earth. In the fullness of time, God sent His broken humanity to be reconciled to God and gave them the glory and honor of being seated with Him in heavenly places. The purpose of the Cross was to join men and women with the eternal Intercessor in His perpetual ministry before the throne, both in this age and int he ages to come.

This series, in conjunction with IHOPU and IHOP-NW’s Forerunner School of Supernatural Ministry (FSSM) was designed to awaken believers to the glory of union with God and to the dignity of their calling to intercessory prayer. We have dominion and authority in the Kingdom of God through intimacy. Through knowing God, we understand His desires, and we intercede for those desires to be fulfilled. When we come into agreement with God’s heart and purposes by living lives of prayer and fasting, His will is released in the earth.

Registration Limited Due to Space. Please don’t wait to register, because we have a seating limit of 250.

Corey Russell is a senior leader at the International House of Prayer Missions Base in Kansas City, Missouri, where he lives with his wife, Dana, and their two children, Trinity and Mya. In addition to teaching at the Forerunner School of Ministry, Corey travels nationally, preaching on themes of intercession and the pursuit of the knowledge of God.

IFM Spring Seminar: identity and destiny

Without understanding our identity in Christ, we cannot fulfill our destiny. This conference will focus on who we are as a result of God’s grace and the awesome destiny that Father has for all of us through our union with His Son. When we really understand Father’s grace and purpose for us, we can no longer say, “I’m only human!” As sons of God we are partakers of the Divine Nature. Come and be encouraged as you discover the glory of our redemption in Christ.

He serves as a conference speaker, and has ministered in churches around the United States, England and Nigeria.

Covenant Love Christian Center was born in the hearts of Nicholas and Germaine Wright in June of 1988 while serving at Redeeming Love Christian Center.  After 3 moves, the Lord blessed them in 2004 with their own church building in North Richland Hills. There they have space for a growing congregation, rooms for all children and youth classes, a full service fellowship hall with kitchen, and classrooms for Covenant Love Academy.

Over the years many lives have been changed around the world as Nicholas, empowered by the Holy Spirit has blessed, fed, nurtured, delivered, guided, and matured the body of Christ. Yet the word spoken during their anniversary service in 2007, spurs them forward, "the best is yet to come!"

Suzy is one of my favorite worship leader of all time.  I have seen her lead worship live many times at MorningStar, and even a few times here in Washington State.  Suzy releases freedom and the loving presence of God every time she sings.  Check out the Sid Roth interview and live set at this link.

The Call DC, an intense, powerful day of prayer

My friend Jeremy and I watched a large portion of the 12-hour broadcast at http://www.god.tv/ yesterday, and what happened at The Call on the grounds of the Mall, in Washington DC, was absolutely historic.  The prayers were mighty and genuine, the repentance sincere and heartfelt, the worship glorious and intimate.  And most of all, God was there.  Let the holy revolution begin in America.

My life-changing encounter with God in 2000

Below is a short article that I wrote up a few years ago, about my life-changing power encounter with God in the year 2000, when I was a student at Stanford University. I want to share it as an encouragement to all of us, and for those who don't know God yet, to testify that God is real and that He wants to reveal Himself to each one of us. Read on...

***************************

SUDDENLY, I FELT AN INCREDIBLE SURGE OF POWER channeling into my outstretched hands and traveling down my arms into the rest of my body. I was thrust back into my seat and paralyzed from head to toe. The force that had entered into me was like a wave of fire penetrating my every bone and tissue.

No, this wasn’t a dream or a lightning strike or a freak electricity accident, this was my personal power encounter with GOD.

It happened at a prayer group meeting with my friends at Stanford University on Friday, 2/18/2000. I was a sophomore at Stanford on my way to degrees in Urban Studies and Sociology. As an intellectual person, I had always been skeptical of hyped-up supernatural experiences. But on that night, God showed up supernaturally in a way I could not deny.

I had been raised in a Christian family before that time, and I believed in God growing up. But there were always seeds of doubt in my mind as to whether God was real, whether Jesus was truly the Son of God who died on the cross for my sins, whether the Bible was really true, and whether my faith in Christ was only a byproduct of my family heritage.

Earlier that school year, I was desperate for some real answers in my life. Being away from home and listening to atheist professors had shaken me up a bit. I was mired in a depression and needed help.

I cried out to God. I told God, “If you are truly real, please reveal yourself to me. If you really do love me as you say in the Bible, let me experience your love. I am going to seek you, and your word says that you will answer everyone who seeks you with a sincere heart (Jeremiah 29:13), so you better come.”

As I started praying like that everyday, things began to happen shortly. I hear about a Friday night prayer meeting and began attending it. In those meetings I met some folks who were on-fire for God and were the most radical Christians I’ve ever met. And I began to feel the presence of God for the first time in my life in those weekly meetings. I had been a Christian and received salvation years ago but I had never known the presence of God. As God began to pour out His Holy Spirit into me in huge doses, my depression left and never came back.

The Bible tells us “not to be drunk with wine…but be filled with the Spirit.” (Ephesians 5:18) This verse is true wisdom. As I started experiencing the love of God a daily basis, I was enjoying God a whole lot. I’ve come to realize that the taste of God is so much better than anything I’ve ever experienced in my life, in my pursuit of pleasure and happiness. “Taste and see that the LORD is good.” (Psalms 34:8)

It was a couple months after I had begun going to these prayer meetings when God “ruined” me in that unforgettable power encounter. The entire experience lasted for over 2 hours, in which I was so undone by the LORD that I was unable to move or even wiggle one finger. In the initial stages God revealed to me that He is indeed HOLY and ALL-POWERFUL, later on He began to show me my sins and gently asked me to repent of them. As I started repenting I began to feel burdens being lifted from me and I was filled with joy. After that I began to weep and pray out loud to God with such power and passion that I knew my life was never going to be the same again.

Indeed, after that night, my life has shifted gears up to a whole new level. I began to see the world through a God-centered perspective, and I was able hear the voice of God much better. Now I know that I can run into the loving arms of my heavenly Father at anytime. Needless to say, any lingering doubt about the reality of God and the validity of the gospel was completely eliminated. I now know for sure that Jesus is “the way, the truth, and the life.” (John 14:6)

My lifestyle changed radically. It was the beginning of a whole new dimension of relationship with God. There were still other “issues” in my life, but now I can see God working in me daily to bring about complete healing and transformation of my entire life.

I started joyously telling friends and strangers about what God had done in my life, how He had really saved me from darkness into the light. I was waking up every morning not wanting to get out of bed, dreading the day and the things that I had to do to survive another day. I was stressed-out, self-absorbed, and full of worries all the time. I could not see how life can be any better, it was painful and monotonous with frequent escapes into carnal fantasies. I was spiritually blind to who God really is and the life that He intend for us to live. It is God’s heart to open us to truth, love, and freedom, if we let Him.

Dear reader, if you have not yet given your life wholly to Jesus, if you have never experienced His love and presence, I would strongly urge you to start praying and seek God right now and every day. You don’t need to pray some religious prayers, just be real and honest with God. Doesn’t matter who you are or what you’ve done, He will forgive you and He is waiting for you with arms wide open. He loves you so much and He wants you to experience Him.
