14 For by that one offering he forever made perfect those who are being made holy.

¹⁰ For God’s will was for us to be made holy by the sacrifice of the body of Jesus Christ, once for all time.

¹⁴ For by that one offering he forever made perfect those who are being made holy.

¹⁷ Then He [the Holy Spirit] says,“I will never again remember

    their sins and lawless deeds.

¹⁸ And when sins have been forgiven, there is no need to offer any more sacrifices.

²⁰ By his death,^[e] Jesus opened a new and life-giving way through the curtain into the Most Holy Place. ²¹ And since we have a great High Priest who rules over God’s house, ²² let us go right into the presence of God with sincere hearts fully trusting him. For our guilty consciences have been sprinkled with Christ’s blood to make us clean, and our bodies have been washed with pure water.

Hebrews 10:14-23; Hebrews 10:14-25

Hebrews 10:14-23 New Living Translation (NLT) 14 For by that one offering he forever made perfect those who are being made holy. 15 And the Holy Spirit also testifies that this is so. For he says, 16 “This is the new covenant I will make     with my people on that day,[a] says the Lord: I will put my laws in their hearts,     and I will write them on their minds.”[b] 17 Then he says, “I will never again remember     their sins and lawless deeds.”[c] 18 And when sins have been forgiven, there is no need to offer any more sacrifices. A Call to Persevere 19 And so, dear brothers and sisters,[d] we can boldly enter heaven’s Most Holy Place because of the blood of Jesus. 20 By his death,[e] Jesus opened a new and life-giving way through the curtain into the Most Holy Place. 21 And since we have a great High Priest who rules over God’s house, 22 let us go right into the presence of God with sincere hearts fully trusting him. For our guilty consciences have been sprinkled with Christ’s blood to make us clean, and our bodies have been washed with pure water. 23 Let us hold tightly without wavering to the hope we affirm, for God can be trusted to keep his promise.

Hebrews 10:14-23 New King James Version (NKJV) 14 For by one offering He has perfected forever those who are being sanctified. 15 But the Holy Spirit also witnesses to us; for after He had said before, 16 “This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, says the Lord: I will put My laws into their hearts, and in their minds I will write them,”[a] 17 then He adds, “Their sins and their lawless deeds I will remember no more.”[b] 18 Now where there is remission of these, there is no longer an offering for sin. Hold Fast Your Confession 19 Therefore, brethren, having boldness to enter the Holiest by the blood of Jesus, 20 by a new and living way which He consecrated for us, through the veil, that is, His flesh, 21 and having a High Priest over the house of God, 22 let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water. 23 Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful. New King James Version (NKJV)

Hebrews 10:14-23 Amplified Bible (AMP) 14 For by a single offering He has forever completely cleansed and perfected those who are consecrated and made holy. 15 And also the Holy Spirit adds His testimony to us [in confirmation of this]. For having said, 16 This is the agreement (testament, covenant) that I will set up and conclude with them after those days, says the Lord: I will imprint My laws upon their hearts, and I will inscribe them on their minds (on their inmost thoughts and understanding), 17 He then goes on to say, And their sins and their lawbreaking I will remember no more. 18 Now where there is absolute remission (forgiveness and cancellation of the penalty) of these [sins and lawbreaking], there is no longer any offering made to atone for sin. 19 Therefore, brethren, since we have full freedom and confidence to enter into the [Holy of] Holies [by the power and virtue] in the blood of Jesus, 20 By this fresh (new) and living way which He initiated and dedicated and opened for us through the separating curtain (veil of the Holy of Holies), that is, through His flesh, 21 And since we have [such] a great and wonderful and noble Priest [Who rules] over the house of God, 22 Let us all come forward and draw near with true (honest and sincere) hearts in unqualified assurance and absolute conviction engendered by faith (by [a]that leaning of the entire human personality on God in absolute trust and confidence in His power, wisdom, and goodness), having our hearts sprinkled and purified from a guilty (evil) conscience and our bodies cleansed with pure water. 23 So let us seize and hold fast and retain without wavering the [b]hope we cherish and confess and our acknowledgement of it, for He Who promised is reliable (sure) and faithful to His word.

Hebrews 10:14-25 The Message (MSG) 11-18 Every priest goes to work at the altar each day, offers the same old sacrifices year in, year out, and never makes a dent in the sin problem. As a priest, Christ made a single sacrifice for sins, and that was it! Then he sat down right beside God and waited for his enemies to cave in. It was a perfect sacrifice by a perfect person to perfect some very imperfect people. By that single offering, he did everything that needed to be done for everyone who takes part in the purifying process. The Holy Spirit confirms this: This new plan I’m making with Israel     isn’t going to be written on paper,     isn’t going to be chiseled in stone; This time “I’m writing out the plan in them,     carving it on the lining of their hearts.” He concludes, I’ll forever wipe the slate clean of their sins. Once sins are taken care of for good, there’s no longer any need to offer sacrifices for them. Don’t Throw It All Away 19-21 So, friends, we can now—without hesitation—walk right up to God, into “the Holy Place.” Jesus has cleared the way by the blood of his sacrifice, acting as our priest before God. The “curtain” into God’s presence is his body. 22-25 So let’s do it—full of belief, confident that we’re presentable inside and out. Let’s keep a firm grip on the promises that keep us going. He always keeps his word. Let’s see how inventive we can be in encouraging love and helping out, not avoiding worshiping together as some do but spurring each other on, especially as we see the big Day approaching. The Message

Hebrews 10:14-23 Young's Literal Translation (YLT) 14 for by one offering he hath perfected to the end those sanctified; 15 and testify to us also doth the Holy Spirit, for after that He hath said before, 16 `This [is] the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, giving My laws on their hearts, and upon their minds I will write them,' 17 and `their sins and their lawlessness I will remember no more;' 18 and where forgiveness of these [is], there is no more offering for sin. 19 Having, therefore, brethren, boldness for the entrance into the holy places, in the blood of Jesus, 20 which way he did initiate for us -- new and living, through the vail, that is, his flesh -- 21 and a high priest over the house of God, 22 may we draw near with a true heart, in full assurance of faith, having the hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and having the body bathed with pure water; 23 may we hold fast the unwavering profession of the hope, (for faithful [is] He who did promise), Young's Literal Translation

Don't Give Up on Your Dreams 

In the book of Genesis there is a story about a young man named Joseph. Joseph was a dreamer. His father favored him and gave him a coat of many colors. Because of this, his brothers threw him in a ditch and sold him as a slave. He was beaten, falsely accused and thrown into prison. Joseph never gave up on the dream that God gave him, but pursued God's promise'a through difficult times.

 

Because of Joseph's faith and tenacity, Pharaoh made him the Vizier which is the highest official in Ancient Egypt to serve the king. Pharaoh also placed a gold chain on his neck and put his signet ring on his finger which meant that Joseph now owned and had authority over everything that was Pharaohs. He then gave him a new name which was Zaphnath-Paaneah which means "Revealer of mysteries". Some of you have been like Joseph. You once had a dream but your life seems to be going in the opposite direction. The book of Psalms chapter 105 verse 19 says that "Until the time that his word came to pass, The word of the Lord tested him". 

 

The Lord says; do not allow anything to steal the dream that I have placed in your heart. Never give up on what I have promised to you. I am the restorer of dreams, and My word will come to pass. Just as Josephs father, I have given you favor. I have given you a coat of many colors. For those of you who have been betrayed by your brothers and sisters, I am the restorer of the breach. That which has been broken in your lives shall be mended. Those relationships that have been severed and disarrayed will be restored. Your families will come into alignment with My plans as they continue to observe your dedication to Me. Just as Potiphar's wife falsely accused Joseph, those of you who have been falsely accused and lied about will be recompensed and rewarded for your integrity. You will discover the greater plan as you continue to walk in holiness without compromise and don't follow when others try to lead you astray. There is nothing hidden, that will not be revealed; nor anything secret, that will not be known and come to light. 

 

To those of you who have been imprisoned with fear and torment, I have the keys to hell and death. Trust Me to be your deliverer and set you free. I will release you and break off all shackles that confine you. Never settle for less than what I have for you. Ask Me for wisdom to make your dream a reality and the faith to step out. Continue to pursue My plans without looking back to your past mistakes and failures. I will bring people into your life to help you fulfill the dream that I have placed in your heart. There will be divine connections with others who believe as you do, and will help to encourage you. Sever any relationships from people that will try to annihilate your dreams and hinder your growth. Just as Joseph was raised from the pit to this high calling, I will bring you out of a place of despair, and raise you up to a higher place. Never let go of your dream, but hold on with the same tenacity as Joseph had. I Am the revealer of mysteries and I will also reveal My mysteries to you. You will then have My favor and you will be ruler over adverse situations rather than having them destroy or control you says the Lord. 

Psalm 105:17 -19

He sent a man before them- Joseph-who was sold as a slave. They hurt his feet with fetters, he was laid in irons. Until the time that his word came to pass, The word of the Lord tested him.

Psalm 105:20-25

The king sent and released him, the ruler of peoples set him free. He made him master of his household, ruler over all he possessed, to instruct his princes as he pleased and teach his elders wisdom. Then Israel entered Egypt; Jacob lived as an alien in the land of Ham. The Lord made his people very fruitful; he made them too numerous for their foes, whose hearts he turned to hate his people, to conspire against his servants.

Daniel 2:22
He reveals deep and secret things; He knows what is in the darkness, and light dwells with Him.

Ephesians 3:20

Now unto Him that is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us.  

 

Speak Gently

Speak gently! -- It is better far
To rule by love, than fear --
Speak gently -- let not harsh words mar
The good we might do here!

Speak gently! -- Love doth whisper low
The vows that true hearts bind;
And gently Friendship's accents flow;
Affection's voice is kind.

Speak gently to the little child!
Its love be sure to gain;
Teach it in accents soft and mild: --
It may not long remain.

Speak gently to the young, for they
Will have enough to bear --
Pass through this life as best they may,
'T is full of anxious care!

Speak gently to the aged one,
Grieve not the care-worn heart;
The sands of life are nearly run,
Let such in peace depart!

Speak gently, kindly, to the poor;
Let no harsh tone be heard;
They have enough they must endure,
Without an unkind word!

Speak gently to the erring -- know,
They may have toiled in vain;
Perchance unkindness made them so;
Oh, win them back again!

Speak gently! -- He who gave his life
To bend man's stubborn will,
When elements were in fierce strife,
Said to them, 'Peace, be still.'

Speak gently! -- 't is a little thing
Dropped in the heart's deep well;
The good, the joy, which it may bring,
Eternity shall tell.

David Bates

Chiding

Reproach will seldom mend the young,
If they are left to need it;
The breath of love must stir the tongue,
If you would have them heed it.

How oft we see a child caressed
For little faults and failings,
Which should have been at first suppressed
To save the after railings!

If, when the heart would go astray,
You would the passion smother,
You must not tear the charm away,
But substitute another.

Thus it is pleasant to be led,
If he who leads will measure
The heart's affection by the head,
And make pursuit a pleasure.

David Bates

Childhood

Childhood, sweet and sunny childhood,
With its careless, thoughtless air,
Like the verdant, tangled wildwood,
Wants the training hand of care.

See it springing all around us --
Glad to know, and quick to learn;
Asking questions that confound us;
Teaching lessons in its turn.

Who loves not its joyous revel,
Leaping lightly on the lawn,
Up the knoll, along the level,
Free and graceful as a fawn?

Let it revel; it is nature
Giving to the little dears
Strength of limb, and healthful features,
For the toil of coming years.

He who checks a child with terror,
Stops its play, and stills its song,
Not alone commits an error,
But a great and moral wrong.

Give it play, and never fear it --
Active life is no defect;
Never, never break its spirit --
Curb it only to direct.

Would you dam the flowing river,
Thinking it would cease to flow?
Onward it must go forever --
Better teach it where to go.

Childhood is a fountain welling,
Trace its channel in the sand,
And its currents, spreading, swelling,
Will revive the withered land.

Childhood is the vernal season;
Trim and train the tender shoot;
Love is to the coming reason,
As the blossom to the fruit.

Tender twigs are bent and folded --
Art to nature beauty lends;
Childhood easily is moulded;
Manhood breaks, but seldom bends.

Prophetic Alert

March 20, 2014 - Prophetic Alert Kim Clement Long before time began, long before time began, this day was spoken of.  Powers and principalities spoke of this day, where he would take the nations of the earth and shake them.  Where he had planned that His people, God’s people, would shake from fear – and even now, you watch in fear – why are My people afraid? Why are My people fearful? “For we have no understanding of what the enemy is doing.”  Snowden, you were a puppet in the hands of God, for America suddenly lost its security.  Suddenly you weren’t as strong, as insightful as what you thought. This incident, this tragedy with Malaysian Airlines, has brought this nation to a place of fear.  “We don’t know!”  You’re not supposed to know!  Russia, Ukraine, Poland, Germany, Estonia, you shall be the troublemaker.  You shall rattle Putin, who claims himself as a czar to bring back a system of control and pain and suppression.  Ha ha, I laugh at you!  For all the nations stand before Me now without intelligence, without understanding.  They know nothing.  Where is your radar?  Where is your intelligence?  Why can you not find the coffin on wheels?  Why can you not do it?  For I have shown the entire earth, you know nothing.  Therefore, a new group of terrorists are emerging.  They are not related to the Taliban; they have one focus in mind – to take the youth and cause them to do what you assume has been done with this jet.  This is just the beginning, says the Lord.  They will train pilots and have trained pilots to plunge, to attack, to steal, and then to crawl into Israel and destroy My people.  This shall not happen, says the Lord, for once again I will show you I AM the God of the earth, I AM the Lord of the Universe. Here Me now, you have gathered together.  So, what happened to the jet? Is that what really matters?  For the Spirit of God says, I will surprise you and show you, for as I raised My prophetic voice above the northwest of India, it was because of mischievousness, anger and grief.  A new territorial spirit has arisen and has fouled the nations of the earth, has fooled the nations of the earth.  And God said, it will continue and they shall say this has given us an idea – steal jets.  And your intelligence says “it shall never happen since we have implemented the security since 2011.”  Ha!  And what you have done, says the Lord, is you have ignored your reliance upon the King of life itself, the Lord Your God.  Now you’re at My mercy, says the Lord.  Search as much as you wish, for it shall come to pass that I will expose, for Russia has joined its hands to Iran, Syria, and is gathering as many nations as possible to come and strike the Jews and to strike at this Christian nation and cause you to be crippled, says the Lord.  Therefore, would you like an answer?  I’ll show you, I told you, within 48 hours.  Now it is emerging; now I will show you.  And then, God says, as they creep nearer, I will expose them and destroy them beneath the sea, on top of the sea, on the land and in the air, says the Lord

A Grain Of Sand

If starry space no limit knows
And sun succeeds to sun,
There is no reason to suppose
Our earth the only one.
'Mid countless constellations cast
A million worlds may be,
With each a God to bless or blast
And steer to destiny.

Just think! A million gods or so
To guide each vital stream,
With over all to boss the show
A Deity supreme.
Such magnitudes oppress my mind;
From cosmic space it swings;
So ultimately glad to find
Relief in little things.

For look! Within my hollow hand,
While round the earth careens,
I hold a single grain of sand
And wonder what it means.
Ah! If I had the eyes to see,
And brain to understand,
I think Life's mystery might be
Solved in this grain of sand.

Robert William Service

Matthew 5:44-48 (NLT)

⁴⁴ But I say, love your enemies!^[a] Pray for those who persecute you! ⁴⁵ In that way, you will be acting as true children of your Father in heaven. For he gives his sunlight to both the evil and the good, and he sends rain on the just and the unjust alike. ⁴⁶ If you love only those who love you, what reward is there for that? Even corrupt tax collectors do that much. ⁴⁷ If you are kind only to your friends, how are you different from anyone else? Even pagans do that. ⁴⁸ But you are to be perfect, even as your Father in heaven is perfect.

Footnote:5:44 Some manuscripts add Bless those who curse you. Do good to those who hate you. Compare Luke 6:27-28.

Hebrews 2 (NLT)

A Warning against Drifting Away

1. So we must listen very carefully to the truth we have heard, or we may drift away from it. ² For the message God delivered through angels has always stood firm, and every violation of the law and every act of disobedience was punished. ³ So what makes us think we can escape if we ignore this great salvation that was first announced by the Lord Jesus himself and then delivered to us by those who heard him speak? ⁴ And God confirmed the message by giving signs and wonders and various miracles and gifts of the Holy Spirit whenever he chose.

Jesus, the Man

⁵ And furthermore, it is not angels who will control the future world we are talking about. ⁶ For in one place the Scriptures say,

“What are mere mortals that you should think about them,
    or a son of man^[a] that you should care for him?
⁷ Yet you made them only a little lower than the angels
    and crowned them with glory and honor.^[b]
8 You gave them authority over all things.”^[c]

Now when it says “all things,” it means nothing is left out. But we have not yet seen all things put under their authority. ⁹ What we do see is Jesus, who was given a position “a little lower than the angels”; and because he suffered death for us, he is now “crowned with glory and honor.” Yes, by God’s grace, Jesus tasted death for everyone. ¹⁰ God, for whom and through whom everything was made, chose to bring many children into glory. And it was only right that he should make Jesus, through his suffering, a perfect leader, fit to bring them into their salvation.

¹¹ So now Jesus and the ones he makes holy have the same Father. That is why Jesus is not ashamed to call them his brothers and sisters.^{[d] 12} For he said to God,

“I will proclaim your name to my brothers and sisters.
    I will praise you among your assembled people.”^[e]

¹³ He also said,

“I will put my trust in him,”
    that is, “I and the children God has given me.”^[f]

¹⁴ Because God’s children are human beings—made of flesh and blood—the Son also became flesh and blood. For only as a human being could he die, and only by dying could he break the power of the devil, who had^[g] the power of death. ¹⁵ Only in this way could he set free all who have lived their lives as slaves to the fear of dying.

¹⁶ We also know that the Son did not come to help angels; he came to help the descendants of Abraham. ¹⁷ Therefore, it was necessary for him to be made in every respect like us, his brothers and sisters,^[h] so that he could be our merciful and faithful High Priest before God. Then he could offer a sacrifice that would take away the sins of the people. ¹⁸ Since he himself has gone through suffering and testing, he is able to help us when we are being tested.

Footnotes:

1. 2:6 Or the Son of Man.
2. 2:7 Some manuscripts add You gave them charge of everything you made.
3. 2:6-8 Ps 8:4-6 (Greek version).
4. 2:11 Greek brothers; also in 2:12.
5. 2:12 Ps 22:22.
6. 2:13 Isa 8:17-18.
7. 2:14 Or has.
8. 2:17 Greek like the brothers.

And this hope will not lead to disappointment. For we know how dearly God loves us, because he has given us the Holy Spirit to fill our hearts with his love.

Read Romans 5:5 

 Romans

9:33God warned them of this in the Scriptures when he said,

“I am placing a stone in Jerusalem that makes people stumble,

a rock that makes them fall.

But anyone who trusts in him

will never be disgraced.”

  

 Romans 10:11...As the Scriptures tell us, “Anyone who trusts in him will never be disgraced."

I'm up on the tightwire
one side's ice and one is fire
its a circus game with you and me
I'm up on the tightrope
one side's hate and one is hope
but the tophat on my head is all you see
And the wire seems to be
the only place for me
a comedy of errors
and I'm falling
**Chorus**
Like a rubber-neck giraffe
you look into my past
well maybe you're just to blind to - see
I'm up in the spotlight
ohh does it feel right
ohh the altitude
seems to get to me
I'm up on the tightwire
flanked by life and the funeral pyre
putting on a show
for you to see
**Chorus**
Like a rubber-neck giraffe
you look into my past
well maybe you're just too blind to - see
I'm up in the spotlight
ohh does it feel right
ohh the altitude
really gets to get to me
I'm up on the tightwire
flanked by life and the funeral pyre
putting on a show for you to see

"Tightrope"
Easy now, with my heart
Easy now, oh with my heart
Walk a tightrope, walk a little tightrope
You walk a tightrope, walk a little tightrope
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh this heart is burning up
I said oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh this heart is burning up
Careful now, with my head
I said careful now, what you do to my head
Make your mind up, make your little mind up
To each his own, each his or her o-o-own
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, this heart is burning up
I said oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, this heart is burning up
In my bed, I'm rolling over
I'm changing, I've been the change, on the swings on the set, on the night that we met
And all the beads of water move up the glass
You speak your mind, you cannot take it back
Walk a tightrope, walk a little tightrope!
Walk a tightrope, walk a little tightrope!
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh this heart is burning up
I said oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh this heart is burning up

Tightrope 

 I don't wanna wait too long
And I don't wanna break it down

The sun is sinking just like stone
And it's hard to for me to breath
My mind is missing pieces of you
And fear and the pain have gone
But i'll keep holdin' holdin'...

And I'm higher before than I've ever been
I was walking a tightrope can't you see
that nobody wants to be alone
I was walking a tightrope
(walking a tightrope)
Can you catch me?
If I let go

As far as I can see
The world is turning out of time
Your gravity will pull me close
And it's all I'll ever need
Don't let me fall and break in two
cus all we are are skin and bones
So just keep holdin'
Just keep holdin' on

And I'm higher before than I've ever been
I was walking a tightrope can't you see
that nobody wants to be alone
I was walking a tightrope
Can you catch me?
If I let go

There's no way back
If I let go
You're where I land
So here I go
cus I just wanna live
and I just wanna feel it

I just wanna feel it

And I'm higher before than I've ever been
I was walking a tightrope can't you see
that nobody wants to be alone
I was walking a tightrope
Can you catch me?
If I let go

Kari Jobe's new tune

When I walk through deep waters

I know that You will be with me
When I’m standing in the fire
I will not be overcome
Through the valley of the shadow
I will not fear
I am not alone
I am not alone
You will go before me
You will never leave me
In the midst of deep sorrow
I see Your light is breaking through
The dark of night will not overtake me
I am pressing into You
Lord, You fight my every battle
And I will not fear
You amaze me
Redeem me
You call me as Your own
You’re my strength
You’re my defender
You’re my refuge in the storm
Through these trials
You’ve always been faithful
You bring healing to my soul

The Coming Turmoil in the World’s Banks

Terry Bennett August, 2012

Regarding the international banking clan:
They have financed greed, they have financed control, they have financed deception, they have financed slavery, they have financed chaos, they have financed destruction and death. They have plotted and schemed in their deceiving desires. They have robbed, stolen, bankrupted, and their hearts and mouths are filled with lies, trickery, and deceit. Come out from her midst my people. I say again, come out so that you do not partake of her destruction. I will bring my hand against her, for I have determined her ruin and wreckage. There will be none that can help her, none that can save. She has used her wealth to wage war, therefore war shall come upon her. She has believed that she is secure and that none can harm her, but I, the Lord, shall cause her downfall to be sudden and everlasting.
Ruin, ruin, ruin do I declare. Pay her back double for her evil. Yes, I will use her own devices to trap and destroy. Then she will know that I have seen her hidden plans, heard her willful and arrogant words, and have acted in my unstoppable power. Come out my people, come out, lest you too partake of her demise! I will now arise. I shall come out of my hidden place and shall act in the light with great might. Come out my people.

Gideon’s army (Judg. 6–7). On December 5, 1982, our new church had its first service. I spoke from Lk. 18:7 [7 And shall not God avenge His own elect, who cry day and night unto Him, though He bear long with them? and Isa. 62:6-7.

[isa isaiah 62:6-7I have set watchmen on your walls, O Jerusalem;
They shall never hold their peace day or night. You who make mention of the Lord, do not keep silent,⁷ And give Him no rest till He establishes And till He makes Jerusalem a praise in the earth.

 B.Bob Jones’ first prophetic experience concerning a young adult movement was on August 8, 1975. In a near death experience he stood before Jesus. The Lord sent him back to help the initial leaders of a youth movement that would persist in prayer and be led by singers and musicians.

C. I met Bob on March 7, 1983. He said, “You are an intercessor and youth pastor. You will lead a worldwide youth movement of singers and musicians that will be used in power evangelism that will mobilize prayer for Israel

and receive abundant grace in the prophetic and intercession.”

D.

Bob said, “On the first of spring when the snow melts they will accept me.” He explained that God gives prophetic signs in the heavens (including comets and weather patterns) and on the earth (earthquakes, etc.) to confirm and validate prophetic visions and dreams.17 I will pour out of My Spirit on all flesh; Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your young men shall see visions

, your old men shall dream dreams

...19 I  will show wonders in heaven and signs in the earth

...20 before the coming of the...day of the LORD. (Acts 2:17-20)

E.

Bob said,“This movement will have an intercessory ministry like Harry Truman

who was a ‘political intercessor’ for Israel. This movement will be spiritual intercessors for Israel. The Lord will place you next to Truman as a prophetic sign. He will set you in Grandview to give a grand view of the kingdom of God (through media).Truman helped to establish the state of Israel in May 1948

. Many OT prophecies make it clear that Israel would once again dwell in their own land in the end times (after being out of it for 2,000 years). No nation has ever returned to their homeland after being out of it for one generation. Truman stood against much resistance in the USA government and the UN by insisting on a homeland for Israel. Bob told me our most significant impact would be in mobilizing intercessors for Israel. We are praying to mobilize 100 million intercessors for Israel through many ministries working together.

F.

On January 27, 2008, IHOP–KC purchased the 125 acres that Harry S. Truman had sold to a Jewish family exactly fifty years earlier on January 27, 1958. This is a prophetic sign to IHOP–KC. As Bob left that day, he gave me the same four prophetic words that Augustine had told mein Oc tober 1982. God confirmed Bob Jones’ prophetic role on March 21, 1983. I met with Bob Jones and Art Katz together at my house from 9:00pm until 4:00am. The snow came as a prophetic sign.

G.

The most significant and formative prophetic years were 1982–1984.

BEFORE MOVING BACK TO KANSAS CITY IN NOVEMBER 1982

A.I was born again on June 9, 1971 and then became deeply involved in a Presbyterian church for the next five years. I was strongly anti-charismatic during these days and boldly taught against what I called “charismatic heresies.” I was involved with Campus Crusade for Christ, theNavigators, and Fellowship of Christian Athletes during my high school and college years.

B.

Martyn Lloyd-Jones is my favorite Bible teacher (I had the privilege of speaking four times at his church, Westminster Chapel, in London in the early 1990s). My other favorite teachers are A. W.Tozer, John Stott, J. I. Packer, Stuart Briscoe, Chuck Smith, and Leonard Ravenhill. I read many biographies in my early years. My heroes from history are Hudson Taylor, David Brainerd, Jonathan Edwards, Wesley, Whitefield, Finney, John G. Lake and Bernard of Clairvaux.

C.

In June 1982, I was called to leave St. Louis to go to Kansas City. Augustine Alcala, a man with a proven prophetic ministry, heard the audible voice of God about me while visiting St. Louis. In October 1982, Augustine gave me four words about the new work in Kansas City.

1. Thousands of young people will gather in Kansas City.

2. The full manifestation of the gifts of the Holy Spirit will operate.

3. A false prophet will arise in your midst in the early days (he was discovered).

4. A controversy will arise against you; do not fight back, but trust the Lord.

III.

PROPHETIC EXPERIENCE IN CAIRO, EGYPT IN SEPTEMBER 1982

A.The Lord’s invitation in Cairo, Egypt, September 1982 (first indication of a coming movement):

I will change the understanding and expression of Christianity in the earth in one generation.

1. Changing the understanding:

speaks of the way unbelievers will perceive the Church.

Today, many see the Church as boring, irrelevant, and non-threatening (Acts 5:11-13).

2.

Changing the expression:

is the way the church expresses its life together as a prophetic people of prayer who walk out Sermon on the Mount lifestyles with a forerunner spirit.

B.

God spoke to me about four heart standards necessary for my future life and ministry. They are not the only values necessary in a New Testament church, but are the most neglected ones. In 1996, God corrected us as a local church, calling us back to these by using the acronym “IHOP.”

1.Intercession

: night and day prayer and worship affects our time

2.Holiness: the Sermon on the Mount lifestyle (Mt. 5-7) affects our thoughts and attitudes

3.Offerings: extravagant giving by living simply to give more to the harvest affects our money

4.Prophetic: confidence in God’s intervention (provision, protection, direction) and standing boldly in faith for what the Spirit is saying affects our security and identity (most difficult)

WHY SHARE OUR PROPHETIC HISTORY

A.

Scripture exhorts us to remember what God said and did in the past and to teach it to our

children. Remembering what God did in our midst helps us to obey and set our hope in Him.

2

I will open my mouth in a parable; I will utter dark sayings of old, 3 which...our fathers told

us...4 telling to the generation to come...His wonderful works. 5 He established a testimony

in Jacob...He commanded our fathers, that they should make them known to their children; 6 that the generation to come...may declare them to their children, 7 that they mayset their

hope in God, and not forget the works of God, but keep His commandments. (Ps. 78:2-7)

B.

Some of God’s ways are given to us as parables that unfold in a way that enables us, as the years go by, to see more and more significance in what He did in the past. Jesus spoke many things in parables to make truth more clear to those who were humble and hungry for more and to make truth more obscure for those who were proud and spiritually self-satisfied (Mt. 13:3, 13-17).

He spoke many things to them in parables...13 I speak to them in parables, because seeing

they do not see, and hearing they do not hear,nor do they understand

. (Mt. 13:3, 13)

C.

Personal prophecy is given to strengthen our resolve to obey God, to be faithful in prayer and to help us keep focused on the specific ministry assignment that God gives us. Prophecy is not a guarantee, but an invitation from God to participate with Him in prayer, faith, and obedience18 This charge I commit to you, son Timothy, according to the prophecies previously made concerning you, that by them you may wage the good warfare

... (1 Tim. 1:18)

D.

The Father has a vast and glorious storyline for the whole Body of Christ in this generation. He has a specific assignment for each ministry. We all have a small yet significant part to play in His plans. God wants His people to honor and love the whole Church. There is a part of my inheritance in God that I can only receive as I receive from others in the larger Body of Christ. I have been deeply helped through the years by what God has done through other ministries.

E.

The Holy Spirit is orchestrating one great move of God in this generation. It is compromised of many smaller ministry movements that each have a specific ministry assignment. In other

words, the end-time prayer movement is made up of many smaller prayer movements. IHOP–KC is one small movement in the midst of the global end-time move of God.

F.

IHOP–KC’s “prophetic history” represents a very small part of God’s story in this generation. In telling this prophetic history, our prayer is that the IHOP–KC community be strengthened in our resolve to obey our specific ministry assignment. We also share this story, hoping that part of our story will encourage others to believe God for His fullness in their ministry assignment. As each ministry does their small part, others see the big picture of God’s puzzle a little more clearly.
