Convergence It is critical that the church in America understands the times and what needs to be done now. The natural things speak of the invisible. Natural happenings on the earth are revealing something that is going on in the spiritual realm. There is a great spiritual conflict with a rising tide of Islamic boldness being manifested. Several happenings are converging this week. First of all, our President has recently proclaimed, honored, encouraged the Muslim holy days of prayer and fasting called Ramadan. He was very silent on the National Day of Prayer but very vocal on the support of Ramadan. Interestingly at the same time a major Christian leader of the Emergent Church called for forty days of fasting and prayer in the same Ramadan period with the goal that the church will better understand our Muslim friends. We are all for understanding but we must have spiritual discernment as to the spiritual dark powers that are being invoked into our nation. Cause for ConcernAt the same ...

Arden and her new home - what a great week we had together! Check her blog for more pics. This is the Justice Prayer House and Arden's friend Marcie on right Back at IHOP at a "random" session - an explosion of prayer takes place! Wow!

Spending time here at IHOP is like soaking in the spiritual jacuzzi of God. (Arden's phrase). The IHOP prayer room is a beehive of activity 24 hours a day. The weekends are so crowded prayer is moved to the church building. Every 2 hours a new set of musicians lead in worship and intercession. Around the main room is a series of smaller rooms - enter one for praying for the government, one for praying for Israel, numerous rooms for healing and a number for prophecy. Show up any time day and night and worship and intercede. Next door is a coffee shop "Higher Grounds" :-) open for extended times. (coffee and food not allowed in prayer room). Imagine this - it is difficult to find a parking space at the prayer room so they have shuttle buses. On Sunday, there are 3 services (same speaker/message) different worship teams in a larger facility - also with shuttle parking. I mentioned all the young people, but there are people of all ages and people of all nations here and praye...

Arden, MJ, Jill, Kendra, Julie and baby Elisha, Marcie, Nyla and Josh, Ginny and Peter We took time on Saturday to have a BBQ. Arden invited her close friends Jill and Marcie -two wonderful women of God who helped Arden get her house bought, renovated and filled with tenants . Julie and her husband and son live downstairs now, Kendra used to live there and Nyla will. (See Arde's blog for more on our BBQ). The party was to introduce me to Arden's new circle of friends and how sweet that was and the prayer time - WOW! Peter, Ginny and Josh just moved to Kansas City, too and I wanted them to meet Arden. Turns out they will take the "IHOP introduction" 3 month class with her at the end of the month. It was a blessing to connect Arden with my friends whom I met in Budapest and visited in Kiev. IHOP is an amazing place and an intersection of the nations. There are so many young people here that it seems like a youth revival. I can see why God is leading older and more se...

Friday Night "Encounter with God" Julie Meyers leading worship I arrived Kansas City safely Thursday afternoon and I am enjoying wonderful fellowship with Arden in her lovely new home. We went to the prayer room Thursday evening and it was a time of intercession for the black community in Mississippi. I loved that as I had been to MS earlier this year to minister and I loved the church there. We also prayed for God to transform the hearts and lives of hip-hop artists etc. One real interesting thing was that they had about 20 people line up to intercede in a rapid fire type of prayer, each prayer only 5 - 10 seconds long. Friday afternoon we enjoyed worship with Mistry Edwards leading a team. Even with so many people it was an intimate time with Jesus. The above photos are from Friday evening which was "An encounter with God" at the church facility. Mike Bickel introduced an amazing woman named Karen who ministers to Arabs on the Gaza strip refugee camps, Jericho an...

Joined my friend Joan and a friend of hers to take a one day painting course. We walked out with a finished product. Here is a view of the process and the finish. Sometimes, it would be nice to get other projects finished so quickly!
