First strike

Praise the LORD for the first post! Let me introduce myself.

My name is Jess, I was born on August 25th 1976 in Busan, South Korea. I was found abandoned, but God had plans to release miracles in and through my life. I was adopted by a wonderful family in January 18th, 1977. (Had I not been flown to the USA at that time, it is most likely that I would have been dead within a week as I was becoming seriously ill).

I grew up in the Lutheran in the Twin Cities, yet I had an extremely violent temper. However, God spared my life yet again. In response to united prayer and fasting, I heard the audible voice of God in a dream that put the fear of God into my life (God-does still do this; see Job 33:14-30) This (eventually) led to me turning to Jesus. I dedicated my life to following Jesus no matter what on July 16th, 1990. One day later, God used this one-day old follower of Jesus to visibly someone's shoulder which touched off a significant revival.

Following these life-altering events, I grew up, hidden among God's people. I gradually grew in the character along with understanding in the prophetic, intercession, spiritual warfare, and worship. Meanwhile, I continued to have instances of hearing God's voice and seeing miraculous answers to prayer. In 2003, God CLEARLY let me know that I was to go to Kansas City.

Since coming to Kansas City, the frequency and intensity supernatural encounters (through His Word, verified through supernatural encounters) has increased. September 1st, 2007 marked 4 years with the International House of Prayer in Kansas City. As I commented to a ministry leader in the Charlotte concerning prayer, "I'm just getting started!"

To my parents Kerry, Carolyn; my sister Tina, and extended family in the Twin Cities, I am SO THANKFUL. Your love has made a miracle (and released many other miracles as well). I also want to send a special thank you to my ministry partners. Together, we are literally changing the nations of the earth!

It is my intention to use this blog to share important prayer alerts (with what prophetic insight I may have around the situation) and to share any major encounters I have from God that have a corporate message to the wider Body of Christ. I hope that this little blog is a great blessing to you as you carry on your ministry to God and to people.

Blessings from IHOP-KC
