REVIVAL WATCH FOR IHOP-KC PART 2

Well this morning is real interesting...

At the 6am prayer time, the presence of the LORD broke into the meeting a little bit as Allen prayed on the mic. A number of people were touched by the anointing of God. Allen Hood has obviously had some sort of a visitation from the LORD over the last few days.

Then during the 10am set, a token of "presence worship" broke in as the tangible presence came forth. It was obvious to me that this morning was about restoring hope. God gave Bob Sorge Philippians 3:13 "Forgetting what is behind and straining towards what is ahead..."

It's obvious that spiritual hunger around the base is increasing for an outbreak of the Spirit of God in a serious way. On Sunday at the FCF service, people went forward after Daniel Lim preached. The main focus was that people were hungry for the outpouring of the Spirit.

I now want to turn to reasons why I sense this wave of the Spirit is coming to Kansas City- What does God desire to accomplish in the heart of His people (besides, the release of salvation, healing, and deliverance).

1. God wants to release the fear of the LORD to the nation. Psalm 119:38 tells us that God fulfills his promises (good or bad) that He may be feared.

2. Teach those who would lead in this and subsequent moves of the Spirit how to go in and out before the people (while maintaining the One thing being first)in the midst of honor, influence, pressure, wealth, controversy, and persecution.

3.Begin proclaiming to the earth about God's end-time agenda...particularly concerning the worship/prayer movement based on intimacy.

This is a significant wave of the Spirit that is coming but it is not "THE BIG ONE" (though it will feel like it!). With that being said, now is the time to position ourselves to catch this significant wave of the Spirit. However, we need to keep the "One thing" as the only thing that matters or else we will be "blown off course".
