The Israel Mandate Conference is coming up June 5th-7th.
This is critical for IHOP-KC's overall ministry mandate. The other day God showed me that the Israel mandate is critical to making all of the other IHOP-KC mandates to work well.
Jesus clearly told all of us that He will not return to earth in Matthew 22:37-39 until Israel cries out, "Blessed is he (Anyone) who comes in the name of the LORD." Generally, Orthodox Jews are very hostile to the idea of Jesus Christ of Nazareth being the Messiah. Many of them view anyone who turns to Jesus like this as committing "high treason". Meanwhile, secular Israel is suffering from an identity crisis in which they would rather be like everyone else who is deeply prosperous.
It will take extreme trouble and pressure along with an undeniable apostolic witness by the entire Gentile Church (confirmed by widespread signs and wonders; wisdom that is mind-boggling, love that is stronger than death along with apostolic conviction) to provoke Israel to jealousy and then salvation.
God is raising up a worldwide prayer movement centered on the final inbreaking of His Kingdom (i.e. the 2nd coming of Jesus). Jesus will only come back when the whole Church from every nation is ready and invites Him. (Matthew 24:14; Revelation 5:9-10; 22:17.)
Are you ready?

IHOP 10 year anniversary
Tommorrow is IHOP-KC's 10 year anniversary and there is a special program at FSM.
It is going to be quite a rush to get to the meeting because there are 2,500+ people in the IHOP community and the building holds roughly 1,500 people.
IHOP-KC opened on May 7th, 1999. I remember that week pretty well as it was on that day (a Thursday) when the revival at Bethel College (where I was attending school) began breaking forth as a few hundred students gathered to pray- something unusual for that school at that time.

the glory of the 1st commandment
Over the last few weeks, I have been reviewing some of my most strategic prayer assignments that I have been involved in related to IHOP-KC.
All of them have "Onething" in common: They were all deeply rooted in a tangible expression of the 1st commandment.
You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength. This is the first and the greatest commandment. (Matthew 22:37-39)
In all of the special prayer assignment cases, God gave me an opportunity to love Jesus in a physical, tangible way in terms of time, money, physical strength etc. In every situation, God made his pleasure known after He empowered me to walk this out.
Q: What happens if a small group of people walk this out fully in a deep way? The world wants to find out!
