In the closing service of our “Israel And The Church In The End Times” conference, Wes Hall, one the senior leaders at IHOP-KC gave a powerful message about the Nation of Israel, and specifically the Land that God promised to Abraham and his descendents forever. Most of us clearly understand that this land is the […]
It was Jeanne Guyon who once said “The Cross is sweet fruit, yet not sweet to our flesh but to our spirit.” Her quote is very fitting for the shift that takes place here in Revelation 6 and actually continues all the way through to Revelation 19. I fully understand why many preachers and ministries […]
Listening to preachers and messengers over the years that have been deeply impacted by the grace of God and have seen glimpses of His glory has motivated me to reach for more of God myself. One of the common denominators in these preachers is their preoccupation with Revelation 4 and 5. One friend of mine […]
On Thursday, May 16th 2013, Mike Bickle preached a great message during the “Israel And The Church In The End Times” conference about the glory of Jerusalem.

There are several passages that are mentioned to this Church by Jesus in Revelation 3:14-22 that are among the most quoted scriptures in the body of Christ. The phrase I wish you were either hot (on fire) or cold (frozen), […]
There are times when I am meditating on the Person of Jesus Christ that all of the sudden I realize He’s really real. It unexpectedly touches my heart and I am aware that He’s fully alive and totally engaged with me and my life. Now, I can surely understand how silly this might sound to […]
I have had the privilege of running in full-time ministry for nearly ten years straight with a few breaks in-between along the way. In the start of running full-time in the place of ministry I was enjoying the open doors God was setting before me. It seemed like door after door of opportunity continued to […]

The blessings and lessons learned are more than […]
