All You Could Ask, and more...: September 2010

Psalm 121:1-2

I lift up my eyes to the hills--
where does my help come from?

My help comes from the LORD,
the Maker of heaven and earth.

Oh I look to the hills! How beautiful, how majestic, how mysterious! Who can know each crack and crevasse? Who can keep you safe when lost among them? Who can shine the moonlight upon them? Who can crush them to into tiny rocks and make them cry out! Only our God, the One who made them. Our Father has the power, the wisdom, the knowledge to move any mountain! He is our safe place, he is our helper! Jesus sent the Spirit of the Living God to help us, to comfort us, to lead us into the knowledge of the heart of God, the knowledge of the glory of God, the knowledge of the desires and demands of God! We give praise to Jesus because, as our God and King He has been merciful to us. We despised Him in our selfish sin, ignoring the all seeing Eye of God. Yet those very eyes, who saw us before we were even a thought to man, those eyes look upon us even now, just as we are. They look at us with great desire to talk with us, to hear from us our own desires and demands. God wants us to speak to Him about our heart, about the glory we know of. God wants relationship with little ol' man and woman. Yes, He knows our thoughts and needs before we ask. Before we discuss the longings of our hearts with Jesus, He knows. Yet still He loves to hear our voice, and His power is so great that He can have compassion even as we tell Him things He already has been working on fixing.

John 11:34-36 (New International Version)³⁴"Where have you laid him?" he asked. "Come and see, Lord," they replied. ³⁵Jesus wept. ³⁶Then the Jews said, "See how he loved him!" This weeping Jesus was about to raise Lazarus from the dead, and even though He knew this, as friends of Lazarus took Him to the grave where he laid, Jesus joined in weeping with them. Our Lord is compassionate like no other human. His compassion is Divine, unprecedented, pure, and rooted in deep love for you and me.

He loves to hear our voices! He loves to bring us comfort. He loves to partner with us to bring healing. He loves to bless us with miracles. He loves to give us hope and life. He so loves us!

(God says to us:)

     My dove in the clefts of the rock,
       in the hiding places on the mountainside,
       show me your face,
       let me hear your voice;
       for your voice is sweet,
       and your face is lovely. Song of Solomon 2:14

Dearest Friends,

It has been a while since I have sent out an update to my beloved support team. I am so blessed to have you offering prayers boldly before the throne of God on my behalf, and I have done so for you too! If you have any praise reports or prayer requests please send them my way via, text, email, mail, or phone. (702)460-1624.

I have been given the honor and responsibility to be an IHOP Media Producer for live broadcast. This means that I oversee the goings on that make the webstream of the 24/7 Global Prayer Room happen. I get to interact with each media team member in the roles of shepherding, encouraging, teaching, broadcast quality controlling and all that those entail. The teams consist of a director, a telemetrics (6 remote control cameras) operator, a sound engineer, and a production engineer. It has been a challenge to come out of the lonely sound booth, where I was mixing sound for a year, and start really growing in love towards people. I am only enabled to love others by receiving love from Jesus, and my heart is being enlarged daily to receive. I have realized how much I truly need to lean on God for everything! I am still mixing sound 11hrs a week, and doing producing 32hrs a week. I have also been blessed to work Wednesdays as a waitress to supplement my income, and they provide meals during my shift at this Chinese restaurant. If you come to visit KC we can dine for 20% off delicious dumplings.

My Sacred Trust (time spent in prayer and worship to God, in the Global Prayer room) has continued to be 12hrs weekly. I am so blessed that not only is my work worship unto the Lord, but it reaches the nations along with my prayers, and those in the prayer room. We are broadcasting live 24/7, 365 days a year on the IHOP website, and we also have many times that God TV takes our production live on their channel.

Australia

, Asia, Africa,

, Europe, and USA God TV viewers engage in worship and intercession. As I was getting the call from God TV’s headquarters in Jerusalem one day, I asked how many viewers see the broadcast. God TV told me they have about ½ billion viewers each day! This is exciting because the worship teams are singing forth those truths from the word of God, and Jesus is being glorified throughout the nations!

It has been amazing to see myself walking out confidence in God’s love and promises for me based on the word of God. His gift of truth has been page after page of life, and I have learned to allow Him more and more to be the glory and the lifter of my head. We have had many awesome outreaches, including Impact World Tour events, in the surround cities here and have seen many new believers blessed by the love of God. The IHOP Student Awakening services are such a blessing too! Many miracles of healing and deliverance every Thursday thru Saturday night have blessed us deep inside. Hearing testimony after testimony of the Power of God’s Love makes it more of a reality with each voice proclaiming, “Jesus loves me, that’s why.”

I am planning a ministry trip to Hawaii in November around Thanksgiving. I will be preaching at the Door of Faith church, and would like you to be a part of what the Lord does through me on this trip. Will you pray that I would be led by Holy Spirit to walk through the doors that God opens for ministry in Hawaii for me.

¹⁹ and for me, that utterance may be given to me, that I may open my mouth boldly to make known the mystery of the gospel, ²⁰ for which I am an ambassador in chains; that in it I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak. Ephesians 6:19-20

Pray that God’s Spirit would be poured out, and that His word would go forth in power, unto a revelation of His great love for the people.

You may have been called by the Lord to do work in the marketplace or in your own home, and I am a partner with you in praying for your calling. God’s desire is that we rally around each other and together fulfill the Great Commission. No matter what part we each play, together we can cause a great impact in the nations. I believe so strongly in the power of prayer. Just recently I prayed with my friend Ms. Linda in Hawaii that her brother would be cancer free, and he is! Praise Jesus! I am investing my life in prayer to touch the heart of God and allow Him to touch my heart. As a friend of God I can partner with our great Intercessor, Jesus, and see the nations come into His loving leadership. Under the leadership of God’s heart we find freedom from all fear joined with fullness of joy!

I commit to pray for you and your family, and any special requests you have. I commit to living a simple lifestyle based on God ordained principles from Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount. (Matt 5-7) I will continue to send you updates and I invite you to come visit and experience the International House of Prayer in Kansas City.
