UNDER THE BRIDGE

Today, I was stopped twice by two different pan handlers on the street. One in J-Town and the other by Studio City under a bridge. The first man, honestly got right up to my car as I was driving to a destination. But something in me felt I needed to turn back and help him out. So I turned my car around, found him walking down the street and gave him some change. He told he used to be part of some popular funk band, our talk was brief but I was glad I turned around to show him some love and attention.

The one that got me later was when I met George off the exit. Sometimes, the best way to love someone on the street is not just to give them money, but to give them honor. To actually stop and listen to their story and get to know them as a human being. It was heart wrenching, but George in our time together told me that he had been sleeping under the bridge for over 2 years. He can’t find a job, and he’s stuck out on the streets with no luck. He’s waiting for his girlfriend to come out of jail and I could see this sadness in his eyes that was almost hopeless. Yet, we gave each other’s blessings & he kept telling me God bless you, God bless you bro! Well, thank you George…  Read more...

IHOPU OUTPOURING OF THE SPIRIT

As many of you know, I have been connected with the International House of Prayer for nearly 10 years. Their passion has always been obeying the Great Commandment in order to fulfill the Great Commission through night and day prayer & worship. I have been praying for God to move in Kansas City with revival and an in break of the Holy Spirit’s power for years… now it is happening. Historically, nearly every revival began with university students confessing sin, repenting and seeking God for spiritual awakening in their generation. I’m not surprised that it is happening once again, this time at IHOP University… I believe the faithfulness to night and day prayer for now 10 years at IHOP is being answered with a move of the Spirit that will release thousands of students around the world in missions… read below on how the outpouring happened… In fact, the Spirit broke in on my birthday 11/11 which has always been a prophetic number for spiritual awakening (John 11:11, Revelation 11:11) lets keep praying and expecting for more of God…
