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…

PROPHETIC DREAM ~ GOD’S MOVEMENT IN HOLLYWOOD AND ASIA ENTERTAINMENT
HOLLYWOOD WEST
On JULY 26th 2009 morning I received a clear prophetic dream about God’s movement in the media and entertainment industry in Hollywood & Asia. There were two parts to this dream and interpreted the morning I received them.
Dream 1 ~ The Rise of Asian Artists in Hollywood & Asia
In this first dream I was in a high-rise, state of the art two-story office building. The building structure was contemporary, posh and everything on the outside and inside was glass. It had an angelic sense and purity to the design and décor. There were colors of white and deep green, it looked like a Hollywood office building in Beverly Hills.
On the bottom floor was a water fountain, statues of angels and neatly designed walkways leading to the front entrance. Then there was an escalator to the second floor where much business activity was happening. As I looked around the second floor building there were posters, portfolios and digital screen shots of different actors, actresses and artisans. Immediately, I knew in my spirit that the office was home to an entertainment and artist management company. As I looked around I saw different artists (many from GBS our “simple church” community in Hollywood) and they were all actively involved in producing new content, meeting with clients, consulting and were meeting in different rooms of the office floor. I then saw a media team from NewSong Church in Irvine coming into the office to film a TV show for the web and they were meeting in another room to discuss the production of the web TV series. Interestingly, everyone in this office working we’re mostly Asian, people I knew and were all professional and passionately driven in what they were doing in the creative arts.
Then in the dream, my office assistant came up to me and told me that I had an appointment with a female artist who wanted help in the direction of her career. I stood upstairs waiting for her, but she never came upstairs. I then get a notice from my assistant that the young woman is waiting for me downstairs because she doesn’t feel worthy to come up to the top level to meet me. I thought it was odd, so I went down the escalators to meet this young Asian artist and her name was “GRACE.”
When I saw her, my heart sunk, because she looked so insecure in her demeanor. She was dressed shabbily and had her head down when she came to meet me. She told me she didn’t know if she was good enough to come upstairs and was ashamed to meet me in my office. I then knew in my spirit that this young artist had an incredible destiny in God’s purpose, but she didn’t believe it or know it.
Cultivating the Knowledge of God: 5 Conditions
BY MIKE BICKLE, WWW.IHOP.ORG
Proverbs 2:1-5 gives us five conditions that, if followed, promise to yield the fruit of the knowledge of God.
First, we receive God’s words. We set our hearts to walk in full obedience to Him. We seek to obey the voice of the Holy Spirit, for He is the one who reveals Jesus to us. We submit to His leadership in our lives.
Secondly, we treasure God’s commands. We do this by filling our minds with His words. We set aside time to meditate on His truth. We turn the Scripture into dialogue with Jesus so that we talk to Him as we read.
The third condition is to incline our ears to wisdom. We humbly open our hearts to have a teachable spirit and to learn from the Word instead of resisting its meaning. We lay down our biases to what we want Scripture to mean, and we accept it for its true meaning.
Fourthly, we cry out for understanding. We ask God for more revelation. We pause to ask Him for insight concerning His Word. If we ask Him, He will always give us more.
