Samuel's Blog

We made it!! Yes!! We made it and I CAN believe it, even though i am inclined to say the phrase “I can’t believe it”. But, in reality, I can. Why? Because I have a promise! The promise is Isaiah 54:13 “All your sons will be taught by the Lord, and great will be your children’s peace”. So, I knew I would make it to 2010 and that my son’s would be raised all of their days in the House of Prayer. Psalm 132:2-5 says “Surely I will not go into chamber of my house or go up to the comfort of my bed;I will not give sleep to my eyes or slumber to my eyelids. until I find a place for the Lord, a dwelling place for the Mighty One of Jacob”. This was King David’s vow to the Lord! In verse 1 it says David “vowed” to the Mighty One of Jacob. This is a radical reality even today on planet earth; that there are people alive who would make a vow to the Lord like this. That people would make a vow to Jesus simply because He is worthy and worth it.
I remember a conversation I had one time with a “critic” of the House of Prayer. He was debating me on all the reasons why 24/7 prayer was, in his opinion, “not scriptural” , even though I gave him many scriptures to support the “argument” for the House of Prayer. Looking back upon that conversation there is one very important thing that I should have said. There is one very major piece of information that I left out, in fact, it is the most important piece of all. It is that simple fact that Jesus is worthy!! He is worthy of people gathering in a little room 24 hours a day 7 days a week and giving Him adoration. He is worthy of someone giving their entire life to Him in this way. That someone would say, would “vow”, to the Lord that this is their occupation, just as King David did, and give themselves to non-stop adoration of Jesus, simply because He is worthy of it. Now this is something to be a part of.
But what  about the Great Commission? Well, I promise you, it is IMPOSSIBLE to do 24/7 prayer, worshipping the Lord in absolute adoration and NOT FULFILL the Great Commission. In fact, it will be fulfilled all the more. If you get close to the flame of love that is Jesus Christ and the flame get’s in you then everyone who you come in contact with will be impacted with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. They have to!
So, back to my son’s and 2010 and all that stuff. Yes, we made it! Yes, Elijah is 9 and Silas is 6 and Allison and I have been married 10 years and we have been @ IHOP-KC 3 years and my children are in the House of Prayer as a lifestyle and the scripture is true and 24/7 prayer is on God’s “To Do” list in the Nations of the earth….and and and and …

So… Go for it! He is worthy of it!

Big House

….that is, if the Lord called us there. And it’s not because of this castle either.  Though, we did get to go inside this very castle(which was originally built in 1250)and tour about 20 rooms of priceless art, furniture, war artifacts and other stuff, we even got to go up in that tall tower in the middle of the picture. It was pretty amazing. But, even though this castle was amazing and the many other cool places we got to go were awesome, nothing compares to the ministry that took place and the Glory that Jesus gets from the saints of the church in Germany.

We did meetings every night except Thursday and had an awesome time ministering to and with the people there. Our main teaching focus was on living a life of one thing (Psalm 27:4) and operating in the forerunner lifestyle and we built new relationships with some of the pastors and leaders that are wanting to build prayer ministries in their churches, homes and businesses.  One of the coolest meetings was  in my friend Peter’s auto shop (and the place is set up like, well, an auto shop) and the glory of God was thick in the room as we prayed for people, prophesied and ministered the word of God.

So, the missions trip was a success and we cannot wait to go back and see the German crew.

Well, we arrived safely in Frankfurt. Leaving KC @ 11am on a Saturday and arriving in Frankfurt at 7:30 am THE NEXT DAY is not much fun but over all it went well. Eli did not sleep a wink on the plane and Silas fell asleep 2 hours before landing in Europe, this makes for 2 cranky Moseley boys I assure you.

We were picked up by Matthias Kalder, my German Pastor friend who is hosting us, and we drove about 1o0 kilometers North of Frankfurt to a small town called Marburg. Matthias lives in Marburg with his wife, Dagmar, and son, Sebastian and they are church leaders in the region here.  It seems there are about 12-15 churches associated with their ministry and while we are here we will visit 3 of them as well as meeting with some leaders from other ministries in the area that are interested in starting a prayer network.  So, we are excited to be able to speak int o the church of  Germany and also excited in seeing what the Lord will do while we are here.

Please pray for many to get saved and come to the knowledge of jesus in the meetings and for the Word of the lord to run swiftly in Germany.  More to come later….

This my friends, is a VW Vanagon Syncro !!!

I do try, at least somewhat, during the day to update the blog and post about happenings in my life and at IHOP. BUT honestly, I find it hard to remember. So this is where the chips fall and all I can do is move forward and try again post to this “thing”. It is like some crazy beast, the world of blogging that is. If you do not have up to the date “news” or information most likely people will not read your blog, website or whatever on a consistent basis. We live in a time when information must be fresh or people do not even take the time to type in the web address. It is actually kinda interesting to think about. It’s like this: we have become so “up to the second” in the world of the internet that those of us who fail to provide the people with new information simply lose our influence. I mean, it is my fault though. I could search and type and post and do all that, but in reality it is just not me. I am a simple man… ahem…nevermind.
So, the blog. What is new? Well, Samuel Company is winding down in just 2 more weeks. Yes, on November 10th we will have our last evening of crazy(awesome)8-12 year olds. That night would be the night to come because those that memorized Revelation 4 and 5 will have a chance at recital and the grand prize will be revealed. No, I cannot tell you what it is. Then we leave for Germany on November 14th. Then I leave for Korea on December 7th. Then the one thing Kansas City New Years conference is December 28th-31st. EXCITING STUFF!

So, until next time when I might or might not fail to post to this beast, take care…

“Dad, can we play in the hose”? “Sure”. So it goes, little boys, a hose, a nice day and mud. Every little boy (and some adults like me) that plays in a hose are bound to see what happens when you point the sprayer real close to the ground and pull the trigger. It is so fun!! The water pressure digs into the ground and begins erupting back out towards you….thus, mud is sprayed in your face and, well, all over you. So, here are a few  photos of the boys for you to enjoy.

No, I did not name it bu Allison and I are directing it. Actually, I am not sure who named it but I know that God called Samuel at a young age so we are calling forth young “Samuels” in this day too. Yes, I have heard the phrase “Wow, you named a company after yourself” …among other. We will see who gets the last laugh.

So, The Samuel Company. It is an “intensive” for 8-12 year olds at the International House of Prayer in Kansas City. We focus on the 4 fold mandate of intimacy, end times, Justice, and intercession in thecontext of day and night prayer. We eat, pray, play, study, teach, listen to teaching, pray some more….you get the picture.

Samuel Company

The past 5 days i have: canoed about 5 miles on a river…twice, caught 47 or more fish, swam, painted war stripes on myself with mud, body slammed Eli and Silas in the water (their war stripes washed off), taught on 24/7 prayer to missionaries from… around the world, slept about 10 hours, purchased school supplies for E and S, left a sack of fish carcasses on Nate Wood’s doorstep. Let me expound on the sack of fish carcasses a little more. We went fishing and caught (and kept) a bunch of fish because Nate wanted to have a fish fry BUT he did not want to clean any of the fish. I agreed to clean the fish if he would cook them so we had a deal. The night we got home from fishing i cleaned fish in my backyard until dark but did not have time to clean them all. The next day I gave Nate a nice big bag of fillets and asked him to take the rest of the fish and either give them away or clean them (or something) but he would not take them and I was not going to have time to deal with them. Soooo, the story goes that Buzz caught on to what was happening and said “I will clean the fish” , which he did. So when I got home from IHOP about 7 pm on Monday night the bag of fish carcasses was in my back yard waiting to be thrown away. I waited until dark then took the bag (now stinking) to Nate’s house and left it on his doorstep, then I knocked real loud on his door and ran and jumped in the car and sped away. Juvenile i know, but it sure was fun.
Here it is Friday afternoon and another prayer meeting. Maybe this week will be as crazy as last week…who knows?
