Grateful

Well, Seattle was a success and many people were touched by the Lord. It is  funny though how we go places and minister and almost take for granted the awesomeness that is IHOP-KC. What I mean is, what we do everyday as a lifestyle others are blown away by. Simple prophetic words of encouragement or the Forerunner message are life altering things and I forget how much people get touched when they hear it for the 1st time. People really are greatly encouraged by the fact that there is a small band of radical Christians in the Mid-West (one place among many in the World) who give themselves to radical lifestyles of wholehearted devotion to Jesus. I need to remember how blessed I am to be surrounded by such wonderful “sharpening stones”.

I have been observing others (as well as myself) and their walk through this “Intercessory Missionary” profession here in KC and  I think I have pinpointed the time it takes to actually get the message in you where one is a voice and not an echo. I would say about 2 and 1/2 years would be a safe bet for “adapting” to the waters here.  My family has been here 2 and 1/2 years this month and I feel (for the 1st time) pretty confident that  I can communicate the Forerunner message at least somewhat effectively :) . It is IMPORTANT to be able to communicate a message clearly and with  conviction so others will go with you on the journey to find out the why behind the what of a Forerunner and the destiny of Forerunners in the age the Lord returns.  So, when I was communicating this very thing to a group of Korean teens in Seattle this past weekend they were suddenly struck with the fact that they are this and He is coming and we MUST do something about it.  The light bulb went off and I was there to see it light up.  When I let my new friend Chris (a 16 year old Korean American  from Seattle) hear Misty’s song ” People get ready, Jesus is coming” and he was like “This stuff is AMAZING, Jesus really is coming soon!!!” I just sat back and thought to myself; ” I love what I do” .
