A few new resources available…
January 4th, 2008
Later today we are making available a few more study resources if you are interested. You can find them here. What are they? They’re notes on these subjects:
1. Cities of Refuge - from the Joseph Company summit by the same name that I shared at in the fall. Is this concept a biblical one? Why would God establish this in the book of Exodus, and what purpose would a divine “pocket of mercy” serve in the days to come? I know that, for me, I get a little (just a little) bugged when this concept becomes a means of avoidance or escape for a believer that desires to be removed from coming trouble. In other words, this theological concept can sometimes be just as misapplied and erroneous as the “pre-trib rapture”; except that it’s a means for the post-trib believer that knows that the idea of a rapture before the coming trouble is unbiblical yet one can still be on the earth during the judgments of God and live in relative comfort and ease. The “point” in the days to come is to be unshakable, not comfortable, in the midst of great trouble.
2. The Pathway to a Burning Heart - or an introduction to Psalm 119 and the invitation of God to young men and women to be “cleansed in their way” in their pursuit of wholeheartedness in love for God. We’ll be posting the MP3 of this message at some point soon when we roll out our new IHOP-KC Student Ministries website. Side note: this new website will have a ton of content for students and leaders involved in Junior and Senior High School ministry - we’ll be announcing it soon.
3. Necessary Theological Components of the Prayer Movement - what are the components that serve our pursuit of night and day, unceasing prayer? How can we pray and not lose heart? The biblical components to a life of unhindered, empowered, continual prayer are found in Romans 14:17 - and I break it down a little bit for those who desire to lead others into a life of night and day prayer.
Hopefully we’ll get these posted for you by the end of the day! Enjoy!
David

Thanks David, that is very useful!
Last year I made a point to pray-read Psalm 119 (over a series of days) and it was one of the most rewarding things I have in the Bible… every two seconds I was yelling in my bedroom in rapturous excitement in response to revelation and out came my red coloring pencil.

I like the “NEW” GIFs by the new teaching notes. They definitely let everyone know that the notes are new. And your wife told me that you guys play Rock Band at Best Buy. I happen to rock pretty hard myself; we should go play it together… With matching headbands.

David,
Thank you so much for these. I appreciate IHOP’s heart for helping this movement take root in the earth in a big way. You have my deepest gratitiude. Are the corresponding teachings avialable for download at the mp3 store? I’ll have to check it out.
Funny thing, we have just been discussing cities of refuge on Zach Hensley’s blog, he had mentioned a prophecy that has been the catalyst for this idea. I had never hear about it, just thought it had something to do with what was Iin the old testement given in seed form to Isreal. It will be interested to study your take on it, and see how my concept fits in. can’t be too far off, maybe seperate aspects of the same thing.
Another funny thing, trying to tell people about all the facets of what IHOP is. Course the prayer room, but SO much more…. Anyhow, the new sight will be good for me. Thanks again for all your work in the Lord! Your fruit is aboudnding.

Dave - I can’t even express how excited I am to dive into these exact three themes. With a trip to Colorado next week to teach to the house of prayer in Castle Rock, this is the exact three topics on my heart to share about.
Gracias!
