Mike Bickle teaches with amazing clarity. He teaches with authority, but in a very humble spirit. I believe he has great insight into the heart of God and a gift to teach the Bible and to exhort and encourage those who he ministers to.
That . . .
The International House Of Prayer (IHOP) in Kansas City began 24/7 praise, worship and intercession ten years ago and are continuing even now. Mike teaches on most Friday and Saturday nights. He is currently teaching on the signs of the times . . . signs and events that point to the return of Jesus.
This is That . . .

Deep Cries Out To Deep
This . . .
Misty Edwards prays, worships, and intercedes in a way that touches the heart of God. She expresses my longings, my desires and my heart cry to Jesus as deep cries out to deep.

Feasts of the Lord
No This.
No That.
This is That . . .
Post on IHOP forums by Jason.
.
Lev 23:1-2 - And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying, "Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, concerning the FEASTS of the LORD, which you shall proclaim to be holy CONVOCATIONS, even these are my feasts."
Hebrew word for "feasts" meant "appointment"
Hebrew word for "convocations" meant "rehearsal"
The first 4 feasts (Spring Feasts) pertain to the 1st coming of the Messiah.The last 3 feasts (Fall Feasts) pertain to the 2nd coming of the Messiah.
.
Here's a quick summary of the first 4 of the 7 feasts
1) PASSOVER- Pointed to the MESSIAH as our Passover lamb whose blood would be shed for our sins. Jesus was crucified on the day of preparation for the Passover, at the same hour that the lambs were being slaughtered for the Passover.
2) UNLEAVENED BREAD - Pointed to the MESSIAH'S SINLESS LIFE, making Him the perfect sacrifice for our sins. Jesus' body was in the grave during the first days of this feast, like a kernel of wheat planted and waiting to burst forth as the bread of life.
3) FIRST FRUITS - Pointed to the Messiah's RESURRECTION as the first fruits of the righteous. Jesus was resurrected on this very day, which is one of the reasons that Paul refers to him in I Corinthians 15:20 as the "first fruits from the dead."
4) HARVEST or PENTECOST- (Called Shavuot today.) Pointed to the great HARVEST OF SOULS, both Jew and Gentile, that would come into the kingdom of God during the Church Age. The Church was actually established on this day when the Messiah poured out the Holy Spirit
.
Now if Jesus fulfilled these first 4 feasts ON THE DAY OF THE FEASTS, isn't it obvious that He will fulfill the last 3 on the day of the feasts as well? They are in fact God's set "appointments".
But most of us westerners don't have a clue about all this because we live on the Gregorian (Greek) calendar and not the Hebrew Calendar (God's calendar).
.
Here's a quick summary of the last 3 feasts (fall feasts):
5) TRUMPETS - (Called Rosh Hashana today.) Points to when the Messiah will APPEAR in the heavens as a Bridegroom coming for His bride, the Church. The Rapture is always associated in Scripture with the blowing of a loud trumpet (I Thessalonians 4:13-18 and I Corinthians 15:52)6) ATONEMENT- (Called Yom Kippur today.) Points to the day of the SECOND COMING of Jesus when He will RETURN TO EARTH. That will be the day of atonement for the Jewish remnant when they "look upon Him whom they have pierced," repent of their sins, and receive Him as their Messiah (Zechariah 12:10 and Romans 11:1-6, 25-36).
7) TABERNACLES- (Called Sukkot today.) Points to the Lord's promise that He will once again tabernacle (DWELL) with His people when He returns to reign over all the world from Jerusalem (Micah 4:1-7).
.
Having now established how significant the Lord's Feasts are to the TIMING of His appointments, let's proceed to the really crazy stuff.
Gen 1:14,16 - And God said, "Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for SIGNS, and for SEASONS, and for days, and years...And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day (SUN), and the lesser light to rule the night (MOON): he made the stars also.
The hebrew word there for SIGNS really means SIGNALS for something or someone to COME.The hebrew word there for SEASONS is the same exact word for FEASTS / APPOINTMENTS. (not spring,summer,fall,winter)
So how is the SUN and MOON relevant to the end times?
- Joel 2:31- The SUN shall be turned into DARKNESS, and the MOON into BLOOD, before the great and the terrible day of the LORD come.-
Luke 21:25,27,28- "And there shall be SIGNS in the SUN, and in the MOON, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring...And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draws near."-
Rev 6:12 - And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the SUN became black as sackcloth of hair, and the MOON became as BLOOD.- Rev 8:12 - And the fourth angel sounded, and the THIRD PART of the SUN (partial solar eclipse?) was smitten, and the third part of the MOON, and the third part of the stars; so as the third part of them was darkened, and the day shone not for a third part of it, and the night likewise.
.
In light of those verses and everything else covered so far, it's safe to say that it's important to observe the sun and moon, especially in relation to the feasts.
Here's where it gets crazy.
A blood moon (lunar eclipse that causes it to look dark red/orange) is not very rare, but a "tetrad" of blood moons (4 consecutive ones) is quite rare. So then how rare is a tetrad of blood moons falling on the very days of the Feasts of the Lord?
Well according to research done by a Pastor Mark Biltz (research that I myself double-checked, I encourage you to do the same) there have been such occurrences lately.-
1948: Israel Re-Birthed. Blood moons on Passover and on Tabernacles on the following years- 1967: Israel recaptures Jerusalem. Blood moons on Passover and on Tabernacles on the following years(Passover and Tabernacles are considered the two "bookends" to the feasts.)
The last time there was a blood moon on Passover and Tabernacles previous to 1948?- 1492: Spanish Inquisition where all Jews were expelled from Spain, and discovery of America (There are also many reports that say Christopher Columbus was in fact a Jew from the Jewish family of Colum, but I'm not so certain about that.)
The next scheduled tetrad of blood moons? 2014-2015, and you guessed it, they will fall on the feasts of Passover and Tabernacles. And just to make it more interesting, that Jewish year happens to be a High Sabbath Year since 2007-2008 was the last High Sabbath Year.
.
But what about Mr. Sun?
Well it just so happens that there a couple Solar Eclipses scheduled for 2014-2015, and one of them happens to fall on another significant Feast...the Feast of Trumpets (shofar anyone?)
One of the big reasons this 2014/2015 "blood moon/sun & Feasts of the Lord collision course" has really caught my eye is because there won't be a blood moon on those feast days for another century (and we all should know by now that the Lord is returning this generation).
.
On a side note, here's a couple other interesting things about 2014 & 2015.- In regards to the gospel being preached as a witness in every ethic group, I've come across several reports that estimate the year in which we will have either a written or audio bible (since 2/3 world don't read) across the whole world will be by 2014. (not concrete estimates...but still interesting to consider).-
.
Also, if you look up in Strong's Concordance the hebrew & greek words associated with the number 2014 & 2015 you get:
Hebrew/Aramaic #2014 – hapuga = relief, stopping
Hebrew/Aramaic #2015 – hapak = to overthrow, overturn, turn around, change
Greek #2014 – epiphaino = to appear, make an appearance, show oneself; shine, give light.
Greek #2015 – epiphaneia = appearing, appearance; usually referring to the return of Christ.
.
In conclusion, don't take my word for all this stuff I've said, research it yourself.
Peace, Jason

Or a paragraph or two blog once or twice a week? . . .
Or both? . . . or Neither?

Bald Christians Are Fine With Me
This . . .
After shopping at WalMart, I was headed back to my car when I saw the "gather up the carts" WalMart guy.
I gave him a good look and said, "Hey, no problem . . . I'm glad to help out".
He smiled at me, said, "Thank you".
Then he gave me a big hug!
It was a warm fuzzy moment.
Literally. He was hot and fuzzy.
.
That . . .
12 trillion dollars of US debt.
If we paid that off at a million dollars a day,
with no interest added and no further debt,
it would take 34,000 years to pay it back.
Or say it this way,
365 million dollars a year for 34,000 years.
That's alot of debt.
How many millions make a billion?
How many billions make a trillion?
My water bill is $52.65
.
This is That . . .
It is not a good thing to make fun of or speak poorly of a man of God.
And it is even a more grievious error to put a woman of God down.
Even something seemingly unimportant.
Imagine that this one guy that God likes is bald.
Some kids see him and make fun by yelling out
"Hey, baldy, get out of here!"
I wonder how God would feel about that and what he might do?
.
ELISHA
II Kings 2:23
23 From there Elisha went up to Bethel. As he was walking along the road, some youths came out of the town and jeered at him. "Go on up, you baldhead!" they said. "Go on up, you baldhead!" 24 He turned around, looked at them and called down a curse on them in the name of the LORD. Then two bears came out of the woods and mauled forty-two of the youths.

Carts, Ladders and IHOP
This . . .
I went to Walmart with my daughter-in-law Amy one time.
When we got back to the car with our stuff, I didn't take the cart back to the cart place. She said that putting the cart back was one of her pet peaves.
One of my pet peaves is not putting the cart back.
My Dad always said that if you took the cart back to the store, you would make the "cart guy" lose his job. He didn't want the guy to lose his job for lack of work.
What do you do when confronted with two opposing pet peaves.
I took the cart back to it's proper spot, because making Amy happy is very important to me.
Sorry mister walmart cart guy, hope you can find another job.
.
That . . .
We have had a wooden 12 foot ladder at the shop for a long time.
Back in 1980 it was falling apart.
Good friends Max and Dora came to visit Mom and Dad.
Max is a longtime carpenter, and so he fixed up the ladder pretty good.
I started using the ladder for taking pictures about 25 years ago.
Football teams, reunion groups, graduating classes, etc.
Many, many photographs have been made from atop that ladder.
Everyone around would always ask if that ladder was safe (it was pretty wobbely)
Many times, several concerned for my safety would gather around and hold the ladder, saying things like, "Oh, My!"
We used that same ladder today to take a photo of the MHS Football team.
Taylor climbed to the top and took the picture, I held it steady at the bottom and said, "Oh, My!"
.
This is That . . .
The International House Of Prayer (IHOP) began 24/7 Praise, Worship & Intercession on September 19, 1999 in KC.
They will celebrate their ten year anniversary on the week-end of September 19 next month.
I am hoping to be able to go,
to review their 30 year prophetic history, ten years of 24/7 worship and intercession, and to hear the vision of what is yet to come.
It is all about Jesus . . .
His love for us and His plans to come rule and reign over us and the planet.
I want to be ready and help others to be ready as well.

The Biggest Day
This . . .
A really cold, really good watermelon, is really good.
On my home last night, I had a watermelon in the passenger seat.
My car kept beeping, warning that the watermelon didn't have a seat belt on.
Obviously, a watermelon is not a person.
What a dumb car.
On the other hand I guess an accident could cause the melon to projectile thru the front window and strike an unknowing person in the head.
Maybe that's what the car was thinking?
.
That . . .
Try to think of the most important day or days of your life.
Being born is pretty big.
I received Jesus when I was five - really big.
I can think of several noteworthy days in high school, sports, etc.
The day I got married was certainly important.
My children's birthdays.
.
This is That . . .
The biggest day for each of us?
Seeing Jesus face to face.
Looking into his eyes and realizing how loving, merciful and kind he is.
And then fully knowing our missed opportunities to live a life more devoted to Him.
I believe it will be a great and wonderful day, but also a day of regret.
Why didn't I live a life more devoted to Him and the desires of his heart?
I know how much He desires my heart to be wholehearted towards Him.
The minutes, hours, days, months and years go by.
Good intentions, but much time wasted.
Oh, that I would love Him more and more.
.
What about you?

I believe it will be a great and wonderful day, but also a day of regret.
Why didn't I live a life more devoted to Him and the desires of his heart?
I know how much He desires my heart to be wholehearted towards Him.
The minutes, hours, days, months and years go by.
Good intentions, but much time wasted.
Oh, that I would love Him more and more.

What about you?
