St Patricks Day 2010 Parade

Published on March 20, 2010

This was a huge day of rejoicing for me and a bunch of Angels. I got to share the good news of Jesus with over a dozen people before the parade started. A few of them responded with a re-dedication to following the Lord, and one young adult prayed to give her life […]


The Tabernacle of David…how is that relevant right now???

Published on December 9, 2007

Mike Rizzo is a friend of mine here at IHOP.  We were discussing how fascenating the tabernacle of David was.  After hearing Mike Bickle (Dirctor of the IHOP Missions Base) speak on it several times my heart was stirred.   Mike Rizzo sent me a highlight of one of his studies…. I love it and wanted […]


Helps and Resources for fasting

Published on May 18, 2007

2 Chronicles 7:14:
If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land.
I have gotten a lot of responses about fasting so I thought I […]


Intercession 101: Help Lord! I need a higher vision. (click here to expand article)

Published on November 30, 2006

What does the vision for my life in Christ look like?  Since He lives to intercede for us and we are called to be like Him, what does that look like?    I know it is not to be a life of dry obedience.  With prayer that is simply empty repetition to a distant cold God.  […]


Intercession 101: Turn on the lights (click here to expand article)

Published on November 5, 2006

Turn on the lights (Ephesians 1:16-20)
Initially I understood the importance of memorizing and studying the prayers of the apostles. I’m called to be an intercessor…I have to at least know the basics right?  In the back of my mind I believed that once I get these down I would move on to more “advanced” things […]


Intercession 101: The affections of Christ (click here to expand article)

Published on October 20, 2006

If you watched any cartoons back in the 70’s you may remember an expression that went something like “sharp as a bowling ball”.   As I have spent some time praying through the prayers of the apostles I was struck by my own dullness of heart and the term “dull as a bowling ball” continues to […]

Intercession 101: Ever struggle on just how to pray? 
Lord, isn’t it enough that you know all that is going on and you will, according to your great mercy, take care of everything Yourself?
This past month we have been learning one method they use at IHOP on how to hold a prayer meeting that mixes worship, […]


The eternal course…(click here to expand article)

Published on September 20, 2006

Have you ever taken a course in something where you just don’t ever want the course to end?  I am in a Christology course, being taught by Allen Hood, of the Forerunner School of Ministry, and it is like that for me.  We are studying Jesus.  Sounds really basic and possibly boring you may think, […]


What are we here for anyway? (click here to expand article)

Published on September 13, 2006

I really struggle when I don’t understand the purpose of things… Why do I do this or that?  This past month a cry in my heart has continued to come out:  “Lord, why are we here?”  I mean really.  It seems all so pointless at times…we live to just work, love, squeeze in a little […]
