IHOP-KC (International House Of Prayer in Kansas City)
This page will be dedicated to informing and updating those who anyone who wants to know what IHOP-KC is about and what is new around the Missions Base.
IHOP is a 24/7 prayer and worship house.
They are dedicated to preparing a young generation for the outpouring of the Lord’s Spirit in the Latter days, Joel 2:28, and for the return of the Lord in the end-times.
IHOP teaches young people how to live a life dedicated to prayer, a lifestyle of fasting, studying the Word, and living out a life based on the Sermon on the Mount.
IHOP teaches the whole Bible, but emphasizes learning about the end-times message found in the books: Revelations, Daniel, Matthew, and Zechariah mainly.
IHOP also emphasizes studying and meditating on the Song of Solomon. In this book is hidden the treasure of Jesus’ love for his bride. It gives you understanding into the love of the Father, and it is crucial to grasp so that we are not offended when the events talked about in end-time study begin to take place (Matt 11:6).
IHOP is a part of a world-wide prayer movement that the Lord is raising up throughout the earth. More and more houses of prayer are being raised up in cities all over. The Lord is serious about His saints raising up, coming out of the worldly lifestyle, getting serious about prayer, and doing what Rev. 22:17 says “The Spirit and the Bride say come.”
I will continue to update about future events, and I will continue to inform more about what IHOP believes and teaches.
Bobby Taylor at IHOP
The school that I am attending is called the Forerunner School of Ministry (FSM). It is associated with the church called the International House of Prayer (IHOP). I will try to briefly describe to you how the IHOP started, what the IHOP vision is, what I will be doing there.
In May 1983, the Lord promised the church leadership at Metro Christian Fellowship (Mike Bickle) that he would release and establish a 24-hour-a-day citywide prayer ministry. This ministry consists of continuous joyful worship and intercession in full expectation of God releasing revival that will bring in the Great Harvest. On May 7, 1999, the IHOP of Kansas City was officially established and dedicated, fulfilling a sixteen-year vision.
What is the IHOP-KC Missions Base?The IHOP-KC Missions Base is an international missions organization committed to:-Prayer – intercession, worship, healing, prophecy, and other expressions-Fasting – their fasting teams cover 365 days a year -The Great Commission – proclaiming Jesus to all nations with power as the way to establish His justice in the EarthTheir work includes equipping and sending out missionaries as dedicated intercessors and anointed messengers (who believe in Jesus Christ as the Lord and Savior regardless of denominations) who are working to see revival in the Church and a Great Harvest among the lost. IHOP-KC Missions Base Vision Statement:To call forth, and train and mobilize worshipping intercessors who operate in the forerunner spirit as end-time prophetic messengers. To establish a 24-hour-a-day Prayer Room in Kansas City as a perpetual solemn assembly that “keeps the sanctuary” by gathering corporately to fast and pray in the spirit of the Tabernacle of David as God’s primary method of establishing justice-full revival unto the Great Harvest. To send out teams to plant houses of prayer into the nations after God grants a breakthrough of His power in Kansas City. The forerunner spirit operates in God’s grace in context to the fasted lifestyle (Mathew 6) and prepares others to live in wholehearted love by proclaiming the beauty of Jesus as Bridegroom, King, and Judge.All of the full-time intercessory missionaries commit themselves to standards that are vital to the IHOP-KC vision.They insist on 50 hours per week dedicated service:-20 hours per week are allocated to assisting in the training of other intercessors, recruiting new churches to the ministry of intercession, presenting the vision of intercession through written literature and via the internet, and maintaining the administrative infrastructure. -Anywhere from 30-40 hours per week are devoted to the actual meeting in the IHOP-KC prayer room. Many believers from throughout KC area attend, as well as students at the FSM.I will be enrolled in a 4-year program at FSM as well as being a full-time volunteer member of the IHOP church staff. That will include the above mentioned 50 hours a week plus a full load of classes each semester. The school also helps you to establish a lifestyle that is dedicated to fasting, worship, prayer, and the study of the Word. As full-time “intercessory missionaries”, which are people dedicated to praying for the needs of the nation, the earth, and the people that fill it on a serious and dedicated and consistent basis, it is virtually impossible to work a secular job also.It is truly a place that brings us back to our first love, the first commandment. Matt. 22:37 says “Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.”
