One of the challenges in the Christian life is to rightly value the place of hunger equally to the place of being filled. This beatitude in Matthew 5:6 emphasizes the blessedness of the hungry not the blessedness of those who are filled.

We need a revolution in our thinking with regard to the pains we experience in hunger for God. “Make yourself a capacity and I will make myself a torrent” (Saint Angela). God wants to give Himself completely to us! He doesn’t want to give us a ‘trickle’ on the inside (John 4:14), but a torrent. However, we must make ourselves a capacity.

This handout gives a brief overview of the "why behind the what" and the events of the end-times, culminating in the return of Jesus to the earth.

I spoke at onething Sacramento in early 2007 on this subject.

In this expanded document, Mike Bickle outlines Paul's prayer for the church in Ephesians 1:17-19. This is a prayer we pray often at IHOP and a prayer I pray often for myself. Paul understood the power of prayer and what the church needed the most - a right view of God, His glory, and His inheritance in us that would empower their hearts to live wholly devoted all their days.

This little one-page handout is one of the most succinct and clear outlines I have ever seen of living a life that is well-pleasing to God by walking out the Sermon on the Mount. The way we demonstrate our love to Jesus is by obedience, and as we obey He promises blessing on our heart in this age and rewards in the age to come. Mike Bickle outlines 5 practical things to do that involve our eyes, tongue, time, money, and heart connect with God.

Stuart Greaves is the leader of the nightwatch at IHOP-KC. In this handout, Stuart takes Isaiah 62 and Isaiah 42 and discusses the emerging global prayer movement as the precursor to the second coming of Jesus. He discusses it as a prophetic indicator and as God's solution to ultimately release "speedy justice" (Luke 18) on the earth.

Going on a fast? Going to break a fast soon? This document is something some folks at IHOP put together with helpful tips to beginning and breaking a fast, along with some of the typical reactions of the body to extended fasting. This document shouldn't be taken as medical advice that a doctor can give you, but it's got everything in a nutshell. Hope it helps you fast!
