Shelley Hundley, a teacher at IHOPU, had a vision of Jesus in 2002 in which He warned of judgment coming to America. He did not tell her anything about the timing or the nature of the judgment, only that the response needed among God's people was the fear of the Lord, the first commandment, and willingness to speak an unpopular message. NOTE: this episode is an exception for this podcast because it recounts a subjective experience that a person had, rather than a teaching drawn from scripture. The Bible says not to despise prophecies, but to test all things and cling to what is good. (1 Thes 5:20-21) I urge you to listen to this story and judge it according to that standard.
This is a talk that Mike Bickle gave all the way back in 1987, even before he was talking about the Bridal Paradigm. The topic is on how often believers live under guilt and shame not because of sin but because of unrealistic standards. There is tremendous wisdom in this talk. We all need to learn to accept mediocrity in many areas of our lives if we are to have an accurate perception of ourselves as God sees us!
David Pawson came to IHOP-KC in March 2009 and spoke on "Israel in the New Testament." This is the third talk in a series of three on the topic of Israel in the book of Romans. In Romans 9, Paul described how God had chosen Israel, and in Romans 10, he described how Israel has resisted God. David's title for the third message was "The 16 Surprises of Romans 11"
David Pawson came to IHOP-KC in March 2009 and spoke on "Israel in the New Testament." This is the second of three talks he gave on Israel in the book of Romans. In this talk, he focuses on the relationship between God and the Jews in the present. Although God had chosen the Jews for Himself in the past (Romans 9), in the present, many of them are stubborn and have been cut off from Him (Romans 10).
David Pawson came to IHOP-KC in March 2009 and gave 11 talks over the course of the weekend on the topics of "Israel in the New Testament" and "The 5 Covenants of Scripture." This is the first of three talks that he gave on Israel in the book of Romans. In this talk, he introduces the book of Romans, explains why Paul wrote it, and why the subject of the Jews is front and center in Romans rather than an awkward digression in chapters 9-11. Then he talks about Romans 9.
(Part 2 of 2) David Pawson is a British Bible teacher who has been teaching the Bible as the inerrant and infallible Word of God for decades. In this talk, he surveys how the Church in Western Civilization has been heavily influenced by Greek philosophy, resulting in significant differences in our attitudes and doctrinal emphases from what the Apostles (who were all Jewish) taught. In the second part of this seminar, Pawson focuses on what we need to do to be more Hebrew (that is, Biblical), in our thinking. In other words, if we're going to "De-Greece" the Church, we need to "De-Greece" ourselves first.
(Part 1 of 2) David Pawson is a British Bible teacher who has been teaching the Bible as the inerrant and infallible Word of God for decades. In this talk, he surveys how the Church in Western Civilization has been heavily influenced by Greek philosophy, resulting in significant differences in our attitudes and doctrinal emphases from what the Apostles (who were all Jewish) taught. As Pawson himself says, this two hour seminar is an inadequate and even simplistic overview of a vast topic, but he raises crucial topics that Christians cannot afford to ignore. As the Apostle Paul wrote, we must not be conformed to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of our minds! (Romans 12:2)
This is a teaching that Mike Bickle did in 2006 addressing the confusion that is rampant in the American Church today about the meaning of God's grace and whether God cares about our sin. There are some strong words in this message, but Mike's pastoral heart also comes through. There is a continual tension that must be held in the church between warning those who are unruly and upholding those who are weak (1 Thessalonians 5:14). In this message, Mike succeeds in doing both. Notes are available on the IHOP-KC website here.
Christopher West is a research fellow at the Theology of the Body Institute in the Philadelphia area. The Theology of the Body is a series of talks given by Pope John Paul II on how human sexuality points to the great mystery of Christ and the Church (Ephesians 5:32), and therefore, how we are to live in light of the purpose of our lives that is displayed right in our bodies. For those familiar with Mike Bickle's ministry at IHOP-KC, the Theology of the Body can be regarded as "The Bridal Paradigm for Catholics." (though it has great relevance for Protestants as well, and Christopher has spoken widely to mixed audiences.) It is all part of the Lord's plan to restore the First Commandment (Matthew 22:37-38) to first place globally so that at the end of the age, it is the Spirit and the *Bride* who cry "Come!" (Revelation 22:17)
Deborah Hiebert co-wrote the book The Seven Longings of the Human Heart with Mike Bickle in 2005. She was part of the IHOP-KC leadership team until a few years ago, when she and her husband moved to Idaho to participate in a new ministry. While returning to IHOP-KC in January 2009, she gave this message at the Friday night Encountering God Service. She actually does not talk very much about the 7 longings in her message (as she says, read the book...), but her story is powerful because she testifies to the reality of Jesus' good leadership and the possibility of keeping your heart alive in love for Him even while making life work with a family and children and ministry responsibilities.
A second talk from the same conference by Andy Comiskey, founder of Desert Stream Ministries and part of the IHOP-KC community. Andy talks about the power of sexual sin as an idol in our hearts, and gives shocking statistics about the destruction of American sexual morality. A woman from Desert Stream ministries also shares her testimony of renouncing romantic and sexual idolatry during this talk. It is time for the American Church to stop "faltering between two opinions." If Jesus is God, we need to serve Him and renounce sexual idolatry!
Andy Comiskey is the founder of Desert Stream ministries, which ministers to the sexually and relationally broken. In this talk, from an IHOP-KC conference in 2006, Andy, in his inimitable style, gives a forceful call for finding others with whom we can be real in the body of Christ. We are not to be foolishly transparent, but with wisdom, we must find trustworthy friends and tell them what's really going on in our hearts. Jesus can heal us, but He has given us to each other for a reason - we must find Him in His body!
Stephen Venable has become my favorite teacher at IHOP-KC. His message is consistent: intimacy with Jesus must be the focal point of true Christianity; we grow in intimacy with Jesus by increasing our relational knowledge of Him; and the way we increase that knowledge is by meditating on the stories of His life in the inspired record. It is simple, but it is profoundly powerful and profoundly neglected in the American Church today. In this message, Stephen looks at the First Commandment and provides a practical grid for how we engage our affections in loving Jesus wholeheartedly.
Stuart Geaves, director of the Nightwatch at IHOP-KC, gave this talk at Forerunner Christian Fellowship in October 2008. It is a timely and clear declaration of God's priority and plan to bring justice on the earth, as well as a critique of the contemporary social justice movement which is growing among both Christians and nonChristians. Teaching notes for this talk can be found here.
Ernest O'Neill, a pastor from the Minneapolis area, preaches a succinct and powerful message about the reality of the Gospel. In many contemporary churches, it has become common to assume that the Gospel is that we can be forgiven of our sins even if we never repent and stop sinning. O'Neill exposes this false teaching and calls us to the true Gospel - to trust Jesus means to strive to obey Jesus! For a transcript of this sermon, visit: http://a-clean-heart.com/cheapgrace.htm
This is a testimony given by a man named Bill Wiese who had a visionary experience in which God let him experience Hell for 23 minutes. He backs up the things he witnessed with Bible verses, as he appropriately checked his experience against what the Bible says. It is powerful, it is scary, and it ought to be strong motivation for all of us to make sure that we have sincerely repented and trusted in Jesus Christ, as well as to make sure that family and friends have heard an accurate presentation of the Good News about Jesus.
This is a teaching that Allen Hood gave at the Onething 2007 conference. The teaching is based on Matthew 9:13 (Hosea 6:6), and is about how God delights to give us mercy but it is a continual struggle for us to receive it. The most powerful part of this message for me was Allen's description of the indwelling of the Holy Spirit and His commitment to finish what He has started in me. The Holy Spirit is profoundly committed to my maturity. Praise God!
This is a wonderful teaching by Mike Bickle on cultivating an eternal perspective, based on 2 Corinthians 4:7-18. This was required listening for Forerunner School of Ministry students doing the Summer Early Entry Program this year. I think it should be required listening for every believer! Teaching notes from the IHOP website are available here.
Stephen Venable, a professor at the Forerunner School of Ministry gave this message at an Encounter God Service in April '08. It is an excellent teaching on what intimacy with God really is and how we grow in it. He discusses the distinction between the invitation to intimacy (God wants you to know Him), the overflow of intimacy (the joy and peace and pleasure of knowing God), and the actual substance of intimacy (relational knowledge of God). I believe this is the most concrete and practical teaching on intimacy with God that I've heard. (hint: it's all about Jesus!)
Stuart Greaves (Director of the Nightwatch at IHOP-KC) gave this sermon at the Forerunner Christian Fellowship in February '08. He recounts some of his personal journey in struggling with loneliness and then gives a powerful Biblical statement on what loneliness really is from the Lord's perspective.
