Many of you are aware of the recent happenings here in Kansas City at the International House of Prayer’s school of ministry, IHOPU. But, if you’re not, julestompkins.com isn’t too keen on secrets, so let me fill you in…

November 11

Last November, some significant things began to take place in a first-year IHOPU class. The Holy Spirit began to stir students in a significant way. As His presence increased, students were set free from a whole assortment of issues–– eating disorders, depression, self-hatred, suicidal thoughts, bitterness, anger, shame, and more. Physical healings, too, began to take place that day.

What began on November 11 at IHOPU has yet to cease, resulting in over 1000 baptisms, hundreds of salvations, and an innumerable amount of physical and emotional healings. Since November 11, every Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday (save a few holiday interruptions), IHOPU hosts a six-hour Student Awakening meeting. At each meeting, there has been a heightened sense of the Lord’s presence and more and more testimonies are recorded each night and thousands of visitors have made their way to Kansas City to experience this move of God.

Bizarre things have happened. We’re talking healing from dyslexia (more than a fwe few times), porn stars saved, healed, and delivered, freedom from decade-long eating disorders, and deliverance from drug and alcohol addictions. People have been set free from same-sex attraction and addiction to pornography. Individuals who were raped or molested as children have been restored and set free from shame, forgiving their offenders. And, my own fiancé was healed of a benign tumor, which literally dissolved completely after some girls prayed for her in IHOP’s Global Prayer Room.

Truly, this move of God has been remarkable. Click here for a video of the highlights so far. You can also view all of the testimonies on IHOP’s YouTube channel.

Just in Time

Last September, one of IHOP’s key leaders, Daniel Lim, shared a message that called praying people across the nation to contend for revival in America. In the message, he shared some staggering statistics. Only 4% of those born in 1984 or later, he shared, are currently Bible-believing, churchgoing Christians. This is down from 65% of those who were born between 1927 and 1945 and 35% of those born between 1946 and 1964. (An excerpted article of of the message can be found here).

Now, at America’s doorstep seems to be one of two fates: complete apostasy or revival. At IHOP, we’re believing for the latter.

What if the Lord duplicated the move we’re experiencing here? What if it caught fire and similar moves began on other college campuses across our nation?

Daniel Fast

Yesterday, our community began a 40-day Daniel Fast*. After some collaboration and confirmation, our leaders called the IHOP community, along with ministries and campuses nationwide, to spend 40 days in fasting and prayer for revival in America. Immediately, there was agreement from many of our nation’s key Christian leaders and they called their spheres to the fast, as well.

Below is a video that gives further explanation to the fast. I encourage you to watch it.

IHOPU’s third and fourth year students are in Boston–– the city with a more concentrated number of higher education institutions than anywhere in the world–– for the next 40 days, praying and fasting for the Lord to turn the hearts of America back to Him. For more information on this, visit jhopboston.com.

If you’re intrigued by the 40-day Daniel Fast, join in. You didn’t miss the starting gun… Start now. And start however you’d like–– if it’s coffee, sweets, Facebook, or television, He’ll take your sacrifice. You, too, can ask the Lord to turn our nation around.
