“What we do is this — we sit in blue chairs, don’t eat, talk to an invisible person, hear voices and we expect Him to split the skies and rule the earth. Don’t they medicate people who talk like this?” Stuart Greaves, while trying to answer the question-”What do intercessory missionaries do?”
God called me out of darkness and into His marvelous light and I will be forever grateful.
I desire Christ to be fully manifested in and through me. I am after the 100% fullness of the baptism of the Holy Ghost. I will seek and pursue God all of the days of my life and love Him with my whole being. I have one message: He came, He died, He rose again, He’s alive in Heaven and He’s coming back soon! Everything else in life is secondary.
I am a revivalist at heart and always have been. I desire to see hearts set on fire with love for Jesus with spirits that are ALIVE and ABLAZE. I believe this generation to be overly entertained by lesser things and in general bored with God. I pray that people will have encounters with God that will change them forever. He desires to reveal Himself and I pray eyes will be opened to see Him in His glory!
As an intercessory missionary at IHOP-KC my primary call is to stand, serve, minister and burn before God. I have found that Psalm 84 is the perfect description of why I do what I do.
Psalm 84
How lovely is Your tabernacle, O LORD of hosts! My soul longs, even faints for the courts of the LORD; my heart and flesh cry out for the living God.
Even the sparrow has found a home, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young-even Your altars, O LORD of hosts, my King and my God.
Blessed is the man whose strength is in You. Whose heart is set on pilgrimage.
As they pass through the Valley of Baca, they make it spring; the rain also covers it with pools.
They go from strength to strength; each one appears before God in Zion.
O LORD God of hosts, hear my prayer; Give ear O God of Jacob! Selah.
O God, behold our shield, and look upon the face of Your anointed.
For a day in Your courts is better than a thousand. I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God than dwell in the tents of wickedness.
For the LORD God is a sun and shield; the LORD will give grace and glory; no good thing will He withhold from those who walk uprightly.
O LORD of hosts, blessed is the man who trusts in You!

Julia,
The Holy Spirit spoke as I was being update on your blog. He said, ‘Brian, let Julia know that she is making a profound difference in the Kingdom of God.’ Tell her not to sweat the small stuff ask me, Holy Spirit, how important each situation is and not let her emotions overwhelm her. ” Let me, Holy Spirit fill you with peace. ” We are praying for you Julia!
In His Abiding Presence,
Brian and Lynn

I just heard that Daniel & Levi’s little Emma died! But I didn’t receive any details. Do you know what happened? I didn’t even know that there was any health concerns for Emma.
Emma has been ill since birth and was being fed by feeding tube. I am not really sure what she had. We have only been told that she died and have been asked to lift Daniel and Levi up in our prayers. Please join us!
Great site!
i am a fan of julia palermo.
Blessing to you in Jesus!
I love your blog.
