“He who has the bride is the
bridegroom; but the friend of
the bridegroom, who stands
and hears Him, rejoices greatly
because of the bridegrooms
voice. Therefore this joy of
mine is fulfilled.” John3: 29
In the early 90’s Mike Bickle had a
dream and in the dream the Lord
told Mike, “I am going to change
the expression and understanding
of Christianity” You may ask,
“what do you mean”? Well, some
of us see Jesus as only a master.
And that is part of who He is as a
King and Judge. But John saw
Him as a bridegroom, creating a
bride. He saw a lover. In Revela-
tion 2 Jesus says to the Ephesian
Church that they have left their
first love. Jesus wanted them to
remember the love relationship
between them and Jesus because
He wanted their whole heart!
Let us find our joy, hope and de-
sire to be Jesus. He says, “cast
your cares upon me for I care
about you.” He wants us to know
that His desire is for us! Only
when we see Jesus as a lovers will
we be able to fully obey Him.

“All of mans empty promises lie broken at Your feet Jesus, but You have never
broken one.” We, faithless and broken, have a faithful God! We don’t need to
work out of our broken human zeal! He will complete all that He has promised
and in His perfect time. Therefore, we can rest our weary hearts and say , like all
of creation, “This great God who has brought me many times from the miry pit
will once again renew my heart and cause me, in perfect time, to stand on the
mountain top.” I think this is truth. We can hope in the place of the valley be-
cause that’s the place where Jesus says, “though weeping may last for the night,
Joy comes in the morning.” This is a faithful promise. And it has been proven
many times, in my so far, short walk with the Lord.
This month has been a great month. I had an opportunity to spend time with a
pastor from India(which is currently a persecuted Church). It was a great bless-
ing, he was a model of humility and solidity in his faith. A very blessed time.
Also, I’ve been able to be a part of the post Sunday service prayer meeting. It’s
more of a soaking time than anything but it is a powerful ministry in our little
church of people who need so much healing and ministry(me too!). I truly love
entering into the Word in an environment where it is expected to meet with God.
Also, the Lord provided me with a brand new guitar. I was in need of a guitar
that would better equip me for ministry and worship and he provided through a
close friend. So...in the midst of all that, my heart is burning. I have such a deep
expectation to begin my journey in KC. I sense that time approaching and am
ready to begin to pour myself into this ministry unto the Lord and His body at
IHOP-KC.
I want to thank each and every one of you who have chosen to pour into my life
in prayer and financial giving. Your prayers are achieving their purpose and I
feel them helping to sustain me on the inside. Please continue to pray for fi-
nances for me. The Lord really has helped me through many of you in this area.
I have reached a monthly support level of $430 this past week and that’s over
$200 increase since my last letter!!! Praise Jesus! My goal is $750 so I am get-
ting closer each week. I have little cards that I am trying to send out with my
newsletters or a little blurb in my emails(if I email my newsletter to you) that says
that I want to truly partner with all of you!!! Please tell me how I can be praying
for you!!! This is important to me. I not only have a desire to pour into you but I
have a conviction to do so! Please let me know what I can be praying for. I truly
cannot express my gratitude for all of you. I don’t have the words to say how
thankful I am for all for you and the simple fact that you believe in me so much
as to be willing to pray and give financially means EVERYTHING to me. You are
an answer to my prayers. Bless you!
Love,
Douglas

Night Unto Night...Ministry Unto The Lord

February 2009-Page 2

1 John 3:20
“For whenever our heart condemns us, God is
greater than our heart, and he knows every-
thing.” 1 John is probably my favorite book of
the Bible. I have always seen it as a love letter to
those who believe in the Gospel and a letter of
contempt of court to those who don’t. So many
times I have run to 1 John for answers. It is
FULL of encouragement and 3:20 is one of the
greatest in the whole book. I read a commen-
tary on the verse and it says this: “If we be con-
scious that our love is feigned, we shall feel in-
wardly condemned in professing to have what
we have not. And if our heart condemn us, God
is greater than our heart, for he knows every
hypocritical winding and turning of the soul, he
searches the heart, and tries the reigns, and sees
all the deceitfulness and desperate wickedness of
the heart which we cannot see, and, if we could
see them, could not comprehend them;
and as he is the just Judge, he will condemn us
more strictly and extensively than we can by our
own conscience.” Why would I feel like this is
encouraging? Psalm 103:14 says that He knows
our frame; He remembers that we are dust.
And in Ephesians He says that He chose us
while we were yet sinners. So if my heart con-
demns me, I am not condemned! But, a faithful
friend, who sticks closer than a brother, who
knew all my brokenness long before I did, will
soon come to rescue me from it. And He is
faithful. So I am encouraged because there is
yet hope! We are not going to utterly destroy
our self but He has promised to help us over-
come. Not on our own, but by the blood of the
lamb, the door that is standing open in heaven!
We love you Jesus

My vision: I’m convinced that prayer is the primary, most powerful way we have to
impact the nations today. I do believe in evangelism and service (and, in fact, IHOP-KC
does have evangelism teams, traveling ministry teams, ministry to the poor, and many
other areas of service to the Body), but we need these activities to be thoroughly
bathed in prayer. What we need more than anything else in this nation is the power of
God. Only He can do what it takes to turn us around.

I believe that prayer is the primary means God has given us to enter into our authority
as believers. We can’t “name-it-and-claim-it,” but we can ask a generous God to do
what is on His heart to do. I firmly believe that God wants to partner with His global
church and demonstrate His power on the earth. In forcefully advancing His kingdom
as we pray, “come Lord Jesus, come.” I can say yes to standing by the Great Interces-
sor and war next to angels in the heavenlys. To say yes to the hidden life of the un-
seen and no to the wide and well traveled. This is my calling — to minister before the
Lord and to ask for His kingdom to come and His will to be done.
Prayer support…
1. Please Pray for preparation of my heart...i really want to give myself wholeheartedly to
the Lord at IHOP. That Philipians 3:8 would be my reality.
2. Continued Finances...I’m at $430 of my $750 goal! Only $320 to go!
3. A spirit of Wisdom and Revelation in the knowledge of Jesus. That I may know Him more
and more!
