Animal Food in Eden

4:44 of this video is when the statement is made... but try and listen to the whole video to get the context if you're able.

If you listen really close you can hear the birds chirping faintly in the background

A little bit of explanation to this seemingly random video. It seems that in Eden, before the fall, animals only ate green herbs. So why is it that every time we see pictures of dinosaurs (or other creatures) they usually look angry and ready to kill someone. What is forming our world view?

Some amazing quotes about Jesus

My Jesus, supreme and true God! 
What has drawn Thee from heaven to be born in a cold stable, if not the love which Thou bearest us men? 
What has allured thee from the bosom of Thy Father, to place Thee in a hard manger? 
What has brought Thee from Thy throne above the stars to lay Thee down on a little straw? 
What has led Thee from the midst of the choirs of angels, to set thee between the animals? 
Thou, who inflamest the seraphim with holy fire, art now shivering with cold in this stable!
Thou, who settest the stars in the sky in motion, canst not now move unless others carry Thee in their arms! 
Thou, who givest men and beasts their food, hast need now of a little milk to sustain Thy life! 
Thou, who art the joy of heaven, dost now whimper and cry in suffering!  Tell me who has reduced Thee to such misery? 

Awakening LIVE CD coming soon!!

Awakening LIVE CD coming soon!!The IHOPU Student Awakening which began last November here in Kansas City has birthed many songs and anointed spontaneous times of worship that have come forth while teams have been leading. This 'Awakening LIVE' album is going to seek to capture these moments!! Forerunner Music has been recording the Awakening services the past two weeks and will record one final time this coming weekend to hopefully capture what we're looking for on this CD - spontaneous, raw, LIVE and (hopefully : ) anointed times of worship.The CD will contain 12-16 tracks from me, Matt Gilman, Cory Asbury, Julie Meyer, Misty Edwards, and Laura Hackett.

Break off the funk

Do you ever feel like your passion and zeal for the Lord or vision for your life is a million miles away and a distant memory from yesterday? Do you ever wonder why many times you can go to bed feeling completely fine but then wake up just a few hours later feeling completely uninspired about your relationship with the Lord and somewhat despaired or confused about life in general?These kinds of feelings and emotions are tricky because many times these feelings come from an attack of the enemy, or maybe unrepentant sin, or because the Holy Spirit is gently tugging on our hearts saying, “Hey, it’s been a while since you’ve talked to me and that’s why you’re feeling this way!” However, there are also time’s when we just feel that way simply because that’s the way life is!! If we think about it, it actually makes sense. We are made in the image of God and were originally made to live on the earth in paradise.

Part 2 - God is a judge

A look at my worship team....

This is an article that Wes Martin just wrote for the IHOP.org blog. Wes oversees and gives the primary leadership to the Global Prayer Room at the IHOP-KC Missions base.A Look at Justin Rizzo's Worship Team May 20th, 2010 by Wes MartinThe International House of Prayer has many wonderful worship teams who serve faithfully and joyfully in the prayer room, year in and year out, with diligence and a prophetic spirit. At this morning’s 6:00am prayer meeting, Justin Rizzo’s worship team led us in intercession for revival on college campuses and for the salvation of souls in the young adult generation of America. It was a powerful set.
