This month at our first Saturday silent siege of Planned Parenthood, I received a powerful encouragement.It was early and I was the only one there yet...One of the nurses came out to get something out of her car and said, "You people don't give up do you?"I don't know why, but this was such an encouragement and my response is an emphatic, NO!A famous Dutch reformer, Abraham Kuyper said, “When

There has been a shift...no longer are we a minority!Praise God!Recent polls are showing that more Americans are pro-life than pro-abortion. Lets keep pressing until righteous laws are passed!

As I was reading Matthew 20 this morning, in the prayer room, I was stirred with the story of the workers in the vinyard. If you remember, the kingdom of heaven is compared to a landowner who hired laborers early in the morning. He went out at various hours of the day and hired more. Finally an hour before quitting time he hired another group!At the end of the day, each one was payed the same

Today I am in the prayer room with faith in the ultimate victory of the Father's plans. However, I am also heavy of heart, knowing that too many believers here in America are blind to the holocaust we are part of.Nazi Germany, was a well educated, christian nation. Hitler was able to unite a nation with ideology that led to organized genocide. This was not an overnight change, but a day by day

Matthew 19:13-15 Then little children were brought to Him that He might put His hands on them and pray, but the disciples rebuked them. But Jesus said, "Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them; for of such is the kingdom of heaven." And He laid His hands on them and departed from there.I was down in Washington D.C. this summer for a national day of prayer and fasting. There was

Well, we have finished 170 hours of night and day prayer for revival in our hearts, our city, America, and the nations of the earth!It was incredible, the way the people of God came together for prayer! We easily covered all 170 hours of prayer and the testimonies are awesome!If you were a part of this week of prayer, please take time to post a reply with your testimony of your experience in the

I have heard it said that, "the only lesson we learn from history is that we do not learn from history." This is probably, mostly true!As we look back on the history of the nation of Israel, it would be wise for us to learn from their pattern of walking with God. There were many cycles of Sin, Slavery, Supplication, and Salvation in thier national history!God knew this well, and in 2 Chronicles 7

Greetings All! I have been stirred this past week by king David. What an amazing man. He was known to step boldly into priestly functions, yet was not of the sons of Aaron. He was also an amazing "apostolic" leader in his day!This man carried such a zeal for the presence and power of God that he financed 4,000 singers and 288 musicians to stand before God's presence and commemorate, thank and

This morning as I was in the prayer room reading the book of Matthew I was again apprehended by the value of sowing in prayer and fasting. I was reading chapter 17 and the story of the father who brought his son to the disciples for deliverance "jumped off the pages" to me. In verse 19, the disciples question is "Why could we not cast it out"? Jesus' answer was simple enough, "Because of your

Matthew 25:20-23So he who had received five talents came and brought five other talents, saying, 'Lord, you delivered to me five talents; look, I have gained five more talents besides them.' His lord said to him,'Well done, good and faithful servant; you were faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord.' "He also who had received two talents

I am excited to announce that RHOP will be moving to our own building in the month of January. Reading DOVE Christian Ministry has been graciously giving us a room to use for the past couple of years. This has been an amazing gift! We will still maintain our office in their building, but the prayer room will be moving to 1228 Windsor St. Reading,PA 19604.This new location is a one room building

We are excited to be joining with our friends in Birdsboro this Sunday night. Several churches are joining together to host the RHOP. We will be praying for them specifically as well as the Greater Reading Region, America, and the nations of the earth!I am stirred with hope as I look at what God is doing in our region...many places lack of kingdom relationship drives church to compete with church

Sunday Night we had the privelidge of meeting together at Hope Of The Nations Christian Center on N. Fifth St. We had one of the most amazing nights of prayer I can ever remember as we stood together in unity for the purposes of God and for the church leaders He has blessed us with in this region!One of the prayer focuses as we interceded for and with our leaders was the idea of each church

Evidently, I missed a great intercession set...one of our teams started a ("amazing" or "corny" depending on your viewpoint) chorus near the end of the set, declaring that, "God is great in 2008"!While you are entitled to your own opinion of this chorus, it rings true with my sense of what God wants to do in our city and county this coming year. While God always has, and always will be great,
