TechnoratiBC: Wow! It seems you guys have created a really powerful culture of worship there at the International House of Prayer. It’s really amazing to hear how God is moving in different places in the U.S. You’ve mentioned to me that since it got started it’s really grown, and so where do you see God leading you guys right now?
Edwards: For IHOP, I think where we’re going is in leading a lot of people into a life of prayer. And a life of prayer is an end in itself, it’s not a means to something. So I think the goal of IHOP is to get millions and millions of people all over the world praying in this concert of prayer. And the Lord’s raising men and women all over America and all over the world with the same heart cry, to raise up houses of prayer in every city of the world. So again, it’s not a means to an end, but it’s an end in itself. Prayer is interacting with God, and it’s the point of our existence, and so the idea is to raise up all these houses of prayer that will cry out for the nations, that will weep between the porch and the alter in intercession, and that will weep before Jesus in adoration. So the idea of where we are going as a house of prayer, I just see it multiplying, and multiplying, and reproducing itself all over the globe, until there is a symphony of prayer. It’ll have many different expressions, all over the world. It won’t be just Kansas City’s expression, but the Lord is raising up places of prayer all over, and I just see it growing and growing all the way up until the Second Coming.
BC: Praise God! That’s such a powerful vision. I’m thankful to be able to get such insight into the IHOP ministry and how God is working in Kansas City. I know that you have to go meet your team pretty soon, Misty, but thank you so much for taking out some time with BREATHEcast this afternoon.
Edwards: Thank you too.
BC: I hope we’ll have more opportunities to work together with you and with the rest of your ministry. May God’s blessings be on you, and I hope you have really a beautiful time of worship.
Edwards: Thank you, so much. Take care.
