FROM THE DIRECTOR'S DESK...
In 2 Peter 3:1-2, the Apostle Peter reminds his readers of the imminent return of our Lord Jesus Christ. Our intent and emphasis is to use the tool of reminder by bringing to our attention prophetic words that have been given and valued as words of the Lord to the IPHC. These declarations, considered divinely inspired, offer valuable insights into God's plans.
In the coming months, we will present several of these prophetic messages for your consideration. We encourage you to approach them with prayerful discernment and open hearts. Let us seek the guidance of the Holy Spirit, both individually and corporately, as we anticipate the fulfillment of these prophetic words.
GOD'S SECRET WEAPON.
"The IPHC has been kept as a secret weapon for the end time! God says you are to sing over your barren places (Isaiah 54:1-4). Have great faith, and as you sing, you will experience a great time of enlargement. The physical size of your churches will explode. Those of 100 will become 500, and those of 1,000 will become 5,000. The devil is going to be shocked!
You have felt like Job, but you are coming out to a large place! Go forward, not backwards. Resist hopelessness and heaviness. Be loosed, for I am a God who brings refreshing joy and peace. Satan will not have your finances, life, or ministry; you will see a breakthrough! Yes, keep pressing forward, and you will see tremendous victory (Song of Sol. 2:11-12)
There is a day when the battle turns. Keep standing, for there is destiny in your hearts even as for David who served the purpose of God in his generation (Acts 13:36). You must know this! Even in your later years, you will fulfill all the purposes of God. (Psalms 71:17)
Keep a tenacious faith, for I will do a new thing, and it shall spring forth (Isaiah 43:19)! Don't die with the old. Be willing to receive the new. Be open to transition. There is a road in the wilderness, and I will pour out streams, even gushers, on your deserts. Move with Me, even as Elijah from the brook Cherith to the widow's house in Seraphath, and even as Abraham who went up the mountain to slay Isaac but obeyed when I spoke a second word that released his miraculous provision. Gain courage for change.
Some of you are being called to a sabbatical. Rest is one of My commandments; failure to rest brings captivity. My rest equips you for greater things. IPHC enter your Sabbath rest, and I will supply for all your needs!
PRAY for the victory and blessing of seeing these promises fulfilled in every local church. SING over the barren places in your own life, for your family, your church, your city, your nation. Ask God for a song.
Sing in intercessory faith. Sing your way to miracles...for His house shall be called a "house of prayer for all nations," an "intercessory song!" Make this a month of intercessory song."
These prophetic words were spoken to the IPHC through Cindy Jacobs during the 23rd IPHC quadrennial conference in Kansas, City, MO, on August 9, 1997.
