Haiti 2010: RHOP Missions and Prayer

As I stood in the midst of the refugee camp I looked around and saw 56 people lying down on straw mats, most badly injured, most having lost at least a family member, and all of them homeless. The intercessor inside of me began to boil. I closed my eyes and began to associate my emotions with the people in their pain and with the heart of God in his love and his word. I was now stepping into the gap. Engaging the imperfect and the Perfect, being torn between heaven and earth. I hold this focus and wait

It was in this place that a song began to well up in my spirit:

“Oh, Haiti… Hear the word of the Lord! It is time to return to your lover!”

I began to quietly sing under my breath as the melody’s formed and solidified into a complete sound carrying what I was sensing from the heart of God. The more I sang the more confident I became. This is what the one who spoke creation into existence is singing over this land.

Then the atmosphere started shifting as true reality was landing and the wall of hopelessness was being broke down. The word of the Lord was cutting the cloud of confusion and the Presence of God began to sweep though the room…

This is what Haiti needs. prophets, intercessors, and worshipers who will shift the atmosphere and release truth into the land. Those who will come abandon themselves to enthroning the Ultimate estorer over this nation.

I am calling the intercessors!! IHOP! Burn 24-7!! YWAM!! All of us!

From this place of communion and intercession our hearts begin to line up with what the bible says is possible. Then quickly, the sick, homeless, grief stricken people in front of you seem possible to help because you are listening to the hope of heaven instead of the dispair of circumstance.

Power filled missions comes from communities centered around deep prayer both personally and corporately.

Haiti is in a desperate place as a nation. They will not ever recover if they do not embrace and commit themselves to Jesus. We need the intercessors to come and prophetically declare this truth over the nation. To come and usher in His presence to the refugee tents and the rubble covered streets.

Red Cross is not full of the Holy Spirit. Haiti’s Civil Protection is not full of the Holy Spirit. The UN is not full of the Holy spirit. We as the praying church are full of the Spirit and are carrying the heart of God in truth. Many are flooding the nation with aid and food and medical supplies but it is only going to be from the voice of the praying church calling for the intercessors! Haiti will never be completely restored by humanistic aid alone. It can only be transformed as Haiti as a people begin welcoming in the one who can make beauty from ashes.

Refugee tent tabernacles! RHOPS! Teams flowing straight from worship
and intercession right into praying for the sick, then out into
various places to serve!

This is not “plan b!” In the Long term, this is “plan A” for national transformation!

Lets respond as led by the Lord!

love you all
