아이합(ihop) 부흥(성령의 각성운동)이 대추수의 역사로 이어지기를 바라며...
2009년 11월 초부터 시작된 아이합(ihop 국제기도의 집) 성령의 역사는11월 11일 9시에 시작된 수업시간에 강하게 역사하기 시작하여 그날 밤 자정까지 15시간이나 지속되었고 지금까지 계속되고 있다.
캔사스 시티의 ihop 국제 기도의 집에서 일어나고 있는 성령의 각성운동을 보면서 많은 것을 생각하게 된다. 하나님의 특별한 훈련계획 속에서 ihop에서 6개월정도 기도하면서 작년 이 때 쯤 늘 은혜받던 그 자리에서 일어나고 있는 성령의 역사 때문인지, 아니면 이번의 성령의 각성운동이 기도해 왔던 마지막 대추수의 성령의 역사, 부흥의 역사의 하나의 봇물과 도화선이 될 수도 있다는 소망 때문인지, 현재 ihop 국제기도의 집에서 일어나고 있는 성령의 각성운동을 통해 앞으로 주님께서 어떻게 일하실지 정말 기대되고 흥분이 된다.
이러한 성령의 각성운동이 캔사스 시티에 머물지 않기를 바라는 마음으로 얼마 전에 지인들에게 이메일을 통해 아이합 부흥에 대해 알렸다. 아이합 홈 페이지의 간증 코너에서 볼 수 있지만 이러한 성령이 역사가 캔사스 시티뿐만 아니라 현재 웹스트림을 통해 전 세계에서 동시에 일어나고 있다. 그러기에 더욱 가난한 마음으로 어느 지역에 있든지 동영상을 보는 것으로 그치지 않고 함께 간절한 마음으로 기도하며 성령의 역사를 간구할 때 동일한 회복과 치유와 부흥의 역사를 허락하실 것을 믿게 된다.
요즘은 시간을 내어 가능하면live 웹스트림을 보면서 집회에 참석하고 있다. 시간이 갈수록 성령님의 기름부으심이 강해 지는 듯 하다. 다양한 내면의 문제들, 상처들, 중독, 육신의 질병 등으로 자유케 되며 기쁨의 강물에 온전히 잠겨 있는 듯한 많은 이들을 보면서, 계속적으로 생각나는 말씀이 있다.
"그러므로 아들이 자유케 하면 너희가 참으로 자유하리라"(요8:36) 말씀과 "주의 성령이 내게 임하셨으니 이는 가난한 자에게 복음을 전하게 하시려고 내게 기름을 부으시고 나를 보내사 포로 된 자에게 자유를, 눈먼 자에게 다시 보게 함을 전파하며 눌린 자를 자유케 하고 주의 은혜의 해를 전파하게 하려 하심이라 하였더라"(눅4:18,19)는 말씀이다. 성령 하나님을 만난 사람들은 모두 자유를 선포하고 있었다. 예수님을 주님과 구세주로 영접하는 사람들, 율법주의와 종교의 영으로 자유케 된 사람들, 마약과 담배 등 다양한 중독으로 자유케 된 사람들, 정죄감, 자기증오 등 다양한 내면의 상처와 아픔으로부터 자유케 된 사람들, 여러가지 육체적 질병으로 치유된 사람들, 심지어 웹스트림을 통해 폐암이 치유된 사람, 그리고 다른 지역과 캠퍼스에서의 성령님께서 다양하게 일하시는 간증은 모두 자유케 하는 아들 예수님의 역사를 선포하고 있다. 그들은 모두 주님이 주신 주체할 수 없는 기쁨 때문에 흐느끼고 심지어 몸에 심한 경련도 일으킨다. 웹스트림을 보면서도 하나님을 만난 사람들의 말할 수 없는 감동과 자유함이 나에게도 밀려온다.
올 9월에 아이합이24시간 365일 중보기도하며 예배드린지 10년이 되었다. 웨일즈 부흥을 위해 이반 로버츠가 10년간 간절히 기도했을 때 상상못할 정도의 부흥의 역사가 일어난 것 처럼, 아이합에서 10년 동안 부흥을 위해 기도해 왔는데 성령의 기름부으심의 역사가 일어나고 있다. 주님의 오심이 점점 가까워지는 이 때에 요엘2장의 예언의 말씀이 성취되기를 끊임없이 기도하게 된다.
"그 후에 내가 내 신을 만민에게 부어 주리니 너희 자녀들이 장래 일을 말할 것이며 너희 늙은이는 꿈을 꾸며 너희 젊은이는 이상을 볼 것이며 그 때에 내가 또 내 신으로 남종과 여종에게 부어 줄 것이며
내가 이적을 하늘과 땅에 베풀리니 곧 피와 불과 연기 기둥이라 여호와의 크고 두려운 날이 이르기 전에 해가 어두워지고 달이 핏빛 같이 변하려니와 누구든지 여호와의 이름을 부르는 자는 구원을 얻으리니"(요엘2:28-32a)
마지막 때에 오순절 이후 만민에게 또 한번의 성령의 부어주심을 통해 자녀들이 예언을 하며, 젊은이들이 비전을 보며 하늘과 땅에 이적이 일어나고 대추수의 역사가 있게 되기를 소원한다. 아이합에서 일어나는 성령이 각성운동이 지구촌 구석구석에 일어나 병든 영혼과 사회를 고치고 회복하며 수많은 영혼들이 주께 돌아오는 역사가 있기를 간절히 기도한다.

Testimonies
Freed from Despair and Depression
During the webstream tonight when you were calling out for freedom from despair and depression I was just overcome with tears from the Holy Spirit as God lifted these burdens off me. About four years ago I was to the point in my life that I just wanted to die because I was so depressed. I have moved past this, with the help of God, but never really felt such freedom from it until tonight.
Grief Healed
I was watching over the web on 26th November. The power of God came upon me and pains in my chest were healed. God has healed the grief in my heart. Thanks guys for going with the Holy Spirit! Freedom! Jesus! Hephzibah! Beulah! Glory to God. The presence of God was so strong.
Move of the Holy Spirit on YWAM Campus (Honolulu, HI)
We have been playing the webstream in our prayer room and it has affected the whole youth with a mission Honolulu campus. We have seen many of our students delivered of eating disorders and self-hatred. We have also seen a move of boldness over everyone on the campus to minister and call out things in each other. Thank you for making this webstream available to everyone in the Body of Christ!
God’s Presence Felt (Sydney, Australia)
I been so amazingly blessed by this webstream! I have been so captured and wrapped up in the presence of God that so tangibly spreads through the webstream. I have been worshiping along with like crazy, I have laughed, cried, shouted and been filled again with joy. It is activating evangelism within me and I just love it. I have been so deeply touched by the freedom in this place. Hallelujah :) I praise Him for all of it and thank you for keeping the webstream open for all of us. Keep digging the wells, we want to see it flow. Yeah!
Salvations at Men’s Correctional Facility
We had a day of ministry at a correctional facility holding inmates. A room of 25 men heard the Gospel and personal testimony. When they were asked if they wanted to accept the Lord or rededicate their lives, ALL 25 men stood and recited the sinners prayer!
Move of the Holy Spirit (Texas A&M)
I’m a senior at Texas A&M University and a leader of a prayer ministry on campus. A group of us were watching the webstream and a spirit of intercession came on me and I was in travail for souls, shaking and weeping, for about an hour and a half. I saw a vision of the Lord raising up burning fires all over the campus of Texas A&M. The Lord is raising up prayer, evangelism, and pouring out power over our campus. That same night we prayed for a lady and she was instantly healed of asthma! God’s been pouring out dreams and visions like crazy. And He’s raising up a House of Prayer here in Bryan/College Station, TX. Pray for fire to fall in our land!
Physical Healing: Migraine
On Saturday night Wes had a word of knowledge concerning someone who was alone, sitting in their bedroom and couldn't come to be at the outpouring and that person had a migraine headache. I truly needed a touch from the Lord on Saturday and He showed up in love to heal me. Normally I take medication to relieve the migraine pain because my migraines last 2 or more days at a time, but this time I wasn’t compelled to take any medication all day. The pain was unbearable but when Wes called out that word of knowledge, I knew the Lord was looking into my bedroom and was speaking to me personally. My migraine reduced approximately 50% and then after watching the outpouring I decided to go to bed. When I woke up this morning, I heard the Lord say, check your head. The migraine was completely gone! I am thankful that Jesus is so faithful, Hallelujah!
Salvation
Saturday night my mother came to visit for my birthday. During my birthday dinner my friends were prophesying over her and the Holy Spirit filled my apartment and she came to know the Lord. She said yes to Jesus! I was the only believer in my whole family. Thank you, Holy Spirit!
Deliverance and Emotional Healing (Colorado Springs, CO)
I had plans to go out for a friend’s birthday but felt the Holy Spirit leading me to stay home. I turned on the webstream hoping for good music for devotional time with the Lord. As the woman who grew up as a pastor’s kid was sharing her story, my heart began to ache as I realized the dryness of my heart and my slavery to performance and the fear of man. I fell on the floor and wept and wept and wept. Tonight I had an encounter with the Holy Spirit unlike anything I had ever experienced and have been commissioned to be a bold proclaimer of the gospel. I was of those who were spoken of who have been so dry for so long, and I was delivered tonight! I have been delivered from the bondage of performance! I have been delivered from the fear of man! I feel as thought my heart has been made new.
Move of the Holy Spirit (Wheaton College)
In our dorm tonight at Wheaton College, we were watching the webstream. The warmth of the love of God filled the room. We prayed fervently as He released His Spirit of intercession upon us. His kindness led to repentance and we experienced a breakthrough that has never occurred before!
Move of the Holy Spirit (Asbury College)
A group of us at Asbury met to watch the live webstream. Over 30 students were present. God poured out His Spirit in such amazing ways. The Spirit filled people on campus who used to be quiet and reserved. God has removed that spirit of timidity and replaced it with one of power. We’ve broken out of the Asbury House of Prayer. Tonight there’s singing and rejoicing in the streets. One person was healed of lifelong blood clots, another of knee pain, and someone else of a stomach virus. There’s so much more. I can’t even begin to describe it all in words.
Physical Healing: Ear Problems (St. Cloud State University, MN)
I was healed last night watching while the webstream. I am a musician and a worship leader and I have problems with my ears popping and sudden loss of hearing. I believe God healed my ears last night. I felt heat on them and I could hear better. I had to turn down the sound of my computer.
Various Healings (Amarillo, TX)
We’ve been watching via webstream at the House of Prayer in Amarillo, Texas. We’ve had a guy who had hearing loss get healed. An older woman with severe asthma got healed and she was running around our prayer room! Young people have gotten delivered from shame, rejection, fear, worry, stress and depression. Tonight after a young lady had been praying for voices and mentioned stuttering . . . well one of our intercessory missionaries had a bad stuttering problem and he is delivered!
Physical Healing: Back Pain (Tacoma, WA)
I am 18 years old living in Tacoma, WA and I was just watching the IHOP–KC live feed and they were crying out for healing, specifically for back pain. I have had a back problem for years and the Lord has partially healed it before now, but never fully. Someone cried out on the mic for fire to burn in backs and right then I felt this intense burning in my back and then you called out for people who were watching to try and do something they could never do before! Before now if I laid on the ground I could not get my back to touch the ground at all below my shoulder blades. I laid on the ground and my back was nearly flat on the ground . . . and no pain! PRAISE THE LORD! :)
Physical Healing: Urinary Tract Infection (Point Loma Nazarene University)
I’m a student at Point Loma Nazarene University in San Diego, watching live over the Web. When I heard the man on stage release the healing power of urinary tract infections, and the woman start singing of kidneys healings, something shifted. 4 years ago this month, I had a kidney transplant, and ever since then, I have been in and out of the emergency room due to urinary tract infection symptoms. I was hopeless of them ever leaving, but when you released this power, the symptoms ceased all together. Thank you GOD for your faithfulness!
Physical Healing: Back Pain
You just prayed for healing in the backs and asked for an fire to be touched on our back, i quickly said yes Lord. Immediately I was given warmth upon my back and i bent in a way that used to hurt and there was no more pain in the name of Jesus Christ.
Physical Healing: Sciatic Nerve Pain
I have been having pain in my left hip from my sciatic nerve. I have had this pain for 2 years now. I am a professional dancer and haven't been able to take time off to heal. Sometimes the pain would get so bad that every step i took I would gasp in pain. I have had to “live with it” through hours and hours of dance rehearsals. Saturday night a word of knowledge was spoken, “a lady with brown hair. pain in the left hip. sciatic nerve. healed in Jesus' name.” I was instantly completely healed. No more pain! God is SO good!
Soldier Touched Via Webstream (Iraq)
I am a US soldier in Iraq. I’ve been watching the webstream in my room at three in the morning. The presence of God has been so strong and refreshing my soul. Even though I’m away from my church and family in America, God has been meeting me here and now. It’s beautiful! Thank you Spirit for your Presence!
Love of God Felt (Sarasota, FL)
We have been watching the webstream at Engulf House of Prayer in Sarasota and I have been changed on the inside. I intellectually knew that the Lord loved me and delighted in me, but now I am burning on the inside with the truth that the God of the Universe likes me! I want to yell it from the rooftops. Holy Spirit whispered to me “I love your poetry and your songs to me!” I am still in shock! God likes me!! I am Hephzibah, I am Beulah! Yes, I am confident and no longer have to seek identity in accomplishments! I have been set free!
Move of the Holy Spirit at Women’s Shelter (St. Louis, MO)
Hi, I work at Mercy Ministries St Louis which is a free residential facility for women who struggle with eating disorders, cutting, homosexuality, and abuse and i been playing the webstream on the classroom in the home and have girls literally fall at my feet in tears begging for healing!!! They r wanting more of the holy spirit! Thanks for the webstream. I actually left work early to come here this week and they were begging to come with me! Now they ask “can you turn on that revival thing?” I say OF COURSE! Its so good!
Holy Spirit Moves on Wait Staff
When I went to work on Wednesday, as I waited on tables, I felt the supernatural heaviness of the Holy Spirit the entire shift. I had an increase in strength and joy. I kept thinking, “Wow, the Lord’s presence is so strong.” I prayed for a co-worker during the shift, and as I laid my hand on his shoulder and prayed, I felt the anointing of the Holy Spirit. That night after the shift, I went home and turned on the webstream that went right into the FSM. I could see that something special was going on. My son who is there at IHOP–KC told me what was happening. I believe what started there was also touching me here!
Baptized in the Holy Spirit
Last night I turned on the prayer after our young adults meeting. I was just crying out and repenting for about an hour. Then I just felt the presence of the Lord in the house. I just laid down in His presence. When my roommate got home he found me laying on the floor and I was able to speak in tongues. I felt like fire went through my whole body. I got baptized of the Holy Spirt last night. I have been a Christian for about 5 years and have been seeking the gifts of the holy spirit for about 3 years now.
Freedom from Shame
On Thursday, I first started watching the webstream with that morning waking up with the Lord telling me I had been set free. I didn’t quite understand but as the week progressed the Lord has set me free from shame, from intellectualism. I have been asking for a heart experience not just head knowledge and He encountered me by touching me with laughter and I have been filled with joy ever since. He is still continuing to reveal the Father’s love to my heart. Setting me free. He has set me free!
Delivered from Despair, Given Joy of the Lord
I have struggled with anger and am a mom and feel condemnation every day when I can’t “control” my anger. The Lord spoke to me that my struggle is with despair. I have wanted deliverance from this for years. Tonight via the webstream I encountered the Holy Spirit’s ministry. He purged the despair and deposited His love and joy. I am free! I know there are other moms who have similar struggles. There is freedom!
Freedom from Condemnation
My friend directed me to the site this morning and I happened to tune in for tonight’s service. Holy Spirit began to touch and heal my condemnation, shame and indignation I carried with me. Although I thought I believed He didn’t even remember my sins, I came to realize that I was carrying that heavy burden within me that prevented me from the full measure of the Father’s love and His good plan for my future. Glory to God. I love you Jesus.
Physical and Emotional Healing
I have struggled with my identity as a woman due to sexual abuse as a child, I have suffered from eating disorders and lack of a menstrual cycle for nine years as a result. The Lord has been healing me and my cycle started again last month. Tonight a lie was broken when a lady shared her testimony: God showed me I am worth having children, that I believed I was sick because I would be a bad mother, but that is not true! He is restoring my identity as a beautiful woman of God. Praise the Lord! Bless you all. Let His healing love flow throughout the nations.
Deliverance from Pornography
I have been struggling with pornography for almost 2 years and desiring deliverance but plagued with condemnation. I turned on the webstream tonight while i was doing my homework, and the Holy Spirit just began to work in me and i began to weep. I began to renounce my agreements with sin and confess out loud that i was clean and holy and blameless because of JESUS! Nothing i do changes the way God loves me, and the only reason i stand before Him clean is because i believe in the blood of the Lamb. Deliverance began in me tonight! Thank you Father!
Delivered from Self-Hatred; Experiencing God’s Love (Georgia State University)
I am a college student at Georgia State University. I have been living under the shadow of a performance mentality for the past few years. I grew up in a house where my parents and siblings always loved the Lord. I have felt a pressure to perform and have my life look spiritually perfect. This mentality has stolen my hope for a life truly full of the Lord’s Joy. As I have been watching the student testimonies about deliverance from self-hatred and perfectionism, the Spirit of Lord fell on me in the campus library. I began to weep in the middle of the library, and I felt the Lord affirming his unconditional love for me, and calling me a Son of God.
Physical Healing: Tumor Gone
I was diagnosed with a benign tumor in my chest 4 years ago. It has been very painful, but I did not want to have to undergo surgery to have it removed. The dangers were many since it was located in near my lymph nodes. However, after watching last Thursday night session over the internet, it is now gone! It has been a week and there has been absolutely no pain and the lump is 100% gone!
Physical Healing: Back Pain (Peoria, IL)
I’m watching the webstream in Peoria, IL and there was a call for backs to be healed even on the webstream. Earlier this week I had injured my back and today it was so painful I had trouble bending over. So after Allen encouraged people to try and see if their injured bodies had been healed, I stood up and bent over, did some twisting to either side and I can tell God touched me. My back is healed!
Freedom from Shame (Cincinnati, OH)
I’m watching online right now on the live webcast here in Cincinnati, Ohio and I just felt the power of the Holy Spirit fall upon me and fill me with joy! I laid down shame I have felt from an addiction to pornography and sexual sin. By the grace of God and the power of the Holy Spirit I believe I am healed of this addiction to pornography and sexual sin. God loves me regardless of my past, I have just repented of what I have done, and I feel no shame anymore for what I have done. What I do feel though is a very deep and sad heart for the sins I have committed in the past—but I feel no shame for the past anymore! Praise the LORD!
Move of the Holy Spirit (Asbury College)
I can’t even begin to explain how much the awakening at IHOP–KC has done for the spiritual state on Asbury’s campus. Spirit-filled people are being strengthened, empowered, and encouraged through this outpouring of the Spirit. It’s AWESOME, and we are beyond thankful for God’s power being poured out during this time.
Burden for the Lost at Fraternity House (Georgia Tech)
I am watching in my room in my fraternity house at Georgia Tech. A small group of believers meet on Wednesdays to pray for the brothers in our house. We are believing for God to move in the hearts of our fraternity brothers and that God would open their eyes so that they may see him and soften their hearts that they may know him more. We are praying that the temptations of the enemy will have no power over them and this house, and that they will recognize Gods unfailing mercy and grace!
Physical Healing: Chronic Back Pain
I’ve been healed in my back majorly! I had no energy, little or no strength, felt like a 95 year old man! The scar tissue was pressing up against nerves in my back and creating pain in ridiculous ways. Now I’m giddy because there’s no way in the natural to go from three back surgeries to where I am now! I blew out my back doing a dead lift in strength training three years ago, I’ve been waiting too long, having the nerve cut in and having permanent damage, it is a little miracle.
Freedom and Joy
God has touched me in a special way while watching the live webstream. I can’t describe how I feel. I just know I have been set free of alot of stuff. I have been a Christian for years, but this is awesome!
Physical Healing: Neck and Shoulder Pain
For the last month or more I’ve been annoyed with neck and shoulder pain from my work as a waitress. I raised my hand to be touched during the meeting Monday night via webstream. God’s power touched that area and I have no more pain!
Physical Healing: Back Pain
I was in a four-wheeler accident over a year ago that compacted my spine in a couple of places. After a year of extreme pain, I was watching last Tuesday. When back pain was called out I placed my hands on my laptop and instantly my back popped. The pain is completely healed! I am able to move with out any pain what so ever! PRAISE JESUS!
Physical Healing: Gall Stones
At one of the meetings, “gall stones” was called out and that whoever had them was going to have surgery if they didn’t get healed. Two nights ago I was watching the Holy Spirit move on the webstream in my bedroom Chicago. My mom came in my room and told me to pack my bags because I was going to IHOP–KC to get healed. She said it was cheaper for me to go to IHOP–KC and get healed than get surgery. I’m only 15 years old, so doctors were afraid of doing surgery. I’ve been on a no-fat diet for 3 weeks and losing weight rapidly. I was really afraid of getting surgery. Last night people prayed for me and I was feeling better, however, tonight I started feeling really sick again. When Wes called out gall stones I raised my hand and people started gathering around me and praying. I felt a bubbling sensation in my stomach and it bubbled up and I feel 100% better! No more gall stones! No surgery! Praise the Lord!
Move of the Holy Spirit (Indiana Wesleyan University)
Small groups of prayer have been breaking out all over campus. There have been outbreaks of repentance and confession and healing and freedom. There have been baptisms of the Holy Spirit. We have started an unofficial prayer room that goes on 2 hours 6 days a week. There have been small groups of equipping of the Revelatory Gifts! People are learning to prophesy almost INSTANTLY! It's incredible! Praise God! Holy Spirit is on the move here!
Physical Healing: Jaw Pain
Watching the webstream in my room at home, I searched for whatever I could offer back to God for healing. I have had popping & what felt like tingling tendons in my jaw ever since I had braces. Bit by bit, it left as I praised Him who paid so much for our health. God, grant that we could praise You rightly for what You are doing. Give students boldness to approach others on college campuses and spontaneously heal them as well. Pour out Your Spirit on our college campuses like this!
Move of the Holy Spirit (California)
Wow! I was sitting in my room when someone texted me to check out the FSM room and as soon as I turned it on I just started sobbing my eyes out. The spirit of God came so strong and it was so heavy, yet so light at the same time. I just felt His love in such an incredibly peaceful fulfilling way. It was fantastic! Thanks for being open to the Holy Spirit! You guys ROCK!
Boldness Released to Pray
I was watching the live stream and the Holy Spirit gave me boldness to pray with my unbelieving cousin and the presence of God drew my lost dad to pray for his heart condition. Both really big steps of faith that God did by the empowering of His Spirit
