IHOP Adventure, Part 1/4

This weekend I'm going to the International House of Prayer in Kansas City, MO! I'm leaving Thansgiving night. It will be short, but I know that God wants to do some significant things on the inside of me.
To give you some backround, God has awakened their University, and they have been having nightly meetings where healing, deliverance, souls saved have happened in amazing ways. I've been tuning in via webstream and Holy Spirit has been depositing things in me, so now I'm on my way to receive first hand!
To be honest, I've never done anything like this before -- and by that I mean I've never jumped into a car with little planning and drove across the country seeking an encounter with God. But I know that something significant is going to happen as a result if me going.
So I do have a cast of characters joining me in this adventure! Wayne Anderson is coming with me, and I'm really glad that he is. Wayne is my cousin and in YMC as a first year student, and I greatly admire his gift of faith. This is the man who went to Lakeland a year and a half ago with no money or a place to stay -- just completely on the stirring of the Holy Spirit to go for it. God changed him forever down there and now he is with YMC pursuing his destiny. He told me about the IHOP meetings and we soon realized that we needed to get down there. Wayne had no money -- but stepped out in faith as he so often does by committing to come with me. As a result, someone blessed him yesterday with money to go! One thing I want this weekend is the grace of the 1 Corinthians 12 faith that he operates in to rub off on me!
My brother Justin Loncar is also going. I call him my little big brother because he is younger than I, but certainly physically bigger than me! But more than that, I admire him because he has the kindest heart of anyone I know, constantly thinking of others before himself. He may be younger than I but I learn things from him, just like I'm learning great faith from Wayne -- oh, the beauty of the body of Christ to be able to learn from even those you have been given a measure of authority over!
Please pray for us as we travel. We live at 8:00 PM Thursday and will drive all through the night! I'll update you through blogs. If you'd like to watch the live stream of the services, go to ihop.org/watch. They are 7PM - 1 AM nightly.
I love you and can't wait to share all that God does! Happy Thanksgiving!
