IHOP Atlanta goes 24/7!

I have some really exciting news:

IHOP Atlanta is now 24/7 !! We officially went 24/7 on Feb. 12th. This is very exciting for us, as intercessors, and for Atlanta as a whole. Now there will be a continual incense being lifted up to the Lord from Atlanta on behalf of its people.

The whole thing was really prophetic, as this all went down on 2/12. I won't go through all the details, but will hit the quick highlights so that you can more effectively praise God for what He is establishing in Atlanta and throughout the country.

Billy Humphrey, an awesome man of God, the man who basically got the download from God on starting IHOP Atlanta used to be a youth pastor at a local church. The name of his youth group was called "212" because it is the boiling point of water. They originally chose the theme verse Isa. 64:1-2 to go along with that. It was not until a couple of years later that someone pointed out the verse from 1 Chronicles 9:22-24 that says:

"All those chosen as gatekeepers were two-hundred and twelve... so they and their children were in charge of the gates of the house of the LORD, the house of the tabernacle, by assignment..."

In context this scripture is talking about those assigned to take care of the house of God (house of prayer). Well, we are those gatekeepers. A number of people have prophesied about Atlanta being a gate city, and it truly is. We understand that to be ministering before the Lord in the House of Prayer, we are calling down His government to earth and therefore we are the gatekeepers, opening and closing the doors as He shows us. This is also why our school of ministry is called the Gatekeeper School of Ministry.

There is so much more, and I don't even know the whole story yet (Billy began the prophetic history last night at the Encountering God Service). Read Billy's article called The Gatekeeper Anointing and an awesome article on Atlanta's Redemptive Calling.

I am amazed at what God is doing in Atlanta and all over the earth! There is definitely an urgency in this hour to get right with God. He is up to something BIG.
