Lord, help us pray for politicians as You desire: with infinite possibility and hope in their transformation into the image of Christ.

While we were attending the 50th Anniversary of Intercessors for America I happened to overhear Zoraida Noratto telling about a song she'd written from the perspective of a pre-born baby. I interviewed her and Audrey Fryckenberg, the musician who brought Noratto's song to life, and IFA shared the in...

We were blessed to attend the premiere of Ordinary Angels, which opens in theaters coast to coast tonight. It's a powerful picture of faith bringing a community together to save a little girl. 

We also attended the after party, and I was able to pray with a number of folks on their tea...

Originally Songs of Revival: Hungry After God Himself was titled Songs of the Welsh Revival. Then the Asbury Outpouring began. As I write we're one year after the 298th hour of continuous worship, testimony, preaching, Scripture reading, Salvation, and rededication. We kn...

Shortly after my first article in my series on the importance of repentance in revival (#ImportanceOfRepentanceInRevival) Dutch Sheets posted a powerful teaching about what repentance is and how revival removes the veil which prevents people from repenting. As I...

Today Joyce's latest article ran on www.HeadlinePrayer.org:

The Power of Persistent Prayer

Lord, thank You for encouraging us in the “long-term” prayers. May we be like the persistent widow, knocking on Your door.

“Crack the Dome!”

This came to me as a whisper as I rested in my YMCA room in Jerusalem. I...

As I'm writing (2:22 p.m. Eastern) it's the hour the Asbury Outpouring started to build momentum on this day last year, four hours into the 374-hour service. Greg Haseloff, University Pastor at Asbury University, told me he first sensed something was different about 20-30 minutes after ...

Every time Joyce and I lead prayer for Intercessors for America it's a tremendous blessing, but today felt particularly weighty, since our children are under such attack. As our host Judy McDonough brought out on the program, throughout all five decades of IFA prayers have gone up for the next gener...

Yesterday Intercessors for America ran my article "Seeking God for Revival," the first in a series which will cover the importance of repentance in the 1970 Asbury Revival, the 1904–1905 Welsh Revival, and the 2023 Asbury Outpouring: 

Lord, thank You for leading souls to repentanc...

Yesterday Intercessors for America posted an article by Joyce and an article about my portrayal of Rees Howells, and I posted my teaching on 1 Timothy 6:17-19, in which I portrayed C.S. Lewis. Hopefully these reflections on the past will encourage and inspire you as we prepare to enter 2024...

Thirty years ago, this very hour, I pulled into New York City for the first time, and I've lived here ever since! 

I had a vague recollection that today was the day, so when I woke at 3:00 a.m. (a significant hour for me), I got up to search for the journal I kept during those early days in the ...

I'm preparing our Year in Review, and I realized there are some pretty major events I hadn't given praise for yet:

Sharing a monologue as Rees Howells, one of our heroes, at the IFA celebration was one of the highlights of the year. The day before Richard Blackaby mentioned how Evan Roberts...

I'm sorry I missed it on the day, but we were just delighted to see photos!

Joyce wrote an article about it for Intercessors for America:

Lord, thank You for the hope of Your covenant promises. Thank You for hearing our prayers for New York City and that nothing is too hard for You.

The Lord blessed Ne...

Right now in Paris, our friend is networking at an Evangelical expo. Pray for the right venue and connections for my one-man play Beyond the Chariots there next summer during the Olympics: www.GiveSendGo.com/ChariotsParisEdinburgh

Joyce  continues Westchester Chapel's series "A Prophet’s Life: Lessons Learned From Those Called to Communicate God’s Truth” with a message from Isaiah 8:9-9:1, focusing on the difference between the godly and the ungodly. She makes a call to choose the godly path, fearing ...

Because the staff at Intercessors for America was focused on preparing for, executing, and recovering from the 50th Anniversary Celebration, our editor-in-chief, Judy McDonough asked for us to remind her of articles we've written in the past that could be reposted without much change. Joyce has writ...
