REFORMATION HOUSE OF PRAYER
The key of the house of David I will lay on his shoulder; So he shall open, and no one shall shut; And he shall shut, and no one shall open. (Isaiah 22:22)
The Bible tells us that King David was a man that was after God’s own heart. He was a lover of God, a worshipper, and a man of prayer. He loved God so much that he established a tabernacle that was dedicated to worship and prayer twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week … this was the first sustained 24/7 House of Prayer. Three thousand years later - another 24/7 House of Prayer movement is springing up from the ground all over the earth. God is jealous for this generation - and He’s looking for those with the heart of David - those whose devotion to Him knows no bounds. It is to this remnant - that He will release the “keys to the house of David” to legislate His purposes all over the earth.
Here in Los Angeles, God’s desire is to rule and reign again. From this very place, revivals have been birthed that have literally changed the landscape of the earth (Azusa Street Revival (1906), Jesus Movement (1967), etc.). Hundreds of millions have been saved in the past as God poured out His Spirit over LA. We are on the brink of another major move of God’s Spirit on the earth - and He wants to birth something out of Los Angeles again.
The Reformation House of Prayer (RHOP) was established on February 4th, 2006 and overlooks the site of the Azusa Street Mission where the Holy Spirit was poured out 100 years ago. In the first two months alone over 2000 intercessors from 200 Churches gathered at RHOP for night and day intercession (this is the first known 24/7 House of Prayer in the city). The purpose of RHOP is four-fold:
- To Welcome and Host the Presence of the Lord (Isaiah 66:1)
- To Legislate the Purposes of God thru Intercession
- To Release a REFORMATION that will altar the Social, Political, and Spiritual Landscape of a Nation
- To “Prepare the Way” for the Return of the King
In July, 2006, the Lord released more specific strategy to the House - to focus our prayers on the 7 Mountains of Culture for the purpose of releasing His Kingdom into every sphere of our city. These 7 Mountains represent the "High Places" that the enemy has present dominion over which prevent countless people from walking out their destinies in Christ. A shift in these spheres could mean millions coming to know Him in our city!!
In these last days, God is going to release great authority to those who will posture themselves before the Lord as David did. As we spend our lives on Him - He will hear our cries to change cities and nations. As we spend our lives on Him - we will receive the authority to open doors that no one can shut, and close doors that no one can open. As we spend our lives on Him - His Kingdom will come and His Will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
May the cries of His people reach His Throne from THIS HOUSE and may the “Keys of David” be released to those who gather in this place.
