I- Stands for INTERCESSION.

We believe that in finding ways to purposefully join together in corporate intercessory worship,
we are obeying His prophetic directive to be a house of prayer for all nations.
(Matthew 21:13, Isaiah 56:7)

H- Stands for HOLINESS.

Holiness to a Christian is a natural response to experiencing the love of God and His delight in us.
He is the God that makes us Holy! His call to be the spotless Bride of Christ is a call we must answer
in these last days of this age.
(Romans 12:1, I Peter 1:14-16, Ephesians 5:27)

O- Stands for OFFERINGS.

The gospel is embodied in service to the poor, widowed, and orphaned. True religion and true service
to God means serving the ones that Jesus served. “as you did it to one of the least of these My brethren,
you did it to me.” (James 1:27, Matthew 25:40)

P- Stands for PROPHETIC.

We acknowledge the testimony of Jesus Christ as the true spirit of prophecy and submit ourselves to the
written word of God as His testimony. We invite and embrace the manifestations of the Holy Spirit and we
earnestly desire spiritual gifts, especially that we would prophecy.
(Revelation 19:10, I Corinthians 14:1, Numbers 11:29)

IHOP-Lansing Values Statement

WE VALUE:

The active pursuit of personal and corporate intimacy with God through extravagant devotion, prayer, worship and a simplified lifestyle. (Psalm 27:4)

A posture for our public meetings that creates a resting place for God, a geographic place and environment where He is manifestly present. This posture includes combining worship and intercession (Revelations 5:8), praying in the Spirit and spontaneous singing (I Corinthians 14:14-15), and cultivating a prophetic spirit on the musicians (I Chronicles 25:1-5), singers and intercessors.

The development of 24/7 unified worship and prayer, believing the prophetic promise of Jesus that His church will function as a house of prayer. (Matthew 21:13)

Harmony with other believers in the ministry of prayer, so we emphasize the use of Scriptures (2 Timothy 3:16), especially the recorded prayers of the Scriptures, as a framework from which to pray.

Intercession to change the spiritual atmosphere of the greater Lansing/ Mid-Michigan area to bring about renewal of the church and salvation of the lost and to establish Lansing as a city of refuge in the last days..

A strategy for spiritual warfare that releases the power of God rather than focusing on the power of the enemy (Ephesians 6).

The revelation of the end time judgments of God because it was in this context (Luke 17:22-37) that Jesus called His people to night and day prayer for the release of “speedy” justice in the earth (Luke 18:1-8).

Evangelism, world missions and serving the poor. We desire to participate with the Holy Spirit in a global prayer strategy that will result in an unprecedented harvest of souls before the Lord returns.
