About Me
- Name: portland international house of prayer
- Location: Portland, Oregon, United States
When some friends of a paralytic man heard that Jesus was IN THE HOUSE, they did everything they could to get their friend into his presence. They even took off the roof of a house and lowered him in on a mat, most likely strung up with ropes of some sort. All this after fighting their way through a standing room only crowd that flooded out of that house Jesus occupied. The friends did this for two reasons. One, they had a great love for their friend. Two, they knew that only Jesus could heal him. In the House Ministries exists for two reasons. One, we love the city of Portland. Two, we know that only Jesus can heal this land.

In the House Ministries exists to train, encourage and equip the body of Christ in the areas of prayer, worship, evangelism, prophetic, ministry to the poor, spiritual warfare and the creative arts. The Downtown House of Prayer is established to provide 24/7 worship and prayer for the city of Portland, Oregon. This blog is just for fun, but perhaps over time it will provide some insight and stimulate discussion surrounding the above areas.

Meditations continue....
Therefore, brethern, we are debtors--not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh. For if you live according to the flesh you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are the sons of God.
Remember if you are joining us in the meditations from home some helpful hints:
*set aside a time and place where you will not easily be pulled away
*play some simple music without words to keep you focused if silence is distracting
*read the verse over and over until a particular phrase sticks out to you
*write your insights down as they come to you, even things that do not seem profound at the moment may later reveal something to you
*say the scripture out loud, you might hear something new
*keep a pad of paper or make an extra column to write down tasks that come in your mind that need to be done or other things you want to pursue--just getting them on paper helps you to refocus (for example: I need to get groceries, pick up the kids at 4:00, make a doctor's appointment, call Kathleen, look up Isaiah 58, etc.)
we hope to add another meditation time on the eastside soon...details will be posted here.
