Ten Cubes Per Week

2009-08-18T16:43:00.000-07:00

At the point, the LC-IHOP member labors for the sole purpose of meeting the needs of others. For this reason they have become eligible for housing free of rent provided the commitment is maintained.

Six Cubes Per Week

2009-08-18T16:29:00.000-07:00

Food, clothing and other non-monetary items donated to LC-IHOP will be granted to the members who sustain six cubes per week commitment. This grant will be based upon availability and need.

Now a forth non LC-IHOP member within the immediate family may join the partnership to complete the LC-IHOP member's community service commitment. These means five people from the same family may work together to accomplish one member's commitment.

In the event the LC-IHOP has no more children to partner, each additional 10% of financial giving required for subsequent commitments will serve to satisfy the additional one hour of community service. In other words, no new community service hours are added from this point on.

Five Cubes Per Week

2009-08-18T16:16:00.000-07:00

At this point in the progress toward the member's lifestyle change, the member becomes eligible to choose between volunteering for LC-IHOP to complete their community service or continue serving the community apart from LC-IHOP. This would include the family members partnership provided the position filled allows for them.

Also a third non LC-IHOP member within the immediate family may join the partnership to complete the LC-IHOP member's community service commitment. These means four people from the same family may work together to accomplish one member's commitment.

In the event the LC-IHOP has no more children to partner, each additional 10% of financial giving required for subsequent commitments will serve to satisfy the additional one hour of community service. In other words, no new community service hours are added from this point on.

Four Cubes Per Week

2009-08-18T16:06:00.000-07:00

With their application for four cubes per week, the member also becomes eligible to minister to other guests and members of LC-IHOP.

Also a second non LC-IHOP member within the immediate family may join the partnership to complete the LC-IHOP member's community service commitment.

In the event the LC-IHOP has no more children to partner, each additional 10% of financial giving required for subsequent commitments will serve to satisfy the additional one hour of community service. In other words, no new community service hours are added from this point on.

Seven Cubes Per Week

2009-08-18T16:03:00.000-07:00

At seven cubes per week, the member becomes eligible to hold a managerial position within LC-IHOP's corporate structure.

One Cube Per Week

2009-08-18T15:07:00.000-07:00

Those how have committed to adjust their behavior and schedules to accomplish one cube per week can look forward to receiving the fulfillment of the following promises from God.

Deuteronomy 4:9
"Only give heed to yourself and keep your soul diligently, so that you do not forget the things which your eyes have seen and they do not depart from your heart all the days of your life; but make them known to your sons and your grandsons.

Deuteronomy 28:1-68
¹"Now it shall be, if you diligently obey the Lord your God, being careful to do all His commandments which I command you today, the Lord your God will set you high above all the nations of the earth. ²"All these blessings will come upon you and overtake you if you obey the Lord your God. ³"Blessed shall you be in the city, and blessed shall you be in the country. ⁴"Blessed shall be the offspring of your body and the produce of your ground and the offspring of your beasts, the increase of your herd and the young of your flock. ⁵"Blessed shall be your basket and your kneading bowl. ⁶"Blessed shall you be when you come in, and blessed shall you be when you go out. ⁷"The Lord shall cause your enemies who rise up against you to be defeated before you; they will come out against you one way and will flee before you seven ways. ⁸"The Lord will command the blessing upon you in your barns and in all that you put your hand to, and He will bless you in the land which the Lord your God gives you. ⁹"The Lord will establish you as a holy people to Himself, as He swore to you, if you keep the commandments of the Lord your God and walk in His ways. ¹⁰"So all the peoples of the earth will see that you are called by the name of the Lord, and they will be afraid of you. ¹¹"The Lord will make you abound in prosperity, in the offspring of your body and in the offspring of your beast and in the produce of your ground, in the land which the Lord swore to your fathers to give you. ¹²"The Lord will open for you His good storehouse, the heavens, to give rain to your land in its season and to bless all the work of your hand; and you shall lend to many nations, but you shall not borrow. ¹³"The Lord will make you the head and not the tail, and you only will be above, and you will not be underneath, if you listen to the commandments of the Lord your God, which I charge you today, to observe them carefully, ¹⁴and do not turn aside from any of the words which I command you today, to the right or to the left, to go after other gods to serve them.

Joshua 23:11-13
¹¹"So take diligent heed to yourselves to love the Lord your God. ¹²"For if you ever go back and cling to the rest of these nations, these which remain among you, and intermarry with them, so that you associate with them and they with you, ¹³know with certainty that the Lord your God will not continue to drive these nations out from before you; but they will be a snare and a trap to you, and a whip on your sides and thorns in your eyes, until you perish from off this good land which the Lord your God has given you.

Psalms 119:1-8
¹How blessed are those whose way is blameless, Who walk in the law of the Lord. ²How blessed are those who observe His testimonies, Who seek Him with all their heart. ³They also do no unrighteousness; They walk in His ways. ⁴You have ordained Your precepts, That we should keep them diligently. ⁵Oh that my ways may be established To keep Your statutes! ⁶Then I shall not be ashamed When I look upon all Your commandments. ⁷I shall give thanks to You with uprightness of heart, When I learn Your righteous judgments. ⁸I shall keep Your statutes; Do not forsake me utterly!

John 8:31-32
³¹So Jesus was saying to those Jews who had believed Him, "If you continue in My word, then you are truly disciples of Mine; ³²and you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free."

Once the individual member has been able to make the connection between remaining in God's words and the blessings that result, that individual will be allowed to make a deeper commitment. If this individual is unable to make this connection in the events of their own lives, any further commitment could very easily become a burden upon their shoulders. We seek to remove burdens not add to them. This is why we strongly advise all applicants for two or more cubes per week to wait until they rejoicing in God's blessings on a consistent basis.

Fasting

2009-08-15T09:32:00.000-07:00

The fasting commitment is intended to beat our bodies into submission the way Paul did in 1 Corinthians 9:27. The entire chapter of 1 Corinthians 9 teaches us through Paul's example the self disciplines of a true apostle. One of those self disciplines is controlling the lust for food. This is referenced by Paul in Chapter 10:1-13 where Paul admonishes us to deny ourselves the lusts of the flesh. Voluntary starvation is mentioned by Paul only in passing through the use of an opposite in 1 Corinthians 10:7. Here Paul illustrates the connection between eating, drinking and playing which resulted in condemnation by God.

Paul further connects eating and drinking to falling in 1 Corinthians 10:12. Please remember it is Jesus who said food and drink do not make a person unclean because these things inter the body through the mouth and are eliminated, Matthew 15:17-20. It is the combination of the lust of the flesh with food, drink and play that causes the fall. Voluntary fasting, therefore, beats our flesh into a testimony that denies the lusts of the flesh for food, drink and play. This testimony in the flesh thus agrees with the words of our prayers to know Jesus through the fellowship of His sufferings in the desert.

It is this connection Paul makes that defines LC-IHOP's fast commitment. Thus, it is accomplished by denying the flesh the pleasures of food, drink, entertainment, sports, or any other earthly pleasure for the purpose of seeking the face of God in prayer. Please note that the Isaiah 58 fast is accomplished in the community service commitment.

For more on the subject of works of the flesh testifying in agreement with the words of our mouth, please read God's Hermeneutics.

One Tenth Increase

2009-08-15T08:05:00.000-07:00

One tenth increase in the context of LC-IHOP is defined by Abram's example in Genesis 14:20, combined with the explanation provided by Hebrews 7. Abram sacrificed his own resources in a bloody war for the purpose of restoring his brother, Lot, back into freedom. That sacrifice yielded the spoils of war which Abram considered as wealth from man.

These spoils were divided by Abram as follows:

One tenth went to Melchizedek,

the laborers who fought the war received their share

Abram kept nothing for himself. Instead, Abram exchanged the spoils of war for the promises of God.

Therefore, LC-IHOP considers the wealth of man or financial increase to be the spoils of war taken away from the enemy to set free our mothers, brothers and sisters who do the will of God. This is why every cube requires the increase of one more tenth given directly to God. It is a slow step down process designed to encourage continued and increased faith to trust God with ones own needs and desires through the fulfillment of His promises.

At the same time, this increased commitment will develop the love to consider others before ourselves in the tangible way described in 1 John 3:18. Working for the purpose of providing for others is the same as laying down one's own life for another. There is no greater love which is why the second death will have no hold upon these individuals.

As individuals increase their commitments to God, our LC-IHOP community will grow into the lifestyle of sharing all things in common the way it was modeled for us by Jesus, His disciples and the first century church.

Two Cubes Per Week

2009-08-14T19:49:00.000-07:00

In addition to the privileges granted to individuals who have committed to one cube per week, those who extent their commitment to God to include a total of two cubes per week may attend any of the basic training seminars provided free of charge by LC-IHOP staff.

All family members within the LC-IHOP's immediate family share in the same privileges.

Three Cubes Per Week

2009-08-14T19:40:00.000-07:00

All staff members are required to raise their own financial support in order to accomplish their commitments as LC-IHOP staff members. However, once three cubes are maintained for six consecutive months, the part-time staff member has earned the right to apply for permission to present their wares on LC-IHOP's web site provided all other contract requirements are met.

The member who applies for three cubes per week also receives the ability to partner with their non-member spouse or one child to fulfill the member's weekly community service commitment. In other words, all the hours served by the one spouse or the one child will count towards the completion of the member's community service commitment.

In the event the LC-IHOP has no spouse or child, each additional 10% of financial giving requied for subsequent commitments will serve to satisfy the additional one hour of community service. In other words, no new community service hours are added from this point on.

Full-time Staff Members

2009-08-14T19:35:00.001-07:00

Full-time staff members have also completed the internship program yet they have committed to nine or more cubes per week. Once the staff member obtains to 100% of their income gifted to God, this staff member has attained to the goal of sharing all things in common just as the first century church and apostles did. This is one of the requirements to obtain apostleship status.

Part-time Staff Member

2009-08-14T19:34:00.001-07:00

A part-time staff member of LC-IHOP is a person who has completed the internship program and committed to eight or fewer cubes per week. Eight cubes equates to eight hours of community service, eight hours of word keeping, eight hours of corporate worship, eight hours of intercession each and every week plus eight tenths of the increase gifted to God and eight days per month fasted to seek the Lord.

Private Intercession

2009-08-14T19:25:00.001-07:00

Private Intercession is either received from or given to another person. It is a time of specific intense prayer designed to expose the lies written on the individual's heart in order for that person to know the truth and be set free by the truth. There is no prophetic ministry at this time. Ministers must graduate from the training provided before they will be allowed to engage in service within this hour.

Corporate Worship

2009-08-14T19:23:00.000-07:00

Corporate worship is where multiple groups come together to worship the Creator of the universe with declarations of gratitude and joy. This is when expressions of emotion is encouraged provided order and consideration for others is maintained. Corporate prophetic statements are permitted during these times provided compliance with the established training course.

Word Keeping

2009-08-14T19:22:00.001-07:00

Word keeping within the LC-IHOP context is the deliberate meditation upon scripture in such a way as to build unity into one mind of Christ. Therefore, members progress through training in sequence to assure each member is in agreement with the same scriptures all the other members are in agreement with at any given level of commitment.

This unity is accomplished within small groups of no more than 12 members and one facilitator. These groups are called E-12 groups which stands for Elijah's 12 stones. The purpose of the meeting is to gain a unified understanding of scripture. Members are given a list of assigned verses upon which they meditate, pray/read, write, sing research and cherish together as a group until all members of the group agree upon the meaning of the assigned verses. Individual prophetic or healing ministry may be accomplished here provided all ministers have graduated from the respective training course.

Community Service

2009-08-14T19:19:00.000-07:00

Community service within the LC-IHOP context is defined as voluntary service to anyone who is unable to extend remuneration for the service provided and where the staff member is a subordinate in the chosen organization. This means a staff member can choose when, where and how they volunteer for the community. Any training time provided to the staff member is included as community service. The only condition is that the person volunteering is not paid for their services.

Available Training Seminars

2009-08-11T15:01:00.000-07:00

Each of these seminars builds upon the previous and as a whole will provide everyone with the right path toward the "mustard seed" of faith which moves mountains. The seminars are listed in the order they may be completed.

The respected time for instruction does not include time for worship to prepare the hearts to receive these truths. Nor do these times include needed breaks. They are purely time needed to cover the topic.

Hermeneutics - The testimony of Jesus is 3 hours of instruction which details three different methods Jesus employed to testify of His Father and how all three methods agree.

Introduction to IHOP is 5 hours of instruction which only highlights four essential ingredients that make up God's house of prayer.

Sustained Prayer is one hour of instruction on how to pray the way Jesus prayed. It is followed with two hours of practical application.

Humility is a one hour of instruction which contrasts true and false humility as well as a compares humility with confidence.

Peacemaking, otherwise known as biblical arbitration, is two hours of instruction on the purpose and biblical processes for keeping the peace.

Faith is one hour of instruction. By the time this seminar is attended many students will already have a practical understanding of true faith. Therefore, this instruction is to provide a biblical foundation.

Authority must be achieved if anyone is to move mountains. Therefore, it will be a good three hours long in order to undo the lies that set themselves up against the truth in scripture.

Biblical Dream Interpretation - one hour

Biblical and Accurate Prophesy - one hour

Healing - one hour

Signs and Wonders - one hour

There are two levels of participation available to all individuals who wish to obtain the benefits a staff members:

Servant Member

Servant Manager

Both positions require the following commitments are maintained:

A "Sacred Trust" must be completed and maintained every month. Once your Sacred Trust is completed, it must be submitted to LC-IHOP along with a STAMPED self-addressed envelope and required monthly dues.

All applicable training must remain current on a monthly bases.

All applicable state and federal licensure must be current at all times.

All staff members agree to remain self-employed and to seek no remuneration of any kind from LC-IHOP for volunteer services rendered.

Contributions

2009-08-11T13:38:00.000-07:00

Lamplighter Celebration is organized as a non-profit corporation to build God's house of prayer after the model established by Joseph in Genesis, King David and Jesus and His disciples. It is currently unable to offer any tax advantage as it has not been legally established. If your desire to give is undaunted, please feel free to give to one of the following:

Lamplighter's Celebration is not affiliated with the International House of Prayer in Kansas City but there are a lot of full-time intercessors there who would greatly appreciate your contributions. Here is an address where you can contact them by mail for more information:
International House of Prayer
3535 E. Red Bridge Road
Kansas City, Missouri 64137

Another way to contribute is to purchase the products and services of the Intercessory Missionaries serving Lamplighter's Celebration. These people are attempting to follow the Apostle Paul's example of working to provide for their own needs in order to not cause offense against the Gospel of Christ Jesus in the hearts of those who do not understand God's purpose for finances. You may reach these missionaries via the "Tent" ministries listed on the front page.

If you still desire to give gifts directly to LC-IHOP, please keep looking here for the means to do so in the future. This is a feature that will be established after the legal nightmare for incorporation and computer programming is finished. Please pray for us to finish the task and for the means to accomplish it.

A Guest

2009-08-11T13:27:00.000-07:00

LC-IHOP guests are all those individuals who have not committed to and submitted a sacred trust agreement. Guests are permitted to brows the LC-IHOP web site, attend publicly held functions and shop at the official LC-IHOP store provided the individuals agree to conduct themselves according to the posted rules of the establishment.

LC-IHOP Combined 24/7 Calendar

2009-08-11T12:21:00.000-07:00

Clubs

2009-04-17T11:41:00.000-07:00

Clubs are small groups of people who agree to meet once a week to worship God, interceded before God on man's behalf, study the words of God together and then serve their local community voluntarily. These four steps are called the "Block." Clubs may meet in libraries, homes or out in the wild wherever the members of that club agree before volunteering in their community. Thus, different types of clubs can be built to meet different needs while God is glorified in the meeting. Here are a few examples:

single family weekly devotions at home,
quilting clubs that make quilts for newly weds, new parents or first time home buyers etc.,
free automotive service to widows,
small group bible studies at colleges, day care centers, and retirement facilities, combined with volunteer services,
worship practice before leading worship at church or performing for retirement facilities,
employers partnering with their employees may encourage tithing time while volunteering to provide free services to the community.
high school students can meet and then go shovel the snow or mow the lawn for some elderly person
parents may form a club to home school their children
larger clubs can organize to make-over someone's home or yard.
a club of two people can meet together and worship then clean someone's bathroom.

These are all examples of various ways different clubs can serve the community as volunteer servants. All clubs who agree to the conditions defined by LC-IHOP will be listed in the LC-IHOP Events Calender located at the bottom of the front page of this blog.

As the number of clubs increase, the clubs are grouped into small geographic regions to better serve the general populous of that small region. As more people within that region begin to live a fasted lifestyle based upon the block and slowly increase their committed hours, they will begin to form a community committed to loving God first and considering others before ourselves.

Leadership Direction

2008-08-04T18:10:00.001-07:00

It is very hard to write a corporate personnel chart to describe the positions of leadership because of what God has written in His Holy Bible. Check it out:

Matthew 23:7-12 (NASB95)
6 "They love the place of honor at banquets and the chief seats in the synagogues, 7 and respectful greetings in the market places, and being called Rabbi by men. 8 "But do not be called Rabbi; for One is your Teacher, and you are all brothers. 9 "Do not call anyone on earth your father; for One is your Father, He who is in heaven. 10 "Do not be called leaders; for One is your Leader, that is, Christ. 11 "But the greatest among you shall be your servant. 12 "Whoever exalts himself shall be humbled; and whoever humbles himself shall be exalted.

For this reason, anyone seeking to be involved in leadership will be rejected. No exceptions. When authoritative positions are needed for the sake of accomplishing common goals, servants will be selected in the same manner demonstrated in Acts 6:1-6.

Hebrews 8:8-12 (NASB95)
8 For finding fault with them, He says, "BEHOLD, DAYS ARE COMING, SAYS THE LORD, WHEN I WILL EFFECT A NEW COVENANT WITH THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL AND WITH THE HOUSE OF JUDAH;
9 NOT LIKE THE COVENANT WHICH I MADE WITH THEIR FATHERS ON THE DAY WHEN I TOOK THEM BY THE HAND TO LEAD THEM OUT OF THE LAND OF EGYPT; FOR THEY DID NOT CONTINUE IN MY COVENANT, AND I DID NOT CARE FOR THEM, SAYS THE LORD.
10 "FOR THIS IS THE COVENANT THAT I WILL MAKE WITH THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL AFTER THOSE DAYS, SAYS THE LORD: I WILL PUT MY LAWS INTO THEIR MINDS, AND I WILL WRITE THEM ON THEIR HEARTS. AND I WILL BE THEIR GOD, AND THEY SHALL BE MY PEOPLE.
11 "AND THEY SHALL NOT TEACH EVERYONE HIS FELLOW CITIZEN, AND EVERYONE HIS BROTHER, SAYING, 'KNOW THE LORD,' FOR ALL WILL KNOW ME, FROM THE LEAST TO THE GREATEST OF THEM.
12 "FOR I WILL BE MERCIFUL TO THEIR INIQUITIES, AND I WILL REMEMBER THEIR SINS NO MORE."

For this reason, there will be no pulpits, video cameras, microphones or any other mechanisms which will facilitate the exaltation of one person over another. All announcements will be accomplished via email to members of this blog. All teaching will be facilitated in groups of no more that 13 individuals per group, 12 students of Jesus and one servant facilitator forbidden to teach. These groups will be known as E-12 groups.

John 16:5-16 (NASB95)
5 "But now I am going to Him who sent Me; and none of you asks Me, 'Where are You going?' 6 "But because I have said these things to you, sorrow has filled your heart. 7 "But I tell you the truth, it is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you; but if I go, I will send Him to you. 8 "And He, when He comes, will convict the world concerning sin and righteousness and judgment; 9 concerning sin, because they do not believe in Me; 10 and concerning righteousness, because I go to the Father and you no longer see Me; 11 and concerning judgment, because the ruler of this world has been judged. 12 "I have many more things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. 13 "But when He, the Spirit of truth, comes, He will guide you into all the truth; for He will not speak on His own initiative, but whatever He hears, He will speak; and He will disclose to you what is to come. 14 "He will glorify Me, for He will take of Mine and will disclose it to you. 15 "All things that the Father has are Mine; therefore I said that He takes of Mine and will disclose it to you. 16 "A little while, and you will no longer see Me; and again a little while, and you will see Me."

For this reason, all spiritual manifestations will be scrutinized by the writings in the Holy Bible in order to determine the will of God in every matter.

Do you see how God wants to be the Leader, Father and Teacher of all of us? There are many more verses that support this desire in God's heart. The problem then arises when humans seek to fill these positions by looking to other humans. This grieves God just as it grieved God when the Israelites sought a human king like the other nations around them. Check it out in 1 Samuel 8.

Now combine this with the fact that all legal entities must be licensed in this country as some form of business and the problem gets even more difficult. How do you gather the people of like minds together to minister to God and establish Him as King when such an act is very nearly tantamount to an act of treason? To remove man's authority in education, government, and social accountability by making God our educator, leader or governor and father or social standard is to be friend with God, but an enemy to the world. So how do you gather to minister to God as King without committing treason against your own country whose government has been raised up by God? The answer is submit to governing authorities.

With this in mind, Lamplighter's Celebration as an organization of like minds must submit to the laws of corporations within this country. This means Lamplighter's Celebration must define a governing counsel pursuant to these laws. Therefore, Lamplighter's Celebration has been organized as a corporation with one apostle to fill the position as president and 24 governing elders as board members.

These governing servants are required to complete all requirements prior to election into office. They are individuals who have been recognized by the membership as having many of the qualifications of a true apostle as set forth in the Bible. Each holds the required current State and Federal licensure for their field of study. Each one has undergone extensive biblical studies within their specific field of authority to determine God's will in their respective areas of government. All servant elders report directly and equally to the apostle and are responsible for ONLY one branch of authority. For a description of the 12 branches click here. You can see our organizational chart by clicking here.

As members decrease and become servants to the community, Jesus will increase in the eyes of the community. Thus, members will become eligible for authoritative positions.

Who We Are

2008-07-28T15:09:00.000-07:00

Lamplighter's Celebration (LC-IHOP) is a group of like minded individuals who seek to enjoy God together. We meet in small clubs all around the world to worship God, study His words, intercede and to serve His beloved creation. The "Block" is the model LC-IHOP's clubs employ to build upon a calendar until there is 24/7 worship, prayer, intersession and community service in every city, town or province around the world. All the "blocks" accomplished regularly by each club will be added to Lamplighter's Event calender to invite members to their club. Once a club has reached its maximum membership, it is removed from the Events calendar and added to the 24/7 calendar for their region. The goal... 24/7 worship and prayer of God, the creator of heaven and earth, around the world and 100% unity in Jesus, the Messiah.

Individual Participation Opportunities

2008-07-18T18:42:00.001-07:00

Here is a list of different ways individuals may participate with any of the official LC-IOHP functions:

as a staff volunteer or volunteer leader,
as a contributor,
as a guest

Staff Volunteers

2008-07-18T18:40:00.000-07:00

Individuals who have dedicated their lives to calling for regeneration of the earth to prepare it for the return of Yahshua Ha Mashiach. Dedication means these individuals pursue the revelation of the light of the knowledge of the glory of Yahshua Ha Mashiach through continual prayers, fastings, searching for God in His words, servant-hood to the surrounding community, and self denial of earth's bounty in exchange for eternal rewards stored up for them in heaven. In demonstration of their commitment, these individuals are in the process of scaling down their lifestyles so they can pursue this endeavor without the cares of the world to choke out the words of God.

Staff volunteers who serve in private homes must do so in small groups of two to three. Those who volunteer for organizations may do so individually. Volunteers are given permission by the recipient to sing or pray while on the premises to bless and edify all who draw breath.

If you know of someone in need of assistance, please understand that the volunteers are directed by God as to who, when, where, and how they serve. There are plans to develop a waiting list for volunteers to know where the need is but that list is not yet available. Please be patient.

Purpose Statement

2008-07-18T18:39:00.001-07:00

The purpose of Lamplighter’s Celebration, an International House of Prayer (LC-IHOP), is to build a community of volunteer servants who exist for the sole purpose of ministering to God by working together to accomplish the following seven goals.

LC-IHOP’s first goal is to love the Lord our God with all our hearts, minds, strength, and souls then to love our neighbors as ourselves, Mark 12:30-31.
1. Members will be provided an environment in which they may corporately pursue the knowledge of God directly from God in accordance with Matthew 23:8-12; John 16:5-16; Hebrews 8:8-11; and 1 John 2:26-27.
2. Members will be held corporately accountable for the knowledge they individually receive from God, 1 Peter 3:15, and will be subject to that knowledge, Matthew 12:6; Luke 12:47-48; John 9:41, 13:17, 15:22-24; Romans 1:20-21, 32, 2:17-23; James 4:17.
3. Members will be given the privilege to corporately “keep” the word of God according to Deuteronomy 4:2, 10; 1 Kings 6:12; Joshua 1:13; 1 Chronicles 16:15; Psalms 119:67, 101, 127:1; Jeremiah 23:36; John 8:55, 14:23-24, 15:20; Hebrew 13:7; 2 Peter 3:2; Jude 1:17; Revelation 3:10.

LC-IHOP’s second goal is to bring mankind into the unified one mind of Christ:
1. Unity within the LC-IHOP context is defined as 100% agreement with 100% of the words of God as recorded in the Bible. This unity gives no place for man’s interpretation or conjecture. In other words, if any person has not found explicit clarification on a given topic within the Bible, the topic is to be treated as a disputable matter and closed for discussion until significant research into the Bible yields explicit instruction on the matter. Research into the Holy words of God must not nullify other explicit words found in the Bible or the research will be considered from Satan. THE BIBLE PROVES THE BIBLE or the teachings are rejected, John 14:10.
2. Unity with God will be accomplished by:
  1. Establishing as part of membership a common ground environment for God to communicate who God says He is directly to the members of His choosing, Matthew 11:27; Luke 10:22; John 1:18, 3:32, 6:46, 14:6-9, 17:3, 6:25-26; 1 John 3:6, 4:12, 20.
  2. Providing every individual the freedom to research God’s claims both corporately and independently in an environment conducive to hearing from God, Isaiah 41:9, 45:4, 65:1-16, 66:4; Matthew 22:1-14, Luke 6:13; 1 Peter 2:9; Revelation 17:14.
  3. Establishing as part of membership a code of conduct to co-exist without hostility between different ethnic groups, religious groups and political agendas while everyone searches for the truth on their own, Deuteronomy 17:12; Proverb 24:21; Ecclesiastes 8:1-5, 10:4; Matthew 22:21, 23:2-3, Romans 13:1-7, 14; Titus 3:1-7. Said code of conduct shall restrict individual behavior, appearance and speech to a predefined, accepted, and agreed upon code of conduct as defined in LC-IHOP’s policies and procedures in order to provide a secure environment for service.
  4. Providing membership the freedom to search and discover the truth individually without condemnation and without retribution should the individual maintain different opinions or fail to agree with the teachings of the established leadership, Acts 17:11; 1 John 4:1-21.
  5. As unity in the body increases through individual acceptance and agreement with the words of God as literal truth without human interpretation, members will be given the privilege to increase their service to God within the LC-IHOP corporate structure.

The third goal will be to re-establish Israel into her rightful position as One who rules with God as evidenced by God’s authority, Isaiah 62, Romans 9-11. This will be accomplished by:
1. Proclaiming God’s promises over her until she believes and walks in them.
2. Interceding for the remission of her sins and restoration of her identity before her Creator.
3. Dedicating resources as needed to the fulfillment of prophesies written in the Torah.

LC-IHOP’s fourth goal is to build a web based communication network of individuals who have agreed to dedicate their lives and resources to minister sacrificially before the Creator who created heaven and earth:
1. In a joint effort of non-stop worship and intercession,
2. In building up and preparing His bride in humility into the fullness of God,
3. In obedience to God’s ordained authority whether social, governmental or spiritual as established by His written word, the Holy Bible,
4. In monetarily prospering God’s kingdom that no one would be in lack, Acts 4:32.
  1. By giving whether out of wealth or poverty.
  2. By owning and operating businesses for the purpose of funding God’s kingdom purposes.

LC-IHOP’s fifth goal which will be achieved by the time Christ returns is to redeem creation by:
1. Restoring the land to it’s original beauty through singing of the new song, Exodus 15:2; Psalms 40:3; 98; 118:14; Isaiah 12:2; John 4:24, 6:63.
2. Removing the curse from creation through preaching the gospel of Christ Jesus though all creation, Mark 16:15, and returning creation back to God’s rule, 1 Corinthians 15:28.
3. Providing the proper food for all life as it is written in Genesis 1:29-30.
4. Restoring the garden for the purpose of encountering God, the Father.

LC-IHOP’s sixth goal will be to establish a city of refuge before the coming war between the servants of Christ and the anti-christ by:
1. Maintaining a house of worship for the public to “run into God” and be saved.
2. Maintaining an environment where everyone is healed of all sicknesses, pains, and deformities.
3. Maintaining an environment where people are raised from the dead.
4. Petitioning the Lord Jesus Christ to make our cities a safe zone where the implements of war cannot penetrate and cause harm to the land or inhabitants.

LC-IHOP’s seventh goal will be to protect the shepherds of God’s bride from God’s wrath prophesied in Jeremiah 12:10-14 by:
1. Removing the public eye from pastors, teachers, evangelists, prophets, and apostles as God will not share His glory with anyone yet at the same time giving them a outlet to function freely in the gifts of Holy Spirit.
2. Removing man’s conjecture and traditions in order to return to the pure words that proceed from the mouth of God as He desires in Hebrews 8:8-12 and Isaiah 54:13.

What is an International House Of Prayer?

2008-07-18T18:36:00.000-07:00

Simply stated, an international house of prayer is a community of like minded servants who have committed to unify themselves with Yahshuah Ha Mashiach by doing what He does just as He did what the Father did. Prayer, fasting, serving, giving, and studying the words of God where just a few things Jesus did while on earth. Therefore, this house of prayer is committed to following Jesus' example of the way, the truth and the life through:

Intercession - standing before God on man's behalf

Holiness - dedicating our lives to God in every way,

Obedience - doing the things our Father in heaven does,

Praise - lifting up our voices rejoicing in God and delighting in man

With this in mind, Lamplighter's Celebration is committed to continually taking Christ's yoke upon us and to do what He did through Intercession, Holiness, Obedience, and Praise. These are the works Mary pursued about which Jesus said "...but only one thing is necessary, for Mary has chosen the good part, which shall not be taken away from her," Luke 10:42. King David chose the very same "good part."

One thing I have asked from the LORD, that I shall seek: That I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, To behold the beauty of the LORD And to meditate in His temple. Psalm 27:4

LC-IHOP's Cube

2008-07-18T18:34:00.001-07:00

Lamplighter's Celebration is a group of people who have committed to give Glory to God by: 1) agreeing with and speaking His words, 2) accompanying Him in what he does, 3) rejoicing in the Father, and 4) delighting ourselves in mankind. We meet together in four hour blocks of time which are four of the six commitments we share in common known as cubes. LC-IHOP's cube has one side for every equally weighted commitment to God. The commitments are as follows:

One hour per week of community service
One hour per week of word keeping
One hour per week of corporate worship
One hour per week of private intercession
One tenth of all increase gifted to God
One day per month set aside to seek the Lord in a fast

Cubes may be accomplished anywhere and at anytime satisfactory to those who have agreed to meet together. However, to be included on LC-IHOP calendar, facilitators of cubes must graduate from all required training and the hours of word keeping, corporate worship, and private intercession must be accomplished consecutively and in the following order:

Corporate Worship
Word Keeping
Private Intercession

This consecutive requirement and order are imposed merely for the purposes of tracking the 24/7 status within a given region. This is necessary as only one notice per cube will be posted to the calendars. Thus, those individuals who do not have the time to spend three straight hours seeking the Lord can work their schedule around multiple cubes at different times in the week.
