My move to KC

Dear friends, I have a big news announcement. I will be moving to Kansas City to be a part of IHOP. At first, it came to me as a big surprise but now is becoming increasingly clear that this is what I am supposed to do. I am thinking of moving somewhere around the end of September-mid October'09, as GOD wills! So here we go!
There are definitely some hurdles to cross in order for that to happen. I need favor with my R1 status, both with IHOP, KC and with the government. I also need upto $1200 to be able to process my R1 papers. But I am confident in the LORD that He is able to see me through even as He has called me. I would like to invite you to partner with me on this amazing journey that the LORD has me on. Please pray for favor and finances. If you feel led to give financially towards me, you may do so by either writing a personal check for 'Gayathri Sundaresan' or give a donation through ZHOP.
It is becoming increasingly clear to me that it is Righteousness to seek the face of God. He is truly inviting an entire generation to seek His face with a radical pursuit. Oh what a privilege! I believe that this is His mercy strategy over America and even to the Nations. I pray that we would be filled with the knowledge of His will in this hour.

Many Blessings and Shalom in Christ.

Entering into the Shabbat rest

Dear friends, the Zadok House of Prayer is going through a big transition/ change. As some you might know our directors and the entire vision team leadership is moving back to Kansas city. It really came as a big surprise. It's hard to envision them leave but I'm happy for them. As for me, I AM STAYING! After praying and fasting for about a week, I finally have clarity on what the Lord is telling me personally. I am looking forward to the leadership of Greg & Caryn Burnett. They are really amazing people. Besides, I get to live in their house!!! It's an awesome privilege and I love them dearly.
This change has been about entering into the Shabbat rest of God, for me. My heart is finally settled in Him. I can go another day 'coz I know I'll see His face! As much as it has been a journey of the cross for me {in that I die daily}, yet my reward has been so much greater each time. I really have nothing to lose. God is my shield and my exceeding great reward!
He, who is the keeper of Yisrael, has kept me too. My soul will yet praise Him!

Hope you are all doing well. Many Blessings and Shalom in Christ....

Transition

As some of you might know, ZHOP-Charlotte is moving! Our lease will be up in August and the leadership team has been in prayer these last couple of months and have looked into some possible places to set up the tabernacle, so to speak. We have changed buildings in the past but this move is proving to be both different and significant. Different because, the Lord is showing us that it is no longer about a 'building' but about 'a people', a dwelling place for the Father in the city of Charlotte. He is really shifting our paradigms.
It is also a significant transition because, the Lord is shrinking us from a day and night house of prayer to just a day-time HOP for a season, however long that season would last. It has taken great humility on the part of our Director to step down from the 24-7 banner for a season for the sake of the staff, since he felt the need to strengthen us and build us up in this season. His desire is to raise up musicians & singers who would carry an excellent spirit in this hour.

In light of this transition, I will be coming off of Night Watch and will be moving into Mornings (8pm-2pm). It has been a little hard for a lot of us, but at the same time we are all learning to trust in the Lord's leadership together. At the end of the day, I believe this transition will prove to be good for all of us. The Father really knows what is best for His children!
So please be praying for us for continued direction and clarity and also that we would experience His abundant joy and grace in this season.

May the Lord bless you richly in this season.

Shalom....in Christ.

Shavuot

The Feast of Pentecost (Feast of Weeks)
Lev23:15-22

Beloved ones, this year the feast of Shavuot falls on May 29, 2009. Counting 50 days from the day after the start of Pesach (Passover), we arrive at the feast of Weeks.

In the days of old when the Lord descended on Mount Sinai in the midst of thunderings, lightenings and thick smoke and gave the Torah to the Israelites, in the same manner, Ruach Ha Kodesh [Holy Spirit] descended upon the disciples in the Temple as Tongues of fire, on the day of Pentecost.
Acts 2:1 tells us that: "When the day of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place." The disciples were probably gathered to celebrate Shavuot, one of the three pilgrim feasts.

The true purpose of Shavuot is to be endued with power and be a witness of Christ. My prayer therefore, for you is that on this auspicious day may you have an encounter with the HOLY SPIRIT .

Many Blessings and Shalom in Christ!

It is a blessing to journey with you and a privilege to share what I am learning on this adventure! Join me on this pilgrimage into the vast depths of the knowledge of God. I pray this blog will provoke you to intimacy with Him.

The calling in God is to know Him and to make Him known!
For knowledge of God is better than burnt offerings!
