This week, Ken and Grant speak with Craig Keener. They discuss the importance of Biblical literacy and the role of the teacher gift in the church. Craig S.

Four manifestations of the gift of tongues:
1. Tongues for intercession 
2. Tongues for the sacred assembly 
3. Tongues as a sign for the unbeliever  
4. Tongues for self-edification 
"You can't just make up tongues. You can't just start speaking in Italian. It has to be a part of God's will." - Adam Thompson. 
"You don't have to go to a location to encounter God's presence. You can be a Bethel on legs if you know what I mean." - Adam Thompson.
"The only sacrifice we need to know God is worship." - Adam Thompson. 
"God won't give you the drive-thru McDonald's quick prophetic word because He desires intimacy." - Adam Thompson.

S5E15 - IGNITION conference



Ken and Grant discuss many events that have transpired at IHOPKC (International House of Prayer-Kansas City). Many of the people involved have been guests on the GINAT podcast. Ken has also participated in mystery events with IHOP leaders from time to time. Although this is a complex subject layered with a long history, Ken feels impressed to speak about IHOP. 
 
We long for your faith to be encouraged and the fire of the Holy Spirit to ignite in your life by hearing these discussions. We look forward to what God has in store for all of us living and working in His Kingdom as we prove to our world that "God is not a Theory."

"We don't want to fail to acknowledge that victimization occurred at IHOP." -Ken Fish
 
"I concluded that Mike would never return to ministry." -Ken Fish 
 
"When the 'love bank' as they refer to in marriage counseling, or the trust reservoir goes dry, it takes a very long time to build it back up." - Ken Fish.
 
 "We have to be scrupulous about how we live, knowing that it isn't always easy and that temptation is real; if we aren't going to do that, I don't know how we are ever going to present any sort of witness to the World." -Ken Fish 
 
"God can heal, and people do not need to be ruined for life." -Ken Fish 
 
"Know this, my beloved brothers: let every person be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger; for the anger of man does not produce the righteousness of God." -James1:19-20 (ESV)
 
"Fleeing is preferable to failing." -Ken Fish 
 
How should we think like a Christian and pray in these times? 
1.    Pray for healing for those who were victimized because God can heal! 
2.    We should pray for mercy for those who have made the mistakes. 
3.    We have to pray for our hearts to remain soft and guarded so we do not fall away from our faith. 
4.     If you find yourself in a situation of temptation - FLEE! Cut the lines and run.
