“… and cried with a loud voice, as when a lion roars. When he cried out, seven thunders uttered their voices.” Revelation 10:3 (NKVJ)
What exactly is “7Thunders?"
Presently based in Kansas City, Missouri, 7Thunders is the traveling ministry for Kirk & Dee Bennett. It enables them to function in their roles at IHOP-KC as well as minister life into houses of prayer and praying churches world wide.
When was 7Thunders founded?
On a date marked with the Father’s stamp of destiny, October 3, 1999, the Bennett family received a 911 call that changed their lives. That call was Amos 9:11, “On that day I will raise up the tabernacle of David, which has fallen down, and repair its damages; I will raise up its ruins, and rebuild it as in the days of old…”
In a 3 week long period, 6 additional thunderous prophetic words and several other prophetic tokens, the Lord undeniably confirmed that Kirk and his family were to give themselves to the rebuilding of the tabernacle of David. It was clear to them this was to occur in the context of the International House of Prayer in Kansas City and throughout the earth.
What are the core elements of 7Thunders?
In the six months following the Lord’s October 3rd summons, 3 foundation stones were clearly laid out for the Bennett clan as they began shaping and forming 7Thunders into a tangible ministry.
Those 3 stones are as follows:
- Ministering to the Lord
- Going to the Nations & Preaching to the Poor
- Reproducing the Priesthood of the New Testament Believer
