So after a long road trip from Orlando, FL to Kansas City, MO nonstop, it's easy to estimate that I have been in a van for almost 22 hours! It was such a long but a fun day. So the UHOP gang and I arrived at IHOP-KC around 10:45 (central time) last night! The trip was remember-ful and the experience was wonderful.
So I greeted my brother at the door of his residence and I gave him a big hug! So after talking, eating, watching Mark Lowry, and just chilling (My brother, our friend Joel, and I)... we didn't go to bed until 2 a.m! Well, I woke up the next day and we just slowly got up in the morning, ate some breakfast and then after a while, Jonathan's friend (and now mine), Debi, came to pick us up to go to the prayer room. We sort-of got stuck in the cafeteria area and mingled for a little then ended not going to the prayer room but then Jonathan, Debi, and I decided to drive around looking for a barber shop... and then once we came back, which was around 2 p.m, we went into the prayer room... then soon after that a side room in the prayer room! Then we prayed in spiritual tongues for about 30 minutes just waiting upon the Lord! It was sooooo goooooood!
Then after staying another 30 mins in the prayer room we left to go back to the house for lunch. Then my brother and I just dove in the Word and then yea... we are going to the prayer room again right now!
See you guys later!

Another God-filled day!
Hello Beloved!
Well, God's continue to reveal Himself to me tremendously over these past few days! Today has just been so good, mainly because today is the first day of Spring Break, my mom and Kelly came to visit us UHOP'ers, and they also cooked for us a delicious meal that is greatly appreciated! Especially when in college... you take those good meals when you can... believe me! lol
Well after a good workout at the gym, my mom and Kelly picked me up from my dorm and brought me over to the Scheplington's (combined last names. lol) crib. Once I got there I found out that my roommate left to go home already, so that was said.... anyways! So I sat and relaxed while reminiscing the smell of good food while just checking my facebook... then after we (Luke, Carrie, Kelly, Jordan, Matt, Casi, and my mom) ate and were full. Then we got together to watch Furious Love! No matter how many times I watch that movie, something always strikes my heart! After being wrecked by the movie we just started talking about Jesus and everything He loves!
So after a while of chitter-chatter... Kelly recommends that we just turn off the lights and nt the quiet just focus on God and ask Him to open our eyes and ears for about 5 mins and then share it... So we did that for 5 minutes and when we shared everything it was about an hour and a half later before we were done! God showed me a bicycle in fading light, a waterfall that was like alive... crashing over me, and then He told me to look up and He asked me what I saw... and I said I saw a ceiling (lol). Well, this is the revelation. A bicycle is powered manually, and the waters represent the Spirit. Not by might and not by power, but by His Spirit! The season of me doing things on my own strength has now come to a fading end and now it's time to live a life that is constantly relying on the Spirit! As for the ceiling, I heard saw there was no ceiling in Heaven... I didn't really know what that meant, but I'm pretty sure it means it's an OPEN HEAVEN! It was so exciting and listening to what everyone else got and how it related was just quite awesome! So we are going to definitely to do this more often! =)
I leave for Kansas City in exactly 24 hours!!! I'm super excited! I get to see my brother and meet all of my friends up there and just soak in the prayer room! God's been such a blessing in my life! There so much that goes on that I just can't even begin to express in words! He loves me so much! He takes care of me! And He is such a faithful and loving teacher! I'm learning all types of stuff with the Holy Spirit as my teacher! I love living this extravagant life of devotion! God, continue to grow in me! I am yours and You are mine... FOREVER! Haha that's so awesome!!
Well, I'm going to go to bed!

Kansas City for Spring Break!
Hello again everybody,
Yes, the rumors are true! I, Daniel Bryan, will be heading up to the Midwest, more specifically Kansas City, and even more specifically IHOP-KC! After a long (at least it seems) time of school and working hard and such... I finally get rewarded by going on a road trip with a spectacular group of people which include Casi, Matt, and Luke to KC! On the way back it will be Elizabeth, Carrie, Casi, Matt, and Luke (and maybe Jace Olsen. lol)! I'm uber excited about this trip! The memories that will be made, the excitement of what's going to go down, and I GET TO SEE MY BROTHER!!!
It's going to be a nice and well deserved week! I actually just got done with ALL of my class midterm assignments! So much stuff to do! I pulled an all-nighter last night just doing art, art, art! Of course, I did that after our 2nd UHOP revival meeting. =)
So... I need to start thinking about what to bring with me to KC... Hmmmm... For the road trip I need to make an EPIC play-list... get like a bucket of Twizzlers (It will put me in such a good mood! lol)! Get some song writing done... and meditating on His Word while just being overwhelmed and sharing the exciting and beloved Jesus that we know!
Well pray for me everyone that I will be rested this week and that God will be glorified through and in me while in KC. That I will behold His glory and be launched into a life of extravagant devotion for His sake!
I leave with this! Psalms 24:3-8! Meditate on that... God's going to unpack something to whoever reads that verse with an open ear and a open heart! =)
Blessings beloved!

Univeristy House of Prayer and My Involvement!
University House of Prayer (UHOP), an outreach of the Orlando House of Prayer (OHOP), is a prayer room dedicated to reaching the colleges and universities in the Orlando area in the atmosphere of night and day prayer. UHOP will be a prayer room dedicated to training and raising up college students to be forerunners like John the Baptist (John 1:6-8). We desire to train and equip these young adults while they are in this pivotal point of their lives; to fall in love with the Man Jesus, be able to hear His voice, and strive to follow His leading.
____________________________________________________________________________
This is the blessed ministry that I get to be a part of! Words cannot express the joy in my heart for what God's doing.
I'm currently on leadership at the University House of Prayer. I worship lead, teach music theory/harp & bowl, and help out with the media... though all of that stuff is good and all... but I find my most joy in being one who gazes upon Him in the place of prayer (Psalms 27:4), leading people in the exaltation of the One who is worthy, holy, and completely greater than! There is no greater purpose than being a vessel of His glory!
Well anyways, God is raising us up at UHOP in leadership... to be excellent, holy, righteous, wise, and established so that we can equip our generation in every way possible to prepare for His coming! What an important season in my life. I have to pay attention to every moment. I don't want to miss this! God's moving and I'm on board!
- Be blessed everyone!
P.S. If you would like to support me as an intercessor at UHOP you can donate at the bottom of my blog, and if you want to give to UHOP, go to our web page and click donate and specify that your supporting UHOP.
Thanks!

Encountering God's Glory
Okay so tonight was just... I honestly don't have words to describe, but I'll try my best!
God encountered us at UHOP in a tremendous way. First of all, throughout the day God had been doing something in my heart. I was not satisfied with where I was in God. I was trying to use the right word to try and describe the way I felt... after a while it finally came to me. I felt like stagnant waters. There was no activity, no stirring, no ripples. Little did I know I was just in the eye of the storm though. lol
Okay, so I guess it's from the combination of school and responsibilities and such has gotten me pretty drained but it was something more... I felt empty. I had nothing to offer... at least in the way that I thought. I have been constantly worship leading at UHOP (something I love to do) and I just felt like if I continue like this I won't make it... so I felt a lack in many areas... I longed to encounter the Fear of God, spend more time in the Word, seek wisdom and knowledge, strive for excellence, live a holy and righteous life, and there are so many areas that I wanted to improve on or to become more diligent in... Little did I know that God was going to wreck me tonight.
So we started off with worship. Casi and I were talking about how we need to encounter the fear of the Lord so that's what we wanted to pray for. We also already decided to just become completely open for the Holy Spirit to come and to wait on Him. So we went into worship and praised Him for a while. Matthew Baker (fellow intercessor at UHOP) had something burning on his heart concerning the urgent message at IHOP-KC... After Matt shared, it wrecked us all... so we decided to watch a movie about revival and then we went back into worship... God completely took the wheel... I was definitely crying uncontrollably at the enormous mercy and grace He has blessed us with. He touched all of us in the room tremendously. I strongly felt the Lord stirring in hearts a zeal for His glory! After an intense worship we just took time prophecy over one another and talk about this new season that God has released us in.
Well there is about 3 more days till I head up to the Kansas City with some awesome peeps from UHOP and then back to school. But I'm going to tremendously enjoy sitting and soaking in the prayer room and chill with my brother... =)
Goodbye for now! =)
