Deborah Hiebert co-wrote the book The Seven Longings of the Human Heart with Mike Bickle in 2005. She was part of the IHOP-KC leadership team until a few years ago, when she and her husband moved to Idaho to participate in a new ministry. While returning to IHOP-KC in January 2009, she gave this message at the Friday night Encountering God Service.
She actually does not talk very much about the 7 longings in her message (as she says, read the book...), but her story is powerful because she testifies to the reality of Jesus' good leadership and the possibility of keeping your heart alive in love for Him even while making life work with a family and children and ministry responsibilities.
