Worshipping at the IHOP

Adrienne I dropped in at the IHOP in Atlanta tonight. Not for pancakes, but for prayer and worship. The International House of Prayer - Atlanta : houses prayer and worhsip services 24 hours a day nearly 7 days a week.

We showed up a little after 8 PM and sat down in the "prayer room" which is more like a sanctuary with about 200 seats and stage for musicians. One young woman sang and played piano while another worshipped harmoniously. The singing was sweet and melodic and the Holy Spirit was clearly present. We were two of maybe half a dozen people in the prayer room with a few others off in a side room practicing guitar. Later exploration revealed a fellowship room with video games, pool tables etc., and a kitchen. Didn't see the recording studio, but their website claims to have one.

All-in-all and annointed way to spend an evening.

Imagine if you could join with others for an hour of prayer and worship any time the Spirit moved, night or day! Think about it....well?

Are you ready to make it happen?
