The Prayer Room

This . . .
The IHOP Kansas City 24/7 Prayer Room began in September 1999. They have joined together worship and intercession and are onging in their 9th year with 84 two hour worship sets a week. Each worship team has a leader with about ten musicians, singers, and a prayer leader. You can view the Prayer Room high quality webstream 24 hours a day for $10 a month. Go to www.fotb.com to check it out, or just click on IHOP in my good stuff links. The site also allows you to rewind, fast forward or jump back two hours at a time to which ever set you want to watch. I tell you this is VERY COOL! Check it out.

That . . .
Cory Asbury and Matt Gilman have a worship team that I am really connecting to. I just really like the whole group.
Cory plays the guitar and is the team leader; Matt plays the keyboard and leads some too. They both have a real gift for flowing in worship, I love their voices, and they bring great joy to the place of worship and prayer. Many on the worship team seem on the brink of breaking out into laughter as they lift their voices and instruments to the Lord.
They have a "teddy bear" kind of drummer who plays great and seems to always be trying to keep a straight face because he is having so much fun, but trying not to show it; a really fun bass player with dread locks and very fast fingers; the singer with the red high top sneakers who sometimes sings bass when they break into a capella 12 part harmony; the black singer guy who will just break out with something great with no warning bringing glee to everyone; another guy and girl who sing and try not to giggle too much; and an electric guitar player who brings great licks out of nowhere or somewhere.
.
This is That . . .
These worship leaders really, really really love Jesus and they so help me to enter in to worship. I don't know if I go up somewhere, or if someone comes down, but I really do encounter God many times while joining the prayer room on my lap top.
Check it out. It is not entertainment, but extravigant worship and I believe most pleasing to the Lord.

This is...so spot on Cory & Matt both are the real deal! The Lord has really put together a "dynamic duo" in this combination.

Great Post!
