A Different Sort of Sunday

Today was day #5 of the current move of God at IHOP-KC. It's amazing to me how much can change in a week.

I got up and went to FCF this morning. We had been told last night that we would have services as usual this morning, with the Outpouring Service tonight. I was glad I went to service.

Tim led worship, and I honestly felt the intensity of worship again. I felt as if I was having a flashback to OneThing last year. It was intense, good, and anointed. I smiled the whole time.

Then Mike Bickle and Lou Engle came out and talked to the IHOP family about what was happening in our midst. I loved the fact that they didn't give themselves or any other staff members credit, but they gave the Lord credit. That was COOL. I also liked that they gave practical rules for what's happening so there is some order in the meetings. I had a deep respect for that too.

There was one comment that particularly spoke to me because I've been struggling with the lack of music in the meetings. We have worship music the first part of the meetings, and then we go into praying for different stuff. You know me, I love to pray, but I miss the Prayer Room where it's constant worship music all the time. I really do.

That being said, someone stated this morning not to get frustrated if you don't think you're receiving anything because you are even if you don't think you are. I'm a gal that gets filled up through worship music, not necessarily through others praying for me. Well, as in laying hands on me. I am a gal that can just sit before Him and get filled up. So that blessed me immensely. It seems obvious, but sometimes someone needs to point out the obvious for you to "get" something.

After soaking a bit, I went back out to drive the shuttle and finish my shift. I tell ya what, last week we only needed 3 drivers to do the shift it was so slow. Tonight we had 7 of us for most of it! It was BUSY.

However, about 6:30 I was able to go into the service. I knew I wouldn't have a seat, but I knew God would give me what I needed. I found a spot on the back wall, sat down, and just soaked. I didn't need prayer, as everything they were praying wasn't for me, so I just sat and sang when it was time to sing. I just soaked. It was GREAT. There was a bit more music than last night during the prayer times, which was better for me. I was glad I went in to service. It filled me up for the week ahead of me.

I left the service and finished out my shift driving. It was fun. I hope to drive some more this week because of the extra services this week.
