Worship

I sit here in the coffee shop yet again, another day but the same seat at the same table. I feel this part of me that is being filled; it’s been being filled by God. It’s filling so full that it’s pouring out all over me and drenching the feet of the people around me. It is a filling I’ve cried out for and desired in this way. I didn’t realize it was happening to me until last night in my bed room songs began to pour out of my heart, mind, soul, and mouth. Every part of my being was being filled with music. I was singing things I’ve never known, so beautiful, from the lips of God.

This filling is prophetic worship, being in the prayer room day and night I am being filled with music. Music lifted up in worship not from me or my being but worship from the lips and the heart of God. Being in the prayer room 12 hours a day I get to experience so many different prophetic worshipers. The words they sing come so freely, not forced, not even thought about, they just pour out of their mouths like a mighty river from the throne of the God. Such sweet, beautiful, powerful, moving and touching words come out like fire, every single time each and every one of them opens their mouths. Hour upon hour my ears and heart hear and feel the beauty of Gods heart and the moving he is doing in them and through them.

I have been being filled with words straight from the heart of God day after day. Since I was a baby I have sang prophetically, making up beautiful love songs about Jesus. Once even telling my mom at the age of four that my little friend was born to be shy and I was born to sing. I was born to sing, I take this gift and I’m running with it. I thank God ever day for it and I continue to thank him for the words he is putting in my heart. The new way of thinking, feeling, singing and describing he has placed in me. He has opened my heart to worship, placing my heart in a different place so that I may receive words from his lips and his heart, amongst the men and women here at IHOP-KC.

Next thing I know I have followed the movement into the prayer room, being drug in and all of a sudden hit with a cloud of prayer the instance my face hit the air incased inside the prayer room. Words of worship being lifted up by one of my most favorite female worship leaders here at IHOP-KC, Ashley Prior. The words from her lips came with love and power pouring out of her heart from the heart of the Lord. I felt a release in my spirit as I started to sing. There is so much beauty in worship, worshiping from your heart, giving all of yourself to God through your lips with love and genuine heart abandonment. Lifting my hands up high in awe and wonder of the Glorious King, he is all I need, all my heart desires.

God has given me a new wineskin, one that can contain all he is pouring into me. I was in desperate need of a new wineskin. He is stretching me and pressing me, making me into a beautiful, tasteful vine, a wine that he so desires. He is continually filling me up with worship and knowledge of his word. With the new heart he has given me, my worship comes from a different place now. Praise you Jesus for hearing my cry for your heart, answering me and filling my desire. God, may my wineskin always be full, that it may never come close to running dry. God, keep me full as I chase after you day and night. That there may be a constant flow from heaven to me that never ends. God, that I would pour it out and remain full. God, that I may forever pour out your heart and your love through worship and prayer. Praise you Jesus, all my soul praises your Holy name!
