More than just a Singer, a prophetic singer is one who prophesies through their song. The primary worship model used in the house is called the Harp and Bowl Model, which received it’s name from the reference to the 24 elders holding bowls of incense and playing harps to God in Rev 5:8-10. This type of singing is called antiphonal singing, meaning back and forth.
The deep impact of music on the soul has long been understood and accepted in the church. “Bring me a musician.” (2 Kings 3:15) has often been the cry of the people. We at the LAHOP are also dedicated to creating an atmosphere saturated with music, that ushers in the presence of the Lord easily and softens the hearts of the people.
The arts have been one of the greatest gifts God has given the church. We at the LAHOP feel that God is beginning to restore them to their rightful place as key expressions of the person of Jesus, for all desires and hobbies were first in Him. Therefore, we have created a special place within the House of Prayer devoted fully to the arts. Painters, sketchers, and even doodlers are welcome to come and use the supplies provided, or bring their own, to partner with the creative God in expressing who He is.
The Lord calls us all to “Watch and pray” (Matt 25:13). Therefore, we at the LAHOP have created times of intercession and prayer for our area to do just that. Watchmen specifically are those who have no musical skill or are too shy to pray at the microphone, yet are recognized by the house as key intercessors and participants in what the Lord has for our region. They are the dedicated ones who are really the backbone of the entire prayer movement and bring encouragement to everyone in the house. Would that we all would be Watchmen!
This is one of the more technical positions, and although training is offered, a good working knowledge of sound systems and their functions is a must. We offer quality sound equipment and a fabulous recording system using 'Pro Tools 7.3'. We also use a digital system for our c.d. playing, teachings, and web-streaming. At this time we are not 24 hours a day, so to “stand in the gap” we play CD’s when there is not live worship. There are many options and ways to worship the Lord. Come worship Him with your technological skills.
Jesus Himself is our “Great Intercessor” (Hebrews 7:25). And carrying a prayer burden for others is one of the noblest things in the kingdom of heaven. Those who have a heart to continually ask God what He wishes to do in an area, and then have the dedication to pray until that reality is made manifest are what we call our Prayer Leaders or Intercessors.
Most people don’t consider dancing to be a part of worship to the Lord anymore. At best it is a performance that we sit down and watch, not one that is participated in. Throughout our experience at the house of prayer one of the primary things prophesied over people is to dance before the Lord.
We believe that the Scriptures clearly proclaim God to be a Healer. Jesus clearly demonstrated this reality many times during His earthly ministry.
Matthew 4:23
“And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all manner of sickness and all manner of disease among the people.”
Every community member at the House of Prayer makes time to help in the daily workings of the community, it keeps us humble and solidifies our family atmosphere. There are many 'keep me humble jobs' and projects available for volunteers of all types. Please volunteer to help in the House of the Lord.
Various paper work, calls, etc. are needed to keep the House of Prayer running smoothly.
