worship, worship, worship

I got to see two of the more famous IHOP worship leaders tonight - a miss Misty Edwards and a certain Matt Gilman. Misty was great and the presence of the Lord was obvious but it was Matt Gilman who made my evening. Well okay, if I'm honest, Jesus made my evening - Mr. Gilman was just a bonus. A fantastic bonus. I think that out of all the IHOP worship leaders, he is my favorite. He takes you straight to the throne room of God, he creates and atmosphere of complete abandon to Him. He draws out emotions and feelings in a way that I have not often seen done. He sings with a conviction and passion that causes my heart to respond. That is successful worship right there. Plus, he has an INCREDIBLE voice.

Props to you, Matt Gilman.
For listening to the Holy Spirit.
For singing out your love for Him.

If you don't know who Matt Gilman is or haven't heard any of his music, I would suggest checking out his album "Holy" (with Cory Asbury, overall worship leader for IHOP). It's amazing. Honestly.
