PIM/Worship

Last week, I visited Power Invasion Ministries in Denver, CO for the first time. I had not even heard of this church before this past summer. They are a part of a network of small churches throughout the Denver area whose mission is to desperately pursue the presence of Jesus and to take the city for the Kingdom of Heaven. Prior to going, I had heard that PIM was a very unique church. I was not sure what to expect, but Gary Oates was going to speak, so I knew it would be good. I was right about that, but the worship completely took me by surprise. It was certainly the highlight of my time there.

Worship there, for the most part, was unrehearsed. They were prepared to a certain degree, but as soon as they started playing, they would wander into spontaneous songs as the Spirit led. As soon as they started playing, the weighty glory of God [Kabad] came down, and there was such an incredible anointing for intimacy with God. It was an atmoshere I had never before encountered in a service. I believe a primary reason the Spirit moved so heavily was because the worship leader did not "stick to the plan." He just sang the words that came out of his heart in the moment. I didn't want to leave God's presence.
