HONOR JESUS CHRIST OPEN HEAVENLY GATES
Gateway House of Prayer (GHOP) exists to honor Jesus Christ and open heavenly gates for regional transformation over Lancaster County, PA and the surrounding regions through day and night worship and prayer. We believe that this vision is part of the manifestation of the rebuilding of David’s Tabernacle which James spoke about in Acts 15:15-17…
“And wit
h this the words of the prophets agree, just as it written: ‘After this I will return and will rebuild the tabernacle of David, which has fallen down; I will rebuild its ruins, and I will set it up; So that the rest of mankind may seek the Lord, even all the Gentiles who are called by My name,’ says the Lord who does all these things.”
WHAT IS THE TABERNACLE OF DAVID? According to passages in 1 Chronicles, chapters 16-25, David’s Tabernacle was a place for people to encounter, worship and inquire of God and a place for God to encounter His people as they worshiped on various instruments and prayed. Prophetic musicians were called by King David to worship, pray and prophesy before the Lord night and day. This was David’s desire… that God would be worshiped on earth just as He is in Heaven. People ask us occasionally, “Why do you want to worship Jesus 24/7.” Our typical response is simply, “He is worthy of it.” Human beings have supermarkets open for our convenience 24 hour per day, 7 days per week, 365 days per year. Shouldn’t the creator of all things be honored by His people night and day? It really has to do with our value system. And we value Him. Jesus Christ is worthy of our greatest efforts to believe, honor and obey Him. At GHOP, we seek to honor Him by providing Him non-stop praise and adoration from worshiping hearts. Jesus told us to pray for His Kingdom to come on earth “as it is in Heaven.”
“You are worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honor and power; For you created all things and by Your will they exist and were created.” – Revelation 4:11
