One Thing House of Prayer

There are hundreds of Houses of Prayer all over the US and around the world. I had the pleasure of meeting Sarah Love who is from the One Thing House of Prayer in the Brandon/Tampa area. She came to OHOP last week so she could take a tour of OHOP and to network with us. It was great meeting her!
Here is an excerpt for their website:
Why Prayer As Worship
King David made that truth a living reality when he launched a national movement of singing and instrumentation that helped thrust Israel into her Divine destiny. He paid 4,000 full-time musicians and hundreds of prophetic singers to gaze day and night upon God as they sang the prayers of Zion. This was their primary occupation in life. They were employed in the Tabernacle of David, which combined worship with intercession that never ceased as it continued 24/7.

Many Christians love music, yet they do not have a revelation of the power of anointed music and worship. Onething has a vision to see music restored to the place of glory God intended for it. We must never allow prayer and worship to be reduced to form and function. God intended it to be the vehicle that transports us into the His glory.

Jeremiah 24:7 I will give them a heart to know Me, that I am the Lord. They will be My people, and I will be their God, for they will return to Me with all their heart.

OUR PURPOSE: Onething - To Love the Lord with all your heart, soul, mind and strength. Mark 12:30

OUR MISSION: To establish 24/7 prayer in the Greater Tampa area. Isaiah 62:6

Mission:

2. Calling. An aim or task that someone believes it is his or her duty to carry out or to which he or she attaches special importance and denoted special care.
