Wow is all I can say, I have been attending church my whole entire life. I grew up in an East Texas town of 1200 people in which there were at least 10 different congregations and 90% of the town went to church. Every event in school or town always started with a prayer, so I am no stranger of the church. I've been to both small ,very personal ,churches as well as a few mega congregations throughout the United States and none of them has done for me what IHP has done for me. I truly felt the drenching power of the spirit of God for the first time of my entire life in this church. It has been such a spiritual blessing for me and my family that I can not begin to explain how much of a blessing it has been. I see post on here that are complaining about money this, money that, but the reality is that money is not the driving force of this church, the Holy Spirit is. Of coarse money is involved this is Los Angeles and everything cost money, every one of us spends money on things everyday from concerts to movies to who knows what else so why would it be such a hard thing to give some of that to a place that can benefit your life in such an amazing way. To me it seems like we should all be giving more of our money to lift up the house of God verses paying athletes multi-million dollar contracts to entertain us while being horrible role models for our children.Why must so many people think that church should be free that it does not cost anything to operate. There are churches out there that are closing there doors everyday due to a lack of financial means and nobody is going to change that if the people attending them do not tithe. Thank God for Pastor Mel and Desiree for their amazing gift and their desire to share it with us all, they have touched so many people and have built a beautiful house of the Lord through their awesome messages and a church full of spirit filled Christians who have experienced true blessing and freely want to give back financially for such an amazing blessing that is worth more than most of us could ever be able to repay. I am completely sober for the first time in over 20 years and I know for 100% that its only because of the high that I have found in the Holy Spirit. I did not even plan to sober up, it just happened, it was his plan for me and I know that if you want that change in life that so many are looking for, IHP can provide it for you if you give them a chance. What an amazing place I look forward to every Wed and Sunday and look forward to maturing spiritually. If you want a life changing experience, just try one service.
