We use to do this... ever so often we'd call a Solemn Assembly where the brothers would close themselves up in the church and spend as many days as we could (up to 7 days) in the presence of the Lord. No preaching, no debating, just praying until we were weeping in God's presence. No food, just presenting our bodies as a living sacrifice before God. Oh, what a time of refreshing. What glory would feel the building.
Afterwards, we'd have a 7 day revival. My how the power would fall! I miss those days. I miss that one-on-one fellowship with the Lord. I love (what do they call it?), corporate worship. But that one on one fellowship with God can't ever be replaced with the celebrations that seem to have become so popular..
No, Bro, you haven't lost it. Its still there... or else you wouldn't have posted such a moving message. I sense, and share, your longing.

Amen. There's something about that strong, still power of God, where you don't know whether to sit or stand or move - and all you can do is weep in the presence of the Lord.
