What constitutes a 'move of God'?!

It is more often than not a move of people finally surrendering to His will.

True...

Btw, do I know you?!

I know you aren't discounting tongues, I was just responding to your question of when there is a move of God. Sometimes the shout is empty (ie empty praise) but I just think when He shows up to speak to His people, then no matter what has or has not happened in the service, you've HAD CHURCH!

Just my humble opinion. . . . : - )

Some would say if they have tongues and interpretation, that is it...

Others would point to a word of prophesy or running and shouting and no preaching because it broke loose in praise as evidence "we had church!!"

Is it?!

The very presence of Christ in the midst of the gathering of His saints in His name is itself the move of God.
