Pastor Cleans Off Platform
This is a testimony from a young lady in our church who is a praise singer. Also, I have been the guitar player in this church for 10 years. We are part of the leadership of our church and have no problem with what our pastor did and are behind him 100%. We also have a very good music program in our church and have always been known for our music more than anything else.
Funny thing, the only people who find this offensive are the same people who caused tons of trouble for our former pastor.

Music-less Revival
For whatever reasons that are not important, my pastor has decided to clear off the platform. In our main services, we have no live music. All our music is coming from CDs, and everyone is invited to have worship time in the altar.
For typical APs, it sounds bizarre, and many would question the action. However, I can honestly say we had 2 of the greatest services this weekend as a result. We haven't gotten past worship service. He invited us down to the altar, we all started praying and the next thing you know people we've NEVER seen before are getting the Holy Ghost! It's been phenomenal. I saw people who haven't really prayed in years, fall to their knees in the presence of God.
I know that a lot of people are apprehensive about the change, but honestly, I think it's for the best. It's nothing permanent of course, but it's given a chance for some who hide behind their instruments to be an active part in worship. Some people won't accept it, and refuse to confirm to the new arrangement, but they are only hurting themselves.
Revival is sweeping through our church. It may be unorthodox and offensive to some. That's how I know it's God!
