You see that's 1 reason I cannot leave!!! I don't mean holy roller running churches that will hoop and holler cuz their favorite style of music is playing or their favorite preacher...I mean when GOD shows on up, and you don't know whether to cry, laugh, weep, moan, jump, shout, scream, run, dance, lay hands on somebody or yourself and pray them/you through!
Where you have to just calm yourself down before you act FOOLISH!
I don't ever want to lose that.

Recently we had a beautiful interruption of the Holy Ghost and you could literally feel/hear God speaking a call to prayer over our saints. I don't ever want to be away from that. Yes I enjoy good sermons, music, and fellowship, but the unction of the Holy Ghost...give me that, or I'll die!

I pray that God moves on/in you and I, In Jesus Name!
Yep!

It's just in your blood and you miss it if you aren't a part of it!

You know there were folks in the audience at TBN who just tried to keep it together, but you can't forget what God has done, hehe, and finally, I saw some people just give in to it and shout it down! There was some messed-up makeup that day, hahahaha!

I would be lying if I said I don't miss those types of services!

Absolutely awesome.

I was at a Christian concert a few years ago where many churches sent their choirs and special singers. There was a big black lady from a Baptist church who was asked to sing. She started to sing the song "We are standing on Holy Ground" and God's presence came in like a flood. I was sitting in a chair and all of a sudden I felt like somone was was pouring warm oil on my head. When it reached my eyes I coudn't phyically see and when it reached my ears I couldn't hear the singing. I don't know where I was or even what I was doing (standing, sitting, whatever). When I could hear and see again I was standing and worshipping.

This kind of thing doesn't just happen in church services and church buildings ....

One of the best blessings that I ever had, was at Music Conference in Jackson, Ms. The JCM choir and other visiting choirs had performed wonderfully and the music was great. Then this country trio got up to sing with nothing but a guitar. It was so simple, but God moved in me so strong while I listened to them sing.

It's like God himself spoke to me saying that he wasn't impressed with fancy chords, or perfect harmonies. What impressed him was the heart of the singer willing to let God use them no matter the talent level. Our best is always good enough for God!

The last "blowout" that I recall was a youth event, my choir was singing, "He Made The Difference" and our drummer took over the solo letting someone else jump on the drums...something (Holy Ghost) hit him, it hit an associate pastor in our district, and I saw it move left to right in our auditorium, we took around 20 minutes to get it back for the visiting preacher. BTW, I yanked off my geetar and had me a time! My wife hit every other note on the keys as she played/danced, and we had some choir members who probably might be embarrased if we showed some video!
"I don't walk like I used to walk,
He made the difference,
I don't talk like I use to talk,
He made the difference
I don't live like I used to live,
He made the difference,
I don't give like I used to give,
He made the difference,
He made the dif-ference, He made the difference in my life,

What a chaaaaaange, what a chaaaange......"
