>>>serious responses only please<<<This was a serious discussion I had with an individual recently that pertained to how church services are/were conducted. I was born and raised pentecostal. I’ve seen it all…..the good, bad and ugly….I remember being in services where people supposedly had demons in their life and they passed out bags so they would vomit them out. Other incidences maybe not as bad where the music or certain songs were used to elicit emotional responses from yelling, screaming to running down the aisle when the service was not headed down that direction. The list can go on. Ministers today use the background twittle of the organ in the church the preacher makes a point that tend to enhance the congregational response. Rod Parsley case in point. First off, I think he is a man of God and sincere. I just don’t like his style. When I do watch him, I ignore the background stuff and focus on the message. Sometimes what he says is very good, while other times…nothing spectacular…..I weed through the background distractions…..That said, I was recently in a service where half way through the service the leader said the Spirit is thick and it opened for prayer time. Was there great excitement? Yes. Were people engaged and excited and worshiping the Lord. Yes.Some said the presence of God was tangible or the anointing was heavy. I have heard that all my life. Yet, I see that it was more about engagement of individuals and unity in worship.My question…what defines and anointed service or one where the Spirit of God fell? This is not an argument but frankly, I’m not sure myself…..

  1. We sing out of the red book and hymns of the spirit. I do not want to sing off the wall, saying the same thing over and over.

  2. I do not like it off the wall. I’m sorry, give me a book. I might know it by heart, but I still look at the book. I’m moving on to another topic.
