Dancing has changed! It used to be called shouting but now it is dancing -jumping rhythmically to the beat of the music. Shouting was associated with a spirit moving uncontrollably by the individual. It was jumping up from a sitting position and dancing with all your might before the Lord. Today if this takes place people think you are crazy or demon possessed. Or worse you are old fashion pentecostal (COG) If you do dance (most go to church to watch the dancing) how do you do it. I was in a Latino service Sunday and a professional worship and praise leader, a quest from a Latino country led the service in worship. He gave detailed instruction for everyone to worship. He had a laptop for all his recorded latino music tied into the Church's audio system. He had black patent leather shoes and he was light on his feet dancing. He led the congregation in jumping up and down. I had my cowboy boots on and I felt like I was doing the monster mash. I really tried to participate and even had trouble clapping to the beat. Soon the church got into the spirit of worship but I was just monster mashing.It was not long till the spirit of worship that I felt a shouting coming on. At my age I can step out in the isle and hold on to a pew and dance with all my might -till the dizziness hits and all the oxygen has left my lungs. That is why I hold to the pew. I resisted the shouting. I felt like a visiting overseer at an ole fashion COG - he just sits dignified as the power of the Holy Ghost falls. (The Spirit had departed long ago)I actually told the Lord I was scared and these Latinos will think I am loco!Do I need to learn some modern dance steps and buy some dancing shoes? Is there a spirit walk? How do you dance at Church? I dance at home before the Lord. with all my might Have you learned to dance? Ever feel like dancing
