(Many won't like this, but I don't care)
We don't have this in our churches anymore...
We are so stuck within this repetitive analogy of what we have been taught to believe, that worship is SUPPOSED to be...
That we freely refuse to interject ANYTHING into our "so called worship" that would interrupt the time line of our HOLY schedules...
So we just sit there, in our seats, as if we are waiting and demanding God to move because we are doing it all right , right there in the pews...
We have 15 minute prayers, hour long sermons and sing until we cannot speak...
And we leave thinking we have done God a favor by showing up.
I was in a service once where the pastor just stood there in total silence...
He then walked over and turned off half the lights...
Walked back over to the middle of the stage and just stood there.
Within minutes weeping began to break out...
People were running to the alter of prayer..
Lives were changed...souls were saved...
Without a single song, prayer or message...
Sometimes God just wants us to SHUT UP and listen....
Instead of filling the air with repetitious noise....
