Holy Spirit really moved Sunday in Church any other reports

Thanks for being the messenger.

I was moved just reading this.

I think people often mistake an ecstatic thrill for spirituality. This is a relationship, and like any other relationship, it can't be all thrills and parties. Most of the time it's routine. But that's only dry and cold if people want it that way. Most of us know that a healthy relationship is when you are comfortable with someone, you talk to them naturally, and you don't dump them if they're not exciting all the time. There are ups and down, moments of joy and moments of anguish.

Personally, if someone wouldn't be my friend unless I gave them a thrill a minute, I'd run as far away as I could. How does God feel about people who think He's not even there unless he's making them feel tingly and thrilled?

And where is discernment? Any "spirit" can produce ecstatic feelings. People have already given video links to how extreme the error can get if it isn't anchored in the Bible.

Unless you have been there, done that, careful of what you mock.

Yes, satan gets in the middle of everything and yes you HAVE to test the spirits to know where they come from. I have seen a church totally in the Spirit targeted by evil and it crashed and burned. Sometimes this happens because there isn't enough learning in the Bible and knowing what it says. You have to be more than a babe in Christ. You have to read and study the Bible. You can't go by what some human says.

There were miracles in ancient days. There are still miracles today. To be told different, is also falling for a lie.

So much judgment. Every person will receive the energy differently. If they have been disconnected from the Holy Ghost for some long amount of time...I bet the sudden feeling of bliss and joy would drop most people to their knees. To be overcome with giggles is to recognizance the joy of life and to step out of the shadows of darkness and ignorance into the light of our GOD. To let go of all worry and fear and just allow Gods love to flow results in out bursts of giggles and or crying in many situations. People hold on to so many emotions, they stuff them down and in these fleeting moments of God we are able to release what we hold onto that no longer serves us. Stop calling what you don't understand satanic. You people are just making a mess of all of this. You are confusing people and creating a negative paradigm around everything sacred.

Any mass gathering will stir emotions. Rulers know and use this to their advantage.
So do film stars, rock/pop stars, politicians...and preachers.
You want to get people moving? Put them together en masse, play some music and tell them everything is allright even if it's not.
My advice to anyone who wants to have their own identity?
Stay the hell away from any and all mass gatherings!

Matthew 7:6 (KJV)

6 Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.

This is a topic not understood, please, please be careful.

Matthew 12:31-32(KJV)

31 Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men.

32 And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come.

Because of the above, pray about it instead of mocking or saying it is only evil.

TY!!

I once went to a prayer service where people spoke in tongues. I had no idea what to expect, but it was NOT a "language" that I'd ever heard before. We were all standing in a circle, singing, then several people began to speak in tongues. I heard a voice say "just enjoy this, it is the Holy Spirit, don't be afraid", because frankly, I was a little freaked out by it. After things calmed down a bit, I turned around because I thought it was the pastor that spoke to me, but when I turned I realized that not only was he not standing there, he was still seated about 20 feet away. To this day I have no clue who it was that spoke to me.

Really? You have no clue at all?

Oh, I agree. You KNOW. Blessings to you hon and may you find that "joy unspeakable" inside. Nope, you don't have to do all the "crazy Pentecostal" things to feel that joy, or to have that still small voice (yes that is the Holy Spirit) speak to you. You don't have to be perfect, nor even a Biblical scholar. You don't have to have any of that, just a repentant heart and a love of your Heavenly Father. Daniel wasn't perfect (the dude committed murder for crying out loud) and he danced in joy before the Lord!!

Now, now, please don't be anti-Catholic.


Protestant communion = grape juice and a cracker
Catholic communion = Jesus Christ Himself, His risen body, blood, soul and divinity


Scripture was compiled by the Catholic Church, the Bible didn't drop from Heaven complete. Please, say thank you holy mother Church. Every knee shall bend...

Jesus is coming soon to hopefully bring you home to the faith, remember, say "yes" when He shows you. Amen.

That's right! It's not about church or big followings! It's about the one on one personal relationship! Forged only between Him and yourself! Nobody can add to it or take it away from it unless you let them!

Yes, someone replied saying it is like going to a concert! No, no, God does not want to worshiped in this way.

Doesn't a well known group called the "Toronto" church endorse these kind of antics?

It is good though OP that you assembled, went to Church to worship God on Sunday. So many non-Catholics and Catholics too do not go to Church these days. How it offends God, it is a sin against His Commandment, remember, keep holy the Sabbath. Now in the New Covenant, it is Sunday, the Lord's Day, honoring our Savior, He arose on
Sunday.

See the Scripture verse that states Jesus, as His habit, went to worship God at the Temple.


Luke 4:16
And he came to Nazareth, where he was brought up: and he went into the synagogue, according to his custom, on the sabbath day; and he rose up to read.

Sorry, I disagree, it is both, so reading Scripture at home doesn't fulfill the Commandment, remember, keep holy the Sabbath.

Church means "assembly." All the churches and cathedrals worldwide, do you wonder why? Christianity gathers together to worship God on Sunday. It is a mortal sin for Catholics not to go to holy Mass on Sunday.

There aren't two sets of Commandments for Christians. Remember, what does Ephesians 4:5 say, there is one Lord, one faith, one baptism. How long is God going to put up
with the division in Christianity, not much longer.


God bless you,

Hello,

Sorry, I disagree. It is both. Sitting at home reading
Scripture does not fulfill the Commandment of remember to keep holy the Sabbath.

Church means "assembly." Why all the churches and Cathedrals world wide? We are to gather together and worship God on Sunday. It is a mortal sin for Catholics not
to attend holy Mass on Sunday.

There aren't two sets of Commandments for Christians.


Ephesians 4:5 One Lord, one faith, one Baptism

Would you make yourself known in the midst of a people that would attribute any manifestation of your very presence to not just another.. but your arch enemy?

You can not possibly know or understand what it is like for the Holy Spirit to fall in your presence when you deny He manifests in that way. He will not force Himself on you.. your church or anyone else who does not invite Him.

You wouldn't recognize Him because you have a pre-conceived notion of what He should or shouldn't do.

It is near impossible to literally feel His Presence and not shake, weep, fall down, groan or any other number of things. This is the Almightly Creator we are talking about here. His Mere Presence demands a reaction. People and angels fall prostrate in His Presence all the time.

He Thrives on the Praises of His People.

How normal would it be for you to have children and then never interact with them. He's our Heavenly Father. He longs to visit with us in such ways.

God is far from boring. He may be Righteous, Holy, Truth, Life, Alpha, Omega, I Am that I Am and everything else He represents but that doesn't necessarily equate with boring.

Look at His Majestry throughout the Earth. Not the Works of a dull uninspired Artist

He loves His people who hunger for His Presence to revel rest and be refreshed in the midst of His Presence.


Please understand I am not in any way shape or form saying you or any other believers are not good God fearing people.

I simply get very frustrated with people accusing things God does of being the devil or satanic. In my opinion this is very near if not complete outright blasphemy.

Don't exalt your denomination, regardless of what it is above the Works of God.

Yes, the Holy Spirit is alive. Yes, you may have been baptized in the Holy Spirit. But, unless you were speaking in a human language unknown to you but is known by other people, it is gibberish and not of God.

I am a seminary student. There is nothing scriptural about this hysteria. But, there are lots of scriptures about this behavior being NOT of God.

be careful.

Hysteria has nothing to do with praise, worship, or anything else from God.

Thread: All you need is FAITH, HOPE and LOVE to live pleasing to God. 7 times it's repeated. Prophecy, tongues & words of knowledge have passed away

That's great bro. Let's pray for revival. But here is what we need to do. The church needs to provide free christian K-12 education like the Madrases do for muslim youth. Stop the building programs and concentrate on saving the lost generation of youth. That's how the devils took over America. America can be taken back for the Lord.

The living Creator God of the Bible is not the author of confusion

Thread: When scriptures mention speaking in other tongues, it means this...

Thank you!

Over time it evolves into having planned programs consisting of nothing but this, and emotionalism reigns

This is just your opinion. I respect it, but it is only an opinion. However, you may just be wrong. If so, the liberal use of the term "gibberish" may be found offensive.

Again, I quote 1 Cor 14:2:

"For anyone who speaks in a tongue does not speak to people but to God. Indeed, no one understands them; they utter mysteries by the Spirit."

Are you all ready for the nations to unite as one on the New Jerusalem calendar and have everyone Spirit filled?

I am a seasoned and educated Christian. I am devoted to studying God's Word. I will gladly take you to it line by line, verse by verse, chapter by chapter.

Shall we start with 1 Corinthians 14? These are not my words/opionions, but they are Gods.
