I'm thankfull...

for the fact that Sis. Elms reads my blog. i know its often useless, but i want you to know that i appreciate your time. that being said, i don't mean to not include my long list of readers! but tonight, i was listening to my tapes from men's conference and i realized something...
i've never actually danced for the lord. i've never run the isles, and i've never opened my eyes to see the ceiling and realized i was on the floor. i've been wondering lately about the good ol' apostolic worship from back in the day. i want to be like that. i wanna take off skipping <> when i feel God's spirit flowing in that direction, and i wanna open my eyes and see everyone worshiping so hard that the visitors are confounded. i wanna know that the old worships not dead. well, i keep hearing, "start it and it'll happen." thanks, but, i know that. the problem is i get so much in my own way that it honestly and truly feels like my feet are cemented, up to my knees, to the ground. i keep meaning to ask bro. Andrew about it. i know he'll have some words to say that'll help me. lol, he can say something everyone else has said, in exactly the same words, but it's like something hits me, and i understand. well........... this will be updated the day you see me run in church. and you'd better beleive it, that day will be one of the longest services we've ever had at life tab, but there won't be preaching. i can see it and feel it in my head right now, and already my legs feel like lead. i don't know whether it's my flesh or what, but i need to overcome this... pray for me if you will!!! i love you guys and i thank you for your support!!!

Until you have been hit in head by a hair pin- you don't know what ole apostolic worship is. Besides... the only difference between that 'ole time religion' and now- is US. That's right, if you feel like something is missing in your worship then it just might be YOU. The next time you feel to do something- just do it! Far too many people sit back and 'wonder.'

I'm sorry I'm just now getting around to your post on worship. Oh my, how I remember the feeling you are describing. I also remember the first time I FINALLY "let myself" dance before the Lord. There was such a freedom and JOY that came to my life! Will, you need to do what you KNOW is right! DANCE, RUN, SHOUT, SKIP...whatever it is you know you HAVE to do to be satisfied in your worship. It is our fleshly thinking that keeps us bound. Break through into a joyous time with the Lord and you'll never be the same!!! The "old time worship" is still here. All you have to do is join in with your praise! I love you and will be praying for you to experience the full JOY of praise!
