Holy Ghost on Wednesday Night
 

Well, we had a powerful service tonight and it just went on and on because no one would leave. Parents had to go get their kids and then they started coming back into the sanctuary with them, because no one wanted to miss what was happening. Eddie taught the most powerful lesson on worship and then we started singing, and the glory of God just came into the room.

One gal by me got the Holy Ghost, and didn't even know what it was. She's been totally away from God and had just started recently back to church. I don't know what her background is, but she didn't know what "tongues" was, until it happened to her. I think she's going to get baptized soon.

The power of God was so HEAVY, it felt like a weight in the room. I love it when God's Spirit sweeps in like that!

We had an awesome service tonight too.

I love to hear about the fun people have in service......we're supposed to enjoy what God is doing!! Thanks for sharing Sherri!

Re: Holy Ghost on Wednesday Night
 

Our Wednesday night services are well attended, because the church people know that Wed. nights are all-out powerful times of God's presence. That's the night that we are just wide open to whatever God wants and it's my favorite service!

Re: Holy Ghost on Wednesday Night
 

Sherri, that is wonderful to hear! We had a good service, too.

Re: Holy Ghost on Wednesday Night
 

I know what you meant by that-- but it just struck me as funny the way it was worded I guess.

Our church is wide open to what God wants every time we are there. Visitors never know what to expect-- and I haven't heard of us scaring anyone so badly that they didn't come back. ;)

I can't remember if I mentioned it or not-- but our pastor recently appointed someone to fill the position of youth pastor. The first "youth service" there were about 40 in attendance-- and three first time visitors received the holy ghost. (Those same three haven't missed a service since that time) On the second week in the youth service... there were 80 in attendance. Some received the holy ghost that night also.

I'm looking forward to the next youth service. I'm not what you'd consider "youth" anymore since I'll be turning 40 this year... but I get such a blessing out of seeing what God is doing in those services that I don't want to miss the service myself! I think the youth pastor likes when some of the "older" bunch shows up for support. ;)

Re: Holy Ghost on Wednesday Night
 

Sherri,
That is soooo wonderful to hear!!!

Re: Holy Ghost on Wednesday Night
 

So good to hear, Sherri! Thank the Lord, He's not taking mid-weeks services off!

Re: Holy Ghost on Wednesday Night
 

Praise the Lord! He is lifting up another generation to spread the gospel. Awesome news Sherri. Makes you want to rejoice another soul has been born into the kingdom. Angels are dancing in heaven.

Re: Holy Ghost on Wednesday Night
 

Oh Oh I almost forgot... CC1 Is gone now so I have to ask in his place.... Was there Shockamoo?!?!?! How could yall have shockamoo arent you a church more like CC than the regular apostolic churches?!?

Oh done now...


Sherri! Awesome to hear about the service (thats AG speaking there of course! )

Re: Holy Ghost on Wednesday Night
 

Amen, that is great news to hear God is moving!




Ok, I'm somewhat of a bumpkin when it comes to some things so I gotta ask, what on earth is "Shockamoo" and CC ?

Re: Holy Ghost on Wednesday Night
 

:lol

"Shockamoo" is dancing and rejoicing in the Holy Ghost.

"CC" is Christ Church in Nashville. It's a large church that runs over 5,000 people per Sunday.

That being said, I'm sure that the Cupple's church is different than CC when it comes to shockamoo. We do have a few folks jump up and down on rare occasion, but that's as far as it goes! :)

Re: Holy Ghost on Wednesday Night
 

Thank the Lord! God is so good to us!!!!
Praise the Lord, I feel the Holy Ghost right now!

Thank you sis for the good report!

Re: Holy Ghost on Wednesday Night
 

This is an awesome report!

Re: Holy Ghost on Wednesday Night
 

Thank you for taking CC1's place, but you failed to mention that Eddie still has facial hair, so it probably couldn't have been real. :toofunny

Re: Holy Ghost on Wednesday Night
 

Lol, ok, I guess I've seen lots of shockamoo, just didn't know that that is what it was!:happydance
Thanks for cluing me in!

Re: Holy Ghost on Wednesday Night
 

It's part of the forum lingo!

Re: Holy Ghost on Wednesday Night
 

I'm curious about this, I had someone use that term with me the other day, who as far as I know is not on the forum? Did the term originate on this or the previous forum?

If so, hmmmm, someone must be lurking or very well disguised!!!

Re: Holy Ghost on Wednesday Night
 

It was on the last forum, or even the one before that. It's been around a long time. I don't know if it originated with the forum; it could have been used before, I just had never heard it until FCF.

Re: Holy Ghost on Wednesday Night
 

I had never heard it before I was on here either, that is what made me curious, LOL!! Thanks for the info!

Re: Holy Ghost on Wednesday Night
 

I typed in "Shockamoo" in Google. Someone has entered it in the "Urban Dictionary" with the definition being:

In a Pentecostal church-to dance and jump and get down before the LORD

The sentence given using it in a sentence at the "Urban Dictionary" site:

Mark felt God's blessing and shockamooed all over the church house!
THEOPHIL is mentioned January 18, 2008
