If anybody gets something from The Lord in a service,it will be because they reached to God in faith, not wheter they are in a pew or in the front near the altar,their faith level determines what one receives from God in my opinion.

Most emotion will change to faith... Not talking about someone who is jumping around with their eyes half open, hoping to be seen... but people who are genuinely worshipping, sometimes without any feeling of excitement or exuberance but simply because He is Worthy... God is attracted to them like lightening to a Oak in a field. You can't tell me different, because I've experienced it.
God doesn't always wait for us to move before He does.. but most often He DOES wait for us to move.
If you look at Jesus' earthly ministry most of the people recorded in the books that He healed or touched first did something, or He told them to do something. Everything from pressing through crowds to touch the hem of His garmet to go and showing themselves to the Priest to stretching forth their hand to taking up their bed.
When I need something from the Lord, He can easily touch me in my pew.. and there are people that He will.. but sometimes He wants to see a little step of Faith... a little Praise before the Promise. A little Worship because he's Worthy and not because He's taken care of the problem.
There is hype.. I understand that. Some preachers don't have anything whatsoever to say, and they scream and yell and spit and foam and there's nothing whatsoever there. But when my Pastor says "get in the aisle" I do it. He never spits and foams, and he's not a perfect man, but I've yet to be in a service where He told us to do something, that God didn't step in.
