Is Being Loud Being Annointed ?

[Scott Hutchinson]

Where did we in Pentecost get the notion that being loud is being annointed ?
Some church have services at deafening volumes,and think if they have don't have alot of volume they ain't having church.
Also why do some Preachers think they are annointed if they are screaming in microphones at the top of their lungs ?

Some people like loud.
I admit I sometimes like it loud, but a lot of times I don't (I am getting older!)

No, being loud isn't annointing.

I have seen some men move in the gifts ministering to people and getting results & they weren't yelling!

[Scott Hutchinson]

You mean the Holy Ghost can be present in a quiet service ? Who are you putting on,unless you are hooping and running the aisles and swinging from the chandeliers,you can't really be having Holy Ghost church can you ?

[Scott Hutchinson]

I'm not agains't being demonstrative or being emotional,but it's a notion that the annointing is equated with volume.
Some people praise quietly and others are demonstrative there is more for both in the church.

[Rico]

yes! Being loud equals being anointed! :D

[tamor]

yes! Being loud equals being anointed! :D

Ditto....I was in a church for many years that loved it loud...the louder the better. They went through sound system after another, bigger and louder each time. Because of it I have developed some serious and permanent hearing problems. I know families that were run off, visitors....never came back because they couldn't take the torture to their eardrums.

[Jack Shephard]

Annointing is not tied to being loud if so all babies would be annointed. Often time being loud is far from annointed. It is mostly annoying!

[DividedThigh]

no it is just loud and annoying like jt mentioned, and bad for the blood pressure, lol

[U376977]

So what do you do? I have actually put tissue in my ears. I have told the pastor it is too loud, but then we get preached at? "where ever you end up, it will be loud in heaven, and certainly loud in hell" The bishop said, "true but in heaven the music is not going to sound like that"

[DividedThigh]

well after enduring this world on my quest for the heavenly city i will be at peace in heaven, bring on the band then, lol

Which is interesting to me, I may see how one would think hell was loud, due to all the weeping, wailing and gnashing of teeth, but where's our scripture for saying Heaven will be loud?????????

I don't think there is. I know we have, "praise him with a loud voice..."

[Michael Phelps]

Yes, but I always thought of peaceful serene streams, and lions lying down with lambs, etc.

[RevDWW]

Some times being loud can accompany powerful anointing, and other times being loud is just plain annoying.


Isaiah, who was anointed did write the verse that contains the words: 'Cry aloud and spare not'.

[DividedThigh]

Yes, but I always thought of peaceful serene streams, and lions lying down with lambs, etc.

me too mp but after i get there i wont care, lol

[RevDWW]

Rev 5:11 And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels round about the throne and the beasts and the elders: and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands;
Rev 5:12 Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing.
Rev 5:13 And every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I saying, Blessing, and honour, and glory, and power, be unto him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and ever.
Rev 5:14 And the four beasts said, Amen. And the four and twenty elders fell down and worshipped him that liveth for ever and ever.

Seems like there might be some volume in heaven.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1 Praise ye the LORD. Praise God in his sanctuary: praise him in the firmament of his power.
2 Praise him for his mighty acts: praise him according to his excellent greatness.

3 Praise him with the sound of the trumpet: praise him with the psaltery and harp.

4 Praise him with the timbrel and dance: praise him with stringed instruments and organs.

5 Praise him upon the loud cymbals: praise him upon the high sounding cymbals.

6 Let every thing that hath breath praise the LORD. Praise ye the LORD.

Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?” (Job 38:4, 7).

37And when he was come nigh, even now at the descent of the mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works that they had seen;

38Saying, Blessed be the King that cometh in the name of the Lord: peace in heaven, and glory in the highest.

39And some of the Pharisees from among the multitude said unto him, Master, rebuke thy disciples.

40And he answered and said unto them, I tell you that, if these should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out.




I don't know..........

[ReformedDave]

Going from old line UPC to where I am today I actually really enjoy being able to understand what is being said in a voice that sure isn't monotone in the least but never approaches a scream either.

[DividedThigh]

understanding the speaker is always good

[Cindy]

In heaven we won't have human ears. Loud does not always equal annointing.

Anoint is to be over powered.God over powers people to do many things,preach,heal,prophecy,speak in tongues and so on.I have learned to do nothing unless i'm anointed.

Apparently that doesn't apply to posting on the internet.:dance

Apparently you can't stand truth.

[brodano]

some times the preaching has to be loud to get the point across. if you don't like it find a church where the move of God doesn't Excite people. when people get Excited people usually get LOUD..

[Tyk]

If there is enough bass being put out at a high enough volume - the Bass drum will breathe for you. This makes it very easy to the Holy Ghost to move.

Because you feel you might die.

My mother didn't like the loud services and mikes on full power. She asked them to turn it down but she was ignored.

She started wearing earplugs for church.

My concern would be infants suffering hearing loss before they have a chance to block out the noise........

Oh my heavens that is so true!!!

The thing about a "loud heaven" is that we will have TRANSFORMED bodies, the mortal will have put on immortal. I also highly doubt we would have massive rock concert amplifiers that demolish cochlea and other delicate parts of our ears...

[Michael Phelps]

My dear man,

This has nothing to do with truth, we are discussing "anointing".

Your posts drip with acid and bitterness, and you basically attack anyone who is not you.

That's not anointing! Anointing would cause your posts to be powerful and magnetic, bringing "truth" to those who connected.

Your posts don't drip with "anointing" they're just plain "annoying".

Ugh, a major pet peeve of mine. It's not limited to apostolics by a long shot -just the most familiar with their styles.

Loud, shouting, heaving breathing, preaching..... Sounds a bit like my PC case when all the fans are going and something gets stuck in one of them, and just about as anointed (most of the time).

[ReformedDave]

Apparently you can't stand truth.

Joelel, take it from one who occasionally gets an attitude and comes across like a jack donkey .

Your posts are very angry and elitist and you are doing yourself no favors. If you can't change your ways you'll be on everybody's ignore list.

Think about what you post.....and use a spell checker.

[Mrs. LPW]

OF COURSE BEING LOUD MEANS BEING ANNOINTED

:crazy

[brodano]

WOW HOW LOUD WILL IT BE IN HEAVEN ? WHEN YOU SEE JESUS ARE YOU GOING TO BE LOUD OR JUST hi Jesus , or HI JESUS!!!!

[RandyWayne]

I am sure there will be a mix of everything. I keep envisioning something closer to a tropical oasis with the sound of a breeze, waves, and birds in the distance. Maybe even a bit of Hawaiian type music playing somewhere...... THAT is heaven. :)

Heaven has its own Honolulu? :D

[RandyWayne]

Doesn't that sound thrilling? :)

Certainly better than loud camp services where the evangelist screams out "Exciting huh????!!!!! This is what ETERNITY will be like!!!!! Muwww hawww hawww hAAWWWW!!!"
Granted, the above may be preferable to endless pain and torment, but I can imagine much better ways to spend eternity then a camp meeting song service.

[U376977]

I don't mind a little loud but......

I took an aunt to visit my church in Nashville. They were contemporary praise and worship, excellent music is a must for a church in Nashville. Several SG people went there and learned how to worship with another style. Anyway, it was very loud. My aunt got up and went to the car. After church she told the pastor she loved the service. He said, "but you went to the car." She said, "yeah but I could hear just as good, and I had the windows rolled up."

My Mom is visiting with me for the summer. She said she could sit in her home and hear the organ from the church. Her home is 3 blocks off the street, the church is across the street and to the west about a 1/4 mile!!

Our music is so loud we have had people visit one time and say they loved everything, except is was so loud that if they ever come back they will bring ear plugs. One man said there is less noise at NASCAR than our church.

IF IT HAS TO BE THIS LOUD---THEN THERE IS A PROBLEM SOMEWHERE.

Any ideas????

We are on the same wavelength, my friend!

No being loud isn't annointing, but being annointed MAY cause a preacher to get loud.

[BrotherEastman]

Anoint is to be over powered.God over powers people to do many things,preach,heal,prophecy,speak in tongues and so on.I have learned to do nothing unless i'm anointed.
So, do you always preach as if you are "overpowered" and does that mean you're ALWAYS loud when you preach? Do you limit God's annointing power to cause you to preach loud? If God's word is already annointed, He will not need our help by being loud, wouldn't you agree? Of course, these are question for you to consider.

[LadyChocolate]

I think a the perfect preacher would be a cross between comedians Steven Wright and Greg Hahn!:ursofunny

[Tyk]

Loud does move people.

I've actually seen people get up, start clapping, and
"a-maning" when a man was yelling(preaching) indistinguishable words. And when they sat down he read what he had just shouted and it had nothing to do with God.

It may have been kinda rude to do that - but you don't often forget looking like a fool, which will remind you of why.

*sorry about the bad sentence, I'm to lazy to reform it.*

[Scott Hutchinson]

I understand often Holy Ghost preachers will be moved on to raise their voice,but some think that being volumious is being annointed,and that is just no true.
One time God moved as a mighty rushing or violent wind,one time He spoke in a still small voice,to me the main thing is for the manifest presence to be in a service and for God to move in whatever way He sees fit.

[Scott Hutchinson]

I do believe annointed preachers can be loud.I have a dear brother and friend who is UPCI he has a booming voice and that is fine because he has a demonstrative voice, that's him and it suits him.

[Scott Hutchinson]

Brother Eastman what I'm saying is just because someone is loud doesn't mean they are annointed,if you take loud microphones from some being people they couldn't preach.
But hey Holy Ghost church gets noisy sometimes,I'm fine with that I believe in Holy Ghost hoedown services,but at the same time I believe sometimes things pass as the annointing that really aren't the annointing.AS a result of being annointed one can raise their voice and that's good.

I agree, I've heard loud preachers scream, and quite frankly, I wasn't impressed nor did I feel like they were annointed.

[Scott Hutchinson]

Some preachers are just naturally louder than others,preachers have to be themselves when preaching what might work for one,might not work for another.
If a preacher isn't prayed up he won't be effective no matter his volume.

[freeatlast]

Hey that reminds me, Doug White / Steadfast is preaching Iowa camp this year.

Think I'll get me some cotton balls and go hear him.

I never said being loud is being anointed,others say that.I teach and preach and pray in a normal voice anointed of God.Anointed is when God over powers a person and speaks.

[Joelel]

So, do you think that if a preacher is loud he isn't annointed?

I would rather preach with out a mic,most of the loudness comes from the mic.Do you think God needs a mic to anoint ? Mics only been around for 50 yrs or a few more.Were the apostles anointed ?

[Joelel]

Amen

[TalkLady]

Personally, I like it when God speaks in a still, small voice. Sometimes it was a little hard to hear Him when there was so much loud music in the midst. I am not against loud worship or a preacher getting a little loud. However, hollering does NOT equal anointing.

The answer is "NO" loud does not equal anointing. ....Some people have been conditioned to believe that, but that does not make it so.

Here is a link to some discussion of "anointing"

http://www.gotquestions.org/anointed.html

[rgcraig]

I never said being loud is being anointed,others say that.I teach and preach and pray in a normal voice anointed of God.Anointed is when God over powers a person and speaks.

Do you use as much scripture when you preach as you do here?

If so, you might need to raise your voice some to keep 'em awake!

You know it's hard enough to get people to believe scripture,I sure wouldn't preach not useing it.I have the word written in my heart and don't preach it word for word but use english words we use to day so people can understand better, rather than using KJV words as many do. I don't preach subjects as many do either.When I preach I may touch on many different things as the anointing moves because God told me everyone has different needs,just let him speak.

i think the real word that goes there has many of the same letters but is certainly not that particular word
