holyghost anointed Organs / replaced w/ Keyboards

[areyourucky]

It is hard to find a holyghost annointed organ , playing good old holyghost music any more. Are there any churches that still have a Organ, and really know how to play it.
The key boards dont raise the hair on your neck, like the older B-3 organs did.
I once saw a blind black man yrs ago play the organ. They had to lead him on the platform toit, but once he was there. he only use his annointing from there. It was somthing to see.
Who is the best organ played in or near texas.

When I read the thread title I first thought we were talking about bodily organs...

I looked into having my spleen replaced with a keyboard but the doctors said it was more like a bagpipe.

:toofunny I'm so giddy this afternoon, everything is cracking me up

[RandyWayne]

If you are talking about HUGE pipe organs, then no, no keyboard can replace them, however I would take a good synth/keyboard ANY day over the boring organs found in a majority of churches.

[Mrs. LPW]

Our organ has rocked over the years. I'd like to hear it more on some songs. There is nothing like an organ.

It worries me if an organ raises the hair on your neck.

I'd much rather have God do the hair raising thanks. And He's not limited by the musical instrument, or lack of one, in a church.

I would also say it is the person playing who is annointed and not the organ...

but wouldnt that be a hoot, have a pastor put oil on an organ and everyone gather around and pray for it. Might even swing some HMH over it..

And if so , then why cant we just annoint the keyboard ??

ANY day of the week. :coffee2

(Although I DO like pipe organs!) ...just not as much as I like black gospel organ.


And I always prefer an acoustic piano to an electric keyboard. Both to play and to hear.

I don't think there's anything wrong with music evoking an emotional response!!!!! :)

But of course music isn't needed for God's presence to move!

Don't forget to have the ladies take down their long uncut hair and place it on the keys as they pray so that organ can have special powers too.



Sorry
couldn't help myself

What is a "black gospel organ"?

About the only organ I can stand is one being played by Keith Emerson (Of Emerson, Lake, and Palmer), or a few other select rockers. The classic gospel sound sends shivers up my spine -and not in a good way.

[nahkoe]

Of course not! Music does invoke an emotional response.

But an emotional response is not an anointing.

[MissBrattified]

I know...It's not the same as anointing, but often the ministry of someone who is anointed will cause others to have an emotional response. :)

The lines can get blurred, though. Some churches only go after the emotion, and it's no different than being at a concert in which the same result is achieved.

Some people object to emotional response/worship because of it, which I don't think is the solution.

Clearly illustrated in the first two organ clips I provided in my post. :) It's a style--not an instrument.

What I would define as "black gospel organ" is pretty much the same style as rock organ, applied to gospel music. (Except for the slow stuff, of course)

What is the "classic gospel sound" you're referring to? What you call "classic gospel", I might call "the hymn book." LOL!!!!!


THIS kind of organ music is really nothing more than rock organ, effectively mixed with church music:

Black Gospel "shout" music

Ya know , its fast and kinda cool.

but there is no theme to this one... he picks random chord , plays it real fast over and over again, then picks another and repeats..

Music is like a story, there has to be a theme, a plot.. is it just me ?

Well, this was either a demonstrative video on how to play "shout" chords (fast interludes), and/or just a jam session. I don't think it was an actual song.

[RandyWayne]

Maybe it is the sound of the organ combined with the sound of clapping which triggers all those nasty memories......

Now that's music! lol This is what I cut my teeth on. I still love, love, love hymns played on the organ. I'm a freak. I know. (just not many hymns in church worship, please, please, please)

Yep. The lines easily blur. I think emotional response often leads into a move of God, or a move of God moves a person to an emotional response. But they're still not the same thing.

I definitely am not opposed to emotional response/worship.

[StillStanding]

I know I'm old school, but I still prefer a Hammond w/Leslie and an acoustic piano.

I must say that I heard a pipe organ performance once that was so majestic that my hair was standing up! :)

As far as Hammond vs. pipe organ, it comes down to who is playing and their arrangement.

[RandyWayne]

I really feel the anointing when I listen to Chip Davis (Mannheim Steamroller). :)

[scotty]

Im an acustic guitar man myself, add the piano to that and Im cool with that too..

We've still got one at the church, and I now have one in my home with a Leslie... Your right... nothing like it...

[Sherri]

Outside of UPC/PAW circles (and similar groups), the Hammond B3 sound is becoming extinct. I still love it and when someone can really play, it's amazing. I played piano for years, but never could play the organ. My home church was small and didn't have an organ when I was home, so I never got to mess around with one.

Mr. Steinway can play the organ; he's awesome!

[chseeads]

Love me some good organ.

We've got one of the New B-3's now.

I play the organ at church 99% of the time.

[Jermyn Davidson]

I prefer pianos to organs.


Sometimes, I find it disturbing that musicians can use their musical skills to trigger emotional responses in our Pentecostal churches.

This phenomenon gives those who don't believe in demonstrative praise and worship ammo to say that, "None of it is real-- it's all emotional."

Indeed, an emotional response can become a substitute for real praise and worship and it can happen so easily.

But an emotional response can lead to authentic praise and worship too.

Life is full of contradictions.

[Hoovie]

After reading some of the responses, I just absolutely do not trust myself to to post on this thread!!

Some do it...just because they can. But musicians who are in love with God and want to see HIS purpose fulfilled in a service won't do that kind of thing.

I don't see anything wrong with a little "praise break." :D

Somewhere along the line we got the idea that just being happy and joyful and exuberant wasn't good enough by itself. I've found that the same people who don't want to be judged for only lifting their hands, spend time judging others who are more exuberant and chalking it up to "just emotion."

Both are wrong--for their judging of others--not their particular type of worship.

1. There's nothing wrong with emotional worship, or just emotional reactions to the presence of God.
2. There's nothing wrong with quiet reactions to the presence of God.
3. There's nothing wrong with just being joyfully exuberant! Dancing, leaping, clapping, making noise--they're all things God likes. He also likes quiet sinners in the corners, beating their chests, and women who cry multiple tears onto His feet.

I don't believe we should restrict church to a single type of worship, nor should we judge the validity or sincerity of other folks' offerings. It's the heart God cares about, and we, unfortunately, can't see it. :heart

Just an example...my 6 year old son sits on the front row during Sunday morning worship service. Here lately, (without anyone giving him the idea or an example), when the music starts, he's been twirling. LOL!!!! He likes to turn in circles. (Just right there by the bench...nothing majorly distracting) Now, is he feeling the "anointing" or just enjoying the music? I'm pretty sure it's just the latter. Am I going to stop him? NO WAY!

Jeffrey's a good kid! Love that line, but then, I love every line in TPB!

I try to work the line "Not to fifty!" into every conversation that I can, and it's amazing how often it fits! Not to mention "inconceivable", of course.

[Scott Hutchinson]

I love Hammond Organs myself,this isn't a gospel song,but I love that organ.

I have never in my life seen a Holy Ghost anointed Organ and I bet you haven't either. Now, an anointed Organist sure, but organs are not anointed. The "anointing" doesn't ride on inanimate objects.

I agree with you.

But the scripture ref to "Holy Ground" comes to mind.




How about Aaron's rod?
How about the burning bush?

[TRFrance]

Holyghost anointed organ?

It's not the instrument... it's the anointing.

God can anoint a keyboard player just as he can anoint an organ player.

It was probably pretty disturbing to see David trigger devils leaving with his harp playing also....

[Jaxon]

Excellent point. Davids annoited harp playing and the response that came forth.

Bingo.

The prophet Elisha also called for a minstrel to play the instrument as he prophesied before the king of Israel."But now bring me a minstrel. And it came to pass, when the minstrel played, that the hand of the LORD came upon him.
And he said, Thus saith the LORD, Make this valley full of ditches..." (2 Kings 3:15-16)
