Excellent point, Renda!!
When I was a new convert I attended a church where there were about three or four women always up at the altar during the song service to get prayed for. Crying, crying.
I didn't really think anything of it. Sometimes they would come and get me and I would go and get prayed for too.
I remember one occasion when one of the women came to my pew to take me to the altar. I told her I didn't need to go because I had laid my burdens down in the prayer room before the service.
I found out later that they hardly ever prayed at home and hence why they were always at the altar.
We need to stop by the prayer room first! Whether it is at church or our home. Preferably both! I can't get into the service unless I've been in the prayer room. It doesn't even matter if I've prayed at home. I guess it's just the collective worship/prayer and possibly breaking strongholds in other's lives before the service.
