There is a real move of God that can result in this kind of behavior.
Just as there can be a real move of God in the quietness.
I am amazed that some of you can question this as a move of God.
Some of you need to get our of your box!!!!

Maybe there are some that God hasn't done so much for them to be so excited about.
Maybe there are some that haven't sinned enough, so the gratitiude expressed to God in leaping, dancing and praising God for His Grace and Mercy is either a foreign concept, or just not necessary.
Maybe there are some for whom God understands that their clothes are expensive, and their ego even more valuable and so they don't ever have to leap in praise to God.
I mean really-- God already knows our hearts, He already knows we appreciate His Kindness-- so where's the value in leaping, raising one's voice, or even losing one's self in praise and worship to God?
Am I closer to understanding the people with a lukewarm response to demonstrative praise and worship now?
