I literally ache for my current congregation. I ache for GOD to just invade our services, pouring out His Spirit on the believers as well as the church-goers!
Is my ache misplaced?
Is there no value to dancing in the spirit, speaking in tongues in worship and praise, and leaping for joy?

I don't see anything in this clip that makes me think the Holy Spirit is anywhere around. It is just fast music and frantic behavior at a pace that releases chemicals in the brain that result in folks having a fit.
Now, you might ask what is wrong with having a fit. Well, isn't one of the signs that the Holy Spirit is in our hearts is that we have self-control? I don't see any self control being encourage here. Shouldn't church assembly be done in order and with self sacrifice for the sinner who may be in the midst.
Even the leader of the song knows it is just a joke. If everyone would have sat down and behaved themselves they would have then been reprimanded for not getting in the spirit.
There is nothing wrong with dancing for joy but lets not make it something more than what it is. It is just dancing and having a fit.
JD, if I could say this, I think that maybe your soul is craving something that you think you need. I know, I was raised this way and it was very hard for me to not have the emotional release every service. But now, being in God's presence is so much sweeter and rich and is not about my selfish needs.
