Re: What is a "Move of God"? Is it Bible or Cultur
The BIG problem with "God Moving" in emotionally based Faith; EMOTION. The Apostolic Movement has attracted the emotionally distraught and even downright crazy people, and this has led to false and completely bogus claims of God's Spirit "Moving".
Just look at speaking in tongues. We claim, after severe pressure, over-bearing music, back rubbing, and even extreme fits (rolling on the floor, shaking, jerking), that someone had God "Move on them" after uttering a few indiscernible words.
My son-in-law is home sick with gout in his leg and foot. Some people from an Apostolic Church stopped by to pray for him last night. They came into the house and began praying for him, everyone blowing air on his foot. Then, they demanded he get up and walk on it, 3 times, and reluctantly he did. (He is still home sick, today)
When will this nonsense stop? We are manipulating people by declaring that God is moving in these Religious incantations that rouse superstition, fear, and doubt.
