Crazy Stuff in Church

[Evang.Benincasa]

I was once in a meeting where a brother was praying a young man through. I was praying with the young lad as well, when all of a sudden the brother praying with the youth slapped his jaw, not once but a few times. Needless to say that took the young man right out of focus on anything godly. or even seeking repentance. the brother went to do it again, and this time I stop him, but he moved on to someone else. He then repeated the same slapping the jaws of his next victim. I then reached out and stopped him from whacking a young girl seeking the Holy Ghost. Pulled the brother to the side and asked him what gives? He tried to explain to me that in order to help them get the Holy Ghost they needed to get the lips trembling. He then said back home I get'em bloody sometimes. At this point, I had my "what?" face on, and motioned him to the outdoors where I could explain the way of the Lord more perfectly. Another one was the use of Pentecostal tic tacs. Praying people through with bad breath can at times hinder the move of the Spirit. Well, a close brother to me was praying a young man through when they ended up face to face, and the halitosis was at maximum strength. The young seeker snapped out of all seekness and by the looks of it almost fell out flat. Not slain in the spirits, but slain by the smell of intense gum disease? Anyway later that camp the young man got the Holy Ghost big time. Probably prayed through by someone with sweeter fresher breath.
