POA Use Idol Worship at Campmeeting?

[Polaris]

Wisdom is justified of her children, Elder. God bless you for expressing your concerns. Don't forget that when Elijah thought he was alone, God still had seven thousand who had not bowed their knee to Baal. What I mean by that is that the church of God (which is far bigger than any one organization) is alive and well, and if things really have changed for the worse in a particular area, you're still not alone. There will always be those who are satisfied with the status quo--and if that's all they want, then that's all they're going to seek after. And they WON'T see what you're seeing, nor listen to a watchman on the wall when he sounds the alarm. But everybody's not like that, and some WILL hear and ARE hearing. And that should make you rejoice!

Blessed are those who hunger and thirst after righteousness...they shall be filled. Those who are hungry and thirsty for something deeper will find what they're looking for, and nothing will hold them back. It's our job to be "salty" enough to make them thirsty! Don't mourn for what used to be or for what might have been (though I understand the heartbreak of seeing the relentless onslaught of the world on the church)--just go home and pray someone else through to the Holy Ghost...teach another Bible study, and introduce someone else to the beauty of holiness. The message still works Bro. Strange...and those hungry people are still out there. And when they say all manner of evil against you falsely for his name's sake, what are you supposed to do? That's right...rejoice.

I am a little surprised that I would even open such an idiot thread as this, especially with such a title.

Man alive!

I can't believe this. This will be my one and only post here on this thread. The heathern are raging and the people are imagining vain things. Let 'em have at it. Besides, my time is greatly limited.

Anyway, for all of you that are going to quote me, please quote me correctly. Example: I never said anyone at the La Camp was in demonic worship. I did not say that POA was in demonic worship nor did I say that any of their songs were demonic worship.

But then, regardless of what was actually said, it matters naught. You will just make up things and pretent that I said it anyway. Shame on you. That is not even Christian to do that.

Music is a language of the spirit world. It matters little concerning the wonderful words put in a song if the sound is not right. Sooner or later, given enough time, the words will begin to conform to the sound.

If the devil can give us his sound in the church, it is only a matter of time before he gives us his words. The words will eventually align to the sound. We must not follow the pied piper to destruction.

I know that some of you do not understand what I am saying here, as evidenced from the remarks that I've read. It is truly sad, giving me little hope for the future of the Apolstolic movement if this sentiment becomes widespread and total.

When Evan Roberts was asked if England could possibly have revival, he recognized the importance of the right sound. He said, "Can they sing?"

Psa 89:15, "Blessed is the people that know the joyful sound: they shall walk O Lord, in the light of thy countenance."

There are some people that do not know the joyful sound. There are some who do. If you do not know the joyful sound of the Spirit, I would like to know that you will seek to know it with ears atuned to the sound of the Spirit. There is the sound of the Dove and there is the sound of the Crow. Do you know the difference?

The devil wants to steal our music. Before he was cast down from the realms of light, he was the chief musician there. He lost his preeminisence in that realm. He has been jealous over God's heavenly sound desiring to capture it to destroy it ever since his downfall.

vs 16: "In thy name shall they (who know the joyful sound) rejoice all the day: and in thy righteousness shall they (who know the joyful sound) be exalted."

If you have not been to the top of the mountain to behold the glory of the Lord, I can certainly understand how this might be somewhat confused for you. I don't blame you. I suppose I would be confused too. But, I've been there. I heard the sound. I know the difference.

vs 17, "For thou art the glory of their (who know the joyful sound) strength: and in thy favour our horn shall be exalted."

Regardless how good the words of a song, if shrouded within the sound of unsanctified music born of unconsecrated spirits that has never climbed the mountain to the top to see the glory of the Lord, the sound is wrong.

Want me to explain how this is so? It would be imposible to do in words. If you can't tell sanctified music born of consecrated spirits and what is not, I am afraid that you have never truly become an eyewitness of His majesty and beheld His glory behind the veil.

Has the evening shades so fallen that there is little light left anymore? I am heartened only by the words of the Prophet so long ago, "...in the evening time there shall be light."
