What is a "Move of God"? Is it Bible or Culture?

They would put us in prison for that today.
Or we could view Paul who consented to the deaths of women, men, and children in the name of God without any emontion.
Or better yet, lets look at Jesus. He went into the temple, or I should say, Holy Temple, and threw a fit. He upset the tables, knocked over stands, and beat people with a wip made out of platted rope. That kind of behavior just would not be tolerated today, and who, would go to a church with a pastor like that?
As long as mankind has a soul area within him there will always be emontions. God does move through people, I have seen it in my own life toward the lives of others.
Years ago a three year old boy was run over by a motor vehicle. The car stopped right on top of him. By the time rescue got there and moved the vehicle, the child had third degree burns all over his back and shoulders. The child belonged to a friend of mine, someone who just gave his life to the Lord Jesus just weeks before.
I was disturbed that such a thing could have happen. Moved with compassion for this family, I went before the Lord Jesus in prayer. Durng that time he spoke to me and told me to go to the hospital and that's all he said.
I went and there was the parents and friends. They were happy to see me but they were in deep dispair. I didn't know what to do or say outside of the general things that we would normally say.
I asked if I could see the child and they said yes. They called the nurse to make sure it was ok. The nurse came and said I'll go with him. Once in the darkened room the spirit of the Lord move upon me and the lord said, tell the nurse to leave. I turned and asked, May I pray for the child alone? She said of course.
The next day the doctor could not figure out what had happened. He said the child's recovery and healing of the tissue was remarkable and didn't make any senese to him. Two days later the child was released and never even showed any signs or scars.
Jesus does move in the person of the Holy Ghost and I hope no one puts him to the test because of unbelief.
And if a man could tear out his soul then he would rid himself of that emontion.
To be human is to fail in the eyes of others, even when we think we are at our best in the Lord.

Thank you very much. it's true I'm crazy in this faith of my Lord. Iam one of those who believes all things, hopes all things, and endures all things.
If people might think that now I have lost it, I always tell them, You should have seen me when I served the devil.

What is a move from God?

This verse comes to mind when I hear that question:
"If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land." 2 Chronicles 7:14

THAT is a move from God.

Amen to that! And that is exactly what we need right now in this nation before more things begin to happen within the structure of our economy, government, weather, and social reams. I sense some bad things are going to happen before long.
