I have started to see this as the big "next thing" among our charismatic brethren... I have even seen folks like JS in Shreveport having these types of services (though there may be differences from what he does to what this is.. i dunno.. I dont mean this as a attack..).
The apostle Jame, the half-brother of Jesus was called "old camel knees" because he spent so much time in active prayer. We have a long tradition of active prayer. This seems different if done in this way... its blanking the consciousness and potentially opening up someone to spiritual posession or maybe opression ... they advocate folks to pretty much go to a form of meditation.
Jesus didn't exhibit any of this activity... his sample prayer took alot of thought.. it wasn't just laying on the floor, passively open. When he prayed in the Garden before his crucifixion... he was weeping and quite active.
I know that those who do long term prayer will spend a time of listening after they pray.. that I understand.. but is this something else different. And consider that this is coming from the Toronto Airport Fellowship.. which has been a source of crazy stuff like animal noises and "holy laughter".to
Im going to do more research to understand what they are really getting at if anything... anyone have any imput?
