worship and crying

[Lbiagm]

I know but i was thinkin it would be nice to come out of his mouth though.

sorry, doofus was sleeping.....what I said was directed towards jitan....what I was speaking about had to do with recognizing the Holy spirit......personally I used to sing and raise my arms in worship, but anymore the spirit has me stand with my eyes closed and I see Jesus with his arms wide open reaching for me......but Jitan was saying that the Holy Spirt doesn't do any of that and alot of other things.....What are your thoughts?

 

[admtaylor]

There can be tears of joy. It happens to me more than less in worship. Something will fill me with so much joy that the only way I can express it is tears. It's definetly God. Don't worry.

 

[Lbiagm]

I feel like worshipping him and praising him with just about everything mentioned here.

Thanks Ibiagm, Oneric, and Doofus. I think I understand what you were talking about.

Personally I'm not sure if Jitan is saved or not. His comments about the Holy Spirit could have come from me simply because I know I can't understand how some people are so moved by the Holy Spirit. However, I do know some are, and I think that's wonderful. In fact, when I was Jitan's age I probably would have sounded just like him.

I think Jitan may be right to a point. I'm not convinced that Holy Spirit makes people do all those things. Rather, I think it's one's natural response to something wonderful.

If the Holy Spirit makes one cry, then I should be crying too. If the Holy Spirit makes one sing and dance, then I should sing and dance too. I know the Holy Spirit could make me do any or all of those things, but it doesn't.

On the other hand, the Holy Spirit could be making some people do those things, just not me.

Help! My brain is getting tired trying to work all this out! I think I'll just ask God one day.

Enslow It makes some people do it and some just stand there and listen to the music and its LB .

 

[doofus125]

not to offend anyone, but I also believe that alot of people ignore the holy spirt or just kinda push it to the back burner.....I have a friend like that, there are times he just blows it off just so he doesn't cry in front of anyone and ruin his tough guy image..... he's admited that he knows that he has just ignored the urge or pushing to sit down and cry during worship.....

 

[Lbiagm]

thats wrong you should feel it if it wants you.

When I first became a believer my pastor said that there would be times that God would reveal past sins to me wanting me to repent so He could forgive me. I remember the first time this happened. I was just so amazed that God would forgive me of this terrible thing I had done (which I can't even remember what it was now, I love the way God works) that I broke down in tears. It's happened many times now but I'll never forget that first time. I felt The Holy Spirit building up inside me so strongly. I wish I felt that way every moment of the day.

Praise the Lord, oh my soul rejoice. God is great. I cry all the time. When I was on fire for God more than any other time in my life, I would cry EVERY SINGLE SONG. That's when worship was at it's best.

For someone who needs help, you sound like you understand it better then most. But sometimes it is the spirit that cries through us.

Romans 8:26
In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groans that words cannot express.

 

[God's cheergirl]

yeah somtimes when i get really into worship i cna't help falling to my knees and in tears. but its ok, because its just that i'm so overcome by the spirit and i'm truly in the pesence of God.

I think a lot of the crying and stuff during the worship has to do with the music.

 

[katylees]
