I have been out of the church for 20 years but I still love a good repetitive bridge in 3 part harmony from a black gospel choir. It makes me wanna run the aisles!!!
Tell me that there is not a Holy Spirit moment when you watch the latest from Glastonbury. Coldplay's Fix You with Michael J Fox joining on guitar, in a wheelchair. Truely moving , considering that MJ Fox is a hometown boy of mine, that my family has gone through loss and pain recently, that faith in Jesus and the song's message of "fix you" will not change the situations including M J Fox's illness. Tell me that a Godly Spirit is there in that space.
The Holy Spirit moves in whatever way HE wants to. YOU are not that powerful....even through the power of drums and electronic enhancement. Does music move us, of course. I can listen to Korn and feel a sort of exhilaration the same as in charismatic church, BUT it is not the same spiritual beckoning and response within the body. I feel its the same as David playing his harp in the field. God could feel the reverberations through David's soul connection of love through him that was surmounted by the playing of music. God created the chords and the drums of our ears to hear specific communication of connection and love with Him. It's not manipulation, its God and considering that YOU are creating that manipulation is like saying you believe you have His same power. That is the enemy. Just play, listen, attend, worship and trust that God is continually working on our spirits. Even in those homosexual spheres, the conviction is still there in their soul no matter what words or music is playing or else they would not be fighting so hard to be accepted. I hear the Holy Spirit and cry no matter where He desires to speak whether that be in silence, in my granny's church of Christ off key hymnal singing, watching a movie, the up and down service of the Catholic church, or the loud worship of evangelical church (all of which I've experienced). The point is, 2 Corinthians says that when you truly accept the Lord, the veil is removed. THAT is when you truly see that the Holy Spirit is speaking WHEREVER and WHENEVER HE wants to and we have no power over that other than prayer and surrender. ❤

I loved the different perspectives. Very insightful.
Just the sound waves exiting the PA system
I think it helps alter your consciousness. It's common in other ecstatic forms of spirituality. I don't think it has to be an either or thing.

Kinda wanted to hear more from Sarah here; felt like one of the hosts kind of just dominated the discussion with rant after rant... :/
