This is what Worship is all about, inviting/welcoming the presence of God and the move of the Holy Spirit into our services and gatherings as believers. THAT is what REALLY changes the hearts and minds and lives of the people. Not a rock climbing wall for the kids, cappuccino and Christ, or all the other man plans, but opening ourselves up to do HIS will and flow with the move of HIS spirit!
NOW is the time for boldly entering into the presence of God like NEVER BEFORE, there is so much pressure on the Church to compromise the WORD and to hide the Holy Spirit when we should be waiting on His presence and crying out for the pouring out of HIS spirit on all flesh like never before! We SHOULD want to see Him move mightily across the nations, we SHOULD want to see the tangible presence of God fall in our services, we SHOULD want to listen to what His Spirit is saying, we SHOULD want to see the sick and diseased healed and made whole by the POWER of the anointing and the presence of God, we SHOULD want to see and feel the tangible presence of God in our midst, we SHOULD want to see all those things and more, however it seems that Satan has used deception to cause churches to close their doors to the Spirit and open their doors to everyone else while patting the fornicator, homosexual, back-stabbers, and drug users on the back telling them they are A-OKAY just the way they are, but the TRUTH is that they are not "ok just the way they are." The TRUTH is that they can come just as they are, but not stay just as they are. The TRUTH is that they can come in contact with the POWER and PRESENCE of the Spirit of God and be delivered from the bondages of sin and the kingdom of darkness and be translated into the LIGHT.

Don't force the Holy Spirit and the presence of God out of your church services, tell Him today that He IS welcome in "this place" wherever you worship, invite Him in and if it offends people then that is their issue. I would rather offend people, than to grieve and offend the Holy Spirit and God, we were put here to make GOD happy NOT men!!!!!!
Until Next Time,
