A myriad of sleepy churches are still hanging around but if they hadn't started getting at least a pretense of life into them, they would have lost all of their young to the charismatic groups and any others desiring a deeper spiritual walk. Most of these people still resist the spirit, feel dullness in their hands in worship and think that spiritual people are just too emotional. A lot of them pretend to be saints. The God within nature of enthusiasm prompts a child of God to call out the name of Jesus, not just calling Him by His title, Christ or Lord or God or Jehova and try to avoid using His name, but knows the power in His name. Enthusiasms will of themselves lift hands to heaven and experience the power of the spirit raining down.
Enthusiasm can direct that same Holy Ghost toward love ones and circumstances in restoration power.
That's what enthusiasm is like, that's our God within. The Lord has given me the grace to understand the divisions that have separated the church. We are to teach each other how to speak as One, prepare for the marriage supper of the Lamb and to follow Him as the army of the Lord into His kingdom. We have put together a mailing list to discuss the issues that have divided the church so that we may come to one accord. If you would like to be on the mailing list, click here.
