It was growing rapidly (about 400 there that day), open to all, with powerful Praise & Worship.
Rather than a formal choir with robes (and do not misunderstand - I love those, too!), the about nine singers were dressed as they desired, directed by the black song director - an impressive, tall-standing man.
No orchestra played - no organ booming.
From what I already know of you, you will understand and deeply appreciate this!
It was All About Jesus!!
At first, there was a prolonged silence.....then a barely perceptible swaying motion to one side - then another - gradually just a tiny bit faster, until it settled into a slow motion, with the very softest of humming growing to a whisper...
The soloist softly mouthed the Holy Name "Jesus.." - then in slow rhythm and barely louder sound growing, THE PICTURE WAS SET in my mind!!
The Holy Spirit showed me in my Understanding an African veldte scene, vast and dark - a glimmer of light slowly suffusing the sky and surroundings - and the sun/SON rising, bathing us with True Light!!!
As this voice that needn't have even had a body, so totally focused upon The Lord Jesus with nothing but His Holy Name put forth, rose to a crescendo, He was truly there, and one fully worshipped Him in a new dimension.
We were not immediately able to speak afterward, so glorious and beautiful was the sound and image given....
Again - A Joyous Easter to All - -
It is not about where you worship Him - the surroundings can be anywhere, at any time - His very Name can become a full prayer.
