OVERVIEW
There is nothing like a Spirit-filled worship service. Many times we are exuberant in our worship. We express ourselves in singing, dancing, clapping, leaping, shouting, and through the playing of instruments. At other times, we may pray quietly, whispering words of love. These actions are heartfelt as a result of what Christ has done for us and for who He is. It is the joy He gives, through His Spirit in our lives that makes us so ecstatically happy.
 

We pray together aloud because in the Bible we read, “They lifted up their voice to God with one accord.”   Acts 4:24

We lift our hands in Praise because in the Bible we read, “Lift up your hands in the sanctuary, and bless the Lord.”   Psalm 134:2

We sing with all our hearts because in the Bible we read, “Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all the earth: make a loud noise, and rejoice, and sing praise.”   Psalm 98:4

We play musical instruments because in the Bible we read, “And all the house of Israel played before the LORD on all manner of instruments.”  II Samuel 6:5

We clap and shout unto God because in the Bible we read, “O clap your hands, all ye people; shout unto God with the voice of triumph.”   Psalm 47:1

We dance before the Lord because in the Bible we read, “Praise him with the timbrel and dance: praise him with stringed instruments and organs.”   Psalm 150:4

We anoint with oil for divine healing because in the Bible we read, “Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord.”   James 5:14
