 | 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" (2 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 testify publicly because in the Bible we
read, "I will declare thy name unto my brethren; in the midst of the
congregation will I praise thee" (Psalm 22:22). |
| 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). |
| We allow the operation of the spiritual
gifts because in the Bible we read, "When ye come together, every one of you
hath a psalm, hath a doctrine, hath a tongue, hath a revelation, hath an
interpretation" (1 Corinthians 14:26). |
