God Insomnia

    God insomnia, is when you are so focused on what God is teaching
you, that you don't get tired. Sometimes it happens at church conventions
or summits, sometimes it happens in your own home. 
    Paul used to get God insomnia, especially when he preached. In Acts
it talks about a boy falling out of a window at 3:00 AM as Paul was still
preaching. I've been at a few pentecostal meetings that ministers have
preached for a couple of hours.
    We don't see or hear of that kind of preaching very much anymore,  
but as you read the Gospels you can see that Jesus preached for hours
sometimes. The feeding of the 5,000 comes to mind, Jesus preached so
long that the people had to eat.
    I find it amusing that adults are only supposed to have 20 to 30 
minute spans of concentration, and that's why the modern sermon is 
only 30 minutes. I'm old enough to remember old tent revivals where
you packed a lunch. The preacher would get wound up in the scriptures
 and the next thing you know it's two o'clock, and you would take a 
lunch break. Maybe a thirty minute cat nap, and the preacher would 
continue his sermon.
    Sundays used to be all day affairs, church, pot-luck, church, then
go home. There are still a lot of churches in the south that it's done
that way. I don't believe God has changed, but we Christians, sure have.
Our priorities are all messed up, when it comes to God. We get upset
if the service doesn't go just like the bulletin says.
    Peter, Paul, even Jesus wouldn't be allowed in our pulpits, cause
they are to long winded. Can you imagine no playbook for church 
service? 
    Today we are going to let The Holy Spirit run the service, we will
sing until the minister feels the Holy Spirit moving him to preach. He
will close the sermon, when the Holy Spirit tells him to. I can all ready
 hear the complaints coming in.
    What's interesting to me, is that a lot of the bigger churches have
ministers that preach for an hour or more every Sunday. They operate
on God's time, instead of a clock on the wall. I love Spirit filled services
the time seems to fly by. I wish the services were 
Spirit Filled Every Time The Church Got Together, AMEN!
