| Over the last number of years God has been stirring the depths of our hearts through
Celtic music. This new sound has swept the world and set our feet a dancing. I
believe that God has also given a new sound to the church. This sound is
inspirational and deep. It produces a real desire to worship and dance before the
Lord. |
| This new sound is introducing a new depth and a new freedom into our worship. New
instruments often thought to be only used in a secular setting are now coming into the
church and releasing a new power and dynamic of the Holy Spirit. |
| Dancing often in the past was associated also with the world but now a fresh wave of
Holy Spirit anointed dancing and shouting is sweeping the church. people are moving
from the pew into a more demonstrative mode of worship. From the very youngest to
the oldest church member Celtic worship means freedom to enjoy God's awesome presence. |
| Celtic worship also is a battle cry. It enables a new shout to come forward from
the mouths of God's people. A new shout of freedom is arising within our hearts and
Celtic worship allows us to shout it out. |
| Celtic worship allows us to introduce Holy demonstrative acts. These acts are not
the rituals dead or otherwise of the past but living demonstrations of God's living
presence in our midst. Flags and sticks can be used in intercession to provoke the
enemy and to drive him out. |
