1. Praise and Worship by DN Hoets
The central focus of the coming move of God  and that which is - the move which has begun as the call into the wilderness and is at present like an iceberg which is has been formed and which is submerged and which emerges here and there breaking the surface - Jesus Christ and knowing Him deeply and as a consequence of this deeper relationship, the Presence of God. Thus, WORSHIP, which is the entering into His Presence will play a central role in the coming move. 

 


DEREK PRINCE:  

"Most of what is called worship in the Charismatic movement is not worship at all...... it is soulish...... Much of the music that we have in church today appeals to the soul, stimulates the soul, It is very much the same kind of music as is used in the world to stimulate the soul........ Having lived five years in Africa, I am aware that certain repetitive themes and rhythms can deaden your sensitivity. If you sit under that long enough, especially when it is very loud, you lose the capacity to discern. And in Africa those rhythms are used to call up demons."

KENNETH HAGIN:

"In the Charismatic move, Christians have brought the brass of the world into the temple of the Lord as a substitute for pure gold. What they have is a mixture; it is not pure. Therefore, I can only bless My people so far, because they have substituted brass for gold. They’ve brought the CLAPPING and DANCING of the world into the temple."
