I agree, Gena.
I thought there was something wrong in my relationship with God because I didn't fall backwards. Naturally, I wasn't about to fall just because it was the thing to do--that has never been my way anyhow, LOL.

I was in the pentacostal movement for years I will never forget all those times*.Not good*
I do believe we get ourseves worked up in a frenzy for what reason I am not sure.
I never felt comfortable in the pentacostal church but yet I believed that must be where God was since so much happened there.
There were prayer lines to be prayed for and of course the slaying of the spirit.
Lust was rampant there also.
Single people pasing notes to others that were single saying God wants us together.
This was not unusal it happened to many people there.
There was casting out demons almost every revival.
It was a show, I like everyone else got caught up in it.
One night In 2000 I was really stressed wasn't feeling good at all, I went up and said I needed special prayer.
The preacher prayed and said I had a demon I was humilated and frightened.
I did go back the next night and the preacher was standing around talking to others after the meeting telling how he cast a demon out of me.
I felt terrible and rejected and alone embarrased all these things and more.
I could never go to the pentacostal church again after that.
I have only been to one church since then it was Catholic and I never liked it either.
I have mostly since then just prayed for God to be my guide since all the churches taught things I just couldn't swallow.
I am learning God can be right beside you every minute of the day.
I am still learning more about God staying home than churches.
I have been told this is not what God wants but for me I believe it is exactly what he wants.
I have learned in some of the churches over the years that was where my roots were but I now know he wanted me to move on.
A friend gave me Ray's website I would just read a little at a time and I knew I found some real truths there.
I really hope God can teach me much more before I die but it seems there is so much to learn and so little time.
I pray daily God will teach me more I am just trying to soak up as much as I can since we don't know about tommorrow.
As I have mentioned before I have been through some health trials and I can say it has brought me closer to God and for that I am greatful.
I spaced this to make easier reading. :)

B18 I went to a church that had classes on how to fall or "receive the annointing" as they call it. At the altar call we would line up and just fall down as he passed by--used to be ableto at least tell the pastor what you wanted prayer for but that took too much time so we would just fall and "let the HS minister" to us! (the pastor didn't have to bother!)

Wow I never heard of a class like that. Reminds of a time where one of the members of my old church was telling me how they were being taught how to speak in tongues by making weird sounds or something like a little baby. Don't remember to be exact.
