So yesterday I went down to sheffield (couple of hours drive away) to go to this meeting held by this team called Emerge. Basically they base their meetings on the idea that this is the time for the church to arise and show the kingdom of God through signs, wonders, miracles and love. I didn't really know what to expect from it, because they came to our church a few months back and while I got into it I didn't feel all that changed afterwards. Anyway, the people who do this are so annointed it is beyond belief...like you walk in, someone touches you and you just go mental, lose control of your body and stuff, like the spirit of God hits you big time. I spent a pretty large amount of time on the floor laughing my head off and stuff like that, it was all pretty intense. God showed me some powerful stuff, but in a kind of non-threatening way, like I was in this room full of people shouting and doing stuff that wouldn't look out of place in a mental asylum, but I felt totally at peace and completely calm. At one point three times I tried to stand up after being knocked to the floor and three times God put me back down, and just said that I need to stop trying to go it alone in stuff and start properly getting him involved in everything.
These guys have seen some crazy stuff, I will share a couple of stories I thought were great. Yesterday morning one person on the street in a wheelchair was healed. One of the guys had walked into a card shop a few days and there were all these women in there who suddenly started crying and hugging him; God had showed up bigstyle and all these people had been changed, the same thing happened a couple of years back when they went to a marktetplace which had 200 people in it in Uganda. Another guy had been over in Germany and had been transported back and forth from there to Wales several times by angels (so mental) and a girl had been told to go to her local church and shout wakey wakey, when she got there people were tending graves etc so she said it quietly, God said thats not enough so she shouted it, and an angel walked out of the front door yawning and saying "thanks for waking me up". With all this said, the thing about it which has really impacted me is that today I do feel like something has changed inside me, it feels like it is less of me and more of him.

This doesn't seem Biblical to me. This and all the Florida and Wales stuff. We're taught to be orderly and self-respecting.
Who is this? dont worry, i'll not judge. Anyway, in the bible we are taught to live by the spirit, and this is definitely living by the spirit...God has room for order as much as he does for stuff like this. I'm not really sure what you mean by Self-respecting? could you explain more? For me its all about less of me and more of God, so i dont have a problem with stuff happening that might have hurt pride in the past etc.
