Just When You Thought You Have Seen Everything

March 5th, 2007 by Carl Thomas.

I preached this past Wednesday and the anointing was so think people started wailing half way through the service. I have no idea why that happens. I just know that it does.

I had an altar call and had the young people from my discipleship class work the altar with me. For some of them it was the first time they ever saw someone they were praying for get touched with physical manifestations. Nothing tickles me more than this.

Anyway . . . I was working the altar when I came upon a girl I knew had been coming but had not really gotten to know yet. We have lots of people form different cultures come to our meetings and apparently modesty has different meanings for different people. So I came to this (over)developed yet under dressed girl.

I laid my hands on her head and then noticed a cell phone wedged in between pieces of flesh in a manner that men (and most women) would not be able to accomplish.

There are many places in the Bible that talk about how God challenges the prideful.

Up until this point, I thought that I had seen everything. I have even gotten used to seeing people kneeling at the altar with g-strings sticking up out of their pants. I have seen preachers with their cellphone still on their belt while bringing the message (must have been a really important call they were waiting for). I have seen leather-pantsed worship leaders (I spent worship face down on the floor). I was even in a service where a man was sitting on the steps of the altar “prophesying” while cuddling the woman he was living with (sans marriage). But up until Wednesday I had never seen overexposed cleavage used as an electronic devise holster.

Just thought you might want to know that I have been humbled.
