Just Walking Down the Street, Listening to My Ipod and then...
Someone sent me a link to this video and I wanted to share it with all the revelifers....watch til the end...
What did you guys think?
It would be so cool to just feel moved by the Spirit and lift a praise to God with abandon like that. Several times I've felt an overwhelming desire to pray or sing out but it was usually in my car and never a public place.
Have you ever been so moved like this outside of church you just stopped and praised/prayed?

can't say that i have, but if there's any place where you can bust out in praise in the middle of the street, it's new york city ;)
Wow! I too have praised in my car. Sometimes with my son (UTAlan) and that's always an amazing time. But not sure about out in public. I can tell you, if I had that song in my ears, I would have a hard time not doing it though. Honestly, at 44 years old, I don't much care what others think about me. It makes me think of a friend of ours, who walks through the mall singing at the top of his lungs at any given moment. My husband says he doesn't have the gene that makes you feel embarassed.
I like that thought....
Can't...see...video. Silly laptop that won't download 90% of images! >: (
As much as I don't agree with "Public Worship" like that, I do believe he was moved by God in some way and it is amazing to see someone just sing and pray without thought of where they are or who is around them. Kudos to him for not letting anyone or anything stand in the way of his faith or the way he practices it.
That gave me chills. Thanks for sharing it!
Awesome :) Â
That was amazing. I need to find a way to download that so I can watch it and remind myself to be unashamed!
It's great that people have praise on their minds!
wow. as I was watching, truly was thinkin' how can anyone have that song playing in their ears ( it's in my Ipod ) and NOT surrender to the Holy Spirit moving through them, wondering when he'd have to move his hands open to heaven and let that worship OUT of him...... this is a beyond amazing video!!
And yes, there have been times that I had to lift my hand in praise and adoration as I was out walking...... or sing and let worship be my life song.... hiking our 5 acres in way North MN. Just a Jesus freak way down deep.... and have been through too much pain to let what others think push me into their box.
THAT WAS PRETTY COOL..... LOVED IT! :)
That was an amazing video that I greatly enjoyed. And, as for the way I praise, i guess its a little different because, with my shy personality, I've never felt comfortable lifting my hands, even in church.
Definitely to pray in public. Definitely. And I"ve been part of ministries on the city street before, but I have to say I've never just opened my mouth and praised God in public through song.
I can see how someone might assume you're being presumptious or full of yourself...but that's just cynicism(sp?) or something...
*sigh*

That's the second time I've watched that today and both times it left me with a desire to worship God.
Not with wild abandonment.
I'm just not that type.
If I'm listening to a song, especially one as beautiful as that, I might have to stop and let the tears fall. I might have to cry and smile.
Maybe it'd be more fulfilling to open my mouth a shout, but I'm very quiet. In everything.
Perhaps someday...you'll never know when a moment may catch you. You'll never know where you'll be...
Ah...I really liked that! Thanks for posting. =)
I'd like to say that if I witnessed someone doing that, I'd run up next to them and sing along. . .but I'll admit I'd probably be too shy to do something like that by myself out in public. I'm not afraid to walk around with a huge smile on my face from time to time, though, just marvelling at God's greatness.
I haven't knelt down in the middle of a city street like that, but I have sung that same song out loud while listening to it on my headphones and walking out in the country. I'm singing pretty much whenever I'm driving too. I guess I'd be a bit shy about doing it that publicly because I wouldn't want to look like I was showing off..but you gotta sing when the Spirit says sing!
And I'm totally with blueyedreamer84, if I ever ran into that guy in NYC I'd start singing right along with him.
Someone had sent this to me also. I thought it was AMAZING- loved it!
Wow. I have been moved. I've never beenone to sing out loud, not even in church. One time I can remember though, was several years back, and I went with my youth group to a huge concert in Indianapolis at the RCA dome and there were thousands of people and everyone was singing and and screaming and cheering and I was just shaking as I sang at the top of my lungs. It was amazing.
i agree with blueyedreamer84 also :) Ah, to have the courage to do what he's doing......
That is a powerful video. I want that boldness!
I find it incredibly ironic that the guy you're praising in the video is doing one of the few things christ explicitly forbid people from doing.
I end up downloading the song in my walkman phone
Ug i love that song. theres quite a few songs by them.. which i just love busting out singing. I tend to do it in a cemetary. because its quiet.. i mean so no its not public like PEOPLE EVERYWHERE.. but i mean people do show up.. but who cares.. i just find it so easy to think and talk to God. and sometimes.. break into song. often that song. or beautiful one.
@agnophilo@xanga - like what? What's wrong with praising God in public? God said not to pray in public and make it seem as if you were sooo spiritual and all that just to get respect from others. That was when almost everyone was Jewish/Christian. Now that people scoff and spit on someone who would show their faith so openly, I don't think that he would get much respect from the people around him for praising God...
this is cool
