    My God! The prayers of those Deacons from back in the day. I remember in 1979, at 4 years old, hearing those Deacons belt out this prayer. Everytime I hear it, it wakes up something in me. To God be the. Glory.

    I love this type of old good Gospel music.. It is not no other music can match it. It made me cry. I grew up around this kind of old gospel. My Daddy was a Baptist Preacher. So I know he taught us the love and works of God, though these kind of songs.🙏✝️❤️😥

    This brought me back 50years ago when our church made 100 years old. We dressed and sang old songs that day. This was when we still had benches and wooden floors. The service used to rock from the heels on the floor. They still make candidates for baptism sit on the moaners bench.

    Brought tears to my eyes because I remember when deacons were filled with God's Spirit and prayed like this. Just anybody could not be a deacon. He had to be set aside and taught his duties to God and the Church and then the Pastor and seasoned deacons would lay hands on him and pray over him. Unfortunately today it's more about pats on the back than true holiness. Humbleness in prayer is what we need in church.

Black lives will not matter to anyone else until Black lives start to matter to Black people. And how can we expect others to love us when we dont love ourselves.... We as a Black people Need to come together on a positive Level!

    So many these days don't know about the way elders would pray in church back in the day. I learned a lot from listening to those old deacons in church. If kids acted up in church back then; the ushers or elders would straighten them up and tell the parents and they got it again at home, if not in church. Things have truly changed from the ole time way.

      Dollie Miller many of our ancestors. were molesting their children. many abuse their wife and children. adultery was high and hidden sin was there. Trust God only. God will not share His Glory. Eyes and Hears open to God. It's a snare to trust man. Emotionism, sounds good but, God wants our heart. Fruit will follow. Many prayed and sin was still happening??? Many times as a child I just didn't understand. today I understand. ❤ ❤ ❤
