One time I was attending an all-night prayer meeting in a church—ππ·π¦π³π―πͺπ¨π©π΅ ππ³π’πΊπ¦π³, they called it—and I was given a time-slot to exhort the people.
Very often the Spirit is willing to move in a meeting—it's πΆπ΄ who need to learn how to let it happen. So I very briefly exhorted along that line.
And then the Holy Spirit moved in the room. Many were filled the Spirit and with joy and laughter. We just let it roll across the congregation, without any input from the front.
After a while, unclean spirits started coming out of many. We just let the move of the Spirit continue and do its work.
One lady sitting in her seat, filled with the Spirit and newfound freedom, exclaimed with joy, "ππ·π¦π³π―πͺπ¨π©π΅ ππ’πΆπ¨π©πͺπ―π¨ instead of ππ·π¦π³π―πͺπ¨π©π΅ ππ³π’πΊπ¦π³!"
A heart filled with joy—the joy of the Lord—is an incompatible environment for an unclean spirit: it forces it to the surface and drives it out.
You'll often see both joy and deliverance in meetings, when we just let the move of the Spirit go full-course across the congregation, uninterrupted, unhindered, I mean 'unhelped', by other input.
Once the congregation have received fully, that will be the time to start the music and singing again—they'll really have something to sing and dance about!
