Christians, when God moves across your heart, say when the choir is singing, are you often moved to tears?

Question

Do you feel embarrassed when you cry in church? Men are you moved to tears also?

Answer 1

No I fall asleep, and wonder why I bother to believe in a God, because the choir sucks so bad, and expects us to stand up and leave our hands up the whole freakin' hour.

Answer 2

Just recently I started crying in Church, because I'm honestly filled with the Holy Spirit. Most of the time they are tears of joy, peace or happiness.
Other times they can be tears of sadness 'cause you might be going through something and feel like God isn't there, until you come to the realization that He is there...all the time.

However, God never required us to cry when we're in Church, so don't think that it's some weird kind of "ranking" that says the more you cry the "holier" you are...(some people might).....
** By the way, I'm not embarrassed to be moved by the Holy Spirit

Answer 3

Why would I feel embarrassed for cring in church? That would be as if I was embarrassed by God!

Yes, there has been times that I have cried in church. When I accepted Jesus as my Lord and Savior. I cried through out the entire service. When, I was baptized as soon as I came up out of the water I smelt Jasmine. I could smell Jasmine on and around me for a week. Yes, I did ask to see if anyone was wearing the frangrance or if it was an air freshner. No one could explain why I could smell this fragrance and no one else could. Except for it was Jesus' presence.
Some other examples of when I have been moved to tears. Like for instance when my son accepted Jesus as his savior. Also, when my son and daughter was baptized. There has also been occasions when the presence of God is so thick and the annointing comes on you that all you can do is weep. Other times you shout, sometimes you dance, run laps around the church, praise, and worship God. Then one of the best experience that I have had was during a prayer advance. Which is were our church members take turns praying for 24 hours. No, one person does not pray for the full 24 hours. We sign up for an hour at a time. Then, we pray out whatever needs to be prayed out. If that takes an hour or 5 hours that is fine. We are only requried to stay for an hour. Any ways, the experience that I had during the prayer advances was incredible. The Holy Spirit instructed me to walk around the church with my eyes closed and to trust that God would lead me the way I need to go without falling or, bumping into anything. It was amazing! I later found out that there were several people in our church that was instructed to do the same thing. I invisioned it as a walk of Faith! Another wonderous thing that happen that night was that I recieved several visions from God! One of the visions that I recieved has come to pass. The other vision are in the process. I also weeped when I was baptized in the Holy Spirit and began to speak in tonuges. God is awesome in every way! All things are possible through Jesus Christ and God!

Answer 4

As the organist and choir director at church, I nevery cry when the choir is singing because I've heard them practice the same song a couple thousand times before that morning LOL.

But I've become very good at playing the organ while crying at funerals...

Answer 5

Not so much when others sing but when I do, the words seem to help me be closer to God and yes, the tears do come to my eyes. Christian music for me is more than just a song. It is the expression of my love and faith in my God.

Answer 6

"Edward Scissorhands" moved me to tears, as properly. some thing on the subject of the mixture of surreal environment and Edward's desolation only made me decide to realize into the reveal and convey him residing house with me. i can't have faith i bypass to admit this, yet watching YouTube video clips of dogs dancing -- that truthfully weird and wonderful element the place human beings carry out elaborately choreographed dances with their dogs -- makes me cry like an fool. I have no clarification, because of fact it variety of feels to be a visceral reaction of a few variety. i'm keen on dogs, however the considered coaching one to bop suited is completely ridiculous to me. My best wager is that i'm moved by the interplay between the dogs and his proprietor, because of fact that's needless to say consistent with one hundred% loyalty and mutual affection. even however that's the silliest element i've got ever considered. The action picture "The Deep end of the sea" with Michelle Pfeiffer and take care of Williams has a scene that makes me weep, even yet it is not an needless to say emotional scene. that's the single the place the abducted son who has been back to the kinfolk he does not even remember tries to coach his parents a Greek dance. it is so thoroughly happy, however the Greek music is variety of a subliminal reminder that the guy who raised the boy as his very own is now thoroughly absent from his existence and suffering on my own, someplace else.

Answer 7

Not usually. I am not much of a weeper in general unless something really bothers me and I'm hurting. I'm a man, and maybe I'm a little embarrassed sometimes but I'm working on getting over that attitude because Jesus didn't hide his emotions and we as men should be more open with our emotions than we are a lot of times. It's really not weak to cry. It's often necessary in order to heal properly from wounds that we've taken. I know I fell in love with a girl one time and God made me let her go because I wasn't ready for a relationship at that point and she wasn't the one for me. A man who knew nothing about the situation told me that God told him this and I had been sensing the same thing but just wasn't positive about it so his word was the confirmation that I needed and I told her the story and left. I have not seen or heard from her since. Anyway, back to the point of tears, every time after that, for a few days, every time I worshiped God with all my heart, I got a few words out and couldn't sing anymore because I was crying. It was annoying but God knew that I needed to cry. I never cried in an actual church service over her that I can remember though. Maybe I was too embarrassed, so I put on a strong face. I don't know.

By the way, atheists, I know that there is emotion involved when we "sense God's presence." Does that somehow prove that God's presence isn't really real at all or could it be that God stirs up emotions and we create our own emotions? The complexity of emotions that humans have and animals don't have points out that humans are far different from animals. Animals don't ponder why they are here. They don't ask theological questions at all. Far as we can tell, they just live to eat, drink, reproduce, and be merry. When humans live this way, they are not living the way they were meant to live because they become very shallow people and we intuitively know this in our hearts, without science having to prove it or agree. Isn't it possible that since you don't know absolutely everything, that God could exist and you wouldn't know it? The complexity of cells, tissues, organs, plants, even the simplest of bacteria points to a designer. Humans are much more complex than this computer, for example, but no scientist would ever theorize that this computer evolved by chance without a designer. How much more ludicrous is it to believe that the human body could evolve by mistake? Romans 1 tells us that unbelievers are without excuse because they do know that the Bible is true but they suppress the truth because they are sinners and do not want to answer to God. Most never read it at all because they don't want to deal with the issues it raises about them or someone else. They're trying to get away from Him. They'll get their wish in hell. Living a life that disregards God is breaking the greatest commandment of all; to love the Lord with all your heart, mind, soul, and strength, so there are no good people that don't love Jesus. It's similar to a man who provides well for his family, feeds the poor, preaches the gospel, and does all sorts of good works but neglects his wife and children emotionally because he never spends any time with them. His family, those who were closest to him, would not say that he was a very good man, even though he did good things, because he neglected what was most important in life. The Bible calls us Christians, the Bride of Christ and God's adopted children. We must nurture this relationship with God, and also our relationships with our friends and family. This in turn, models the love of God to a lost and dying world. It is out of this relationship that our good works should flow. It is not a works-based salvation, like every other religion in the world. Rather, we do good works because we are saved. Salvation is by grace.

Answer 8

The power the music and lyrics have over your heart and soul is amazing and indescribeable. Tears have come to my eyes during the singing - It's the Holy Spirit reaching out to you..

Answer 9

hi,
i am often moved to tears in church... and a beautiful hymn can also bring about tears. no, i am never embarrassed to cry in Church.

Answer 10

Yes, sometimes when I am singing in church/with a group of Christians etc I do start to cry. And stupidly, I do feel embarrassed.

Answer 11

Yes I do. It does not matter to me what others think. The Word of God says that if we are ashamed to own Him before men/women here on earth, then He will be ashamed to own us before His Father in Heaven. I am not embarassed because of my emotions. Quite to contrary, my heart goes out to others that cannot feel HIm in the way. May God Bless U.
