Until I Found The Lord - Walter Hawkins

[@johnettejacobs3580]

Was seeking the baptism of the Holy Spirit...was told that God lives in the praises of His people... Was listening to this song when God filled me with the holy spirit. Had been asking God to baptise me in the holy spirit.... And I got Him....a gully washing from my belly....moving all through my soul. Thank God for the previous blodd of Jesus cleansing my soul. So glad to be washed in the blood!

THIS WAS PURE CHURCH SERVICE! I remember singing in the choir and hand-clapping was one of the musicl instruments. You sang until you were slain in "sweat" (if you know what I mean). The anointing of the Holy Spirit saturated the place. Time was not a factor when the Spirit took over. Oh how I miss this. Bishop Hawkins was definitely "Goin Up Yonder" and he is "Changed".

The bible clearly states: If my people, which are called by name, would humble themselves and seek my face, then will i hear from heaven. The more you praise Him, the more He will bless you; Jesus is the most powerful name under the heaven, and when you praise or call on Him, I assure you He will show up, and if He ever touch your inner soul, you will go forth in praises/dancing in the Holy Ghost. This is the type of services and singing I was raised around; the holy saints of God knows how to praise God and to send up praises to Him, so His blessings come down. I gets so excited by looking at the end of this song, where the peoples are getting happy and saved, that is what it is all about, bringing salvation to all by lifting up the name of Jesus. He told us if we lift Him up, He would draw all men unto Him amen. Peace and love

Oh I love to see the spirit going forth and to watch others go forth in a holy dance; I mean the sincere saints, not the one who are insincere and pretending, instead of letting the spirit have its own way. I also have praised God, until the Holy Ghost took over my body; i tell you I have not experience no other joy, than when i felt the spirit of the living God. I feel so good when i look at this video, they really praise the Lord on this song amen. He's right on, Jesus is, yes He is, call on Him when you feel low in spirit or just sad to the facts of life, He will touch you in your inner soul, just believe in Him and give Him a chance.

This was truly amazing. I saw this on a Cable Channel that is now obscure and I saw this Concert as well as one in The 1980's the other showing a Man whom I think was White who may have sinned and found his way to salvation. If these guys had been in Britian on The X Factor or even Britian's Got Talent, they would have "Saved" The Judges & The Audience. Several Years Ago on the UK Soap Opera EastEnders, one of the Characters Maureen Slater aka "Little Mo" her Mother's Namesake Child got married o Xmas Day. They were married by a Black Preacher who was probably from the West Indies with a Choir to Bless them, they were Blue Collar Folks, who probably never heard Gospel Music before but they were blown away.

[@laminage]

Other fantastic musicians were The Late Benny "Papa Zita" Benjamin (RIP) and "Ivory" Joe Hunter as well as Eddie "Bongo" Brown who were Motown Funk Brothers who could play the you know what out of their Instruments. In fact if you can see Gladys Knight & The Pips perform in 1970 in Texas for Vietnam Veterans you'll see him. Ivory Joe Hunter like a lot of Motown Artists also have strong ties to the Church through their Ancestors.

[@qCLEFJones]

Love old stuff (I'm 25)...Love SOUL music...little country, pop, R&B, gospel, contemporary Christian, folk, jazz...music needs to evolve & change, however, when it comes 2 kingdom music (contemporary Christian, inspirational, Christian Rap, gospel), lyricists must be sure that they pray for God's will to be done 1st, then worry about dollars 2nd...yes dollars r vital... ministry 1st, job 2nd...providing for family adequately is God's will 2...many of today's artists get it right...but not all...

Lol. Your comment is funny because, actually, Joel was the bass player as well on the actual album recording for this. Joel was very particular about who he selected to play along side him, and you had to play it exactly to Joel’s approval. Walter and Edwin wouldn’t let you play with them until Joel gave the nod.

RVBW-Walter Hawkins is no doubt one of the premier talents, song writers and vocals of his generation and even generations to come, in Gospel music.
