Interesting!

Shock versus following the Lord Spirit's leading (which isn't as showey).

Once during a training "testing time" I shared what I had been enjoying, but not very loudly or with panache. Brother Lee said "brother exercise your spirit" after I shared. I was surprised because I thought I was speaking in the Spirit, just not loudly. I didn't think a lot about it. But, I've since seen the term exercise your spirit isn't in the Bible. Exercise yourself unto godliness is. It's made me think that he was looking for loudness vs genuine spirituality. That's sad.
