Restoration of praise
Dr. Roberto Miranda
SUMMARY: The Pentecostal revival and the praise and worship movement helped restore the importance of worship in Christianity. Worship is now seen as a powerful instrument to unleash the power of God, receive instruction and energy from the Holy Spirit, and create an environment for the gifts of the Holy Spirit to flow freely. Many view worship as a lifestyle and an essential part of worship with its own importance and functions. It is not just a transitional element towards preaching but a practical instrument to facilitate the moving of the Holy Spirit in any situation.
Without a doubt, the Pentecostal revival in the early twentieth century helped restore worship to its original role as we see it represented in Scripture. The emphasis that the Azuza Street revival brought on the Holy Spirit, gifts, and spiritual warfare brought with it a renewed awareness of the importance of worship among a large section of God's people.
With the praise and worship movement that began in the United States during the 1980s, which later gave rise to Christian singers and composers such as Marcos Witt, Danilo Montero, Marco Barrientos and others in Latin America, worship regained much of the importance it had lost. during the previous years.
