Folks jammed into convention halls at 5:30AM for Morning Prayer! As Mother Shaw prayed, the presence of the Holy Spirit was palpable, hovering in the atmosphere. A supernatural silence covered that place, except one, who'd speak in tongues. Mother Shaw interpreted them & people praised God even more. God literally spoke thru these gifts & the real Spirit moved! She always prayed "To God Be the Glory," & NEVER made it about herself or spiritual gifts; but about God, whom she called "The Big He".
Her spirit reminds of Mother Deola Wells-Johnson. She's the asst. pastor at Temple of Deliverance, Bishop Patterson's church. I was under her when I was in Memphis...Mother Shaw reminds me so much of her.
Thank Jehovah God for the Mother and Father of Zion. Their teaching on prayer and holiness living was not being taught, but they lived holy lives unto the Lord.
Mother Shaw she's something I had the chance of being in her presence some time back she is a powerful prayer power house...... All I can say is pray mother.....
this is my first time seeing her and I am so moved and touched by this and the other three (3) posting of her on this site. wow, it is my prayer to be that spiritually close to God.
My mother would purchase tapes of the great Mother Shaw leading the morning prayer at the Women's Convention in the 80's and we'd listen to them at home. I wish we still had those priceless tapes.
Organplaya, thank you so much for this video. That is my daddy, Pastor Ben Van Zandt on the left behind Mother Shaw. He is sick now and it is wonderful to see him like this when he was in great health. He and my mom always used to go to those prayer clinics.
@Vanmuz Fam Wow that is so wonderful!!! Be sure to show him this video!!!! If he can't see it, let him hear it. I would love to get his input about those clinics as we have them at my church right now. Is there anyway I could get his input? Even if its just for a few minutes. 😃😇🙏🙏🙏🙏
Very anointed....reminds me of the scripture in Roman 8:26 Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. I love this kind of prayer!
i enjoyed and was blessed by the old prayer bands too! i miss them and those old mothers. they strenthened me so much. wish they had those prayer bands now! They are so needed now!
Actually, Bishop Ithiel Clemons, who hosted the Prayer Clinics wanted the next genereation to carry on her style of prayer, so it would not be lost. He encouraged us to "study" her ways, because Mother Shaw's style is so much like Bishop Mason's. She learned much it from him. The bible also says the mark the perfect man. This was Mother Shaw wish as well. Bishop Clemens said not to worry about people mocking those who seek to carry it on. The intent of the heart and a sincere spirit is the key!
Thank God for the mothers of the church. Mother Shaw didn't play. I was to told that the saints would be at 5 am prayer during the convocation and it would be packed.
she is wearing transition lens glasses for you who think she's trying to be Hollywood. Many times video cameras use special camera lights that are extremely bright. And if you never heard tongues like these then, you must have just gotten into the C.O.G.I.C. from another planet. If you stayed before GOD and fasted and prayed like this vessel of GOD did, maybe you would speak in those same kind of tongues. stop trying to find something wrong with everybody but yourself.
to all of the "MUSIC" people let's see some comments on these prayer videos. It is prayer that has brought us, It is prayer that has kept us from many hurtful and harmful dangers, toils and snares, and It is prayer that will takes us all the way. AND WE SAY "YES" God has given us gifts and talents. Let us be greatful for that Honor he(GOD) has bestowed upon us. AND WE SAY "YES"
I knew Supt. Simmons and Mother Shaw personally and Supt. Simmons told me that he did not know her....Mother Shaw had gone to be with the Lord before Supt. Simmons became part of COGIC
Organplaya Thank you thank you thank you Chills filled my body just at the reading that Mother Shaw was available. I love her.... My life was changed just by her presence. I actually had alone and personal time with her. THANKS THANKS THANKS...
The prayer clinic is a continuous stream of praying and testimony/preaching. The wonderful thing was that people knew how to testify without giving the devil the glory, telling their entire life's story, and spilling the beans on someone else's personal life. Every year in Memphis, TN the Church of God in Christ does something similar to the prayer clinic and is led by Evangelist Francis Kelley and a few others. It's powerful!
Mother better PRAY!!!! Mother Shaw and my great grandmother were VERY GOOD FRIENDS... They would talk and pray together on the phone and things like that...
no this is the one and only mother elsie shaw, she was the prayer warrior of all the prayer warriors,she was a prophetess that brought correction to the body of christ.She was a giant in the gospel I believe she will go down in History as one of the most righteous women that walk the face of the planet
Wow, this word about the Giants that she spoke about from 2:10-2:20 is very true and if we read the word Genesis 6:4, Deu. 2:19-21 and other verses that speaks that this race of beings was not natural. Giants were when the Sons of God (Fallen angels) and man came into eachother....
How I miss both Mother Jones a real true prayer warrior and Bishop R.T. Jones. I met them when I was a teenager going to school with both their son and daughter in Philly.I will always play heir recordings as long as I'm with Gospel Highway Eleven. Linwood Heath, WNAP/Phila.
This is a pray from Saints that kepted a real close with God. No form or fashion, just being led by the Holy Ghost. If only we could like this today, instead of trying to be so proper. Lord help us today.
I'm almost in tears just hearing the prayer of a TRUE INTERCESSOR once more....this is my 1st time seeing her, but i've heard so much about Mother Shaw....she was very close the late Lady Ruby J. Butler (1st Lady of Amazing Instutional COGIC/Jackson, MS....prayer warrior president MS Southern 1st Ecclesiastical Jurisdiction)
It's funny because I know of a preacher who emulates her so, that he does the same tongues and hand claps within her prayer. I miss these days, but we should learn from them and not try to mimick such greats in the church. I'm glad you posted this. It takes me back to the ole' time way when I didn't have a worry in the world but to make it to church on time - and later have a good chicken dinner with a red soda:)
@organplaya Don't worry about those who have negative things to say. Just pray for them. I have learned that everyone may not understand this walk, but we definitely want them to walk it with us because Christ died for all our sins. Thank you for posting this.
Yes there is I have it in my collection...Bishop Mason homegoing is on CD I have it in my collection as well...I do know someone that has rear footage when she came to us in Georgia yearly.
FOR GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD THAT HE GAVE HIS ONLY SON (JESUS) THAT WHOSOEVER BELIEVE IN HIM (JESUS) WILL NOT PERISH (IN HELL) BUT HAVE EVERLASTING LIFE (IN THE NEW HEAVENS AND EARTH) THAT IS THE ONLY WAY YOU WILL "BE READY" FOREVER BECAUSE YOU ARE NOW "SEALED" WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT OF PROMISE, SALVATION IS A FREE GIFT OFFERED BY GOD NOT OF WORKS LEST ANYONE SHOULD BOAST, TRUST CHRIST TODAY ONCE YOU ARE SAVED YOU ARE SAVED FOREVER! GOD WILL NEVER TAKE SALVATION AWAY FROM YOU FOR ANY REASON
@organplaya If you hear Bishop Mason on recordings of His prayers, he speaks in tongues similar to those of Mother Shaws....so I know it is TRULY OF THE LORD!!! AMEN!!!
maturblackman.... this is what I'm trying to get people to see... how the church was in it's first Glory. and how do you see it now? And I thank you for YOUR comment. Be Blessed.
First I would not bear false witness on two great people I knew...you need to know your facts Mother Shaw's homegoing was June 2, 1997@ Temple of Deliverance(old location) looking at the program from service and I know what Supt. Simmons told me at his home when Citadel came into COGIC Central GA. Juris. in summer of 1997 I don't speak lies and that prayer summitt is held in NC always in September
i agree to a degree, cause they had alot of shouting, dancing and NOISE back then too!Cause when you truly spend time with God, you cant help but shout and dance when the move comes. truth be told, they dont even shout and dance enough with the power like they use to!so ALL of the parts of the true pentecostal experience are important!
That red soda was nothing but sugar, artificial taste, more sugar, and a little water. It was like cough syrup. But my favorite red soda - which I can't find here in NC - is Tahitian Treat. Nothing but a diabetes smoothie, but great taste:)
