Refreshed By Fire (2CD) Best Review
I have all SGM cd's and although this is a good offering of worship, I was not as captivated as with their previous recordings.

Refreshed By Fire (2CD) Overview
2010 two CD release. The world-renowned Shekina Glory Ministry is not your average choir. In fact, technically, the aren't a choir at all. They are a dynamic retinue of psalmists, minstrels, karar, encouragers and banner wavers who have become the paradigm for urban praise and worship music in the young millennium. Over the last decade, they have taken their place alongside Fred Hammond and Israel & New Breed as the trendsetters in contemporary praise and worship music.

Very disappointed - Kevin Boyd - Jamestown, NC
I bought this CD today and I have to say it is pretty bad. It doesn't sound any thing like their other CDs. There is no unity with the songs and feel disjointed. CD1 is terrible I don't really like any songs on there. On the second CD I like Trust me and Just Foe Me that's it. I bought this based off of their previous work without listening to it. I had hoped that they would not follow the path of other artists and lose their way. I hate that I used a gift card on it, being that I could have put that towards a CD I actually like. There's is no anointing whatsoever. I would highly recommend people not buy this CD. Let me say this as SGM fan I hope they get back to their roots.
Not What I Hoped For - Felicia T. Overton - Haymarket, Virginia United States
I was wondering if it was just me and my husband. I guess not. This release felt more commercial and some of the theology was a bit different as well. Not sure what has happened. I am only able to play one song and that is the reprise of refreshed by fire. It is a song of repentance and deliverance.
A waste of a piece of my life - Richie Rich -
Know this 1st. I love Shekinah Glory. I bought there 1st cd twice as 1 went missing. I bought all the others as they were released. The 3rd installation Jesus wasn't so great, I love prophecy as it has its place and their were confirmations for me, though I think it would have been good to have left it out of the cd making room for songs but left on the DVD it was still a blessing anyway. Anyhow the album Jesus made it through for me because God's anointing was on it still.
I admit I was a bit sceptical about Refreshed By Fire mainly because of the last one. The cd: The 1st two tracks the intro and Reclaim your mountain was okay. After it though it became ridiculous quickly with off-key unanointed singing and amateur sounding not for CD songs. The song Living life is a slow build up and for the most part off-key but when SGM actually joins in it sounds okay. The worry sets in quickly though about this production that its not an SGM production as a body but a Phil Tarver album. This is just CD 1. After living life it becomes a "should be dvd only" recording with what you will inevitably be hearing for the next how much years that you put on the CD. Irritating!!!
Note: the 1st two albums particularly were successful Because they focused chiefly on the Outer court,Inner court,Holy of Holies.
CD 2: The 1st track the minstrel released is something that really should have got done in their own personal worship practice prayer time, certainly not live, so should the 2nd track as it just became bugging entertainment on CD not anointing. Its frustrating to listen to because its not SGM as you know it. I tried to make excuses for this obvious waste of printed CD's but its straight whack.
p.s. Phil Tarver needs to stand back and let the team sing together like on there 1st album. He's got his own album. The singers used are average at best but that wouldn't have even stood out if the anointing was consistently on this.
Again SGM's original pattern was Outer court,Inner court,Holy of Holies. This is not the case here at all.
The Rivers of God the track is a refreshing Inner Court NOT Holy of Holies song of which you do begin to open up, but then all of a sudden it just fades out like your listening to something thats pre-recorded, infact all the CD does is keep fading out instead of captivating the atmosphere like all the other albums they did.
The High place - BORING. Ascending Higher - REALLY BORING and the Reprise IS JUST NOT GOOD!. I'd be fighting sleep if the frustration from this project didn't keep me awake.
The track Trust Me is actually ok, not dripping with the anointing but nice. The problem is by the time you get to this song after listening to the previous tracks appreciating it doesn't come easily.
Finally the track "Just for me"; It starts out really nice as it invokes you to lift your hands for about 3mins 45secs and then... Pure screaming and off-key shouting takes place, even then it could actually quite safely end and be kind of respected by 7 mins or so. But no they needed to seal it with 14mins plus more of total nonsense.
what I do hope is that SGM will read the reviews cause this CD is a waste of money. I still love SGM alot. I just believe like many others who have gained notoriety, it's gone to there heads, defo our man Phil. They need to just go back to the Pattern that works and don't rush. Vet the singers voices and lives 1st, see if pride has crept in unawares. Be humble and go back to the pattern of the Outer court,Inner court,Holy of Holies. Also in embracing the worship let us the listeners embrace it too by not fading out every track like your in a recording studio.
In closing; On the 1st two albums there was no need to look super spiritual with a whole bunch of prophecies seeing that your holyghost filled prophetic songs like We worship you today, father me, I embrace you, The secret place, like never before and so much more took us in to receive something fresh from God each time we listened ourselves.
I Don't Recommended This At All!
