Perry Stone is a good sincere man of God. I hope his video will shut the mouth of his adversaries. I think we all should listen to this video just so we can properly defend him and anyone else that might have done the same thing. The sinner world would say things against him but for Holy Ghost filled Christians to say something without knowing the facts is just plain ignorant, I think.

Perry Stone recently defended himself after a viral video circulated that showed Stone checking his phone and taking a phone call while praying in tongues. The video was taken from a live stream of Stone's weekly Thursday night prayer meeting at Omega Center International (the original video has since been removed). The video prompted news stories and lots of jokes online—jokes that Stone says he did not appreciate, as they verge on the unforgivable sin of blasphemy against the Holy Spirit.
"A Baptist pastor, African American guy, got a hold of a video clip and somebody else, and it went viral where I am looking at my phone, I have a microphone, I'm praying in the Spirit and travailing and I'm looking at my phone," Stone says in his response video. "And they see me doing this, and so they made a big joke out of this. In fact, some of them made a horrible joke out of it and they even mocked speaking in tongues, which I regret that, because you can't blaspheme the Holy Spirit and get forgiveness if you blaspheme. I'm not saying they did; I think some of them are doing it ignorantly."
Stone says he was praying for a friend's wife who had cancer.

There's a simple solution for this. Turn the cameras off. Turn the microphones off. Make your prayer time a private thing like Jesus told us to do.
It's a shame this is even a point of criticism for folks out there. For me it's not even a concern. We all have critics.

we all have different priorities.
I see criticism of things I think are OK too.. eh.. so we disagree on some things.
it isn't Deal Breaker stuff.

Kind of hard to do when this is a prayer meeting, a time for folks to request prayer and then have corporate prayer for their needs. The Word of God tells us to pray for one another. There is a time for private prayer in your prayer closet, and there is also a time for corporate prayer.
The sad thing is that the church is judging someone for praying period.
