History of messianic/davidic worship

[HelenaZF]

I think awareness of it all came sometime around the very early 1980's with the ICEJ Feasts that were just beginning and focused attention on Davidic worship in a world-wide way. At the same time, notice was being given to the rise of Jews for Jesus and the musical groups "Liberated Wailing Wall" and "Lamb".



I'm sure some of the early Feast celebrations drew their music from these sources as well as from Merv and Marla Watson and others. So in my mind, the two things are inextricably intertwined.



As for the term "extravagant worship", I think it was used long before Hillsong by teachers such as Charlotte Baker and Fuschia Pickett who were pioneers of the expressive worship movement. And their influence pre-dates the 1980's possibly by a decade or more.
