In some churches they carry out prayer walks directed against the hosts of evil spirits within the service. Men and women go up front encouraged by the leader who exhorts them to get rid of the demons and declare victory over them. They believe that for this battle it is fundamental to have knowledge and be conscience of spiritual warfare which goes beyond personal exorcism as will be shown later.\u000AIn the middle and high class churches the service is more directed and refined. They plan the liturgy to fit into a timetable and certain established parameters. Although they place great importance on the time of worship and give space to dancing in the spirit, they have more control over their audience. An observer affirms that churches like the FCG \u2018have a selective liturgy style more like the Baptists; more programmed\u2019 (IO1).
