2 Chronicles 7:1-3
When Solomon finished praying, fire came down from heaven and consumed the burnt offering and the sacrifices, and the glory of the LORD filled the temple. The priests could not enter the temple of the LORD because the glory of the LORD filled it. When all the Israelites saw the fire coming down and the glory of the LORD above the temple, they knelt on the pavement with their faces to the ground, and they worshiped and gave thanks to the LORD, saying,
 "He is good;
 his love endures forever."

I have heard people say that our church service restricts God because we have to end at a certain time to clear the sanctuary and the parking lot for the next service. Somehow I don't think that's a problem for God. As soon as Solomon finished his prayer, God made his presence known. If God did that today, I think people in our church would notice and not insist on keeping our schedule.
