| JESUS - - I WILL DANCE FOR YOU |
As we opened our
meeting, I asked that they have an open mind and a teachable spirit. When you enter into new Spiritual territory,
it is easy to criticize and find fault.
The main thing is not to quench the Holy Spirit or to grieve Him.
I began by giving
my testimony of last Saturday evening as I sat in my kitchen reading a book
about Dancing into the Anointing.
The Lord spoke to
me and asked if I would be willing to dance for Him? I said, yes, Lord, but you know I am not a
dancer. He had me stand in my kitchen,
and He gave me instruction and asked me to do some moves for Him.
He then told me
where to sit on Sunday morning in church, and to take it slowly but to use hand
motions forcefully criss-crossing my arms back and forth when the song was
sung, ‘Break every chain.’ I told God, “They
haven’t sung that song for quite a while, but okay, I will do it if they sing
it tomorrow.”
God asked me to
worship and pull down strongholds with my hands, and to toss the wind and
rain of the Holy Spirit into the air with motions as the songs suggested.
I knew that He was testing my obedience.
This is new
territory to me, and certainly fishing on the other side of the boat. In
the past I have been opposed to orchestrated, (learned- programmed) dance in
the church, and I am not sure all of it is right because a "group" of dancers might not ALL be in the spirit. (Caution). The motions, the rocking, the
swaying, must be decent and certainly in the Spirit. The question is:
Did the Presence of God come down? The
answer is: Yes !!
Psalms 150:4 Praise him with the tambourine and DANCE: praise him with stringed instruments and
organs.
Ecclesiastes 3:4 A time to
weep, to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to DANCE;
2 Samuel 6:16 As
the ark of the Lord came into the
city of David, Michal the daughter of Saul looked out of the window and saw
King David leaping and dancing before the Lord, and she despised
him in her heart.
I am reminded of Elijah and
the prophets of Baal as they jumped and danced. (Understand that satan imitates
the dance of the Lord.)
1 Kings 18: Then the prophets of Baal took the ox which was given
them and they prepared it and called on the name of Baal from morning until
noon saying, "O Baal, answer us." But there was no voice and no one
answered. And they leaped about the altar which they made.
Running can be a form of
dance. I have seen men of God take off
running around the church. Others have jumped repeatedly.
(Psalm 18: 29,33-34,37,50)
For by thee I have run through a troop; and
by my God have I leaped over a wall. … He
makes my feet like hinds’ feet, and sets me upon my high places. He teaches my hands to war, so that a bow of steel is
broken by mine arms. … I have pursued mine enemies, and overtaken them: neither
did I turn again till they were consumed.
Ephesians 4:29-31 Let no corrupt communication proceed out of
your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister
grace unto the hearers. And GRIEVE NOT the Holy
Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption. Let all
bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamor, and evil speaking, be put away
from you, with all malice:
1 Thessalonians
5: 16-23 Rejoice always, pray
continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you
in Christ Jesus. DO NOT QUENCH THE SPIRIT. Despise not prophecies but test them all; hold
on to what is good, reject every kind of evil.
May God himself, the God of peace, sanctify you completely. May your whole spirit,
soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Christ Jesus.

The Warfare Dance
It is good to remember that when a church is first
started, one has to dethrone the prince of the power of the air that has been
on assignment to that location. The struggles a new church will have in getting
started will depend on how deeply entrenched the powers of darkness are in a
location.
The more intercession, praise and worship, warfare,
and binding and loosing that goes on, the quicker the church will experience
victory.
One can really feel the liberty in the service as the
forces of darkness are destroyed. It takes less praise to enter into worship
once the land has been possessed.
With the same principle, the warfare dance can be used
at home to win territory for your loved ones, community, business, school
system, and government in your community, or to intercede for the nation.
Most of the time, the movements used in a warfare
dance are sharp and angular. Examples would be kicks, jumps, punches, lunging,
falling, stabbing, pushing, leaping, turning, clapping, stomping, marching, and
pulling.
As you seek the Lord in choreographing a dance, He
will give you the steps. When it is a spontaneous dance, the Holy Spirit will
dance through you and will create the steps as you go along.
Warfare dance can be used to bring deliverance,
healing, financial breakthrough, ministry breakthrough, and anything else that
is needed.
(Aimee gives her personal testimony)
I use this dance a lot to get breakthroughs for my
family. I dance in my kitchen. (That is my altar of prayer where I meet God.) I
start out by faith. When the anointing
falls, the Holy Spirit gives me songs and words to sing as He brings to my
mind.
I address the powers, principalities, and rulers of
darkness as the Holy Spirit gives me their names. I bind them and command them
to cease their operation. I command them to leave the person, business, or
ministry that I am warring for.
As I am verbally singing or speaking, the Holy Spirit
gives me corresponding hand and feet movements. When the war has been won in
the heavenlies I know it by the joy that comes or by the liberty that comes.

I forgot to tell you this morning that the desire to dance before the Lord comes over me almost every time we are in that time of praise. My body can't do the things my heart desires to do but even though it doesn't look like I'm dancing on the outside, inside there is a glorious dance of praise to Him. Thanks for sharing that with us this morning. Helen
Hi Hazel, such a lovely post. As I read it I imagined it in my head and it was beautiful.
God bless
Tracy
I literally have had that song in my head constantly since Sunday. Break every chain. Kelly
He's told me many times of where and when to do things. I can hardly wait to be in Heaven and I sure want to dance, or worship, or shift some of them around to something else. I count on Him MUCH!!! Thank you for sharing this!
