As I learn more about my Prophetic Gift



As I learn more about my prophetic gift and how it coincides with my dance ministry I always find useful information that helps me in this journey. I am amazed at the things that are happening as dancers begin to go deeper in their walk with God and as they minister in dance. In my opinion, praise dancers not only have the ability or the gift to dance, but they also have other gifts within them. I am noticing that many liturgical dancers have a prophetic gift. This prophetic gift is often used to convey a message as they go forth in dance ministry.  

Either they will see a certain movement that gives a message or they will hear what God is saying and present that message in their dance. 

Here are 7 key questions that will help dancers prepare for ministry:


1. Is it my desire to fulfill my flesh (my selfish needs) or do I desire to fulfill the desire of Christ? This question is very important as liturgical dancers are in front of many, and receive accolades for their ministry. A dancers' ego must not go against the purpose of dance ministry, which is to glory the Heavenly Father through the expression of praise and worship. 



2. How much of me will people see versus how much of Christ and His glory will the people see? If those that are watching you minister cannot see Christ in you as you dance then our human characteristics have gotten in the way of HIS glory. This ought not to happen. 



3. Does my costume or attire bring attention to me, or the Christ in me? This is a good question to ask. I have had the opportunity to dance in the secular world. NO, I wasn't in any music videos; however, I have danced on stage to secular music. I wasn't thinking about praising and worship God. I was totally thinking about getting my choreography correct. My attire did not express the holiness of God. In fact, I wore short dresses most of the time with my arms and back showing. There were other times where I wore a tight body suit that showed everything. My point is, if I was to wear any of these costumes while ministering through dance, I would be sat down. I would not be allowed to dance before that congregation or any other congregation once word got out about my attire. As I danced in the secular arena, my wardrobe was made to fit the choreography and the message of that particular dance. The same goes with liturgical dance. Both male and females must be in modest liturgical dance clothing so that it will not draw lust that unfortunately exist in a lot of people. Here is a tip: men are visual, therefore it is important that women praise dancers take special attention in choosing garments that will not lead the eyes of men to stray on the woman's anatomy. And trust me, they will do it. 



4. Have I really talked to God about what He wants to accomplish through my ministry? If you ever want to know what anyone thinks about your dance ministry ask God. He is the most important person to ask. He will let you know if you have accomplished his purpose in your dance ministry. It is advisable to prayerfully ask for His direction with each choreography or movement and decisions about engagements. . 



5. Does my choreography/movements point to Christ and His message of the gospel? Dance is an unspoken language. You can say so many things through your movement; and if you are not careful you can say the wrong thing. Think about it. What kind of movement would someone do if they were in a club? What kind of movement would someone do if they want to entice someone? What kind of movement would someone do if they were worshiping the Almighty God? Choreography has the power to bring you into praise and lead you into sin. Your choreography is body language so watch what you say. 



6. Am I free enough for the Holy Spirit to consume me, so that the anointing will come forth to destroy the yoke off others? Being free to dance is about the absence of fear of failure, fear of people watching you, fear of man, and fear of letting go. It is also about the absence of anything that will hinder your spiritual walk. The Holy Spirit cannot dwell in an unclean vessel; therefore, in order for Him to consume you, you must be consecrated.



7. Is the anointing on my gift strong enough to break yokes, and get people freed, healed, and delivered? This type of anointing can happen as quickly or slowly as you like. What I mean is the sooner you surrender everything to the Lord, the faster he will entrust you with the anointing to be able to see these types of manifestations.

To the Anointed by God, To work in the Kingdom of God


To the Anoited by God, To work in the Kingdom of God

The enemy is only attracted to FULLY ANOINTED VESSELS, he usually ignores empty ones.But remember with God on your side, nobody can stop you! People will judge you, and condemn your words... your actions are never fairly measured out, your feelings and yes, even your motives are taken out of character, but God who knowns your heart and your ways, and will never judge you according to man's thoughts or comments. But, He will step in to make intercessions for them who sincerely desired to please Him, and walk according to His will and serve His Son Jesus Christ

A TRUE WORSHIPER:trials & tribulations No.1



In the eyes of a Dancer

(Words of Encouragement) The higher you get in God, the deeper, the closer, the more intimate you are with God, it seems like the more you worship and praise God.The more the enemy throws at you! The devil knows if he can distract you , he can get your mind off praising God.(The devil is a LIAR)But I dare you to keep your mind on God! Continue to pray, sometimes it takes us to fast,seek the face of the Lord daily.No matter what comes your way, do what God asks you to do. Have that obedient spirit, no matter how much YOU think it can't be done by SELF,If God said it, then it can be done! God has put it in you for a reason,he has equip you for the purpose. BELIEVE in the WORD of the LORD, God is the truth. Use your faith, FAITH can get you a long way in life. REMEMBER Abram,before God changed his name to Abraham(Genesis 17:3-5).  Genesis 12:1-3 is The PROMISE, but Abraham had to make up in his mind(THE CHOICE) that he was going to STAND on the WORD of the LORD.(Genesis 12:4) He did not look at his current state, but he walked by FAITH and NOT BY SIGHT. Looking pass what your going through right now, walking in Faith believing the Word of God.Praising your way out of the situation, activates the THE PROMISE, THE WORD spoken over your life! So my sister, my brother be encouraged! God has not forgotten about you, it's only a TEST! With God you can pass it, only BELIEVE and you will RECEIVE! You can't have a TESTIMONY without a TEST! God loves you,be blessed!

FAITH- Daily Bread

 
 
 
Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

  • Exodus 15:19-21
For the horse of Pharaoh went in with his chariots and with his horsemen into the
sea, and the LORD brought again the waters of the sea upon them; but the children of Israel went on dry land in the midst of the sea. And Miriam the prophetess, the sister of Aaron, took a timbrel in her hand; and all the women went out after her with timbrels and with dances. And Miriam answered them, Sing ye to the LORD, for he hathtriumphed gloriously; the horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea.

Peace in the middle of the storm

God's Peace in the middle of it all(Psalm 46:10)Psalm 46:10 Be still and know that I am God helps me through this Christian walk. God will give you peace, real PEACE in the midst of any trial or tribulation. In the midst of your storm God(the Holy Spirit) will bring comfort to you when you feel like giving up(throwing in the towel). God will use scripture, an individual(words of encouragement) through a pastor's sermon. When you fast,pray, and trust God he will bring you through your troubles.
