Learn to dance without ever taking lessons. It’s possible, you know.
A few ladies and I met at the church today to pray and worship in preparation for the Sunday service. We are believing God for miracles of healing. So we went into the sanctuary, put on some worship CD’s and just followed the leading of the Holy Spirit.
I began to move with how I felt the Holy Spirit direct me and began to dance. I have not felt like a capable dancer since I was about 10 years old and I only had one session of dance lessons – my husband and I took lessons before we got married so we could dazzle everyone for our first dance. I’m not sure if anyone was dazzled, but a friend said he could see me counting.
Anyway, as the Holy Spirit carried me through the sanctuary, I moved with confidence and grace that seemed to come from my very core. There were times of more intensity and the moves were like grabbing air and pulling things down.
I began to realize that this was not just dance, and it was not just worship, but I was interceding with my whole body. I didn’t know exactly what I was interceding for but I knew it was just what God wanted. I felt the anointing and at moments it was hard to stand.
I have heard people refer to the flags and dance as “the arts” and I guess there is truth to that. But what I felt today was that this is not about art so much as it is about God expressing Himself through His people in so many ways. Not everyone may dance, but they may sing or shout. Whatever they do, God puts us all together and speaks His will and way over all people.
I felt the passion of God in my being today as He used me to pray for someone or something. And now my passion is greater and so is my faith.
