- P R A I S E is what I do when I want to be close to you.
praise dancing is a ministry. it is body worship. it is a form of expressing God's word/goodness without preaching / singing. It is very unique. It is also a gift that God given me. He has annoited me to be a leader of my church's praise dance ministry. Also to be minister as a soloist. I had no idea that he called me to dance. But , I do and I dance to get out my emotions. Whenever Im feeling down or just low i put on a song and just start to move and eventually it becomes a dance routine. Thats a blessing. & I thank God for it.
the enemy has been really trying to break me down. Especially , with my ministry.& the crazy thing about it is....I've been letting him. I've been really losing confidence in my ministry as well as myself. & I know that its nothing but the enemy but I asked myself, if I know its nothing but Satan why cant i take a stand. Why is it so hard for me to speak life in my ministry against the advesary and be consistant about it? Okay, im a gulity. I havent really been giving God the 100% that he deserves. I've been pushing him aside and picking him at the last minute. & I've been so worried about pleasing people and looking for a compliment , or a " Oh my goodness , sweetheart that dance was so beautiful, I felt it. " Okay , I'll admit I danced to this song Dear God by Smokie Norful and I got it but i didnt feel like it was pleasing to God. I mean there was a point in time where i danced and the Holy Spririt fell all in the church. But then i just realized that God has given ME this gift and before the holy spirit can fall on anyone , it must first fall on me. and the holy spirit doesnt come from me , or the song or the moves it comes from God. so if im paitent and Im obiedient to God. He will come and pour his spirit down on me. Sometimes when I dance I try to imagine that Its no one but me and God in the church and he criticing me and Im trying to please him. The enemy tries to get to me by doing stuff like making it hard for me to find songs i can minister. But, everytime I think about it all , i See is my on stage dancing my heart out to an auditorium of people and not performing but M I N I S T E R I N G so powerfully that everyone broke down and start lifting up praises to God and worshipping him. & I believe that if i stay in God that will happen.
This Saturday my church is having our Saturday Night Live and its a chance for youth to gather and fellowship and worship on a Saturday Night. & I believe that Daughters of Destiny(the dancers & I ) will be dancing so as of now im looking for a powerful song that we can dance to, that will set the atmosphere & start an overflow of worship. Im praying that he will reveal to me the song and the moves which HE SHALL have me to do.
so this is a little prayer
Father God in the name of Jesus . First off i just want to thank you for being the head of my life I want to thank you for sending your son to die on the cross for all of my sins. I thank you so fr seeing favor on my little life. Thank you for making me important to you. Thank you for loving me when noone else did. God I just ask you for forgiveness for all my sins. Intentional and unintentional. God i just ask you to reveal to me a song to do on Saturday Night that would allow me to minister to your children and then i ask you to give me the moves. Put the ideas in my head. God , I believe that you will because you have done before. God im calling out to you , decrease me and increase you. I need you. I've continously tried to do this on my own but i come to the realization that i cant. God, i thank you for this gift. I ask you to annoit me and the rest of the dancers with your amazing grace. God, as of right now i come against anything the enemy is trying to do. I believe you will & i have faith. & if you can use ANYTHING lord you can use me. God im your broken vessel. Enlarge my territory. God, im taking the limits off. Because I know with you all things are possible. So why doubt that you will do it ? God I truly need you. Im ready for you. To focus on you. im yours. you made me and you know everythting about me , you know my heart's desire so i ask that you just touch me. i love you father. in your name i pray
