Our DANCE class

 

Psalm 149:3-4

King James Version

3 Let them praise his name in the dance: 

let them sing praises unto him 

with the timbrel and harp.

4 For the Lord taketh pleasure in his people: 

he will beautify the meek with salvation.

WELCOME to our dance "class"!

Wherein we dance for the LORD.

We dance to thank Him for the life given us.

We dance for His glory.

We move, in appreciation of the abilities He gave us.

That we're able to move at all.

That we have childlike hearts in our soul.

That we're not robot-like, but child-like.

We dance, not for money, but for GOD.

We dance for the pure joy of it.

Not checking if we have the right gear.

Not concerned if we're "trending".

Not showing off on social media.

Not trying to outdo each other.

Not trying to seduce.

We dance for GOD.

We dance for each other.

We dance for self.

We all have a SONG in our hearts.

We all have a rhythm GOD gave us.

That's the beat of the drum given us.

Perfectly attuned for GOD's purpose.

That song, and rhythm, is not only for dance.

It's the song and rhythm, for your life, and work.

It's the beat, pace, and pulse GOD gave you.

Surely, you feel that in your heart.

Children hear a song, and they dance.

They don't care if their moves are right.

Although adults tend to teach them their moves.

Would be better if you just watch your child move.

And see the beat, pace, and pulse GOD gave them.

I'm all for preserving the "song" GOD gave each one of us.

Originally.

That's the KEY word.

As it is, we are creating many wounded children.

Because we are wounded adults.

Let's not do that to the children.

They trust us.

Let's not do that to each other.

Respect GOD' gift in each one.

Let's not project ourselves onto others.

Better we focus on the beat, pace, and pulse GOD gave us.

That we may live, love, and work as GOD would have us.

You watch.

It will be a different world.

Especially if GOD makes you born again.

You will be taught by SPIRIT.

You will know JESUS' commands.

You will love GOD, above all.

Once born again, nothing is for self anymore.

There will be no greed, pride, vanity, lust, or desire for power.

Everything will be for GOD.

Everything will be for others.

You take the back seat, as GOD takes the front seat.

He's got a throne, you know.

JESUS stands beside Him.

At GOD's right hand.

And all of us?

We worship at Their feet.

For, without GOD, we wouldn't exist.

Without JESUS, we wouldn't know what pleases GOD.

Without SPIRIT, we wouldn't have a chance to dance.

SPIRIT gives us that ability to dance.

Job 33:4

King James Version

4 The spirit of God hath made me, 

and the breath of the Almighty 

hath given me life.

Such is our dance "class".

It's a class beyond worldly definitions.

It's allowing the child in us to move, as GOD created us to move.

Our bodies are the TEMPLE of the HOLY SPIRIT.

How could anyone, then, ever think of defiling that body?

How could anyone ever manipulate our gifts?

How could anyone ever corrupt any child?

Our bodies are for GOD.

1 Corinthians 6:13

King James Version

13 Meats for the belly, and the belly for meats: 

but God shall destroy both it and them. 

Now the body is not for fornication, but for the Lord; 

and the Lord for the body.

1 Corinthians 6:15

King James Version

15 Know ye not that your bodies 

are the members of Christ? 

shall I then take the members of Christ, 

and make them the members of an harlot? 

God forbid.

1 Corinthians 6:18

King James Version

18 Flee fornication. 

Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; 

but he that committeth fornication 

sinneth against his own body.

1 Corinthians 6:19

King James Version

19 What? 

know ye not that your body 

is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, 

which ye have of God, 

and ye are not your own?

1 Corinthians 6:20

King James Version

20 For ye are bought with a price: 

therefore glorify God in your body, 

and in your spirit, which are God's.

We dance for GOD.

That's the intention of our dance "classes".

That all "dance" honors His Son, JESUS.

Who gave us LIFE, LOVE, and LIGHT.

Who is the WAY to all righteousness.

Who prayed for GOD's SPIRIT to be in us.

That we may remember His teachings.

Which honors GOD alone.

JESUS is the Song we dance with.

PURE in HEART

 

Matthew 21:16

King James Version

16 And said unto him, 

Hearest thou what these say? 

And Jesus saith unto them, 

Yea; have ye never read, 

Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings 

thou hast perfected praise?

Lovely, lovely day!

THREE articles in one day.

All delightful to work on.

From a dream, an article:

"Dreaming of GRASSHOPPERS"

From that article, another article:

"THINGS are CLEAR"

Going back to that dream article, this article you're reading now:

"PURE in HEART"

Three articles in barely a day.

Some days, SPIRIT makes me write up to eight.

But today, was quite fun.

Only because I finally found answers to many questions.

One, that nagged me for months.

This kind of simple joys happen when you're born again.

You know when SPIRIT leads you to something.

We're like a couple of sleuths.

A team.

Or, at least, He allows me to be a "sleuth".

The MOST FUN TEAM ever!

He knows I won't stop, till I've found answers.

And followed, and completed, His lead.

Thus, He gives me TONS of ideas.

LOTS of clues.

PERSISTENT prompts.

And DELIGHTFUL answers.

Who am I to resist such fun work?

If you're like me, you'd enjoy working with SPIRIT.

You can't have enough of Scripture.

Just when you think you know something, SPIRIT gives you more.

And you just keep marveling at the richness of GOD's WORD.

How everything must be cherished, and meditated upon.

Everything is precious in Scripture.

Make time to know GOD's story.

He made me rest yesterday, a Saturday.

But today, wow, THREE beautiful articles to share with you!

That's why I love being childlike with JESUS.

No matter how ancient I am, my heart remains young.

Never jaded, never morose, never depressed.

Or, at least, since GOD made me born again 52 months ago.

As of yesterday.

If I'm precise, it's because I want to keep track of my progress.

I want to tell you my story as born again.

Remembering every detail.

Because it's really fun!

I mean, how else are stories woven?

Except through detail?

Also, a childlike heart tends to ask TONS of questions.

We only stop when we hear a "TING!"

And we know we've been supplied the answer.

In GOD's world, the answers have always been there.

It's up to the childlike human to find it.

Surely, GOD enjoys witnessing us discover His treasures.

What is a child, but a persistent creature?

What is a child, but a curious one?

What is a child, but a happy kid?

Never lose that trait in you.

The world may be jaded, but don't be.

Be the pearl that GOD made you.

JESUS did say:

Matthew 7:6

King James Version

6 Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, 

neither cast ye your pearls before swine, 

lest they trample them under their feet, 

and turn again and rend you.

That's how I thought we're like "pearls".

We give out pearls, from GOD.

Only a born again, with a childlike heart, can really, truly, wholly appreciate GOD.

Precisely why JESUS says:

Matthew 5:8

King James Version

8 Blessed are the pure in heart: 

for they shall see God.

Matthew 18:3

King James Version

3 And said, 

Verily I say unto you, 

Except ye be converted, 

and become as little children, 

ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.

Matthew 18:4

King James Version

4 Whosoever therefore 

shall humble himself as this little child, 

the same is greatest 

in the kingdom of heaven.

There's nothing like being born again.

There's nothing like being childlike.

There's nothing like JESUS.

Amen.
