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.
