It is
being recognized in many churches, bible studies and even home
groups and as the Lord reveals himself to his people it will
continue. However we must be very careful not to use dance as a
replacement of studying God's word, nor for something to pacify the
flesh.
Dance
has been a prophetic hidden tool that the enemy have held captive
for years, due to what it can accomplish in the spiritual realm when
applied correctly. David danced before the Lord with all of his
heart, and one can only imagine how the Father felt. (2 Sam. 6:14)Also
in Psalm 149:3 Let them praise His name in the dance. There is a
requirement of God's people to make sure that they are seeking Him
first (the giver) instead of the gift or talent of dancing.
God is
calling an army of dancers across the nation. Future dancers will
know that they have been called to the front line for dance ministry
because they will experience the presence of worshiping God in the
dance and it will be from their personal imitate time with the Lord.
God is
requiring dancers to have a clean and pure heart, as well as some
training and preparation for the task. If we are going to have a
dance department in our churches and in Christian organizations,
there has to be teachings on the subject so we can show forth in the
integrity of Christ.
There
must be trainings from Scripture in order to teach dance as
ministry. Although many are dancing just because they can, there
must be an evaluation of self-will, Gods will, Purpose and motives.
The
call to a true dance ministry will also call for submission; which
means it has to be taught correctly or we will simply have dance
teams just dancing with no order.
I
believe in dancing before the Lord. It has its time and place in our
personal lives as well as corporate worship, but if one is going to
pursue dance as ministry, I would encourage you to seek training
first in order to lay a good foundation.
