Healing Dance

Scripture

Psalm 18:29,33-34,37-39,42,50 KJV    29By You I have run through a troop; by my God I have leapt over a wall...33He makes my feet like hind's feet and sets me upon my high places.  34He teaches my hands to war, so that a bow of steel (bronze) is broken by my arms...37I have pursued my enemies and overtaken them; neither did I turn again until they were consumed.  38I have wounded them that they were not able to rise; they are fallen under my feet.  39ForYou have  girded (equipped/armed) me with strength to the battle; You have subdued under me those who rose up against me...42Then did did I beat them small as the dust before the wind;  I did cast them out as the dirt in the streets...
50Great deliverance He gives to His king and shows mercy to His anointed, to David and to his seed (descendants) forevermore.
Psalm 149:3,7-8 KJV    3Let them praise His name in the dance; let them sing praises unto Him with the timbrel and harp...7To execute vengeance upon the heathen and punishments upon the people; 8to bind their kings with chains and their nobles with fetters of iron.

Romans 6:13 KJV    Neither yield your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin; but
yield yourselves unto God, as those who are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God.
Romans 16:20 The God of peace shall bruise Satan under your feet shortly.  The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.  Amen.

Chapter 14 Show God You Trust Him  section Make Yourself Dance  "The joy of the Lord is your strength (Nehemiah 8:1)...
When he (Satan) tries to give me a sad day, I say, 'NO, you don't, in Jesus name.  I don't accept this and I bind you.  You foul spirit of sadness, go from me'...Then...I'll dance before the Lord for 2 or 3 minutes.  Do I FEEL like dancing?  NO!  I FEEL like crying.  You have to MAKE yourself dance before God.  You don't go by FEELINGS, 'for we walk by faith, not by sight' 2nd Corinthians 5:7. 
David danced before the Lord with all his might. (2nd Samuel 6:14). 
Make yourself dance...Then hold up your hands, walk around, and worship God...and bless the name of Jesus by saying, 'I praise You, Jesus. 
I love You, Lord.  I praise You, Jesus.'"

Chapter 3 shares, "I knew I was under heavy attack from the  enemy.  I forced myself to get out of  bed.  I put on some praise music and began to dance before the Lord.  It was a hard thing to do.  Little by little, I started feeling the presence of the spiritual force of joy entering my body.  I started getting so excited about God that my praise turned into worship-.  As I worshiped God, the symptoms left and I experienced divine healing."
Chapter 4 Types and Purposes of Dance in the Church are (1) praise (2) worship (3) warfare (4) celebration (5) travail (6) prophetic (7) triumph (8) evangelistic (9) preparation of hearts to hear and receive the Word of God, plus others.
"My husband and I were separated for 15 months and the Lord had me dance at home to do warfare on his behalf.  Sometimes dancing was the last thing on earth I wanted to do, but that is when I knew I needed to do it the most, because I could feel the oppression around our family.  Now my husband is back."
In addition to warfare dance, there is the dance of travail.  "The dance of travail is a dance of faith where we thank God for the answer to our prayer before the answer is visible.  In this  dance, we proclaim to the principalities of darkness that our God is able to do above and beyond what we ask of Him...One can travail through prayer by speaking the Word and praying in the Spirit.  I have found, however, that travailing in the dance is more joyful and less wearisome...Something happens in the spirit realm when we move.  'Let them praise His name in the dance...to bind...(Psalm 149:3,8)'"

Chapter 3 There's Got to Be More     "We have free entry into God's presence through the blood of Jesus.  We just aren't entering in...During our dancing sessions...we (almost) never consummate the process (and  transition from His anointing into His glory).  The Purpose of the anointing is to help us make the transition from flesh into glory.  One reason we like to linger in the anointing is that it makes the flesh feel good. 
On the other hand, when the glory of God comes, the flesh doesn't feel very comfortable...(Our flesh becomes intimidated and out of control.)  Our flesh is so weakened by His presence that it is unnecessary for man to (dance or to) do anything other than behold Him in His glory.
Chapter 4 Dead Men See His Face   "The Potter of your soul is simply trying to 'soften' you.  He wants to bring you to such a place of tenderness that it doesn't take a hurricane-force wind from Heaven for you to even know that He is present.  He wants you to be so tender that the gentlest breeze from Heaven, the smallest zephyr from His presence, will set your heart a-dancing."

Shoes and Bare Feet  "In this quiet moment of My love, remove your shoes.  With your feet bare before Me, begin to dance.  Dance with Me, little one.  Before the time to return to your shoes, dance in My love.  Truly I shall be dancing with you."
