YOU SHALL DANCE AGAIN 9/18/10
DAY OF ATONEMENT
ANNA'S PARABLE: Anna called
me today and she had bought a used little end table
cabinet with shelves to sit by her chair. She stained it
and brought the wood back to life again. And much to
her surprise, she found that the lid lifted up and she
discovered it was an old phonograph player. The Lord
brought back to her the childhood memory of dancing to a
record on her old wind up Victrola where she sang, "I
came, I saw, I conga." And I thought she said, "I came,
I saw, I conquered." She immediately related to my
misconception, and said, “Yes! That’s exactly what I
have done!
Jer 31:3-4 NKJV
The Lord has appeared of old to
me, saying: "Yes, I have loved you with an everlasting
love; Therefore with lovingkindness I have drawn you.
Again I will build you, and you shall be rebuilt, O
virgin of Israel! You shall again be adorned with your
tambourines,
And shall go forth in the dances
of those who rejoice.
QUICKENED MEMORY: I was
reminded that I received the following 2 promises this
summer that I would dance before the Lord again. When I
went into the flare, it damaged my mobility and fluidity
to move without pain. I am praying for full recovery.
RHEMA
6/20/10 PRAYED FOR IN REDDING
A lady
that was praying for me heard that I would dance
again. Then another one gave me a poster of her oil
painting of the lovely dancing girl worshipping the Lord
at the beach. Angels surrounded her. She gave me a
golden beaded shawl/ mantle that I have draped over the
picture, like a pair of drapes on a theater. The ocean
represents the seas of humanity, or the nations. I feel
the parable represents my sacrifices in living a
transparent life in the Lord on behalf of the nations
who need to learn how to hear the Lord.
The fact
that this dancing gal is at the beach is very special to
me. I came down with my last massive flare in March of
2008, the day after I drove to the ocean. When I woke I
could hardly walk to the kitchen, the bones on my feet
were hot, inflamed and in crippling pain. That was the
first day of a 2 year long flare that attacked my bones,
tendons, muscles all over my body. I went through the
fire like never before and fought for my life to stay
mobile, cook, open doors and even drive. The flare
broke in January 2010 and I have been regaining my
strength and now losing weight after the years of
prednisone weight gain. I am totally trusting the Lord
that He will bring me complete recovery from all
mobility and life lost during these years.
WORD
FROM A BROTHER 8/09/10
By the
way, one of the GREATEST forms of Worship is DANCING
before ABBA and the Lord JESUS... I see you dancing,
like a Hebrew dance, with a purple scarf around your
neck and like a skilled ballerina.
=======
WOUNDED SHALL DANCE AGAIN 6/13/94
You
became wounded through your intercession and stand. I
will heal you and you will dance with joy. In that day,
others will also be interceding and your burdens will be
much lighter.
“To
appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them
beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the
garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they
might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of
the LORD, that he might be glorified. And they shall
build the old wastes, they shall raise up the former
desolations, and they shall repair the waste cities, the
desolations of many generations.” (Isa 61:3-4 KJV)

A
PORTION OF MY TESTIMONY
Each and
every person on earth goes through suffering. I am of
the opinion that Christians probably go through more
suffering, because they have an enemy that hates Jesus
inside of them. And I believe God uses each and every
thread of our lives for good and for His will and
pleasure. I have known many years of suffering, and in
the natural I recall more suffering than I do pleasure.
However in the spiritual, the Lord has greatly comforted
me and I would not trade my intimacy with Him for days
of dwelling in the tents of the wicked. And, I truly
believe in His great hope and promises of His glory,
which will flood us with the rain of His Presence in
salvations, healings, deliverances, signs and wonders.
Ps
84:6-12 NLT
When
they walk through the Valley of Weeping, it will become
a place of refreshing springs, where pools of blessing
collect after the rains! They will continue to grow
stronger, and each of them will appear before God in
Jerusalem. O LORD God Almighty, hear my prayer.
Listen, O God of Israel. Interlude. O God, look with
favor upon the king, our protector! Have mercy on the
one you have anointed. A single day in your courts is
better than a thousand anywhere else! I would rather be
a gatekeeper in the house of my God than live the good
life in the homes of the wicked. For the LORD God is our
light and protector. He gives us grace and glory. No
good thing will the LORD withhold from those who do what
is right. O LORD Almighty, happy are those who trust in
you.
Outside of
daily sufferings, I have a number of memorial stones
that I have planted as tombstones of deep pits where the
Lord miraculously pulled me out. I would like to share
one of those. In the late 1990's I was suddenly struck
with intense cramping pain that jumped around all over
my body. At the time, I was on the worship team and
loved every moment, for I had finally returned to the
keyboard after many years of it being on the shelf. My
pain spiraled down to where I could no longer carry my
equipment so I had to retire from the team. Then later,
I could no longer dance before the Lord, later than that
I could no longer play the tambourine. Following that,
I lost my ability to clap my hands and tap my feet. I
literally just had to sit in my chair and not move as
others were radically worshipping around me. I died to
my desire of ever playing keyboard again and yielded
each form of worship and expression up to the Lord. I
knew that if I returned, He would resurrect it all as
being His call, desire and anointing and I just left all
the passion I had as my defense to die its death as unto
the Lord. All I could do was sing and not move.
Later in
2001 I had an attack so bad that I became bedridden.
The charlie horse cramps were so bad in my legs, that I
had to have help to the bathroom. Dressing myself was
out of the question. I could not turn over in bed. And
I could not grab onto my sheets and pull them up.
Typing on the computer was obviously impossible.
I knew
turning inward with this would be even worse
devastation, and so I started to sing the Psalms and
pray in tongues. I did that for 3 days and my soul was
kept from despair, while Wayne prayed for 3 days asking
the Lord to give him the faith to pray for me. On the
3rd day Wayne came in to the foot of my bed and held
onto my feet. He interceded, then took authority over
my body and commanded the pain to go in Jesus Name. I
was up and walking around the next day.
Isa
61:1-3 KJV
The
Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath
anointed me to preach GOOD TIDINGS unto the meek; he
hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim
liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison
to them that are bound; To proclaim the acceptable year
of the LORD, and the day of vengeance of our God; to
comfort all that mourn; To appoint unto them that mourn
in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of
joy for mourning, the
garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness;
that they might be called trees of righteousness, the
planting of the LORD, that he might be glorified.
WORD TO PONDER: MY PROMISE IS
THAT YOU SHALL DANCE AGAIN 9/18/10
Oh dear, dear fallen ones. How I
have grieved over the demonic hits you have taken in
your bodies and souls! Yes, I turn everything in your
lives for good but I want you whole again. Times seven,
everything the enemy has stolen from you, shall be
returned to you with joy. The walking wounded shall
dance again. The bedridden and immobile shall leap from
their beds whole and rejoicing in dance! Great shall be
the joy in heaven and earth when My beloved ones are
delivered and made whole once again.
Those who have sown in tears shall
reap in joy. Their tears are seed for sowing and they
shall come once again with great rejoicing, bringing
their bountiful harvest with them. Rejoicing in dance
and song, their laughing feet shall carry them into a
new day.
Jer 31:3-4 NKJV
The Lord has appeared of old to
me, saying: "Yes, I have loved you with an everlasting
love; Therefore with lovingkindness I have drawn you.
Again I will build you, and you shall be rebuilt, O
virgin of Israel! You shall again be adorned with your
tambourines, And shall go forth in the dances
of those who rejoice.
