How many dances can you think of that the world has? I can think of quite a few. The most famous of these are the Macarena, the hokey pokey, and the funky Chicken. I am going to be totally real here and say that most Christian songs don't make me want to dance, not say that certain songs don't make me want to dance. When I hear a song like Jump by Van Halen gets me to want to jump or when I hear Born in the USA by Bruce Springsteen, it gets me pumped and wanting to dance.
Why don't we as Christians have a dance that we can call our own? Why don't we dance at all in church or in life? And David was dancing before the Lord with all his strength, and David was wearing a linen ephod. 2 Samuel 6:14. Look at this verse and tell me that it doesn't say that David danced.
A lot of people and churches think dancing is of the devil, but I come before you, that that thinking is of the devil because the devil does not want you to dance. The Bible throughout its pages talks about dancing and worshipping. They shall praise His name with dancing; They shall sing praises to Him with tambourine and lyre. Psalms 149:3. When I read this verse, it gets me excited and wanting to stand to my feet and dance. When we dance the devil flees.
So, I say again why can't Christians have our own dance. We need to get off our butts and start dancing because I want it said on my tombstone that I left it all on the table and left nothing. If you're like me, nervous about what others will think, I say practice at home. I say to you not to take this lightly. I believe God loves to see us dance for His kingdom. Let's trample on some toes today and get back what we have lost. Let's go crazy and start a revival in our nation, it all started because we started dancing!!!! What dance is it called; it is unique to each person who dances.
Instead of shaking your butt to some hoochy song that has no value and cannot fill anything in your life, why not dance for Jesus and for His kingdom and glory because that has value. Dancing for God and in His presence is life-changing. I talked about in an earlier message that there was a young man who was disabled and danced in church and he didn't care what people thought because he did not know better. My prayer is to be like him and not know better for in that we forget about what people think and just do it.
I leave you today with this verse and a song it's one I said above (The bible verse not the song)
They shall praise His name with dancing; They shall sing praises to Him with tambourine and lyre. Psalms 149:3
