Building The Army of God Through Prophetic Dance

Building The Army of God

Through Prophetic Dance

Dance, dance, dear Shulammite, Angel-Princess! Dance, and we’ll feast our eyes on your grace! Everyone wants to see the Shulammite dance her victory dances of love and peace.

(So 6:13 – The Message)

Prophetic Dance

Prophetic comes from the word “prophet”. A prophet is someone who listens to God and catches God’s heart and delivers the Word of God to many people. This is the same with prophetic dance. Through prophetic dance, we deliver God’s words and God’s heart through dance. Thus, a prophetic dance has to come out of our relationship and knowledge of God, as well as our obedience to the leading of The Holy Spirit.

But the Counselor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you                                          (John 14:26 NIV)

There is power that flows when we are dancing the prophetic dance because we are not doing an empty dance that has no meaning but we are delivering God’s words.

For the word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.           

(Hebrews 4:12 NIV)

Prophetic dance is a life. We will experience walking with God through every dance that we do. The Words delivered through the dance will purify our lives too as a dancer, separating our fleshly desires with the spiritual desires in our lives.

The Expression of Worship 

Dance is one of our worship expressions to God and each prophetic dance is born out of our relationship with God and our knowledge of Him.  For example, raising our hands in worship is our expression of praise and worship to God. However, it is not only that but it is also an expression of a child who wants to be held by The Father. When we spin, we are like teenagers in the large park who find beauty, freedom, liberty, and openness and we can say thank you to God for His truth that sets us free and His sacrifice that frees us from the curses of sin.  Other expressions of worship are our honor to God as A King in our lives, our demonstration of love and our surrender to God.

The Word of God said that The Father is seeking for the true worshippers who worship Him in spirit and in truth.

Word Becomes Flesh

God wants to express Himself to us and one of His expressions is through dancing.

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the One and Only, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.

(John 1: 1,14 NIV)

How does God reveal Himself to us? Through His Words. And how does He reveal Himself to the world? Through His Words that has become flesh. Through prophetic dances, we are turning The Word into flesh.

When we are doing the prophetic dance, something is happening in the spiritual realm and at one time, it will become flesh. In the mid year of 2007, we did prophetic dance in Semarang, Indonesia in which each profession and tribes were represented in the dance to bring them to repentance.

Hence, in the dance, there were doctors, merchants, musicians, farmers, sorcerers, etc.

One month after the dance, we received news that a sorcerer in Semarang repented and received Jesus as His personal Lord and Saviour. Since then, we learn to dance every dance with all our hearts and with faith because we know that The Word has become flesh. 

Called as a Dancer

The calling as a dancer is a very precious calling. Everytime we dance, every cell in our bodies is worshipping and exalting God. The word of God says that He is looking for worshippers who worship the Father in spirit and in truth. Thus, when we dance, let us give our body as an offering to God, worshipping God with all our hearts, our strength, and our whole lives until every cell in us moves to worship God.

Let our every dance led by the Holy Spirit who lives in us. A prophetic dance should be born out of our obedience in carrying out the Word that God has put in our hearts as a rhema. This Word will then be expressed through a dance.

The calling to be a dancer does not limited by age, gender, or marriage status. Whoever and whatever age you are, whether you are married or not, and whether you have children or not, both men and women, you can dance and give your best to God. Examples in the bible are Miriam and David.

The calling as dancers is an eternal calling. When we come before God in heaven, we will still be dancing for God. Therefore, let God work on a lot of things in our lives to purify and to equip us, to make us more beautiful in His sight. When God pressurizes us, may sweetness and thankfulness be the ones that come out of our lives.

The calling as a dancer is to worship, to fall prostate, to dance and to jump before The Lord. Our dance is not for performance sake or to be complimented by people. Let us always wear the robe of servant’s heart and humbleness, bringing all the praise, honor, and glory to Jesus, our lover, Father, God and King.

How to be the dancer of God

Accepting Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior  

That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved.                             

(Romans 10:9-10 NIV)

We dance because we love God. We appreciate Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross that has brought us to salvation and eternal life. Let through our dance, many souls receive salvation.

I want to know Christ and the power of his resurrection and the fellowship of sharing in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death,

(Philippians 3:10 NIV)

Filled by the Holy Spirit

"I baptize you with water for repentance. But after me will come one who is more powerful than I, whose sandals I am not fit to carry. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire.”

 (Matthew 3:11 NIV)

When we dance, we are doing a prophetic action. The Holy Spirit are the One who is going to teach us how to do the prophetic actions, formations, or the strategies that are in God’s heart. Thus, let us learn to listen to God’s voice and capture His heart.

But the Counselor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you.                                         

(John 14:26 NIV)

Ask The Holy Spirit to give us the Spirit of understanding, so that our dance can be exactly what the Lord wants.

Have an intimate relationship with The Lord        

Let every dance comes out of our intimacy with God. The source of our every dance is God. Thus, let the reading of God’s Word and praying be a vital part of our lives. Give time to enter into God’s presence through our personal dance in order to please God’s heart.

Take me away with you--let us hurry! Let the king bring me into his chambers. Friends. We rejoice and delight in you we will praise your love more than wine. Beloved. How right they are to adore you!                                          (Song of songs 1:4 NIV)

Friends. Who is this that appears like the dawn, fair as the moon, bright as the sun, majestic as the stars in procession?

(Song of songs 6:10 NIV)

Friends. Come back, come back, O Shulammite; come back, come back, that we may gaze on you! Lover. Why would you gaze on the Shulammite as on the dance of Mahanaim?

(Song of songs 6:13 NIV)

The Song of Songs is a book of intimacy that describes how God loves us and how we praise His love that is more than wine. We, as His bride, described as the army with banners and warrior dance.

Live in Holiness

Dance is a ministry that utilizes the body to worship God. Therefore, we have to live in holiness, in our spirit, soul and body.

Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God-- this is your spiritual act of worship.

 (Romans 12:1 NIV)

Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own;

(1 Chorinthians 6:19 NIV)

Ascribe to the LORD the glory due his name. Bring an offering and come before him; worship the LORD in the splendor of his holiness.

 (1 Chronicles 16:29 NIV)

Healed from Inner Wound

There is a spirit that comes out of each dance. Whichever type of dance we are doing will bring out a certain spirit. For example: Breakdance brings out the rebellious spirit, the traditional dance from Indonesia called jaipong exerts adulterous spirit, and hip-hop dance brings out the ignorant and reckless spirits.

The spirit in a dance comes out of its dancer. If we dance with bitterness and anger in our hearts, what comes out of us is the spirit of rebellion and hatred. Thus, let us choose to release forgiveness, to let go of the anger, revenge and bitter heart. Allow God’s love to heal our hearts so that we can dance with the right spirit, which will distribute holiness, righteousness, love, joy, gentleness and strength to wage war.

Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you.

 (Colossians 3:13 NIV)                                             

A Disciple’s heart

As a dancer, we have to have a disciple’s heart who

always want to learn and to listen to teachings, until our dances can lift up the spirit of the weary.

The Sovereign LORD has given me an instructed tongue, to know the word that sustains the weary. He wakens me morning by morning, wakens my ear to listen like one being taught.                                                                    

(Isaiah 50:4 NIV)

It is also said that God will sharpened our ears. Let us be sharper in hearing God’s voice. Because He is our Teacher, Shepherd, Father, Lover, Friend, King and our Commander.

Servant’s heart and humbleness

Dance is a very visible ministry that is always watched by people. This makes this ministry often received compliments from people. Let our hearts not fixed on people’s compliments, which could make us fall into the sin of pride. Remember what happened to Lucifer, he was the angel of praise and worship in heaven but God threw him away because of his pride (Ezekiel 28:12-19). Thus, let us overcome haughtiness with servant’s heart and humility.  

Submit to your leaders

A team usually has a leader. The leadership that Jesus taught is the servanthood leadership. This is the same with dance. If the dance leader set an example of serving each other then the whole team will try to serve each other as well so that there will be a bond of love and beautiful unity.

But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant.

(Matthew 23:11 ASV)

Learn to obey and submit to your leaders because they are the ones who will be on guard and will be responsible for our souls.

Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit to them: for they watch in behalf of your souls, as they that shall give account; that they may do this with joy, and not with grief: for this were unprofitable for you.                         (Hebrews 13:17)

Dance with heart and passion

With the length of time, our dance can merely be a routine. However, God is longing for a dance that is born from our hearts that love God and a heart that is full of passion of the Holy Spirit fire. He is longing for a dance that comes out of our love for God. A lot of times, God brings us to broken-heartened experiences so that He can sow a seed of compassion in us.

Hang my locket around your neck, wear my ring on your finger. Love is invincible facing danger and death. Passion laughs at the terrors of hell. The fire of love stops at nothing—it sweeps everything before it.

(So 8:6 The Message)

God longs for us to dance with our “first love” to Him. The first love can make us hang on to the situation although we are facing danger or death per se. Passion laughs at the terrors of hell. The terrors might say that we are undeserved to dance or we are not beautiful enough to dance. When that happened, passion will make us laugh at all of those terrors and we will keep dancing until there is revival in Indonesia and all Nations. Until there are dancing in the streets.

If we have the burning fire of love, any challenges that come our way would never make us stop dancing.  

Dancing Before God with All Our Strengths

12 And it was told king David, saying, Jehovah hath blessed the house of Obed- edom, and all that pertaineth unto him, because of the ark of God. And David went and brought up the ark of God from the house of Obed- edom into the city of David with joy. 13 And it was so, that, when they that bare the ark of Jehovah had gone six paces, he sacrificed an ox and a fatling. 14 And David danced before Jehovah with all his might; and David was girded with a linen ephod. 15 So David and all the house of Israel brought up the ark of Jehovah with shouting, and with the sound of the trumpet. 16 And it was so, as the ark of Jehovah came into the city of David, that Michal the daughter of Saul looked out at the window, and saw king David leaping and dancing before Jehovah; and she despised him in her heart.

17 And they brought in the ark of Jehovah, and set it in its place, in the midst of the tent that David had pitched for it; and David offered burnt- offerings and peace- offerings before Jehovah. 18 And when David had made an end of offering the burnt- offering and the peace- offerings, he blessed the people in the name of Jehovah of hosts. 19 And he dealt among all the people, even among the whole multitude of Israel, both to men and women, to every one a cake of bread, and a portion of flesh, and a cake of raisins. So all the people departed every one to his house.

20 Then David returned to bless his household. And Michal the daughter of Saul came out to meet David, and said, How glorious was the king of Israel to- day, who uncovered himself to- day in the eyes of the handmaids of his servants, as one of the vain fellows shamelessly uncovereth himself! 21 And David said unto Michal, It was before Jehovah, who chose me above thy father, and above all his house, to appoint me prince over the people of Jehovah, over Israel: therefore will I play before Jehovah. 22 And I will be yet more vile than this, and will be base in mine own sight: but of the handmaids of whom thou hast spoken, of them shall I be had in honor. 23 And Michal the daughter of Saul had no child unto the day of her death.

(2 Samuel 6:12-23 ASV)

David danced before God. David honored God very much and he knew who he is before God so that he bravely undignified himself and danced with all his might before God. Just as David who danced to bring God’s Ark to the City of David, when we are dancing before the Lord, we are inviting God’s presence to come down.  

Our calling is to dance before The Lord a dance that invites His presence.

It is said that David danced with all his might. This showed his love and honor to God. He loved the Lord with all his might, his soul and his mind and he displayed it through dancing.

David was not just outrageous in dancing but he was also outrageous in giving sacrifices to God. In every sixth step, he offered a calf and a fattened calf. His dancing goes together with his offerings. Similarly, in our lives as dancers, God wants sacrifices and offerings in our every step, until the glory of God comes down. The sacrifices can be our worldly pleasures that we know we need to leave behind, haughty, anger, shame of dancing and whatever God would want us to lay down.

Unfortunately, Mikhal never understood God’s heart so that she underestimated the dances and sacrifices. The bible noted that she did not have any child until her death. Let us learn to understand God’s heart and pleasure and let every dance of ours birthing movements and revivals for Indonesia and the world, bringing souls to worship and know God.

Discipline in Dancing

25 But hold fast what you have till I come. 26 And he who overcomes, and keeps My works until the end, to him I will give power over the nations—27 ‘He shall rule them with a rod of iron; They shall be dashed to pieces like the potter’s vessels’ as I also have received from My Father; 28 and I will give him the morning star.                                                 

 (Revelation 2:25-28 NKJV)

Dance is a God-given talent and grace in our lives. God wants us to stay faithful until His second coming on earth. In a dance, sometimes there is a price to pay and discipline is one of them.

Discipline in our personal devotion time and bible reading time. These are the times that make our lives filled with the truth and the love of God. This is the time to learn to know His heart and taste. The Holy Spirit will teach us a lot of things including rebuking us of every mistake that we realise or not.

Discipline in team meetings. We can do our individual dance before God. However, to make a prophetic dance, we need partners and friends. Therefore, it is important to have a praying time and chatting time together as a team. These will be the time where we as a team become united in spirit so that our knowledge of each other will grow and will be able create a dance together with a solid unity.

   

Discipline in training. Let us train our body to give the best to God. Sometimes we have to sacrifice time and energy, pleasure, and personal agenda to give us time to practice. Train your body to become more flexible. Practice with your team so that your movements and body language will be in one rhythm. By His grace we will give our best to God.

The Impact and Power of Dancing

The impact of dancing is amazing. When our dances bring a strong presence of the Lord, the sick will be healed, the wounded heart will be restored, the sinner repents and returns to God. The anointed prophetic dance is able to withstand natural disasters.

In the beginning, the universe moves in the rhythm of God that came from heaven. However, when satan/Lucifer was cast down to earth, he messed with the rhythms of heaven and that is why there are storms, floods, earthquake, and other disasters on earth.  Let us learn to capture the heart of God in every dance we do so that every music and dance will be in one rhythm with heaven and in tune with God’s heart so that we can stop the rhythms that have been messed up by the devil. Let us create a dance with precision and sharpness. Creating a dance, which will withstand and minimize the disaster and tribulations.

2 It is like precious oil poured on the head, running down on the beard, running down on Aaron’s beard, down on the collar of his robe.

5. The Dance of Harvest

The dance of harvest is a prophetic dance that we do to harvest souls and the wealth that God has provided. In this dance, we are representing workers who are working in the harvesting field and we are asking for more workers to finish riping the harvest. The time is short. If we do not immediately harvest it, it will be rotten.

He told them, "The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field.                                                       (Luke 10:2 NIV)

Then another angel came out of the temple and called in a loud voice to him who was sitting on the cloud, "Take your sickle and reap, because the time to reap has come, for the harvest of the earth is ripe."                                         

(Revelation 14:15 NIV)

  wheats, gold bar (the harvest symbol)

Major colors   : Yellow (for the harvests), red-orange-

6. The Cherubim Dance

The Cherubim Dance is a symbol of intimacy with God and a symbol of inviting God’s presence.

 After he drove the man out, he placed on the east side of the Garden of Eden cherubim and a flaming sword flashing back and forth to guard thway to the tree of life.

            (Genesis 3:24 NIV)

A cherub is an envoy or special messenger of God. A calling to be a cherub is a calling to bring God’s presence down. It is said that a cherub has a flaming and blazing sword, which are God’s words, Holy Spirit fire, the amazing power, the great awakening and a passionate love.

A cherub’s job is to guard the way to the tree of life. As cherubs, we have the authority to bring and escort as many people as possible to God and to bring the fruits of life to those who need them.

And make two cherubim out of hammered gold at the ends of the cover.                   (Exodus 25:18 NIV)

It is said that a cherub is made from gold and beaten gold. To be a cherub, there is a price to pay and a certain standard. God wants our lives to shine as pure gold. Gold can absorb anything in its surroundings, including gases and dirts. Gold is being pured when it went through a burning process. When it is heated, the gas that pollutes it will evaporate and the soils will be separated. Let us allow God to separate every anger, envy, hatred and whatever that has polluted our lives. Moreover, even until a certain boiling point, silver too has to be separated from gold so that this gold can be a pure gold. When a gold is pure, it can be used as a mirror that reflect us very clearly. Similarly, when our lives become a pure gold, it can reflect the vision, heart, and the will of God clearly.

Let’s consume and absorb what God has provided us, take what He has given us.

Make one cherub on one end and the second cherub on the other; make the cherubim of one piece with the cover, at the two ends.

(Exodus 25:19 NIV)

Cherub never works alone; they always need their friends and families. This symbolizes unity. One of the cherub positions is when their heads meet. This means they exchange opinions and complete each other. Their arms embrace each other as a sign that cherub will strengthen each other. Also, their legs meet together symbolizing that they hold each other up. The strength that comes from unity will make the blessings poured out.

Cherub is also placed in the peace cover, which means cherub has a calling to be an intercession priest.

The cherubim are to have their wings spread upward, overshadowing the cover with them. The cherubim are to face each other, looking toward the cover.                                        (Exodus 25:20 NIV)

Wings are the strength God gave in us. It is the strength that lifts us up. God wants to cultivate every talent that God gave us. Cherub is God’s elite army. There is a certain price to pay, a certain standard, as well as hard work. Do not be weary and never stop cultivating what God has enstrusted us with.

There, above the cover between the two cherubim that are over the ark of the Testimony, I will meet with you and give you all my commands for the Israelites                                         (Exodus 25:22 NIV)

As cherub we also have callings to be intimate and to be close to God. It will be very easy for us to enter into the presence of God.

He mounted the cherubim and flew; he soared on the wings of the wind.

 (2 Samuel 22:11 NIV)

Cherub is God’s vehicle. God wants us to be His vehicles that will always be ready when God needs us. We are the ones who should be waiting for His commands, not the other way around. It is not God who is supposed to wait for us because we are not in the mood at that moment. We are not ordinary vehicle but we are a moving transport with a high speed, breaking through every dark cloud that is before us.   

Property          : Wings of Cherubim, White shawl or

   gold

Major colors   : White and gold

7. The Dance of Victory

After Moses led the Israelites out of Egypt and crossed over the red sea with the help of God, Myriam led the

Israelite women in a dance of victory.

19 When Pharaoh’s horses, chariots and horsemen went into the sea, the Lord brought the waters of the sea back over them, but the Israelites walked through the sea on dry ground. 20 Then Miriam the prophet, Aaron’s sister, took a timbrel in her hand, and all the women followed her, with timbrels and dancing. 21 Miriam sang to them: “Sing to the Lord, for he is highly exalted. Both horse and driver he has hurled into the sea.”

(Exodus15:19-21 NIV)

The dance of victory is a dance that exalts God’s name because He is the one who gives us victory in the battle. The focus is God who gives us victory not in the victory itself. It is not for human soul’s satisfaction but to exalt God’s name because He deserves it.

Property          : Tambourine, twirling, banner

Major colors   : Red, yellow, green, blue

8. The Dance of War

The dance of war is the dance for binding the dark forces, casting away the evil spirits, building walls, occupying cities, beating the enemies, pushing back the opponents, and turning over the situation.

Come back, come back, O Shulammite; come back, come back, that we may gaze on you! Why would you gaze on the Shulammite as on the dance of Mahanaim?                          (Song of songs 6:13 NIV)

The Lord is a warrior; the Lord is his name.

 (Exodus15:3 NIV)

In a spiritual warfare, we are using weapons. Th eweapons that God gives us are not the weapons of the world but the weapons that have divine power to demolish strongholds.

The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds.    (2 Corinthians 10:4 NIV)

Our body is the weapon of righteousness.

Do not offer any part of yourself to sin as an instrument of wickedness, but rather offer yourselves to God as those who have been brought from death to life; and offer every part of yourself to him as an instrument of righteousness.                             

(Romans 6:13 NIV)

Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand.                                      (Ephesians 6:11,13 NIV)

Dancing For Indonesia

10 Sing to the Lord a new song, his praise from the ends of the earth, you who go down to the sea, and all that is in it, you islands, and all who live in them.

11 Let the wilderness and its towns raise their voices; let the settlements where Kedar lives rejoice. Let the people of Sela sing for joy; let them shout from the mountaintops.

12 Let them give glory to the Lord and proclaim his praise in the islands.                                               

(Isaiah 42:10-12 NIV)

This is the time for all the tributes of praise to God to come out of Indonesia. It is prophesied that form the ends of the earth with its islands, towns, villages, namely Indonesia, will praise the Lord. Every region and province in Indonesia has dances that can invite the powers of darkness. This shows that dancing overpowers the spiritual realm in Indonesia. Therefore, as God's dancers in Indonesia, let us give the best dance to God so that God's presence descends upon Indonesia and so that we can turn the situation around and Indonesia will be filled with dances from Heaven, filled with war dances which clears the atmosphere in Indonesia. Music and dancing in the streets all over Indonesia.

 “At that time Michael, the great prince who protects your people, will arise. There will be a time of distress such as has not happened from the beginning of nations until then. But at that time your people—everyone whose name is found written in the book—will be delivered. 2 Multitudes who sleep in the dust of the earth will awake: some to everlasting life, others to shame and everlasting contempt. 3 Those who are wise will shine like the brightness of the heavens, and those who lead many to righteousness, like the stars for ever and ever.                                (Daniel 12:1-3 NIV)

Currently, Indonesia is in the valley of decision. It is said in Daniel 12:1 that there will a great distress. But Michael will arise. The name Michael means to absorb from God and to do everything precisely according to God’s will. This means that a generation that seriously capture from God and do it accordingly in precision will be awakened. It is the time for us to be awakened as the Michael Generation who dance and pray for Indonesia.

God promised that when the Michael Generation arises, our nation will be delivered from the great distress. At that time, revival will swipe across this country and we will be dancing in the streets. People will look for God and when we dance, the sick will be healed, broken families will be restored, souls will come to God and repent, children will return to their Father and Father will return to their children.

Let us arise and be the Michael Generation who stands for Indonesia, A generation who walks in the power of God, who has the flaming spirit, who runs in God’s rhythm, who goes to battle against the devil and seizing the towns and islands for God until His glory fills Indonesia.

Later, verse 2 and 3 prophesied about the rapture at Jesus’s second coming. God will come and take His brides, His armies and His soilders who have finished their tasks. They are the people who cultivate every talent that God has given them. The wise girls who have oil (anointing) in their lives, and the wise girls who guide many people to the truth.

Therefore, let us prepare ourselves and share about God’s second coming through the prophetic dances that God has put in our hearts so that more and more people who hears them will believe. Let us stand and pray for Indonesia through the prophetic dances that God has revealed to our hearts. Let us dance with love and precision! Maranatha!
