His Beauty is Amazing




Beautiful, Handsome, Pretty, Fine, Dime, Gorgeous and so on………
These are just a few words that are used to describe someone that is attractive. Have you ever thought about or seen the Beauty of God before? I did, last night. Remember, when Moses was in the presence of God and although He could not see His face, just being in His presence made Moses have a Radiant face. So much that He had to wear a veil as he went back down to share with the children of Israel, what the Lord revealed to Him.

Last night I saw a piece of a picture of God’s beauty, it’s hard to explain in words. Hollywood, the media and music and even ourselves, we have commercialized beauty. We know what natural beauty is (in the natural) and God does manifest His beauty here on earth, but God’s beauty is FAR beyond the here and now that we see. It’s like I could feel it and see it at the same time. I’m convinced that God is a master artist. He has made everything beautiful in it’s time. A perfect picture painted on His canvas.

What the world may see as messy or not perfect, is God’s perfect masterpiece.
Jesus is the greatest example of this. His ministry was not what the “world” would see as glamorous. Many where plotting to kill Him from the time He started His ministry, He had no home to lay His head, and calvary He was beaten, stripped, spat on, and I could go on. But this was God’s masterpiece.

There is a song that Kim Walker and Jesus Culture sings called “He loves us”. To some, the lyrics may seem really strong, but to me it shows the beauty of God’s love and how even when things in our lives seem messy and unpretty, when we remain in Him, He is creating a beautiful masterpiece:

He is jealous for me
Love's like a hurricane,
I am a tree
Bending beneath the weight of
His wind and mercy
When all of a sudden, I am unaware of these afflictions eclipsed by glory
and I realize just how beautiful You are and how great your affections are for me.

Oh, how He loves us so
Oh, how He loves us
How He loves us so.
(x2)

Yeah, He loves us
Oh, how He loves us
Oh, how He loves us
Oh, how He loves.
(x2)

We are His portion and
He is our prize,
Drawn to redemption
by the grace in His eyes
If grace is an ocean, we're all sinking
So heaven meets earth like a sloppy wet kiss and my heart turns
violently inside of my chest
I don't have time to maintain these regrets when I think about the way


He loves us,
Oh, how He loves us
Oh, how He loves us
OH, how He loves
(x2)

Yeah, He loves us
Oh, how He loves us
Whoa, how He loves us
Whoa, how He loves.

Yeah, He loves us
He loves us
He loves us
He loves.

Yeah, He loves us
Whoa, how He loves us
Whoa, how He loves us
Whoa, how He loves

He loves us,
Whoa, how He loves us
Whoa, how He loves us
Whoa, how He loves

The Power of GOD in the Dance!


I had a conversation with my Dance ministry leader, she shared with me an Awesome testimony. I would like to share with you:

10 years ago, she was ministering with a dance team that traveled different places in the state of Maryland. 10 years later, she got back connected with this dance team and there was a lady that walked up to her. The sister shared that she had been at the event that my leader ministered at and at that time was in a cult. She told her that the dance she saw her do, God used to help free her from the chains of being in that cult. To God be the glory, she is now set free and a part of the Lords' family.

I share this because, it's not us that is powerful, but it's the Lord working through us that gives us power to trample on scorpions and serpents. This testimony really built me back up because honestly lately I had been feeling kind of dry regarding my passion for dance ministry. These are the times we need to press into GOD and drawer closer to Him to see what He would have us to do.

There are no limits to what God can do through us. He has made us all uniquely and He wants to use us exactly like that: Uniquely. Not a carbon copy. Because what He has put in you, He has put there to use you mightily!!!

Let's ask God to give us our fire back and passion for Him through the dance or any worship arts gift He has given us, so that souls can be won, Hearts can be healed, those bound can be set free and so that He will get the glory!!!

God bless!
