"It's Time to Dance!"

"You turned my wailing into dancing; you removed my

sackcloth and clothed me with joy."

(Psalm 30:11)

~ MAKE A PARTY OUT OF PAIN ~

MAKE A RAINBOW OUT OF RAIN!

(Pastor Kenneth Phillips)

Only the Lord can do it; only the omnipotent One can delete pain and replace it with Joy; only the Holy One of Israel can turn the tears into laughter and dancing. Life's seasons have reached the apex of glee in the portals of long fought wars, so it's TIME now to put off the ashes and be clothed with beauty; it's TIME to "Dance, Children, Dance!"

"Let them praise his name in the dance: let them sing praises

unto him with the timbrel and harp."

(Psalm 149:3)

Can you feel it? Do you sense the change in wind direction? Do you see the oasis in the distance? Are the fresh scents of new falling rain wafting through your nostrils? Do you feel the heaviness of battle dropping from your shoulders? "What is it?" you ask. It's the "season" of dancing, the time of answered prayer, the tears are being wiped away and the harshness of bitter waters has been turned to refreshing springs. Spring up, O well! You say, "I don't feel it." Step in ... enter in ... the door to this season is Worship, Dancing, Rejoicing, Praising ... with all of the heart, soul, mind and strength ... Then, you will be carried away in the thrill of His Spirit, the peace of His essence, and the Joy of His love. "Make a rainbow out of rain," says Pastor Kenneth Phillips. Attitude determines our altitude!

Come forth from the darkness into the light! A new day has dawned for the Church of the living God! Power, strength, glory, miracles, signs, wonders, and answers are here! The years of prayers, the rivers of tears, the bowed knees of surrender, the holy consecration of obedience, the sleepless nights, the weeping between the porch and the altar, the cries in the valley, the wandering in the desert, the loneliness by the brook ... have all built a ladder that we have climbed to reach the cleft of the "Rock" and we have met Him face to face! The lover of our souls has been waiting at the acme of depth, standing on the precipice of height, in the secrets of illumination ... anticipating our arrival. Huh? We have entered into the Glory of the Lord, a place of His presence, a cloud enveloping creation by its Creator, a place reserved for the galloping horses of the end time revival and Spirit outpouring, a triumphant victorious place of beauty such as we have never known! It's a place likened to Moses' place of receiving the commandments; it's a place where glory dwells!
