"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!

"Pickin' Up The Pieces"

 

"Thus saith the LORD; As the shepherd taketh out of the mouth

of the lion two legs, or a piece of an ear..."

(Amos 3:12)

"For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept;

line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there

a little: For with stammering lips and another tongue

will he speak to this people."

(Isaiah 28:10-11)

Amos, the Prophet, spoke to the rescue of a remnant, pieces left

from a devouring lion, yet they had ears to hear

Like being ripped by a beast, is your life broken in pieces,

 consumed with fears and tears?

The Shepherd comes to pick you up, dust you off, and line upon

line, the Spirit of God will restore

It's the Name of Jesus, the Blood of Jesus, and the Word of

Jesus, that you should seek to explore

To be set free, and to be made whole, are promises made by God;

His lines and precepts are written in His blood

It was all for you, a monument of His grace, to mend all the

broken pieces, and form a new blooming bud

Dry your tears and weep no more, for the cross paid the price;

 the Lord Jesus was torn for your brokenness

 His joy and love replace your sorrow, pain and heartache,

erasing your sad sense of hopelessness

Broken pieces are not a problem for the ever-reaching Shepherd;

His arms are strong and always underneath

His lines and precepts made a holy provision for the grafted in,

 an eternal legacy and inheritance to bequeath

You are no more forgotten and thrown away; You're the Glory

of a Holy God, restored and displayed

A vessel of honor you have become, before a watching world,

and guardian Angels, of whom you're arrayed

You're free now, a newly formed creation, the shredded pieces

now made whole by Your Holy Creator

He's Jesus Christ, the Lord of Lords and King of Kings, your

Savior, Redeemer, and your remaker 

Heaven, now, is your destination; the Lord Jesus Christ closed

 the gap, and His blood filled the breaches

Repentance, baptism in Jesus' name, and infilling of His Spirit,

are the Joy of "Pickin' Up the Pieces."

So ... SING!

"And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and

sang praises unto God: and the prisoners heard them."

(Acts 16:25)

"But no one says, 'Where is God my Maker,

who gives songs in the night."

(Job 35:10)

The Apostle Paul and Silas were in prison, "Singing."  In one of the worst times of my life, the Lord wanted me to sing; I had a respiratory infection; I had hurt my back and I was in terrible pain; we were going through grand jury trials to prosecute someone for a crime done against my family  ...  and the Lord said to me, "Sing."  I could barely breathe, literally!  Furthermore, He wanted me to sing the chorus, "This is the day that the Lord has made and I will rejoice and be glad in it."  I did it  ...  and I have just one thing to say to you  ...  you're in deep trouble, marriage problems, national unrest in your country, financial trouble, disease and sickness, pain and trauma  ...  Hey, we've all been there; man is of a few days and full of trouble.  Paul did it; I did it; others did it; you can do it  ...  "So  ...  SING!" 

 But I will sing of thy power; yea, I will sing aloud of thy

mercy in the morning: for thou hast been my defence

 and refuge in the day of my trouble."

(Psalm 59:16)

"What good will it do for me to sing?" you ask.  It's simple; the wicked howl, but we, the children of the King, will sing.  Worship brings the presence of God.  He didn't say you have to have a good voice; it's a matter of the heart, a posture of praise, a position of surrendering and offering ourselves up to the One who does all things well!  During that calamity I stated above, I sang, and when I did, the victory came.  The trials didn't stop, but the man was convicted; we were given the strength to endure; the presence of the Lord was surrounding us, holding us, and comforting us  ...  through it.  The song is the declaration of your soul that you trust the Creator who made you; the song brings a release in the Spirit; the song looses angels and defeats devils; the song floats in wafty lilts to the ears of the One who holds all the answers  ...  Ah, the song  ...  try it  ...

Psalm 59:16 ~ From the Treasury of David

"When those lovers of darkness find their game is up, and their midnight howlings

die away, then will I lift up my voice on high and praise the lovingkindness of God

without fear of being disturbed. What a blessed morning will soon break for the righteous,

 and what a song will be theirs! Sons of the morning, ye may sigh to-night, but joy

will come on the wings of the rising sun, Tune your harps even now, for the signal to

commence the eternal music will soon be given; the morning cometh and your sun shall

go no more down for ever."

Beautiful, isn't it?  David gained strength from his song, and we gain strength from our song.  Sing, children, sing, for your sun will shine again; your joy will arise with newness in its wings; your peace will return like a gentle moonlit night; your hope will mount up on the promises of God's Word.  The Angels of our God arrive when the Holies resound; atmospheres change when the Holy One is exalted; power is extended when praise becomes ordained strength; all of heaven stands at attention when the Holy Creator is hallowed; the stresses of your soul are soothed by the praises of your mouth  ...  Sing!

"Be exalted, O LORD, in your strength;

we will sing and praise your might."

(Psalm 21:13)

Ephesians 5:19 says, "Speak to one another with psalms, hymns and spiritual songs. Sing and make music in your heart to the Lord."  Have you ever made up a song to the Lord?  Huh?  He loves that!  Why?  Because it's uniquely YOU.  It is an offering only You can give, a praise from your own heart, an incense from your spirit to God's Spirit that no one else in the entire world can give Him  ...  He loves it.  You say, "I'm going through terrible things; I just don't have it in me to sing a song."  I hear you, but try it; dig deep within you and   ...  do it.

"I've got all these problems."  "I've never cried so much in my life."  "My family is torn apart."  "There's war all around me."  "My husband/wife left me."  "My teenager has run away."  "Drugs are killing me."  "My finances are in ruins."  ...  So  ...  SING!
