YOU BETTER DANCE!

 I started singing, I started dancing, I started clapping,

People were laughing. They knew my problems, they knew my pain,
But I knew that God would take them away!
~Marvin Sapp “Praise him in advance”

The key thing to focus on in the course of this song, is that “I knew that God would take them away!”  What do you know about God? I’ll tell you what I know; God is a redeemer, a father and my salvation.

Don’t expect people to see what God sees in you because God sees you in the spirit where as people look at you through mortal eyes. Don’t you dare allow people to label you and tell you what you can and can’t do. My college advisor tried to tell me to basically stop going to college and try another field. She didn’t say change your major or even try to encourage me. This happened in a time when I didn’t know who God said I was.

People’s lack of faith in me surprises me now, but I know that every accomplishment that I have made and will make, is by the grace of God. Imma let you in on a conversation that I had with my heavenly father. I thanked him. I thanked him for seeing me out of 7 billion people in the world. He saw me and he pointed in my direction. He looked in my direction and choose a girl that people didn’t believe would rise above their words and labels. I’m telling you that my God is real. If you know nothing else, know that God will give you a testimony. God will use you to bring prayer, praise and worship into a place where there is none.

I thought of King David and I thought of Joseph today. They were both young, and unexpected. People would have never looked at them and saw what God had seen in them. It’s time to get over what people see in you. God will ordain and birth a ministry in you that people will never see coming.

I’m inspired by the fact that even as a king, David danced out of his clothes. Don’t get to where God is taking you and forget about who he is and what he placed you in a high position for.

There are some places that you may travel through that will teach you how to treat people. I’m still learning this lesson. You can’t mishandle God’s people, he will not allow it. You wonder why folks mistreat you, I just told you why!

I told God that I didn’t want to write to people and that I wanted to work on what I am working on privately, but these words are what he has released through me today. I feel so strong about the title of this blog because I feel like this is the name that the Lord has given me for it.

YOU BETTER DANCE! You better dance in the midst of every trial in your life. It does not matter what people say about you or what position you are in right now, DANCE!

You have to wake up and KNOW that God is with you.  “Whatever you do, do your work heartily, as for the Lord rather than for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance. It is the Lord Christ whom you serve” (Colossians 3: 23-24).

But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong (1 Corinthians 1:27)
