Called To Silence is the newest ministry of W.O.W. This is the first song that they have ever ministered. They did a awesome job. It was a very powerful mime.

Fun and Fellowship Night 1-30-09

2009-02-08T21:16:00.016-05:00

This past Friday night was W.O.W.'s Fun and Fellowship Night. This night is a time to get to know each other and just take time to laugh and enjoy each other company. We have many new people that have joined the group and with a large team like W.O.W., it is sometimes difficult to get to know each other when we are always focused and working on new things.

We all enjoyed some pizza and made some killer sundae's. We sat around and talked and laughed for quite a while. Then we played games such as coin drop, MadGab and Pictionary. I did learn through the game of pictionary that drawing is not one of the gifts of the people in our group, lol.

We also did some Zumba. That too was quite interesting and fun. After that, some of us piled in the cars and went sledding then closed the night out at the ol' faithful Jerry's restaurant. I am looking forward to our next fun night which will be a lock-in.

Campmeeting Sunday Morning

2008-10-20T07:17:00.002-04:00

Sunday was the last day of Campmeeting. Each service was amazing and each speaker delivered a word that will change your life if you just apply it. On this day, we had the opportunity to minister the song "Mercy Seat" by Vicki Yohe'. We have done this dance many time before, but this time we had many new ladies. This is the 1st time many of them have ever ministered in a dance like this. It was great! The Power of God was awesome as always.

Campmeeting Wednesday Night

2008-10-20T07:14:00.002-04:00

We ministered "You are Holy Lord" by Christ for the Nations on Wednesday night during campmeeting. We added banners and another flag this time. The banners are kinda hard to see, but they are wonderful. One banner says "Glory" and the other says "Lord you are Holy". Anna did an amazing job on the creativity of these banners, Thank you.

Because of Who You Are Dance

2008-10-20T07:09:00.003-04:00

We ministered this dance on Mission Sunday. This version is sung by Judy Jacobs.

Mission Sunday was an amazing day at New Vision Ministry Center. Many people received Christ for the very 1st time and many more accepted the challenge to go forward and impact the world in our city.

Healing during this dance

2008-10-05T00:48:00.002-04:00

Trust God Again was the last song that we ministered that night at Richland Baptist Church. The previous two days while we were in Nashville, we attended a Dancing For Him conference. Sometime during the last day of the conference, I pulled a muscle in my leg. It hurt to move, walk or even touch. Getting in and out of the van proved to be a challenge. I could barely walk when we arrived at the church and was practically in tears as we prepared for the night of ministry that was before us. The service began and I was in so much pain, but knew that I had to step up and get through the night. We danced song after song and my leg just seemed to get worse and worse. As we neared the end of the evening, it came time for me to get up and share and then close with the dance "Trust God Again". It was a struggle because I was really hurting at this point. Everytime I dance, I give my all because HE deserves it. HE is the reason I am here and HE is the reason I dance. As the music began to play I began to move (as you will see in the video below). I could feel the power of GOD all over me and the next thing I knew I was jumping up and down in the middle aisle of the church. There was no pain at all! God healed my leg totally.
God touched many lives that night and opened many eyes to his Grace and Mercy and Love. It was an amazing night.

Lisa's Testimony and Mercy Seat Dance

2008-10-03T16:20:00.002-04:00

We had the opportunity to Minister in Nashville on September 14th. I had asked Lisa if she would mind sharing something to lead into the dance "Mercy Seat". She was very nervous, but said yes. I did not know that she had never shared her testimony before, and WOW, A testimony is what she had. Many people were able to see Gods Mercy and love that night through the words that Lisa shared. Thank You Lisa. You are an amazing woman of GOD.
Watch the video below. You may have to turn your sound up more so that you are able to hear better.

Testimonies from our Nashville trip

2008-09-21T22:12:00.006-04:00

It was definitely a time that I will never forget. I got to know ladies in the group really well and feel more connected with the Team. Those are priceless memories that I will never forget. I feel like I have gained lots of friends and sisters. I am thankful for the opportunity to see that there are many different types of dancing and to learn more about the prophetic aspect of dance. The Sunday night ministry experience was one that I feel was so powerful and there seemed to be a hunger in the congregation to want to worship God in a way that they never had. The barrier that I thought would be there considering it was a southern baptist church wasn't there. The Holy Ghost was really strong and it almost made me week in the knees but at the same time gave me a high that I never thought would be in that type of church. Oh yeah Healing was released in that place and I am almost sure that more than one person was healed that night. When you make yourself a willing vessel and forget about the barriers that are between us, then those barriers fall and there is a wide open time of ministry and worship that took place. It like wings of worship brought that church to a new level of worship. They may not worshiped like that on Sunday but they were able to see that its ok to worship in different ways:)
Anna Garcia

What a blessing I have receive being a part of this ministry! The entire trip was so different for me this time ,my whole focus was I wanted to see the anoiting that was going to take place throughout the weekend! I knew how much it had changed my life and I wanted it so bad for the ladies who got to go this time. I am proud to say that I MADE IT through the introductions this time. lol But you could tell there was going to be a movement about to take place! And it sure did , we got our BREAK THROUGH ON!!! and ...I wasn't the first to cry . That was day 1! Sunday really stood out for me. The day started with phone calls from home, everyone was in the dark. This really put a damper in my spirit, just worried about kids and all. So all day we are keeping up with what is going on at home and now I am worried, will we even have anybody at the church tonight. That was the wrong thing to worry over! I have NEVER witnessed the power of God move people as it did that evening, Awesome Testimonies were given! Lisa! WOW!! Joan! You are a amazing woman! If you have never been able to here these ladies speak I am telling you ,YOU will know all about the favor of God and what he can do when you just put it All in Gods hand.!! I am looking forward to the next one already. Blessings & Contract 2,3,4!
Tammy J.

I had a wonderful time in Nashville with the ladies. I knew that God had us in Nashville for a reason and it really wasn't for the conference. Although I enjoyed the conference that is not why we were supposed to be in Nashville. God had other things in mind. We were invited to minister at a baptist church that we visited before while we were there. The pastor has such a sweet spirit about him and you can tell he hungers for more. We felt the presence of God while we were in the back room praying with the pastor before the service started and knew then that was the reason for us to be in Nashville. Lisa ,whom is in the group, was asked by Tammy to give her testimony. She was very nervous about it and wasn't sure she could do it. It blew me away to hear what God has brought her out of. She has never shared that with anyone before not even any of us in the group. To see her worship with the group and to see her smile as she is dancing is truly an amazing testimony to what God can do in a persons life. The entire weekend was a wonderful experience and I feel closer to the ladies in the group than ever. I am always blessed and encouraged by them and consider them all my sisters in Christ.
Barb Wick

This trip was an experience that I'll never forget and always treasure. Since we have been home, not a minute passes that I keep in my mind Sunday night when we ministered at the church. From the time we walked in that door I felt God's presence so strong. Even though we were all so tired and wore out from the weekend and knowing we were getting aggravated, this was the best night. Once the Pastor said a prayer with us before we started, my tears flowed through the whole thing. There is absolutely no way to explain this night. Just AWESOME is all I can say. Pastor Lynn is a wonderful lady too. She taught so much and God used her to relieve me of a "baggage" I've carried for so long. I can't wait to be able to go again!
Lisa Quire

I really enjoyed the "Hiding Place" Conference in Nashville! It was an awesome time to learn different aspects of dance and ministry through dance. I really enjoyed the time of learning about Prophetic Dance! I had never experienced this and found it to be such an awesome way to minister. I really appreciated Pastor Lynn and her heart for God. It was such an honor to meet her and learn from her. What an awesome woman of God!
I have to say that the Sunday night of ministry that we did at Richland Baptist Church was definitely one of the highlights of the weekend! It was such an awesome time of ministry not only to the church, but I think to us as a group! It was such a blessing for us! God simply showed up in such an awesome way! What an honor to be able to minister to the Lord and His people!
We really had fun as a group! We laughed together, cried together, and I really enjoyed it all! It was such an awesome weekend!

We're Back From the Conference

2008-09-18T02:30:00.006-04:00

It has been an amazing 4 days in Nashville, Tennessee. We arrived in Nashville on Thursday night and have a wonderful time just getting to know more about each other in the group. We attended a Dancing For Him Conference on Friday and Saturday. On Sunday We had the opportunity of Ministering At a church in Nashville. I have a slideshow from the conference and I am working on posting video clips from the evening concert and there will be a blog post just to highlight the ministry that took place on Sunday night. Over the next few days I will be posting testimonies from some of the ladies that went on this trip. Enjoy the pictures!

Hide-and-Seek

2008-09-09T14:41:00.002-04:00

When we stand before the congregation to minister, people should see the Lord and not us. We should be so hidden in God that people experience His presence when they come in contact with us. Movement ministry is never about showcasing ourselves.

When we do not take care to get our flesh out of the way, the glory of the Lord cannot be revealed. No flesh shall glory in His presence. Hiding is not about covering up sins, becoming a character on a stage, or faking it until we make it. Being hidden is when only the Lord gets the honor from the ministry that is demonstrated.

We can only hide in Him when we seek Him. If we seek Him, we will find Him. When we find Him, we find everlasting life and the fullness of joy. Having these things will enable us to lead others to Him and receive eternal life. Once we encounter His presence, we must continue to move with Him. We can continue to do that if we hide and seek and remain hidden in Him.

Deuteronomy 4:29 (NKJV)
But from there you will seek the LORD your God, and you will find Him if you seek Him with all your heart and with all your soul.

2 Chronicles 12:14 (NKJV)
And he did evil, because he did not prepare his heart to seek the LORD.

Psalm 17:8-9 (NKJV)
Keep me as the apple of Your eye; Hide me under the shadow of Your wings, from the wicked who oppress me, from my deadly enemies who surround me.

Psalm 27:5 (NKJV)
For in the time of trouble He shall hide me in His pavilion; In the secret place of His tabernacle He shall hide me; He shall set me high upon a rock.

Proverbs 22:3 (NKJV)
A prudent man foresees evil and hides himself, but the simple pass on and are punished.

Jeremiah 29:11-14 (The Message)
10-11This is God's Word on the subject: "As soon as Babylon's seventy years are up and not a day before, I'll show up and take care of you as I promised and bring you back home. I know what I'm doing. I have it all planned out—plans to take care of you, not abandon you, plans to give you the future you hope for. 12"When you call on me, when you come and pray to me, I'll listen. 13-14"When you come looking for me, you'll find me. "Yes, when you get serious about finding me and want it more than anything else, I'll make sure you won't be disappointed." God's Decree. "I'll turn things around for you. I'll bring you back from all the countries into which I drove you"—God's Decree—"bring you home to the place from which I sent you off into exile. You can count on it.

Fasting is not so much about abstaining from food as much as it is about focusing our complete concentration on God through prayer.

Week of Prayer and Fasting Sept 2-8 (Day 1)

2008-09-02T14:27:00.003-04:00

Here is a scripture I would like to share with you today.
2 Chronicles 20:3-17:
3 -4 Shaken, Jehoshaphat prayed. He went to God for help and ordered a nationwide fast. The country of Judah united in seeking God's help—they came from all the cities of Judah to pray to God.
5 -9 Then Jehoshaphat took a position before the assembled people of Judah and Jerusalem at The Temple of God in front of the new courtyard and said, "O God, God of our ancestors, are you not God in heaven above and ruler of all kingdoms below? You hold all power and might in your fist—no one stands a chance against you! And didn't you make the natives of this land leave as you brought your people Israel in, turning it over permanently to your people Israel, the descendants of Abraham your friend? They have lived here and built a holy house of worship to honor you, saying, 'When the worst happens—whether war or flood or disease or famine—and we take our place before this Temple (we know you are personally present in this place!) and pray out our pain and trouble, we know that you will listen and give victory.'
10 -12 "And now it's happened: men from Ammon, Moab, and Mount Seir have shown up. You didn't let Israel touch them when we got here at first—we detoured around them and didn't lay a hand on them. And now they've come to kick us out of the country you gave us. O dear God, won't you take care of them? We're helpless before this vandal horde ready to attack us. We don't know what to do; we're looking to you."
13 Everyone in Judah was there—little children, wives, sons—all present and attentive to God.
14 -17 Then Jahaziel was moved by the Spirit of God to speak from the midst of the congregation. (Jahaziel was the son of Zechariah, the son of Benaiah, the son of Jeiel, the son of Mattaniah the Levite of the Asaph clan.) He said, "Attention everyone—all of you from out of town, all you from Jerusalem, and you King Jehoshaphat—God's word: Don't be afraid; don't pay any mind to this vandal horde. This is God's war, not yours. Tomorrow you'll go after them; see, they're already on their way up the slopes of Ziz; you'll meet them at the end of the ravine near the wilderness of Jeruel. You won't have to lift a hand in this battle; just stand firm, Judah and Jerusalem, and watch God's saving work for you take shape. Don't be afraid, don't waver. March out boldly tomorrow—God is with you."

Quit playing, start praying. Quit feasting, start fasting. Talk less with men, talk more with God. Listen less to men, listen to the words of God. Skip travel, start travail. -Leonard Ravenhill

Temper Mental

2008-08-21T13:35:00.001-04:00

There are times in movement ministry that we will become distracted by the circumstances of life. We can deal with this in many ways including becoming angry, retaliating, showing grace, or practicing forgiveness. If our minds are distracted from the purpose to which we are called, we will be hindered as we try to get the message of the gospel to others. If we can be consumed in our minds, then it will affect our bodies as well. It is often said that the mind is a battlefield.

We have a choice concerning how we react to conflict. As we mature in ministry and life, we will realize that some things are just human nature. The things that bothered us five years ago may no longer affect us the same way today. We must decide to keep-it-moving. Handling ourselves in an ungodly manner will affect our minds if we keep making the same mistakes over again. The weapons of our warfare are not carnal.

If we allow ourselves to remain angry, stressed-out, and overwhelmed, our bodies will begin to show signs of wear and this will hinder us in ministry. Feeling sluggish and burdened will douse our excitement and joy. Dance ministry is not an act or production. It is a live demonstration of the Truth. As a man thinks in his heart (mind), so is he.

Psalm 73:21 (NKJV)
Thus my heart was grieved, and I was vexed in my mind

Proverbs 14:17 (NKJV)
A quick-tempered man acts foolishly, and a man of wicked intentions is hated.

Luke 12:29 (NKJV)
And do not seek what you should eat or what you should drink, nor have an anxious mind.

Romans 7:23 (NKJV)
But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members.

Colossians 3:2 (NKJV)
Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth

August 3, 2008 "You Are Holy Lord" Dance

2008-08-05T07:42:00.004-04:00

Sunday August 3, 2008 , we had the opportunity to minister the 'You are Holy Lord' dance in both services. The atmosphere was charged and the Lord was exalted. Check it out!!

You are Holy Lord - Dance

2008-07-28T11:19:00.003-04:00

We ministered this dance during the 9A.M. service on July 27. I have danced many dances but I must say this one was amazing. The Presence of God was all over me during this dance. Many of the other ladies said they experienced the same thing.
Hopefully we will get to minister this again soon.

Pajama Practice

2008-07-26T21:43:00.007-04:00

This Past Friday, we had a Pajama Practice for Wings of Worship. We get so caught up in just a routine of coming to practice on Monday's, ministering with flags on Sunday's and ministering in dance, but we don't take the time for each other. We have a wonderful group of ladies in W.O.W.. Many of the ladies don't get a chance to really know each other when the only time they see each other is during practice, so I try to think of activities that will draw us together and open up doors where relationships can begin to grow. Sometimes, we just need to sit back and relax.

We really needed to get a final practice in before ministering the new dance on Sunday, so I decided to call a pajama practice for Friday. Everyone came in their pj's and brought their favorite sundae topping. We ordered pizza and finished that off with the most heavenly sundae's that you could ever imagine. We practiced the new dance many times (actually before the food, but probably should have been after to burn off calories). After eating, I paired the ladies up and had them interview each other for 30 minutes or so. The needed to find out as much about each other as possible. This proved to be veryyy interesting and very funny. Here are some things that I have learned:
Donna has over 20 years experience in dance and has traveled everywhere.

Barbara has a dream of opening her own candle shop called "Long Wicks & Sticks".

Tammy Johnson and Donna went to college at Western together and Tammy isn't as quiet as she seems.

Kendra is a Nanny (not a nunny). She loves working in missions and is fluent in Spanish and has lived in Mexico for 3 years.

Lisa met Rick through a co-worker that just happened to be his mom, and when they met, it was love at first sight.

Stephanie and Angela share the same birthday and Stephanie has trouble giving away trash bags.

Joan is a precious and amazing woman and she has met a wonderful man and is head over heals.

Angela is nicknamed "Smiley". She and Stephanie share the same birthday (have I mentioned that yet?) and if you ever need pointers on how to meet a guy, just ask her.

Shara had to cut out early to go to work, but she is a wonderful mom and a great blessing to W.O.W.

I also learned something about myself, I need to pick a new favorite color, lol.

Needless to say, we had a great time and I look forward to seeing these ladies grow in their relationship with God and grow together as a powerful ministry impacting this city for Christ.

Sin in Ministry

2008-07-24T15:20:00.003-04:00

I got this article from a book, "Wisdom for Dancers". I would like to share it with you.

As we observe the world around us, it seems that there is more tolerance for what the Word calls sin. Although believers are supposed to be separate from the Godless practices of the world, many are embracing the customs of it in the name of liberty. The dance ministry is not immune to this trend.

Many dance leaders are living in intimacy with others to whom they are not married. Countless dancers are living sinful lifestyles that do not glorify God. Self-absorbed, conceited divas terrorize churches, communities, and dance programs with spiritual terrorism and sorority-style superiority. It is time to confront these destructive tactics of the enemy and spare not!

Those who labor in the ministry of movement should not be overaken by sin. We are overcomers. Perfection is a standard to which we aim, but the practice of willful disobedience sends shockwaves that cannot be measured if we do not yield to the Word of the Lord. Toleration of gross sin and misconduct only serves to disqualify movement as a ministry if practiced by dance ministers. Let us lay the lure of sin on the altar, and leave nothing left to spring up. No more excuses. Leave nothing behind for the enemy to claim. It's time to walk in righteousness.

Isaiah 58:1 (NKJV)
“Cry aloud, spare not; Lift up your voice like a trumpet; Tell My people their transgression, and the house of Jacob their sins.

Ezekiel 5:11 (NKJV)
‘Therefore, as I live,’ says the Lord GOD, ‘surely, because you have defiled My sanctuary with all your detestable things and with all your abominations, therefore I will also diminish you; My eye will not spare, nor will I have any pity.

Romans 8:32 (NKJV)
He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things?

Romans 11:21 (NKJV)
For if God did not spare the natural branches, He may not spare you either.

2 Peter 2:4-7,9 (NKJV)
For if God did not spare the angels who sinned, but cast them down to hell and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved for judgment; and did not spare the ancient world, but saved Noah, one of eight people, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood on the world of the ungodly; and turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah into ashes, condemned them to destruction, making them an example to those who afterward would live ungodly; and delivered righteous Lot, who was oppressed by the filthy conduct of the wicked...

...then the Lord knows how to deliver the godly out of temptations and to reserve the unjust under punishment for the day of judgment

Lip Service

2008-07-22T10:43:00.002-04:00

Dancing is not enough. We must have enough Word in us that we can verbalize His goodness. Some prefer to sing along with songs as they dance. This is not a requirement or a suggestion. Too many dancers hide behind the songs and movements, and cannot tell one personal testimony of the transforming power of God in their own lives.

While we spend time practicing our routines, we should also spend time each day giving Him the fruit of our lips. This does not mean to grab a bullhorn and stand on the street corner and yell Scriptures to passersby. Wherever and whenever we find an opportunity to praise His name, we should jump at the chance. Whether we are in our homes, in the car, taking a shower, riding the elevator, or walking down the street, we can take many moments throughout the day to tell the Lord how wondrous He is to us. The joy that will result cannot be hidden.

The more we magnify the Lord, the more of Him people will be able to see in our lives and ministries. It is not difficult to show conviction, passion, and emotion through dance when we do it on a daily basis. Praise and worship does not start at dance rehearsal, it starts with us.

Job 8:21 (NKJV)
He will yet fill your mouth with laughing, and your lips with rejoicing.

Psalm 40:9 (NKJV)
I have proclaimed the good news of righteousness in the great assembly; Indeed, I do not restrain my lips, O LORD, You Yourself know.

Psalm 51:15 (NKJV)
O Lord, open my lips, and my mouth shall show forth Your praise.

Psalm 63:3 (NKJV)
Because Your lovingkindness is better than life, my lips shall praise You.

Hebrews 13:15 (NKJV)
Therefore by Him let us continually offer the sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of our lips, giving thanks to His name.

Dance

2008-07-15T10:06:00.001-04:00

Watch this twice. Once just to take in the dance and the second time to take in the quotes.

The Power Company

2008-07-02T22:49:00.002-04:00

It is not enough that one or two dancers on a team is powerful. If we dance with a group, we must strive for everyone to be effective and move by the Spirit. It is good and pleasant for us to dwell together in unity! Being on one accord helps to combat pride and competition within ministry groups.

Granted, we are all at different places in our personal relationships with the Lord. When we minister as a group, we stand as one before Him. If just one of us is out of line, then the whole group is compromised. There is beauty in the holiness of worship. We are more effective as dancers when we rely on the Holy Spirit, and not our own abilities.

We only receive power after the Holy Ghost is come upon us. Too many are operating in their own giftings. When the flesh is leading, we will struggle with disunity, strife, rebellion, ambitiousness, and mutiny. Our prayers for dance ministries should include the unity of the brethren and that we walk as one. We cannot accomplish this without the Holy Spirit.

Ephesians 4:2-4 (NKJV)
With all lowliness and gentleness, with longsuffering, bearing with one another in love, endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called in one hope of your calling

Zephaniah 3:9 (NKJV)
For then I will restore to the peoples a pure language, that they all may call on the name of the LORD, to serve Him with one accord.

Philippians 2:2 (NKJV)
Fulfill my joy by being like-minded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind.

1 Corinthians 12:13 (NKJV)
For by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body—whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free—and have all been made to drink into one Spirit.

Dance ministry vs Dance performance

2008-05-13T22:33:00.002-04:00

Let's talk about the difference between dance ministry and dance performance.

This seems to be a difficult transition to make, especially if you grew up with years of secular dance training.I found that the Holy Spirit has to consistently purge us of the “Feeling” that we need to “Perform” for people.

We are called to “Minister to People.” We are called to “Win the Lost” As dance ministries, we are Not called to dance strictly for “Entertainment” But, when we can disconnect ourselves from the feeling that we need to “Show people what we can do” - we are truly set free through the Power of Praise; and, the Healing Power of Worship. When we are free from “The need to perform for people” God empowers us with an anointing that sets people free.

Remember, it is all about God....keep him at the forefront and seek Him every step of the way! A dance ministry is not something to be entered into lightly...too many times people start off well intentioned because it "looks cool and innovative"...but it should be taken seriously. Leaders and dance ministers need to have a prayer life and a relationship with the Lord. If you have no relationship with the Lord you are just exercising!

Spiritual Requirements for the Christian Dance Worshiper

2008-05-13T22:30:00.002-04:00

In preparing oneself for the ministry of dance, we must first realize that our first call is to Jesus Himself. We first draw close to Him, seek to know Him: seek His face, seek His heart. Our ministry will then be a result of the overflow of having spent time with Him. Only then can we truly answer the call to ministry. He must always be our first love.

The Scriptures tell us that God is seeking worshipers, not dancers. Although ability is necessary, the Scripture does not exhort us to “praise Him in the dance if you have been to ballet class”. Those who will worship in Spirit and in truth are those who God calls.

Because there is no scriptural reference that tells us to “sit and watch while others dance”, our dance must truly be a priestly ministry, bringing Christ to the people, and/ or the people to Christ. We are never to be the focus. Because dance is such a visible ministry, it is imperative for us to endeavor to lay self on the altar and seek to “BE YE HOLY, FOR I AM HOLY” 1 Peter 1:16.

God is looking for people who will make time to meet with Him daily. Let us spend time with God until our dances come from Him. God wants dances that are Spirit to spirit: Dances that will bring change in the lives of others. God has dances from His heart and dances from His throne that He wants to pour out through us. Therefore, we must learn to be visual demonstrations of what God is saying and doing in the Sprit. We must empty our own dances and make room for His. We must learn to express the truths of God’s heart.

We must become transparent in our worship. There are no short cuts. We must allow God to break us in worship so we can begin to learn true expression. Let’s yearn for that which is authentic. You cannot fake the anointing. The anointing is not just for your gift – it is for your whole life. Ministry must come from the overflow.

Worshipers who are consumed with a fiery passion for Jesus will win the end time harvest. The ultimate in our worship is not the expression of the worship - it is the knowledge of His presence. Let’s not reduce our expressions of worship to mere fleshly activities. His presence and His anointing are the only things that validate our expressions of worship, not our skill or expressive ability. Let’s learn to hear from God – learn to know what the Spirit is saying to the church.

I challenge you to begin your day with God. If you do not already have a daily time set aside for seeking His face, make it a priority to begin immediately. Each morning, rise earlier than normal. Go into your prayer closet – a place where there will be no distractions. Have a time of worship, bible study and prayer. It is vital for the dancer to minister to God before ministering for God. Then and only then will we truly be a vessel prepared for the Master’s use.

Rev Dr Pamela Rutherford (CDFUSA)

We will miss you!

Joan Beeler is an amazing woman. She has been a vital part of Wings of Worship from the beginning. On the evening of Saturday May 3, Joan's husband Barry, passed away. Over the past two years, The Beeler family has had their share of ups and downs, but I have never heard anything negative come out of their mouths. There were many time I would talk with them at church or on the phone and want to encourage them, but I was the one who left that conversation encouraged. This family has touched many lives with their words and the life they live.

NVMC has lost a great friend. Barry was a Husband, Father, and a man of great faith. Today he is with the Lord and his battle with cancer has come to a victorious end. Joan and the boys need your prayers and support during this time of great loss.

the funeral arrangements are as follows:

Barry Beeler
Owen Funeral Home on Dixie Highway
Visitation is Tuesday 2-8
Funeral Wednesday @ Noon

In lieu of flowers NVMC is asking for donations to help cover the funeral expenses. You may make checks payable to NVMC for this family and we will make sure it is given to the family on your behalf. You may also donate online at www.NVMC.tV and label your donation for Barry Beeler family. Any help is greatly appreciated by this family.
For more information you may contact the church at 239-1972

Joan, we are here for you. If you need ANYTHING, you know you can call day or night.

We love you Joan. Your sisters of W.O.W.

The Dancer

2008-04-29T21:10:00.002-04:00

My heart sings when I think of Your greatness
My soul dances when Your wind blows against my skin
My mind can't comprehend the grace and favor You have given me.

I am Your vessel

Your Holy Spirit takes control of my body and worships You in dance.
When people are watching they receive deliverance, healing, salvation, and love.

The power that flows through me, I can hardly stand.
The anointing that flows through my feet and my hands
I never thought You would use a sinner like me,
But I was wrong and my purpose is being fulfilled
By letting go and doing your will.

Our Wonderful God!

We just had our "Peace in HIS Presence" Workshop and it was wonderful! We laughed, we cried, we danced, we were changed. Saturday was a day that I will not soon forget. We touched on what worship truly is and covered topics such as flags/billow, prophetic dance, dancing the word, and choreography. God took over and lives were changed and many peoples eyes were opened to a new way of worship.
We had a guest come and impart into our lives. Sherri Hart is an amazing woman of God. She came and delivered a powerful word from God. She also led us into a very intimate time of worship. Sherri just recorded her first Cd and this is a must have to your music library. (I will have info on how you can purchase your own copy of this CD soon).
Thank you to everyone that made this day possible.
Here is a video clip and some testimonies that I have received about the workshop. I am already looking forward to our next workshop.

Tammy, I want to thank you again for all the hard work you put into the workshop. It was exactly what Dr. Jesus ordered for me:) I came with a headache that I had for a couple of days over some very stressful things that I had to deal with that week. At home, I kept trying to cast my cares on the Lord, but the enemy was really attacking my mind. I was so distracted about pressing issues I had to deal with that I wasn't in the Word to the extend that I needed. Everyones' smiling faces was the first blessing. I loved Tammy and Sherri's teaching. I took notes. It really ministered to me. But, I must say that the breakthrough came during the worship, beginning with the very first song. The more we worshiped, the more I received from the Lord. I had just finished some "Warfare Prayer" and ended up on my knees with my face to the floor. Then, several of the ladies gave a message in tongues and interpretation. As I was crying and I travailing in the spirit, all of that heavy burden left me. Everything they were saying was God speaking to me, answering my heart cries to Him. It was truly awesome! I have been so blessed ever since. I never cease to be amazed at God's goodness!!! God bless you!!! Joan B.

Tammy, My experience I had at the worship workshop was breathe taking!!! I never felt the move of God that strong ever in my life. I was so taken by the Lord and I heard from Him loud and clear to never be afraid to worship Him in spirit and in truth, when I tell you to worship me do it no matter who is around you I need you to worship me. I want to thank you Tammy for be obedient to the Lord and being a great host. I can't wait for the next one and I know it will be really soon and after that it will be every week. :-) Kim M.

Peace in his presence is exactly what we received Saturday.. It is amazing how when you set aside time for the Lord He blesses you so tremendously--giving you peace and refreshing from the cares of this life! We have to take time for the Lord because He is ready and waiting to tend to us when we offer up ourselves to Him. The Lord dealt with me that day about obedience---when He tells me to go GO--when He tells me to do DO! Quit analyzing-- stop worrying about what people think!!
We had a tremendous unity that day---it was awesome when we danced in a circle together how we were able to experience the freedom and joy of the Lord!
And then there came a point when I just laid on my back and talked to God.. I mean REALLY talked with Him---about a lot of stuff... This was the perfect environment to praise, to worship, to give, and to RECEIVE! I am so glad I went and just allowed the Lord to SHOWER me with His presence! Stephanie H.

This was one of the most memorable experiences i have ever had in my life. words cannot describe what happened in that room or in my heart and soul...i am truly free to worship. I give all the glory to god. i thank you Tammy for your obedience and for stepping outside of your comfort zone to be used of god in such a mighty way. i cant wait to get a hold of ms.Sherri harts cd. God bless you all. Rachel

I was glad to be apart of a workshop that was all about worship dance! As we were worshiping the Lord, I felt like this is what we were meant to do; that this is the purpose of all creation: to worship our heavenly Father! I felt and knew that God was in the midst of us. It reminded me of being a kid and not having to worry about a single thing- knowing your parents would take care of your every need. God is taking care of my every need! I'm so glad to have been reminded of this simple truth at the workshop.
And Finally there's no right or wrong way to worship in dance. I loved that everyone had different styles all that's needed is a loving heart toward Jesus.
Thanks Tammy!
Shara

First let me say Thank You Lord for giving Tammy the vision for this workshop. This workshop was anointed and appointed for such a time as this!! This was not for the dance and flag ministry, God told Tammy to call all worshipers! and she did!!! If you answered the call or not is up to you. For me I am glad I answer the call of God to be there. This led me into a deeper place with Jesus. People sing the song "deeper" but are you truly ready to be taken out of the comfort zone of your normal life. In this workshop it allowed me to be FREE with the master, every moment and every song that was ministered this day was for his GLORY. You were FREE INDEED. It was for me my constant conversation with Christ through worship and praise. I pray each day that God opens the hearts of others to receive the amount of pressing, pouring into and freedom that all of us received that day. I know I will never be the same, Never!! So if you see me dancing a different way, praising a different way or worshiping a different way!! Ask God to take you deeper in worship with HIM.

When I heard about the "Peace In His Presence" Workshop, immediately God put it in my heart to do a dance to the song titled "No Sacrifice" by Jason Upton for the concert that night.
Many times in my walk with the Lord, he has put it within me to sing a song, do a dance or just simply step out of my comfort zone. In the past, I always gave an excuse to the Lord. Instead of just being obedient to His voice, I would tell Him that I didn't have time to prepare, or I didn't feel adequate or talented enough.
One of the things that we all talked about at the workshop was being obedient to the voice of God and stepping out of our box. Even while we were talking about this, In my mind I was again returning to my former habit, thinking of reasons why I should not do this dance.
In deciding to finally do the dance and be obedient to the voice of the Lord, God reminded me of some things that I think we all loose at some point. God reminded me that the dance is not just about the moves or the motions or the choreography, although those things are very important and needed. It's simply just about the worship of our heart and the praise that we give to the Lord. It's our undivided attention and true praise and worship that we give, and that He ultimately deserves. That is the core of dance and that it what our purpose should be! Jessica B.

I have to say the part where we just listened to the music and did our own thing, I felt the Holy Spirit so strong and powerful--the tears flowed. When one of the ladies did her speaking in tongues and when it was interpreted--that hit me even harder--it hit home. When Sherri spoke--that added to the interpretation--things were just piecing together like a puzzle. There are so many words I can say but to sum it up all I can say is Jesus was definitely there and I'm glad I didn't miss it. You did an awesome job on all of it Tammy. This is just a taste of whats to come. Lisa Quire

The Word In Action

2008-04-23T09:40:00.004-04:00

This is a clip of an activity we did at our "Peace In HIS Presence" workshop. We broke up into groups and I gave all the groups the scripture Ecc. 3: 1-8, they had 20 minutes to choreograph that scripture. My point through this activity is that we are all different in our dance/presentation of the scripture, but it was the same scripture. We are all creative. When we worship God, we all may have our own way of doing it, but it is all worship. Some may kneel, some may jump, many may lift their hands, some bow their heads, some dance and some shout and none of them are wrong. Each person has their own way of expressing what is in their heart to the Father. Check out the video.

I have gathered all the pictures of the many time we ministered together and some of the other adventures that we have shared together and put together a little slideshow. I hope you enjoy it.
