Freedm in His Mvement Fundatinal Scripture: Isaiah 61:1: The Spirit f the Svereign LORD is n me, because the LORD has aninted me t prclaim gd news t the pr. He has sent me t bind up the brkenhearted, t prclaim freedm fr the captives and release frm darkness fr the prisners Visin: T see the lives f the peple saved and hearts changed thrugh the pwer, aninting and intimacy f ur Father thrugh the minister; t bring freedm t all captives. Thrugh His mvement, atmspheres will be set fr transfrmatin, healing, and liberty. We impact lives thrugh His message and by His Spirit, we bring it t life. As a minister f dance, and part f this Ministry, it is my respnsibility t keep myself in a right relatinship with Gd. I have a respnsibility t passinately seek the face f Gd and humble myself t His call fr my life and t the lives f thers. As a minister, my purpse is t reveal His Glry; ALL glry belngs t Him. Dance Ministry Requirements/Guidelines/Standards -Yu must knw withut a dubt that the Lrd Jesus Christ has called yu t minister dance unt Him and t His peple -Believer and active member f Center fr Manifestatin and/r Outré Student Fellwship -Has Gd s purpse and the church s purpse in mind-nt his r her agenda -Yu must have a willingness t empty yurself (and yur agenda) s yu may becme full f the Lrd. -Active Prayer/Wrship life -Able t lead cngregatin int wrship -Be able t minister with clean hands and a pure heart -Living in a way that is hly and acceptable unt Him -Knws hw t submit t authrity - Cntinue t study t shw yur self apprved and Build key relatinship
-Living by the fruits f the Hly Spirit (LOVE, PATIENCE, KINDNESS, PEACE, SELF-CONTROL, FAITHFULNESS, GENTLENESS, JOY, GOODNESS) -Cnsistency/dedicatin **Ministering dance is nt abut a feeling. It's nt smething yu want t d because yu danced in the wrld and yu think yu'd be gd at it, r because yu just like t dance, r because yu need the exercise. It's nt smething yu d because the garments are pretty r because yu'll be in the sptlight. It's a ministry! It's nt a perfrmance r recreatin! Yu are affecting lives when yu put n thse garments f praise, wrship, and warfare. Yu must be called by the Master in rder t enter in and be effective. Ability, training, talent r gracefulness aren't requirements. Yu must have a heart that truly wants t wrship the Lrd and t see peple set free. Of curse we want t give the King the very best, but dn't let training, talent r ability (either lack f, r the abundance f) get in the way. Dn't let t little r t much training be tls that Satan can use t bring pride int yur dance, and then change the fcus away frm Jesus and nt yurself. As a ministry and as a church, we shuld desire the Spirit f excellence be upn all that we d. Training is necessary in rder t grw, and we will regularly attend wrkshps and cnferences s we can be encuraged t imprve ur knwledge and abilities. S, while technique is imprtant, ultimately ur heart attitude, and surrender twards the Lrd will be the greatest determining factr in the level f aninting that we perate in. If we have n aninting, we have n pwer, and there will be n fruit! When there is n fruit, n ne can prsper frm yur dance. What I m Requiring f Yu (As a member...) Supprt the Visin/OWN THE VISION
