Hello! I'm new to this and seeking genuine advice and guidance. I'm struggling with whether dancing and using band instruments is something God would be pleased with in a church setting. To my knowledge, God only instructs us to use our hymns to sing to him in praise (Ephesians 5:19). Some churches say dancing is sinful because it's us using our bodies rather than our spirit. Others say dancing is okay and it actually fills them with the spirt. What are your thoughts on this? Any scriptures I can look to? Does your church allow dancing why or why not?

I would not say it is sinful, but depending on the settings it can be acceptable or not.

Welcome to Worthy, God is with her.  I have danced folk dances in 2 different churches.  Once it was American square dancing done in a recreation hall, and once it was Jewish folk dances in a sanctuary..  Dancing that in not sensual in nature should be OK.  Dancing before the Lord should be OK.  David danced before the Lord.  I don't think that it should be a form of entertainment for onlookers if it is part of a worship service.  

2Sa 6:14   And David danced before the LORD with all his might; and David was girded with a linen ephod.

Psa 150:3  Praise Him with the sound of the trumpet; Praise Him with the lute and harp!

Psa 150:4  Praise Him with the timbrel and dance; Praise Him with stringed instruments and flutes!

Psa 150:5  Praise Him with loud cymbals; Praise Him with clashing cymbals!

As mentioned, music styles are personal.  The new rock and roll concert style reminds me of my drug days, so I personally do not enjoy this type of music.  I prefer an more mellow approach to worship.

As for dancing, again, if it is in the spirit, I see nothing wrong with it, but I have seen some dancing that belonged in the night clubs.  I don't see how that is worshiping the Lord, but only the flesh.

dancing and music will not please everyone...either too loud, too worldly, too dull, and so on. someone will be offended whatever you do. The priority must be to honor the Lord. The pastor is responsible for the flock under his care

Ezekiel 34:2

“Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel; prophesy and say to them: ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: Woe to you shepherds of Israel who only take care of yourselves! Should not shepherds take care of the flock?

 

Pray "God is within her" for your pastor, and to God for Proverbs 3:5-6 to come alive for you

    • You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • George Whitten, the visionary behind Worthy Ministries and Worthy News, explores the timing of the Simchat Torah War in Israel. Is this a water-breaking moment? Does the timing of the conflict on October 7 with Hamas signify something more significant on the horizon?

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
