1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,800 Well, I must say I am honored to be part of this series. 2 00:00:04,800 --> 00:00:06,500 It's been an incredible series. 3 00:00:06,500 --> 00:00:10,460 If you've missed any of them, please, please go online 4 00:00:10,460 --> 00:00:14,880 and go back and take a look because all encompassing, 5 00:00:15,760 --> 00:00:19,280 they're very, very special and lots of great nuggets of wisdom 6 00:00:19,280 --> 00:00:21,520 that I know I've been taking away with. 7 00:00:21,840 --> 00:00:28,120 So I'm really excited to share with you guys my experiences 8 00:00:28,120 --> 00:00:31,440 with worship and what it's done to transform my life. 9 00:00:32,120 --> 00:00:37,200 I do want to say thank you to my family, my husband Alan, 10 00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:39,040 my children, Clara and Grace. 11 00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:42,020 They are the pieces that help hold me together. 12 00:00:42,500 --> 00:00:43,920 My mom's here today. 13 00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:44,960 Can you wave, mom? 14 00:00:46,340 --> 00:00:47,040 Just wave. 15 00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:48,800 That's my mama. 16 00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:53,180 If you wonder, like, boy, Robin's a pretty nice gal. 17 00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:54,640 She was my example. 18 00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:58,180 She taught Sunday school when I was a kid. 19 00:00:58,180 --> 00:01:01,200 I have memories of helping out in her classroom. 20 00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:02,020 I don't know. 21 00:01:02,020 --> 00:01:04,080 Was it the Plagues mom? 22 00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:06,080 She would, like, throw these locusts on the table 23 00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:08,240 and the kids would scream and it was so much fun. 24 00:01:08,780 --> 00:01:12,040 I remember these things, but she was always that example to me, 25 00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:14,620 to live a life helping one another, 26 00:01:14,620 --> 00:01:16,620 serving when you're given the opportunity 27 00:01:16,620 --> 00:01:17,800 and to always choose kindness. 28 00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:21,220 So, you know, if I'm a nice person, it's because of my mama. 29 00:01:21,220 --> 00:01:24,580 So, a little bit about myself. 30 00:01:24,580 --> 00:01:28,820 I'm a graduate of Moline High School and Black Hawk College. 31 00:01:29,620 --> 00:01:32,980 And like Greg mentioned, I now live in Viola, Illinois, 32 00:01:32,980 --> 00:01:35,700 where I recently opened a rec center, just a place 33 00:01:35,700 --> 00:01:37,980 for people to gather and grow together. 34 00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:41,520 I grew up in the dance world. 35 00:01:42,060 --> 00:01:44,920 I also grew up in a Lutheran church. 36 00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:47,600 And God and dance for me was separate. 37 00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:51,760 In church, we stood up and we sang a hymn out of a book 38 00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:54,120 and then we sat back down and we listened to the message. 39 00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:58,060 It wasn't until about the 90s and I think there was a musical 40 00:01:58,060 --> 00:02:00,300 shift that happened during that time as well. 41 00:02:00,300 --> 00:02:05,100 But during my high school years, I was fortunate enough to go 42 00:02:05,100 --> 00:02:07,020 to this thing called Leadership Lab. 43 00:02:07,020 --> 00:02:09,840 And it was a one week high school, 44 00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:13,540 I don't know what you'd call it, camp, right, 45 00:02:13,540 --> 00:02:15,260 that was held at Augustana College. 46 00:02:15,260 --> 00:02:20,100 And that was my first experience that I had with a live band 47 00:02:20,100 --> 00:02:23,560 that was singing worship music and they incorporated 48 00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:26,280 like hand motions to go along with it, right? 49 00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:27,580 I mean, I still remember. 50 00:02:27,780 --> 00:02:32,960 Jesus is the rock and he rolls my blues away, bop shoo, bop shoo, 51 00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:34,500 bop shoo, woo, right? 52 00:02:34,500 --> 00:02:38,120 Like I would walk into this place and I was like, wow, 53 00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:39,980 this is so much fun. 54 00:02:39,980 --> 00:02:41,580 There's a bunch of kids my age. 55 00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:43,220 They're doing hand motions. 56 00:02:43,220 --> 00:02:43,780 We're singing. 57 00:02:43,780 --> 00:02:46,100 We're dancing and we're talking about God at the same time. 58 00:02:46,100 --> 00:02:48,060 Like, okay, pretty cool. 59 00:02:48,060 --> 00:02:51,500 It wasn't until like my freshman year of college 60 00:02:51,500 --> 00:02:53,460 that I actually gave my life to Christ. 61 00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:58,220 If any of you know Patty Bray, she led me and a few 62 00:02:58,220 --> 00:02:59,620 of my friends in a small group. 63 00:02:59,620 --> 00:03:01,380 And that eventually led me 64 00:03:01,380 --> 00:03:03,320 to attending Heritage Wesleyan Church. 65 00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:06,280 I always had a belief in God growing up. 66 00:03:07,020 --> 00:03:09,860 But for me, it was just a separate thing. 67 00:03:09,860 --> 00:03:13,580 Like God was up there and I was right here and I just had 68 00:03:13,580 --> 00:03:15,540 to be a good person, right? 69 00:03:15,540 --> 00:03:17,860 I didn't understand that connection with Jesus 70 00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:21,740 that he could be right here, right here, right here, 71 00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:22,900 right among me. 72 00:03:23,900 --> 00:03:27,440 And so thankfully, I had become friends with John 73 00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:28,760 and Patty Bray's daughter. 74 00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:30,740 And she's the one that introduced me 75 00:03:30,740 --> 00:03:31,940 to this Bible study. 76 00:03:32,060 --> 00:03:34,520 Ironically, she's also the one that introduced me 77 00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:35,560 to my husband. 78 00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:37,060 So, I'm Marissa. 79 00:03:37,060 --> 00:03:38,880 That's probably like a God incident, right? 80 00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:42,480 But Heritage Church was home for me. 81 00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:46,560 And I found myself serving in as many areas as I could. 82 00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:48,800 For the church itself, 83 00:03:48,940 --> 00:03:51,820 freestyle dancing wasn't really an acceptable thing. 84 00:03:52,300 --> 00:03:56,480 But choreographed worship dance was acceptable 85 00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:57,940 and it was growing. 86 00:03:57,940 --> 00:03:58,840 It was building. 87 00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:02,840 I began to discover how to use my instrument 88 00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:05,700 as Tony discussed for his glory. 89 00:04:06,380 --> 00:04:10,240 And this is also where I met my incredible friends, Jen 90 00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:12,280 and Cindy and Greg. 91 00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:15,520 So, that part of my life was a truly special time. 92 00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:18,040 When I married my high school sweetheart, 93 00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:19,000 we moved to Virginia. 94 00:04:19,540 --> 00:04:21,300 And lo and behold, the church 95 00:04:21,300 --> 00:04:23,720 that we found had a dance team. 96 00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:25,920 It also ironically met in a school. 97 00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:27,440 And they were perfectly content with that. 98 00:04:27,740 --> 00:04:30,820 But moving to a new state and not knowing anyone, 99 00:04:30,820 --> 00:04:33,660 I found everything I needed in that small little church. 100 00:04:34,260 --> 00:04:38,160 A best friend, people to connect with, a youth ministry 101 00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:40,200 to get involved in, and a place 102 00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:42,280 for my worship dance experience to grow. 103 00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:45,860 Fast forward to just even last year. 104 00:04:45,860 --> 00:04:48,920 And I was volunteering at Youth Hope in Moline, 105 00:04:49,220 --> 00:04:53,060 teaching kids tap dance and just sharing the love of Christ 106 00:04:53,060 --> 00:04:55,000 with them, being able to give them little nuggets 107 00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:56,300 of God's goodness. 108 00:04:57,160 --> 00:05:01,840 So, the Lord has affirmed my purpose to use dance as a way 109 00:05:01,840 --> 00:05:03,960 to reflect his light and his love. 110 00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:07,460 So, whatever I do, I do it for the glory of God. 111 00:05:08,460 --> 00:05:12,520 Here's what I know to be, what I believe to be true about dance. 112 00:05:13,220 --> 00:05:15,320 Dance is art in motion. 113 00:05:15,820 --> 00:05:18,160 It is a way to speak without using words. 114 00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:21,280 Dance is an opportunity to put 115 00:05:21,280 --> 00:05:23,600 into motion the voice of your soul. 116 00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:27,600 Dance is weaved through religious ceremonies 117 00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:30,600 and cultural rituals all over the world. 118 00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:32,400 It is universal. 119 00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:37,360 We see dancing at parties and clubs, at football, end zones, 120 00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:40,860 or in the toddler's sporadic wiggles and bends. 121 00:05:40,860 --> 00:05:46,080 I mean, we could insert an endless loop of viral videos 122 00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:47,360 of toddlers dancing, right? 123 00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:51,720 Often, dance is an outward response of joy. 124 00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:56,120 Second Samuel says, and David danced before the Lord 125 00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:56,920 with all his might. 126 00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:00,400 The Lord spoke to Jeremiah the Baptist, 127 00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:04,360 the Lord spoke to Jeremiah the prophet, and says, 128 00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:06,600 I will rebuild you, Israel. 129 00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:10,400 You will again be happy and dance merrily 130 00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:11,560 with your tambourines. 131 00:06:12,540 --> 00:06:14,840 Dance is a natural response. 132 00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:20,880 So, I thoroughly enjoy incorporating dance 133 00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:22,520 and music in my worship. 134 00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:25,020 And if you've noticed, I get very jiggly 135 00:06:25,020 --> 00:06:26,320 over there sometimes. 136 00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:30,120 I mean, we do have an excellent band, right? 137 00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:33,360 Like, how can you not move around to this music? 138 00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:35,800 But really, it is like my favorite thing. 139 00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:38,960 I look forward to coming here on Sunday morning 140 00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:41,120 and worshiping with you guys. 141 00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:44,280 Because when I begin to give God my full attention 142 00:06:44,280 --> 00:06:47,680 in worship, when I stop focusing on me and my problems, 143 00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:51,200 but on him, his goodness, and his greatness, 144 00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:53,360 things change for the better. 145 00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:54,960 My perspectives change. 146 00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:58,460 It doesn't mean that my problems magically disappear, 147 00:06:58,460 --> 00:07:01,640 but the worry and the fear diminish. 148 00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:06,280 Hebrews 13 says, through Jesus, therefore, 149 00:07:06,280 --> 00:07:10,480 let us continually offer to God a sacrifice of praise. 150 00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:14,920 And in Psalm 149, praise his name with dancing, 151 00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:18,360 accompanied by tambourine and harp. 152 00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:21,400 In Ecclesiastes 3, there is a time to cry 153 00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:25,560 and a time to laugh, a time to grieve, and a time to dance. 154 00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:30,560 I am a cancer survivor, and worship is what brought me 155 00:07:30,940 --> 00:07:33,620 through the most difficult time in my life, 156 00:07:33,620 --> 00:07:37,100 with a smile on my face and hope in my heart. 157 00:07:37,100 --> 00:07:41,120 I devoured worship as though it was water. 158 00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:44,380 I had a playlist of worship music that I listened to 159 00:07:44,380 --> 00:07:47,940 over and over and just continued to add to it. 160 00:07:47,940 --> 00:07:52,260 And like Greg had shared, I even created my own song. 161 00:07:52,260 --> 00:07:56,420 So when I was at my weakest and in my darkest moment, 162 00:07:56,420 --> 00:07:58,660 I'm singing God is good all the time. 163 00:07:59,700 --> 00:08:03,420 And I'm not a poet, but I would find myself journaling 164 00:08:03,420 --> 00:08:06,060 and writing out poems. 165 00:08:06,060 --> 00:08:09,580 Like Scott mentioned, I meditated on scripture. 166 00:08:10,540 --> 00:08:13,300 God kept reminding me not to worry. 167 00:08:13,300 --> 00:08:16,900 Consider the lilies, consider the birds, 168 00:08:16,900 --> 00:08:20,380 just stay fixed on him and let him do the work. 169 00:08:20,380 --> 00:08:22,980 And at that time, the only thing that I really felt 170 00:08:22,980 --> 00:08:27,420 that I could do was to surrender my life into his hands, 171 00:08:27,420 --> 00:08:29,380 and surrender is worship. 172 00:08:29,380 --> 00:08:33,140 He met me and exceeded my expectations. 173 00:08:33,140 --> 00:08:35,940 It also goes worth mentioning that my family 174 00:08:35,940 --> 00:08:39,700 was my earthly angels, doing all the hard work 175 00:08:39,700 --> 00:08:42,740 and holding my hands every step of the way. 176 00:08:42,740 --> 00:08:46,460 But praying the scriptures and worshiping through my trials 177 00:08:46,460 --> 00:08:50,040 have led me to this new place in my life 178 00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:52,800 where my inner thoughts are not just mine, 179 00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:56,360 they are now conversations between me and my maker. 180 00:08:56,360 --> 00:08:59,420 And I can consider it joy to have gone through 181 00:08:59,420 --> 00:09:04,180 the hard times because of how good God was through it. 182 00:09:04,180 --> 00:09:08,300 So when I consider how to love God with all my heart, 183 00:09:08,300 --> 00:09:11,240 my soul, my mind, and my strength, 184 00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:13,540 I always think of dancing. 185 00:09:13,540 --> 00:09:16,420 I want to share it and I want to share the joy 186 00:09:16,420 --> 00:09:18,460 that I receive from it. 187 00:09:18,460 --> 00:09:21,220 I may not always have the option to dance 188 00:09:21,220 --> 00:09:25,240 the way that I do now, so while I am able, 189 00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:29,460 I will give him my all and the very best of my first fruits. 190 00:09:30,860 --> 00:09:33,380 Andy brought to light last week the fact that 191 00:09:33,380 --> 00:09:37,060 people need people, and this work of caring for 192 00:09:37,060 --> 00:09:40,820 and loving one another is good and proper worship. 193 00:09:40,820 --> 00:09:43,700 So I think there may be some people who would like 194 00:09:43,700 --> 00:09:48,700 to incorporate some movement, but just aren't sure how. 195 00:09:48,700 --> 00:09:52,180 And so towards the end here, I'm gonna lead us through 196 00:09:52,180 --> 00:09:55,540 a communal worship experience, combining prayer, 197 00:09:55,540 --> 00:09:58,460 music, and movement, but full disclosure, 198 00:09:58,460 --> 00:10:01,940 you are not required to move if you do not feel 199 00:10:01,940 --> 00:10:04,660 comfortable with it, or if you don't feel 200 00:10:04,660 --> 00:10:07,140 physically able at this time. 201 00:10:07,140 --> 00:10:09,980 We are all from different places and we all have 202 00:10:09,980 --> 00:10:13,460 different abilities, and I respect that this could be 203 00:10:13,460 --> 00:10:16,540 foreign to some of you, and I hope then that this is 204 00:10:16,540 --> 00:10:18,660 a safe place that you could maybe take in 205 00:10:18,660 --> 00:10:20,660 a new way to worship. 206 00:10:20,660 --> 00:10:23,620 I was mindful to try and keep it as inclusive as possible. 207 00:10:23,620 --> 00:10:26,980 You guys get to stay in your seats, simple hand motions, 208 00:10:26,980 --> 00:10:29,500 you don't even have to move your elbows. 209 00:10:29,500 --> 00:10:30,840 Okay, okay, okay. 210 00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:35,840 And I just think, isn't it interesting that the Bible 211 00:10:36,500 --> 00:10:39,060 talks about the hand of God, right? 212 00:10:39,060 --> 00:10:43,680 Like, does God really have hands like we do? 213 00:10:43,680 --> 00:10:46,740 I mean, Greg has showed us what angels look like, 214 00:10:46,740 --> 00:10:50,380 and they are not in human form, so sometimes I think 215 00:10:50,380 --> 00:10:54,580 this must be a reminder for us, and a reminder 216 00:10:54,580 --> 00:10:56,340 that they can be our instruments. 217 00:10:57,620 --> 00:11:01,800 So we're here when Marissa shared, she put on this 218 00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:05,060 really funny clip before she spoke about this woman 219 00:11:05,060 --> 00:11:07,580 that was worshiping and what she was doing, 220 00:11:07,580 --> 00:11:10,380 like holding the TV, right? 221 00:11:10,380 --> 00:11:12,660 She had a little bit of that. 222 00:11:12,660 --> 00:11:15,260 I mean, that's my jam, that's what I love to do. 223 00:11:15,260 --> 00:11:17,220 I love doing all of those silly things that were 224 00:11:17,220 --> 00:11:20,020 in that video, everything except I didn't understand 225 00:11:20,020 --> 00:11:21,200 the light bulbs. 226 00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:23,480 Didn't understand the light bulbs, I've never done 227 00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:26,420 light bulbs, I'm not sure what this means, but. 228 00:11:26,420 --> 00:11:29,900 That's the whole point, is there really is no right or wrong. 229 00:11:29,900 --> 00:11:32,740 Right, like, if someone wants to light bulb it up, 230 00:11:32,740 --> 00:11:34,380 light bulb it up, right? 231 00:11:34,380 --> 00:11:36,940 There's no right or wrong. 232 00:11:36,940 --> 00:11:40,700 We are showing God all of our affection, it's for him, 233 00:11:40,700 --> 00:11:43,300 it's not for everyone else. 234 00:11:43,300 --> 00:11:47,740 So I know personally when I first started at Heritage Church, 235 00:11:47,740 --> 00:11:51,480 I was unsure of how or when or in what way 236 00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:53,660 I was supposed to lift my hands. 237 00:11:53,660 --> 00:11:57,020 I certainly did not want to do it wrong, 238 00:11:57,020 --> 00:12:00,020 but I also felt this deep desire to try. 239 00:12:00,020 --> 00:12:02,660 It was within me to want to lift my hands, 240 00:12:02,660 --> 00:12:05,220 but well maybe I should do it when she does it, 241 00:12:05,220 --> 00:12:08,020 and maybe I should put it down when she puts her hand down. 242 00:12:08,020 --> 00:12:11,820 So let me tell you that you may lift your hands 243 00:12:11,820 --> 00:12:14,740 in the moment you feel like it, and in the way 244 00:12:14,740 --> 00:12:17,260 that means something to you. 245 00:12:17,260 --> 00:12:20,500 Psalm 141, may the lifting up of my hands 246 00:12:20,500 --> 00:12:23,240 be like the evening sacrifice. 247 00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:26,860 So let's just go over some of that and just kind of 248 00:12:26,860 --> 00:12:28,540 break down that wall, right? 249 00:12:28,540 --> 00:12:33,300 So you can put your hands out, open hands are very 250 00:12:33,300 --> 00:12:34,660 clear message, right? 251 00:12:34,660 --> 00:12:37,780 Open hands, I'm opening my heart. 252 00:12:37,780 --> 00:12:41,080 So something as simple as this, you can put them down here, 253 00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:43,260 you can put them here, you can put them up high, 254 00:12:43,260 --> 00:12:46,700 you can go all the way and stretch them all the way up. 255 00:12:46,700 --> 00:12:49,660 It doesn't matter, it's just a symbol of an open heart, right? 256 00:12:49,660 --> 00:12:53,340 Sometimes I like to put my hands out in front of me 257 00:12:53,340 --> 00:12:56,060 if maybe there's something I'm holding onto 258 00:12:56,060 --> 00:12:57,860 that I need to give to him. 259 00:12:57,860 --> 00:13:00,860 Maybe I just put that out in my hands 260 00:13:00,860 --> 00:13:04,060 and I offer it as a sacrifice, right? 261 00:13:04,060 --> 00:13:06,140 These are things that we can just very easily 262 00:13:06,140 --> 00:13:07,540 do with our hands. 263 00:13:07,540 --> 00:13:10,580 Sometimes putting our hands in that upward motion 264 00:13:10,580 --> 00:13:13,860 is just that feeling of giving him praise, 265 00:13:13,860 --> 00:13:15,660 giving him glory, right? 266 00:13:15,660 --> 00:13:18,500 And you can put them wherever you want. 267 00:13:18,500 --> 00:13:22,540 Again, it really doesn't matter, it's what matters to you, 268 00:13:22,540 --> 00:13:24,680 it's the purpose from within. 269 00:13:24,680 --> 00:13:27,340 Sometimes fists can be very powerful 270 00:13:27,340 --> 00:13:29,580 when you're thinking about the strength of God 271 00:13:29,580 --> 00:13:32,440 and him needing to break through something, right? 272 00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:37,440 Or he is so powerful that you declare that with your fist. 273 00:13:39,380 --> 00:13:42,260 You can put your hands together if you're comfortable here 274 00:13:42,260 --> 00:13:43,420 and some prayer hands. 275 00:13:43,420 --> 00:13:45,780 There's lots of things that we can do 276 00:13:45,780 --> 00:13:49,260 that you would think of that I wouldn't think of. 277 00:13:49,260 --> 00:13:51,580 There is no right and wrong. 278 00:13:51,580 --> 00:13:54,220 So we are going to try something new. 279 00:13:54,220 --> 00:13:57,180 I've never done this before. 280 00:13:57,180 --> 00:14:00,540 I'm going to give you guys some hand motions 281 00:14:00,540 --> 00:14:03,620 and I'm going to have my daughter Grace come up here 282 00:14:03,620 --> 00:14:07,020 and she's going to do those hand motions with you. 283 00:14:07,020 --> 00:14:10,260 I would like to do some dancing 284 00:14:10,260 --> 00:14:14,620 just so that I can show you how I use movement and worship. 285 00:14:14,620 --> 00:14:16,840 And so it will be kind of a communal thing. 286 00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:18,860 We'll all dance around a little bit, 287 00:14:18,860 --> 00:14:20,280 do some hand motions with you, 288 00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:22,700 but ultimately we'll just kind of create 289 00:14:22,700 --> 00:14:24,840 a one of a kind experience. 290 00:14:26,020 --> 00:14:28,420 And the song that I picked for this was a song, 291 00:14:28,420 --> 00:14:30,660 I Speak Jesus. 292 00:14:30,660 --> 00:14:35,140 I love this because it's such a prayerful song. 293 00:14:35,140 --> 00:14:39,060 So we have an opportunity to kind of use our hands 294 00:14:39,060 --> 00:14:43,020 in an attitude of prayer and incorporating prayer 295 00:14:43,020 --> 00:14:46,100 and music and movement all together. 296 00:14:46,100 --> 00:14:49,380 So as we head into that time, 297 00:14:49,380 --> 00:14:53,260 and it is such a time of prayer and praying for one another, 298 00:14:53,260 --> 00:14:55,220 go ahead and fix into your mind, 299 00:14:55,220 --> 00:14:57,940 maybe there's a person that you've been praying 300 00:14:57,940 --> 00:15:00,480 for a community, it could be Greenbush 301 00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:02,260 as we pray for them every week. 302 00:15:02,260 --> 00:15:04,740 If you don't know who to pray for, pray for Greenbush. 303 00:15:04,740 --> 00:15:06,900 Or pray for those that are in authority. 304 00:15:06,900 --> 00:15:09,220 Pray for your community or your neighborhood 305 00:15:09,220 --> 00:15:12,420 or a specific neighbor if they come to mind. 306 00:15:12,420 --> 00:15:17,420 And yeah, and let's try it, shall we? 307 00:15:17,420 --> 00:15:19,580 We're going to move this table out of the way 308 00:15:19,580 --> 00:15:22,860 so that I can maybe move a little bit bigger. 309 00:15:22,860 --> 00:15:27,860 Grace, you can come on up here. 310 00:15:30,340 --> 00:15:31,500 Do you want my notebook? 311 00:15:40,740 --> 00:15:42,420 Wheels. 312 00:15:42,420 --> 00:15:45,580 Isn't that really nice of Greg to move the table for me? 313 00:15:45,580 --> 00:15:47,180 He doesn't like to move the table. 314 00:15:47,180 --> 00:15:51,020 He doesn't like to move the table back. 315 00:15:51,020 --> 00:15:53,420 I want him to move the table for me. 316 00:15:53,420 --> 00:15:55,020 I'll find the page for you. 317 00:15:59,580 --> 00:16:01,540 Maybe I'll find the page for you. 318 00:16:02,940 --> 00:16:04,900 I don't know where the page is, Grace. 319 00:16:06,020 --> 00:16:07,500 It's in here somewhere. 320 00:16:07,500 --> 00:16:10,460 Actually, I think it's in the other notebook. 321 00:16:10,460 --> 00:16:12,060 Find the other one. 322 00:16:12,060 --> 00:16:16,500 Okay, so let me teach you some hand motions, yes? 323 00:16:16,500 --> 00:16:20,260 Okay, so the line is, I just want, 324 00:16:20,260 --> 00:16:22,180 or I want to speak the name of Jesus. 325 00:16:22,180 --> 00:16:25,060 So I, we put our hands here 326 00:16:25,060 --> 00:16:28,420 as though it is from within our soul, right? 327 00:16:28,420 --> 00:16:31,660 I just want to speak, so our hands go to our mouth, 328 00:16:31,660 --> 00:16:33,140 the name of Jesus. 329 00:16:33,140 --> 00:16:36,340 So we're putting that name of Jesus out, yeah? 330 00:16:36,340 --> 00:16:39,420 I just want to speak the name of Jesus. 331 00:16:39,420 --> 00:16:42,620 And then it says over every heart, 332 00:16:42,620 --> 00:16:47,620 so over every heart and every mind. 333 00:16:47,620 --> 00:16:49,540 And then we'll just hold our hands 334 00:16:49,540 --> 00:16:51,220 on our heart and our mind. 335 00:16:51,220 --> 00:16:54,660 And this is a great opportunity to pray for exactly that, 336 00:16:54,660 --> 00:16:57,300 the hearts and minds of those that you're thinking of. 337 00:16:57,300 --> 00:17:00,340 And then we're just gonna do some simple prayer hands, 338 00:17:00,340 --> 00:17:04,260 because I know there is peace within your presence. 339 00:17:04,260 --> 00:17:06,940 Once again, I speak Jesus. 340 00:17:08,140 --> 00:17:10,780 So every time there is a verse that says, 341 00:17:10,780 --> 00:17:14,140 I just want to speak the name of Jesus, 342 00:17:14,140 --> 00:17:15,060 this is what you do. 343 00:17:15,060 --> 00:17:17,980 Even if the lyrics change, 344 00:17:17,980 --> 00:17:20,940 your hand motions will remain the same. 345 00:17:20,940 --> 00:17:23,100 Grace will do them with you. 346 00:17:23,100 --> 00:17:24,940 I speak Jesus, right? 347 00:17:24,940 --> 00:17:27,540 And then there's a section that says, 348 00:17:27,540 --> 00:17:29,940 your name is power, your name is healing, 349 00:17:29,940 --> 00:17:31,580 your name is life. 350 00:17:31,580 --> 00:17:34,820 So we will do a fist for your name is power. 351 00:17:34,820 --> 00:17:37,220 And if you want to double fist it, right? 352 00:17:37,220 --> 00:17:38,420 If you want to whoop it, 353 00:17:38,420 --> 00:17:39,900 you can do whatever you want there. 354 00:17:39,900 --> 00:17:42,900 Your name is power, your name is healing. 355 00:17:42,900 --> 00:17:44,220 Let's put our hands out 356 00:17:44,220 --> 00:17:46,940 and declare that healing for ourselves. 357 00:17:46,940 --> 00:17:48,900 And then we lift it up 358 00:17:48,900 --> 00:17:50,420 and we're gonna wave it back and forth. 359 00:17:50,420 --> 00:17:51,820 Your name is life. 360 00:17:51,820 --> 00:17:53,220 Yes. 361 00:17:53,220 --> 00:17:54,060 Okay. 362 00:17:54,060 --> 00:17:56,860 Then it says, break every stronghold. 363 00:17:56,860 --> 00:17:59,060 So we're just gonna go ahead and, 364 00:17:59,060 --> 00:18:01,180 yeah, punch our fist into our hand, 365 00:18:01,180 --> 00:18:02,820 break every stronghold, 366 00:18:02,820 --> 00:18:04,420 shine through the shadows. 367 00:18:04,420 --> 00:18:06,460 Let's get some jazz hands in there. 368 00:18:06,460 --> 00:18:07,300 Yes. 369 00:18:07,300 --> 00:18:09,820 And then burn like a fire. 370 00:18:09,820 --> 00:18:11,700 We're gonna make some flames coming up. 371 00:18:11,700 --> 00:18:13,100 Yes. 372 00:18:13,100 --> 00:18:16,100 And that's all that you guys have to do, yeah? 373 00:18:16,100 --> 00:18:18,060 So let's do it one more time. 374 00:18:18,060 --> 00:18:22,260 I just want to speak the name of Jesus 375 00:18:22,260 --> 00:18:25,940 over every heart and every mind. 376 00:18:26,940 --> 00:18:30,940 Because I know there is peace within your presence. 377 00:18:30,940 --> 00:18:33,140 I speak Jesus. 378 00:18:33,140 --> 00:18:37,020 And the other part says, your name is power. 379 00:18:37,020 --> 00:18:39,420 Your name is healing. 380 00:18:39,420 --> 00:18:41,580 Your name is life. 381 00:18:41,580 --> 00:18:46,500 Break every stronghold. 382 00:18:46,500 --> 00:18:49,020 Shine through the shadows. 383 00:18:49,020 --> 00:18:51,260 Burn like a fire. 384 00:18:51,260 --> 00:18:52,340 Yes. 385 00:18:52,340 --> 00:18:53,460 Okay. 386 00:18:53,460 --> 00:18:55,900 Well, I'm gonna take this microphone off 387 00:18:55,900 --> 00:18:59,180 and that way you don't have to hear my heavy breathing, right? 388 00:19:00,380 --> 00:19:02,020 Gracie, you wanna just come right up there? 389 00:19:02,020 --> 00:19:12,020 I'm glad you found your name.
