Expression, twirling, passion, and leaping and warfare all combined in an intricate eruption of dancing. I’ve heard of people getting vision from God before, but never experienced it myself. I’ve heard before that Youth with a Mission can be a very charismatic experience also, but never quite understood the definition of it until we as a whole base decided to pray together.
The leaders told us one day that they had a handful of people that were supposed to attend the school, but never came for various reasons. We all decided to come together and pray for them. One of the girls on the list of people’s who wasn’t at our schools name was Mykell. Her name stuck out to me boldly, so I felt God wanted me to pray for her.
As I prayed, God showed me a vision. I saw a girl fighting against a tall and strong brick wall; it was too overwhelming for her. But she sought out God and prayed, and suddenly she was dancing in front of the brick wall. It was the most beautiful dance ever, and as she danced the wall crumbled mightily before her. She leaped over the destroyed and weak wall and danced before God.
It was barely a week later that Mykell came to the DTS, and we all welcomed her open arms. I talked with her about what track she was going to be in, and she was signed up for film. I told her of my vision, and she explained that she was a dancer and gymnast for years. My very own heart leaped, God showed me her dancing.
Its so crazy how God SPEAKS. How He has a purpose and plan for every single person! It wasn’t long until she changed her art track to dancing, which was even more unfathomable. We all may have things that hold us back, but God is right there to encourage us to dance and fight and break every single stronghold down.
