The place of devastation can also be the place of resurrection! No one raises there hand to volunteer for this type of pain however because of the enormous purpose that God has placed inside you, you must drink the cup!

What you are going through seems incomprehensible! This trial is not only for you but also for someone else. I know this statement confronts our embedded theology, but it is true. We were taught to believe that it is never about you and it's always for someone else, however God is concerned about you. God loves you!

If don't grow from this trial you are likely to repeat it. You should gleam, be aware and develop from your circumstances, or you will recycle them into something else. Same issue but different package!

God has invested too much in you, for you not to win! He can not wait for you to shift everything necessary for your expansion; sometimes He will shift things on your behalf!

In this transition you will feel the devastation, because it a place of the unfamiliarity and it excruciating pain.

There are four things that you can count on in this place of turmoil.

1. You are guaranteed to walk alone.

2. You must drink the cup.

3. The transition (transformation) will be alot quicker, than the anguish.

4. You will experience victory and you will bring others with you!

No matter how bad you wish to control the situation, God wants a Surrendered Yes for the purposes of His will.

Here is what Jesus said in His devastating place, He asked three times can this cup pass.

Matthew 26:38-39

38 Then He said to them, "My soul is exceedingly sorrowful, even to death. Stay here and watch with Me." 39 He went a little farther and fell on His face, and prayed, saying, "O My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from Me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as You will."

Jesus Yielded to the will of God and endured the process. Some may be saying I would obey the will of God, if I knew what what it was! I hear you, even Jesus asked three times. Did you notice that God never answered Him.

The scholar Dr. Renita Weems would say, what do you do when God is silent?

I am willing to suggest that God is not silent in your situation. You already know what to do and it has been confirmed. You don't need another sign, so stop asking God can this cup pass.

Jesus knew the will of the Father, He did not want to endure the process. Please know that Jesus is right there with you in the midst of your pain and He has already experienced what you feel.


Your endurance is going to birth an exceeding glory inside you, endure the labor and go through the process! You can stop the process and carry a full term baby for 40 years. The baby is nine months and your body can't handle carrying the child any longer. You are putting your body (body of Christ) in more pain and soon you will bust.

God meets us in the midst of pain, and then exposes who we are. This exposure leads us to total surrender by experiencing God's love and brings about the ultimate revelation of who God is. If you are willing to endure, listed below are some nuggets.

Once the trial is over you will have more revelation and understanding.

In the book "Creative Encounter" Howard Thurman states: that "In an authentic religious experience the individual is totally involved." The central fact in religious experience is the awareness of meeting God. Sometimes it is an encounter, confrontation and sometimes a sense of presence. The individual is exposed to the direct knowledge of the ultimate, in which the individual receives a clear immediate and often distinct revelation. In the religious experience realization makes the difference.

Point 1: Walking Alone

This cup has been exclusively prepared for you and it was never designed to be a shared cup. If your friends woke up and answered your telephone call, they still will not have the answer. They may have experienced a similar situation but the details of your trial have been contoured just for you.

What would happen if the disciples stayed awake? They still could not comprehend how to assists because they did not realize extent of own their bondage. People can't escort you to a place that they have never been.

Harriet Tubman said it best "I freed thousands of slaves. I could have freed thousands more, if they had known they were slaves."

Liberation is a process!

Point 2: Drink the cup

So what is my answer, can this cup pass? No,drink the cup!

Face your challenge, stop running from the pain, and drink the cup. What is the worse thing that could happen? You are already in pain! You have spent most of your time in anguish over the cup, that you forgot the promises of God.

Go though the process. Often times the pain feels so overwhelming that the promise gets diminished and feels afar off. Once you drink the cup, you will be strengthened.

Point 3 Your transformation will be a (quick work)

Once Jesus yielded to his destiny, the bible records that immediately He woke up the disciples

Matthew 26:46

International Standard Version

Get up! Let's go! See, the one who is betraying me is near!"

Can you imagine Jesus asking God three times? Jesus also asked the disciples to stay awake and pray. Once Jesus got the revelation that there is no negotiation with God. He decided to drink the cup and He made a declaration "Get Up." I decree right now your spirit will "Get Up!"

Here is how it sounds in ebonics: Jesus yelled "Get Up and let's go." That was the gangster side of Jesus, I am sure He thought to Himself, tricks are for kids, (man up.) If you are rolling with me, let's go to the streets and Don't be tardy for the party. I'm the biggest BOSS that you seen thus far. Sorry Rick Ross lol

You will gain a new boldness once you accept the responsibility of your call. Then things will happen quickly!

After all the years of Jesus ministry, all the people that were healed and all the mountain top experiences. Now Jesus was at the point of transformation. You have gone as high as you can go from that low place.

In order for you to catapult into your fullness and walk in the vocation of your calling, you must drink the cup.

It took Jesus 33 years to build His ministry and it took God 3 days to complete His work. All this time God has been preparing you for this confrontation, go to the party! Oh, and where your best suit! Place on the whole Armor of God. Glory

The process of Jesus transition was three days. If you do not drink the cup, please tell me your turn around time for coming out?

Point 4 Victory for you & for others!

Jesus did drink of the cup and he also died, He was buried but early on Sunday Morning He got up with all power in His hand. That will preach right there!

His death did not only benefit but it also gave Him the keys to unlock and release bondages from others.

Surrender to the will of the father! You will die and you will surly be resurrected with a glorified body, as in the image of he Son of Man. You will also have the authority to speak over others, in their places of devastation that they may live.

Surrender, Yield and Say Yes to the will of God!

Matthew 6:33

But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.

The DPI conference was awesome and many lives have been transformed. I heard so many testimonies from the delegates, you must read their faith walk below. During this time of economic hardship, the saints traveled to Puerto Rico with little, to hear one word from God. My God! Their faith was matched with miracles. Two consistent phrases from everyone is that their life will never be the same and this has been the best Dancing Preacher's ever! Only God can do more with less.

We had dance evangelism on the streets and many people were saved and lives have been changed. Puerto Rico has been declared for Jesus and we are once again mapping out the Nations with our feet!!!!!!!!



Dancing Preachers came to worship from Jamaica, Bahamas, Barbados, London, Canada, Israel, Trinidad, Africa, Brazil, Turks, New Mexico, Iowa, New York, Washington Dc, Detroit, Georgia, Baltimore, Florida, South Carolina, Texas, Alabama, Virginia, St Louis, California, Las Vegas and other places. WHEW! Send the nations to worship together Jehovah!



Thank you so much for your prayers, they kept me strong the entire trip. Commissioner Johnson when I opened your email in Puerto Rico I was so blessed, thank you my friend.

In seminary, my Old Testament Professor asked the class a thought provoking question, "Is God really good all the time?" Dr Mafico after my experience in Puerto Rico and all the supernatural things God did for me, I would have to emphatically say, YES!!! A RESOUNDING YES! God is good all the time and all the time God is good!

Thank you Jesus over and over again for your faithfulness. You made ways out of no way. God you parted the red sea and brought a nation out of bondage into the marvelous light. Thank you for exceeding my expectations in Puerto Rico and providing an overflow in every area.

Commissioner Roberto, Thank you for opening up San Juan and giving Dancing Preachers International the keys to your city. Thank you to the Condo Plaza Hotel staff and general manager. The 4-diamond hotel was absolutely exquisite~ tailor made for Kings & Priests and your service was phenomenal. It was such a delight working with your entire staff.

Official DPI Recap!

I had three most memorable moments. First, We met on the beach every morning. Men and women walking the beach who were not conference attendees joined us for prayer and to give their lives to Christ. It was awesome to see fathers and sons return to the Father, gang members yield to Jesus and families asking for prayer. What a mighty God we serve. We had a baptismal service in Puerto Rico on the beach!



Second, was the street evangelism on Saturday night. It was crazy, we had free worship! Many of the Islanders could not speak English but they knew that they experienced the presence of the Lord. As a result many gave their and lives to Christ and received prayer.

Third, was watching this young lady dance from her wheel chair every night. She said this wheel chair can not stop my worship. My God, what is our excuse for not giving God all the glory?




Workshops were incredible: The Breaker Anointing & Deliverance

Governing the Winds

My Ministry or God's Ministry

Interpretive/Lyrical Choreography - Part I

So, You Think You Can Dance?

Worship Dance Choreography for Youth

Stir Up the Gifts - Utilizing Each Gift for the Body and Activate Them



Wednesday Dancing Preachers Welcome Reception: Opening night we held a welcome reception where the delegates had an opportunity to meet and greet one another. The evening service was filled with giving thanks. I spoke about tearing down traditionalism and old systems that were not needful and whom the Son sets free is free indeed. God has called us to be distributors of wealth and resources.

Thursday General Session: Elder Tapika gave a riveting word about governing the four winds through prayer. My God what a revelation!

Thursday Evening General Session: Apostle Elizabeth Hairston was the anointed powerful speaker to lead us into the Holy of Holies. We had an impartation service and many of the dance ministers received a prophetic word.

Friday Morning General Session: Rev Stephanie Butler gave a Rhema word about "Strategic Takeover!" It was straight from the Throne of God. Rev. Stephanie I want to hear that sermon again. It was truly POWERFUL!

Friday Night General Session: Prophetess Riley's message spoke to our healing and God giving us back the keys! An awesome prophetic move took place and deliverance was the evidence.

Saturday Morning General Session: I spoke on the vision of the International Dance Commission (IDC) and dance ministry leaders and organizations working together to edify the body and equip the saints. Every person was encouraged to understand their gifts and to lay down fear, traditionalism, cultural divides, competition, jealousy and envy to attain a higher goal.

Saturday Evening General Session: Dancing Preachers "Taking Authority." This was the night many waited for. The street evangelism was incredible. We danced and marched from the Condado Plaza Resort to the Ocean View square. There we were greeted by Commissioner Robert and a wonderful cultural expression of Puerto Rican Folk dance. Afterwards we were presented with an awesome demonstration of historical dance.
