The year of 2005 was a foundational year of planting, building and writing the vision. Lets take a look at what God has done. Their were several local meetings held for the Georgia Dance Commission local chapter in 2005 at the Circle Stone Community center. We usually had approximately 40 dance ministers in attendance. From these meetings the International Dance Commission was chapter formulated by Sabrina McKenzie.

The first International meeting took place inside New Birth Missionary Baptist Church.The first officers appointed Danese Turner, Shantil Costen and Sherida Lovelace.

In 2005 The International Dance Commission was formed to bring worship and arts ministries together through out the Nations! Join us www.gadancecommission.org The Dancing Preachers International Conference was held in Atlanta with over 60 renowned guest preachers, 30 vendors and 20 Nations in one location.

2005 we had four local meetings and held two conferences. The conferences were entitled "Called To Dance" & "Dancing Preachers International."

In this first year we received our first proclamation from the governor of Georgia declaring September 7, 2005 "Liturgical Dance Day." Our first workshop for IDC was a community clean up day, where the youth assisted us in keeping Dekalb, County beautiful. We also held dance classes and had an evening of impartation.

Many of you have been experiencing great pains in your body, finances, job, family and ministry. Perhaps it seems that you are under a great attack? If this is you, then you are in the right place--The Ninth month!!!!!!!!!! You are giving birth to those visions that God spoke over you some time ago. You are in the travail, and the ninth month is the most intense time. You are sowing in tears but you shall reap in joy.

Push for your baby is crowning! I know the pain seems unbearable. SPEAK THE WORD ALOUD- -the word is your spiritual epidural, and you must push. The vision is yet for an appointed time, and the time is now, so PUSH! Trust God and WATCH your enemies be scattered.

Saturday Night:

Elder William Murphy concluded the conference with a father's blessing over all the delegates using Joshua 3: 7, "Sanctify yourselves, for tomorrow the Lord will do wonders among you."

He pronounced the apostleship order over Sabrina mcKenzie's life and there was a tremendous outpouring of deliverance, healing, and financial breakthrough. The conference was Debt free!

Dancing Preachers Testimonies Miss Sabrina, I just want to send some words of encouragement your way. I want to send the kind of encouragement that lifts your spirits and brightens your day. I pray that the Lord strengthen you physically, restore you emotionally and revitalize you spiritually from the "birthing process" that had to take place in order to deliver such a wonderfully successful Dancing Preachers Heaven on Earth conference. I plea the blood of Jesus over your life, your home, your family and your car that the protection of God would travel with you; I bind accident demons and devils that would seek to orchestrate your demise; I speak health into your body and command that everything in your physical man line up with the very word of God!!!! May the very presence of God envelope you and may the blessings of God violently track you down and May His countenance shine upon you! I can't even begin to thank you for the BIG part you played in such a small person's life.... I know my place in the Kingdom now; I'm taking my rightful place as a Gate Keeper; I'm laying hands on my husband and knowing I have power in my marriage..... God has done such a purifying sanctification in me that everything is NEW. You will never know just how many lives you've touched, altered, delivered and set free through your ministry. Not even seeing you dance, but watching you operate in such humility and such power and strength has ministered to my very soul. Just know that I love you from afar and I will NEVER forget September 7-12, 2005. Myself and many many others are patiently awaiting the info we need to order tapes and videos but until then - I'm praying that you get some well deserved rest and some much needed time with your family "away from it all".... Lord willing, I will see you in the Bahamas - with the rest of my team whom I've mad godly jealous that they didn't press their way to Atlanta this year...... It is clear that I was the "Chosen One" for the impartation. What I received far exceeds any dollar amount ~ I'm on FIRE for God like never before! Love you so much, "TASH" :-) Natasha House WOW! I am amazed. I attended the conference this pst > weekend and I came back a changed woman of God. I > learned so much about myself and about the ministry > of dance. > I thank you and the speakers from the bottom of my > heart, I was blessed this weekend! > If you are going to order more shirts and/or bags, > please e-mail me due to the fact that I tried to > purchase them and you had sold out. GLORY BE TO GOD! > I thank you for making this possible, may GOD bless > you today and always! > Tanya Ruff > Dearest Sabrina, I just wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed the conference. As a dance leader myself, I truly needed all that was offered and my cup and saucer is still running over. I have been reviewing my notes and scriptures given daily!. As soon as I returned home (Valdosta, Ga). The devil was waiting on me. I had opposition like never before every where I turned. I manage 2 Curves fitness clubs and I had a possessed employee attack myself and the rest of the staff with witchcraft, I had a manipulative Absalom at the other location and then my Absalom/Saul individual on the ministry team just came at me with a venegeance! I'm now equipped to get some order in the ministry. Myself and the 2 dancers that attended with me are pressing forward. And though offenses, persecution, and opposition have come boldly at us we are yet standing strong. I wish I had your message for leaders and directors on tape because that msg blessed me like you wouldn't believe! I know I told you this in person but it did. Thank you for being so humble, touchable, and honest. My prayers are with you and your family. I can't wait to see you again. Temetrece Anointed Arts New Life Ministries Sis. Sabrina: Thank you, Thank you and Thank you again. The word of God says give honor where honor is due. Thank you for your obedience to follow the leading of the Holy Sprit and host the Dancing Preachers conference. It was truly a blessing to be able to be in the midst of worshipers and experience God's presence. At home I am always in ministry mode and pouring out. I was past due for a refill. Even Jesus had to pull away from the crowds and spend time with His father. Dancing preachers was my pulling away time. My prayer life has been restored and my love for the word. I have been in a wilderness season for sometime now. I praise God because the conference is just what I needed to give me a charge to forge ahead in ministry. There is no one thing that stood out for me at the conference. But I think that the divine deposit that I received was evidence of God's greatness. The teaching was great. The Nightly services were wonderful. Not only did I receive a charge from the Lord but my entire team did. Our ministry on the Sunday was at another level. Your labor has not been in vain. Thank you for the travail and giving birth to the vision that birth others into their destiny. I pray that God will take you to deeper depth and higher heights in Him. I look forward to the next one. Much Love Sis. Natasha Johnson Sabrina, I would like to thank you for allowing God to birth out of you this conference. It was awesome! I've never been to a conference where all the speaker were on HOLY GHOST fire. They consumed their topic on which they spoke on. Every one who spoke-ministered. And they didn't just speak, they allowed God to direct them. I got a wealth of information. I made divine connections. The Lord birth back in me WORSHIP and ADMIRATION for Him. I went home-NOT THE SAME. An impartation took place in me. I'm not a dancer, but my spirit danced. My words when I write shall leap. I just wanted to take this opportunity to say thank you, thank you to your guest, thank you to the staff who was also very helpful in moving everyone and having a pleasant attitude, thank you to the people who danced. I'm a writer and I shall write. This conference blessed me. Be encouraged in the Lord. I will be back next year. Please email me when you schedule your next program so I can plan in advance. Kimberly Thomas-Bailey Good morning Sabrina, I just wanted to commend you on an excellent job you and your committee did in putting on a conference of that magnitude this weekend. I was thoroughly blessed, empowered and even changed in certain areas. The conference ministered to the whole man, Sprit, soul and body. So I just wanted to thank you for allowing the Lord to guide you and lead you in even choosing the topics. So I bless you and I know that God is going to continue to increase you more and more. Thank you again. Dear Sabrina, Just wanted you to know what a blessing the conference was to me. I truly received impartation from all of the classes that I attended. I have a greater desire to be the dance leader at our church that the Lord have called me to be. So many unanswered questioned were answered at the conference. God truly has anointed you for such a time as this and I'm looking forward to the next conference. Because of His love, Geneva p.s. You have a beautiful baby daughter!!! Dearest Minister Sabrina McKenzie, The conference did accomplish all that the Lord had planned. I have never experienced any dance conference on or with that level of teaching, preaching, order, sensitivity to the move of the Holy Spirit nor that level of anointing for the services held at the Hilton. I had the pleasure of meeting persons from throughout the world who I may not have had the pleasure of meeting otherwise. You called an unprecedented respect to God and the things of God. God allowed me to hear vendors say that they were not allowed to sell during workshops nor services at the Hilton Hotel. God was well pleased with you. The rewards that the Lord has for you will over take you. As I shared with you as I was planning to depart on Monday that I had lost a tiny sterling silver earring at some point during the conference. I searched everywhere. On the last nights service at the Hilton when the spirit of God was the highest, a woman turned to me and said, "I've been looking for you" she opened her hand and there was my earring. And what God said was, "What is important to you is important to me." He also said that in the midst of all that is going on there will be a return unto ME. You Sister Sabrina returned true worship unto the Lord. And finally, at the cathedral two women came into room 116 and asked if they could anoint my feet and pray for me. I agreed. I proceeded out with the other dancers. As I stepped unto the pulpit in the rear the Lord said, "Tonight the fire has two purposes, one to purify and the other to consume. I allowed you to cross the pulpit when no one was on it to purify it, if you cross it again I will consume anything that is not like me." The Lord said that He would grant grace if I would not run like a consuming fire but stand still and pray. For 5 (2005) means grace and we are in the dispensation of grace. So I stood with the feet that an angel of the house anointed, hidden off to the side for He said they don't see the fire which is behind them. Yes, I told Him that others would take on the spirit of offence because I did not move. The Lord's response was "I was not invited to the market place, will you too not fear me." Sis. Sabrina I fear the Lord and am held to a strict obedience. Never compromise your integrity nor your walk with the King. God is preparing you for a level that will surpass those who have discounted who you are with and to God. Let me know when you begin to PASTOR or take on a even greater leadership responsibility that God is about to bestow upon you. Humble before HIS throne, Pastor Franca Hello! On behalf of Power of Praise Dance Ministry, we would like to thank you for the conference this year. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and benefited greatly from the workshops. With the inpartation that we received, it has allowed our ministry to go to the next level. Although we knew dancing is ministry, we did not see the depth of it until we attended the conference. We wawnt to let you know how much we appreciate you and your ministry. You are truly a woman of destiny and purpose. Whateve, we can do to help in future endeavors, please let us know. Of course we will get permission from our leaders, but please know after that we are here to serve because we see and understand the importance of this ministry. We also see the vision God has given you and we believe in it. Please keep in touch and we will keep you and your ministry in our prayers. Sincerely Power of Praise Dance Ministry JaQuada Berry Thank you for the sacrifices and the hard work that you and the staff put together to make Dancing Preachers a success. I came to the conference alone, and I never felt like I was alone. I met many people who want to serve God. I am so ever greatful for the experiences, it was anointed and powerful. Since then, I was propelled into my destiny since attending the conference. I am holding an audition on Oct 15 for a tri-county Production to be held January 7, 2006. Please keep this event in your prayers. Thanks again for a jump start.... Yours in Christ, Wanda Mack Dear Sabrina, how can we thank the Lord for your obedience??? I trust that all is well with you and your family. It was an amazing experience being there at the Dancing Preachers conference. I'm sure people are telling you that we wanted more time for many of the classes! Your class, for example, could have been an all-day long seminar for me and many of us decided that we'd be in the Bahama's next June for sure! We're planning now. ! Love and much appreciation!

Lavinia Marshall Peace and Blessings Everybody, I want to tremendously thank everyone that financially supported my journey to Atlanta. Thank you for being obedient to God in your giving. It was truly a miracle and it was definitely meant for me to have been there. I have been transformed and my ministry is at a higher, deeper level because of what I experienced last week. It is too much to tell, but just know that God showed up, and experience the difference and the impact that Dance Theatre of the Gospel will have because of it. Dance Theatre of the Gospel will be ministering this Friday and Saturday night at Dance Mission in SF. Both shows begin at 8 pm. I love you all. Many Blessings,Jetaun Maxwell Hello, I want to express my sincere gratitude for the conference that you held. It brought about a transformation in my life and the ministry given to me. I bless God for your service to the Kingdom and I will keep you in my prayers. God Bless You. Cecilia

ATTENTION JOSEPH'S THE BUTLER REMEMBERS-- IT IS PIT TO PINNACLE TIME A word to you by Joni Ame! There are many of you who know that you are "Josephs"--both men and women. The Lord has given you dreams of success, in both business and ministry, and yet, you have seemingly come to dead- ends at every turn.

You've tried to step out into ministry, and you've tried to step out into business. When you failed alone, some of you even entered into agreements and partnerships with others in an effort to overcome what you thought were your own failures, and those situations also crumbled. You shook your head, and then said, "God, what have I done wrong?!"

Just as when Joseph was in prison, there are those who promised you that they would remember you and bring you into position when they succeeded. They, too, have forgotten you.

Timing belongs to the Lord alone. Although others have forgotten, the angelic "butlers" have been released and sent forth for such a time as this, and this is the season in which the "butler" remembers (Genesis 41) and brings you before the King! Just as it happened with Joseph, this is the time of "suddenlies"--sudden phone calls, letters, inheritances, ideas, etc. It is the timing of the Lord for your coming forth from pit to pinnacle, seemingly "overnight!"

You do not have to sell out to a "lesser god." You are not for sale, and you never were. You were bought with a price--the blood of the Lamb--and no one can match that!

There are resumes that were lost, people that have forgotten you, money and things stolen from you, and opportunities that were given to others that were meant to be yours. None of that matters. The Holy Spirit Himself will bring you to the remembrance of those who are to be a part of bringing you into your success story, and you will step into it seemingly "overnight." Remember, your success is not dependent upon man, but upon God.

"Therefore strengthen the hands which hang down, and the feeble knees, and make straight paths for your feet, so that what is lame may not be dislocated, but rather be healed. Pursue peace with all people, and holiness, without which no one will see the Lord: looking carefully lest anyone fall short of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up cause trouble..." --Hebrews 12:12-15

This is a time of coming into alignment for God's positioning. There is a divine positioning and repositioning taking place. Do not get caught up into the "paralysis of analysis" and miss your "moment." Be ready for instant change and be flexible so that the Lord may move and position you on the "chessboard of life"--into a position of success. Now would not be a good time to allow false humility to prevent you from promotion. Agree with God. Do not acquiesce your God-given opportunity to come into divine alignment and divine agreement with success.

In the midst of the turmoil of the world, remember, "...the kingdom of heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force" (Matthew 11:12). Continue to "wage war with the prophecies made concerning you" (I Timothy 1:18-19).

Go forward into your Promised Land! Position yourself to receive victory! Be cautious about the words you speak, and do not waste time in discussing the things or people of the past who "did you wrong" or let you down. We don't wrestle with people or the past (Ephesians 6:12), and we do not need to question or fight God. He is on our side and has good plans for us (Jeremiah 29:11)! It is time to step up to the plate and walk in them!

Do not look back! "Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward" All of what you have been through has been preparation "for such a time as this!" What you did was not wasted, but He wants you to know that it is HIM who does this. "...'Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,' Says the Lord of hosts." --Zechariah 4:6 Now, stand and see the glory of the Lord!

Before my spiritual mom and mentor Dr. Kovacs passed away, she was planning to come to Atlanta for a day of impartation with the dance ministries. After her passing away I was truly disappointed because I wanted to sit at her feet one more time. Dr. Kovacs is no longer Dancing Into the Anointing she is dancing In the Anointing.

Dr. Kovacs has traveled for 12 years imparting into Carolyn Nitto as her armourbearer, best friend, and daughter in the ministry. She came in the spirit of Elijah with a double portion of wisdom, strength, and power. What a time we had, bringing in 2006 year on our faces with an evening with the King.

Featured Keynote Speakers: Bishop Ellis, Prophtess Mattie Nottage, Apostle Venessa Battle, Pastor William Murphy III, Pastor Yulonda Lewis.

Before I recap the conference I would like to share with the you two prophetic words I received during the conference that changed my life:

Bishop Ellis preached about 2006 being the "Year of Reference." This will be the year that goes down in history as a major chapter in the lives of the saints. The things God manifests through your life will be referenced for your grandchildren, and childrens children. Look for God to move like never before, there are only 4 months left.

My awesome brother Lloyd Conley confirmed the word by sharing with me this revelation: I believe the time is now. 2006 is the year in which the Lord will begin the outpouring of His Glory in fulfillment of Joel 2:23, etc. He indicated to me in June of this year that the restoration of the Tabernacle of David is a strategic step in the fulfillment of this promise, the restoration of all things, and the last great harvest of souls. I believe that Dancing Preachers is at the forefront of the restoration of the Tabernacle of David.

The things that took place at Dancing Preachers supercede any workshop or natural experience. This is why we had to go through the storm. There were 600 delegates that survived the storms and made it to paradise. This was a conference based on the spiritual positioning of Joseph's from the Pit to the Palace. The pits in your life, are just the storms you will go through before you reach the palace (paradise).

Going to paradise was not a easy experience; However, it was spiritually. financially, physically and mentally costly. It will cost you everything!

Due to the rumors of the storms, the airlines canceled 5 speakers and my children's flights and delayed over one hundred delegates. Several people asked me to cancel or postpone the conference based on the storm, but God told me to have the conference no matter who was there. I had to push through every natural distraction that was presented before me and see into the spiritual high places.

We were warring against regional demons, principalities and rulers of darkness in high places. You have not seen warfare until you enter the mission fields for international travel. The spirit of baal was breaking and taking rank though all the airports.

Every airport serves as the spiritual and natural gateway for every city and the airlines determine who leaves the country and who stays. Whoever controls the airlines controls the airwaves. Whoever controls the airwaves determines the atmosphere that is set in the land. That is why the whole country was paralyzed when 911 took place. The prince of the air was on a rampage to kill, steal and destroy God's people through the air into the land. I beseech all of you to cover the the airports in your country in the blood of Jesus. Satan can not prevail against the blood. If he can place fear in your heart you will eventually abort your assignments. In the storm we were walking through the shadows of death.

Robin, Maragret and I went to my room and we began to break out into a warfare holy dance. We prophesied to the winds and commanded them to be still. We declared peace to the waters and traveling grace and mercies to every speaker and delegate. We took authority over baal and his friends.

It was just a shadow. Shadows were big and scary, but they are not real. The storm never touched down, but the appearance of the storm created fear in God's people. Remember: Your distractions are simply distractions. They can not abort, affect or change the assignment God purposed for your life. They are not even real. Stick with your assignment, Joseph! Praise God that the 5 speakers and the majority of the delegates pressed their way through the storm into the land (of paradise). The storm was never designed to hurt you, it was designed to increase your faith. What storm are you facing today? Whose report will you belive? Are you going to trust God or man? After every storm comes a new beginning. You are in the birthing month, where new life is born. Don't be afraid to start again!

You really had to be there to understand how awesome and sovereign the Lord showed himself through Dancing Preachers International "Kings & Priests." Every morning we had pure worship on the sunny beach overlooking the enormous ocean as descendants of Abraham. We were baptized all over again and renewed our relationship with the Father. We gave God the ministry He gave to us and every hidden and dark secret of our hearts. Our corporate desire was for the Lord to break us and circumcise us again.

Wednesday Night:

Pastor William Murphy preached that God has taken all of your hurts and pain and created Himself a mercy seat.

Thursday Night:

Prophetess Mattie Nottage preached about worshippers living in the holiness of God. It is time for the church to stop playing and the worshippers to operate in righteousness.

Friday Night:

was International Night. Pastor Higgins blessed us with an awesome presentation on Bahamian culture. On Saturday, Bishop Ellis spoke to us about the power of God through the dance and asked us pray a spiritual warfare prayer over our lives every day.

Saturday Night:

the Royal Banquet was more than exquisite. After we walked down the red carpet, the Lord prepared a 5- star meal for all the Kings & Priests. Pastor Yulonda Lewis encouraged us not to dance without the anointing.

Sunday Morning:

My God, My God! Apostle Venessa Battle taught about the Apostelship Order, and she released the battleaxe of war over us for the new level of ministry.

From Pastor Joyce Perry,

Sabrina, it's Joyce Perry, I want you to know how much I enjoyed your ministry in the Bahamas. I am sure that you do not know me by name, I am the dancer who gave you the world prayer cloth. I had heard that you were to be at Bibleway Church in South Carolina Oct.19 - 21. I may have the opportunity to come as a vendor. It would surely be good to see you again and bring our dance ministry as well. You have so much to give to the Kingdom. Thank you!

From Lakita Humber

No matter whom the speaker, teacher, or preacher was the same message resonated throughout the conference: You need a relationship with God! This may seem like common sense, but too many people are "playing church" and operating with no anointing. What is the purpose of your dance? Where is the fruit? Are people saved, set free, delivered and / or healed when you dance? Does the Pastor or woman of God have to press to preach after you dance or did your dance cause a shift in the atmosphere allowing the man or woman of God to flow effectively into the service? Each breakout session was taught was such passion as the instructors fervently deposited as much information as they could in the allotted time. Paneh Praise Dance & Mime Ministry, co- founder

From Stephanie Wright,

Hi Sabrina, I do hope you enjoyed some rest after we all left the Bahamas. It was a great conference. It was restoring, encouraging, delivering, freeing and truly led by the Holy Spirit. Thanks. I need two things. 1. I wanted to preregister for next year but no one was there when I went and I had to leave early Sunday. 2. I wanted to keep my word by sowing a seed. So can you tell me how I can accomplish both these task. Thanks

From Margaret Douglass and Robin Armond

In the words of Andre Crouch's song "My Tribute", I must ask, "How can I say thanks for all the things He has done for me?"

Truly, I give God all the glory and the entire honor for what He has done for me. God has a plan and a purpose for our lives and as we walk with Him, He will perfect the things that concern us. It was a set up! It was a set up! God will set you up so that He can bless you!

Well, Ms Robin, a dear friend, forwarded me an email with information about the Dancing Preachers International Conference 2006 in Nassau Bahamas. My spirit leaped in me. Dancing Preachers, ahhh that's where I needed to be. The information came at a time in my life when I felt God's tug at my heart to step out on faith and fulfill the vision He had placed in my spirit longggggggg ago.

I had been praying for God to reveal His next step for me. I began to talk with others about the conference and although people indicated that they would like to go, no one had committed. When I considered the finances, I wondered how it would be possible. I staggered at the finances, how I would be able to afford this, at this transition in my life.

Yet, God would not let the fervency leave my gut. Then, I got an idea, "Put in for a time-share for the Bahamas for the dates of the conference". Although I was told that to find a match would be highly improbable, it happened! The day I said to God, "You know Lord, you have put this thing in my spirit so strong, I have to go even if no one else goes", that was the very same day the man called me and said that he had found a match.

The villa ended up being one mile from the Atlantis, as the Bahamians say, "a 15-minute walk". Next, God moved on me to ask someone for assistance with my flight. The request was granted, all but a portion. And that I could manage. Well, Ms Robin called and said she didn't know about anyone else, but she knew she had to go.

We needed money for one more night in the Bahamas since the time-share stay ended Saturday night and the conference continued through Sunday. God blessed us with that. So we were set to go. God put in my spirit that He is going to give us favor with the transport to and from the Atlantis. And that he did! Here are a few of the miracles God did:

· God gave us an intercessor: When we arrived at the conference, as Robin and I pulled our suitcases behind us heading to our assignment, a custodian began to yell out to us, "no weapon formed against you will prosper. God is with you! Be yourself" She continued to call out scriptures of protection and blessings over us. All the words she yelled out were shared later by the speakers during sessions at the conference.

On the last day, she saw us again and came in during intercession to pray for us again. She asked where had we been, "I've been looking for you". She prayed and gave us scriptures for our departure and protection. Truly, God had our back!

· Favor with rides to from the Atlantis: one of the custodians at our villa, local Bahamians, and even the shuttle drivers at the Atlantis veered from their route to accommodate our needs). Our hours were long there and we had to take suitcases of garments, decorative items, etc. back and forth.

· God gave us favor with food. He added souls to the Kingdom! He allowed us to lead seven (7) people to the Lord during the conference (4 young men who were hanging around the lobby areas and 3 people at the villa) we witnessed to many others. We held prayer meetings and bible discussions at the villa with the staff.

· He blessed us to meet Sabrina and the awesome members of her conference working team. What an honor!

Thank you Sister Sabrina for your obedience!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Azuza Centennial represents a turn (shifting) taking place in the spirit realm. Their is a shifting take place right now on the earth. The spirit is a reflection the natural. What did not work for you yesterday will work for you today. What worked for you in the past season will not work for you now. Launch out into the deep and cast your nets on the other side.

Yesterday is gone and behold all things are new. Incline your ears to the father to receive your new direction. Lets come together on one accord and pray that the Lord will reveal Himself (Glory) through the body Christ in the earth. I love you and I am praying for you!!!!!!!!!!!

From Australia, our Brother Stephen Bennett:

In 2003 I was ministering at an apostolic conference in Georgia, USA. In the hotel room, the Lord gave me a prophecy that alluded to the Azusa Street Revival in 1906. It did not make full sense to me at the time when I shared it in the conference, but now we are actually in the 100-year anniversary of that outpouring of the Holy Spirit that affected the world.

The Lord remind me of it, and that from this year we will start to see the fulfillment of the latter rain outpouring of God's Spirit on earth in all its signs, wonders, miracles, healing and deliverance.

" In 1906, I gave my church in America a taste, a restoration taste of what is to come in the latter rain. A movement that effected generations, a movement that awakened, a movement that touched the world, broke down the walls of segregation, and swept in a great harvest. As I restore my apostles and prophets, 100 years on, from this place, I will spark a maturity of revival reformation that will lift up My voice, My heart, and release My glory into the nations.

As you have gathered in this place, I will spark those that are here and have been faithful to be here, to bring down the walls of segregation once and for all that grieves My church. I will release in you governing power to do this.

From this place of fire, I shall burn the dross from this nation and beyond from this state. As in Azusa Street, a fire is being released from here. It is different in that many will not see it at first saying, "Ok, it's just another conference," but I have planted my fire in your hearts.

My apostles and prophets have released you. I will unfold my plan maturely in you that I have released. It will become obvious, as you go from this place to your homes and territories as you find your place.

What I am doing in this century is not just to gather people to one location or place, but to release My glory onto the earth. You will see signs, miracles and wonders. I am not doing just a sudden thing when people will only come out of curiosity, but I am building you for the nations. I am building bases in cities and nations. My glory will be released to gather the lost and dying world. Be prepared, be aware as you have been faithful to Me, I have opened this door in this territory. This is the time in this century for the latter rain to pour down on My Church. As I awoke My people 100 years ago to walk through the world wars and prepare the way for restoration of My house, My tabernacle, I am re- awakening now.

This cause is an awakening. Be watchful, be ready, I have called you here. The new thing I have proposed for the nations is coming forth now - and shall you not know it?"

My Mentor Rev. James Orange "Leader"

It is with much regret that I report on February 16, 2007 the passing away of one of my mentors, Rev. James Orange, affectionately known as "Leader." I had the honor of meeting Rev. Orange when I ran for the State Senate in GA. My Uncle Elmer introduced us and his first words to me were, "Leader, what are you going to do for our community?" After a brief conversation with him, he gave me an AFL-CIO union endorsement and his full support.

Rev. Orange put me to work and immediately connected me with Rev. Joseph Lowery and the people's agenda. In overalls, he stood tall, big, proud and strong and you knew when his presence was in the room. You are missed!

There were 23 Countries and 42 States in attendance at Dancing Preachers International: The United States, The Philippines, Jamaica, Barbados, Aruba, Israel, Antigua, Korea, Japan, Canada, Congo, Brazil, Trinidad, St Thomas, Mexico, Russia, London, Aruba, Bermuda, Virgin Islands, Bahamas, Thailand, Cayman Islands, St. Vincent and Barbados.

~Wednesday Night~

We started the conference with a welcome reception from the Minister of Tourism. It involved a few Dignitaries, media and the Dancing Preachers International delegates. What a sight to see dance ministry and government together, dealing with a Nation's economic, social and political aspects of the land through Worship!

~Friday Afternoon~

We enjoyed fellowship, food and fun on the Harbour Master Boat Tour. I never had so much fun in my life, the boat ride was AWESOME!

What liberty we felt to dance, sing, and rejoice upon the waters as music that proclaimed the name of Jesus filled the air. We ate a delicious Bajan buffet. There were smiles all around as people rode the waterslide, snorkeled, or just rested on the boat. It was an experience that we will never forget.

~Friday Night~

What an awesome display of dance throughout the Nations! Many of us were on our feet time and time again as the power of God was experienced in so many unique ways through dancers from Barbados, Canada, The Philippines, USA, Israel, Trinidad & Tobago, Jamaica, and the Bahamas. The "dancing girl" (and boy) in all of us was released! Thank you Dr Battle for your participation during the conference.

~Saturday~

Early in the Morning we fell in love with the Father., all over again. The intimacy we experienced on the beach can not be articulated with words. I guess you had to be there.

We witnessed the birth of a new mandate for us to "Stretch Forth, "Break Forth," and be "Released" into what God has for us to impact Nations for His Kingdom. I tell you after listening to Dr. Jamal and Dr Trimm, their was really not much to be said but the Lord released a word that caused and activation into all us to Launch. The Lord allowed me to be used in an unusual way to dance the message that he had given to me to impart.

I don't think you really will know or understand how much you have influenced me and encouraged me on my journey in the dance ministry. My knowledge has increased, my relationship in dance has increased,my purpose for dance has increased,my faith has increased, God has called me to deliver his word through dance,I am a praise instrument for my Lord. Thank you for being in my midst on my T.V with your teachings and just being able to hear your Love for the Lord and pouring out of your spirit -God ain't playing with us with our gifts either use them correctly or move out of the way. I miss being there physically in class,so the next closest thing to being there is to have you teach it on my T.V. at home. Thank you so much for letting God use you in his mighty way giving us understanding in what we do and why we minister through dance. I had been searching for someone to give me revelation of it and someone that I could relate to how God wants me to teach his word. I couldn't find it here in Columbus because, here it is done but did anyone truly understand it, and the power in it, It's to laxed back here like I'm doing this cause our church wants a dance ministry, but do not know the power behind it. Do not know God's purpose for it. Alot of the church's are blind to the understanding. Love you Sabrina, you are always in my heart and I am continously praying here in C-Town God continues to show up and show out in your life so you can continue to bless his people with the true and living word through dance, so our understanding and our dance will not be in vain. Please continue to pray for my mind being opened up to understanding and revelation for where God is taking me through Dance ministering his word. Thanks for being my mentor for worshipping God on a another Level. "No LImits-NO Bounderies" I see increase all around me.

A Word By, Lloyd Conley

The Lord has been showing me that the Shofar is far more significant than we have understood. I'm sure that I do not understand all, but what He has revealed so far follows by testimony and the Word.

1) The Shofar Herald's the coming of the King: The Tekiah is a long blast on the Shofar that declares that God is King. In ancient times, it was blown at the coronation of kings. (I Kings 1:34) In modern times it is blown at the swearing in of Israel's Prime Minister. The Tekiah is a part of the traditional blast that is blown at Rosh Hashanah or the Feast of Trumpets (Yom Teruah) to Herald the New Year. I know from several divine appointments that God is raising up anointed priests all over the world to blow the Shofar. I believe that this is first and foremost a declaration that Messiah, the King is coming! (Zechariah 9:14)

2) The Shofar Herald's the coming of the Harvest: In June 2006, the Lord sent me to a conference at Glory of Zion in Denton, TX. While in the worship center, I was drawn to a banner on the wall that had a Shofar and a stalk of grain crossed. When I read the inscription "Herald for the Harvest", I knew several things:

a) I was to blow the Shofar (I didn't know how yet)
b) There was a connection between the anointing to shout, which the Lord had released in me several years before and the Shofar blast. The connection between the Shofar and the Shout had something to do with Heralding.
c) I immediately recognized that the Lord had long been using me as a herald. E.g., in 2005, a visiting preacher came to my home church to preach a 3 to 4 day series. During the worship that opened the first session, the Lord had me shout, "Oh that You would rend the Heavens and come down . . ." out of Isaiah 64. When the preacher began his prophetic message, he announced that the main text for the Series would be Isaiah 64. "Oh that You would rend the heavens, etc."

3) The Shofar is a part of Tabernacle of David Worship: (Psalm 98:6) On June 22, 2006, the Lord began to show me that the restoration of Israel and the restoration of the Tabernacle of David would precede the restoration of all things and the last great harvest of souls. It became clear to me for the first time that whatever the restoration of the Tabernacle of David involves, it is of great strategic significance in the purposes of God and End Time events. At the 2006 conference in the Bahamas, the Lord began to teach me about the Tabernacle of David. The Dance ministry to Jesus was, of course, the focal point there.

When I returned from the Bahamas, I began to search the Scripture to see what else might be included in the Tabernacle of David worship. I was surprised to discover that both the Shout of the King and the Shofar blast were key elements of worship in the Tabernacle of David. See 2 Samuel 6:14-15. As research deepened, I discovered that the Hebrew word in 2 Samuel 6: 15 for the shout and the Shofar was the same word. The Hebrew word is Teruah. It means "shout of joy, a victory shout, a cry of Jubilee, blast of trumpets (Shofar), and the sounding of an alarm, especially with the trumpet." (The Spirit Filled Life Bible) I now call this anointing to shout and to blow the Shofar, the Teruah Anointing. Seven priests blew the Shofar before the Ark of the Covenant/Presence of God.

4) The Shofar is the alarm of Joel 2:1: "Blow the Shofar in Zion, and Sound the alarm in My Holy Mountain!" The alarm in Joel 2:1 is specifically the Teruah blast. It is a series of at least 9 short blasts that calls people to repentance. It is blown with the Tekiah on Yom Teruah in the Tekiah- Teruah-Tekiah sequence to call the people to repent unto the Lord.

5) The Shofar is the watchman's alarm of

Ezekiel 33:2-9: The Lord gave me two Scriptures when He told me to blow the Shofar: Joel 2:1 and Ezekiel 33:2-9. "Ben Adam, speak to your countrymen and say to them: 'When I bring the sword against a land, and the people of the land choose one of their men and make him their watchman, And he sees the sword coming against the land and blows the Shofar to warn the people, Then if anyone hears the Shofar but does not take warning and the sword comes and takes his life, his blood will be on his own head. Since he heard the sound of the Shofar but did not take warning, his blood will be on his own head. If he had taken warning, he would have saved himself. But if the watchman sees the sword coming and does not blow the Shofar to warn the people and the sword comes and takes the life of one of them, that man will be taken away because of his sin, but I will hold the watchman accountable for his blood.' "Ben Adam, I have made you a watchman for the house of Israel; so hear the word I speak and give them warning from me. When I say to the wicked, 'O wicked man, you will surely die,' and you do not speak out to dissuade him from his ways, that wicked man will die for his sin, and I will hold you accountable for his blood. But if you do warn the wicked man to turn from his ways and he does not do so, he will die for his sin, but you will have saved yourself. 5767/2007 is the year of the Sword of the Lord. See the CD series from Glory of Zion's "Starting the Year out Right 2007 Conference".

6) The Shofar, as the mighty weapon of God's warfare, releases the mighty works of God: See how God had Joshua (Joshua 6) and Gideon (Judges 7) blow the Shofar and Shout. These stories are too well known and detailed to comment on here, except that when the seven priests blew the Shofar and the peopled shouted, God pressed the massive walls of Jericho into the ground. Last week the Lord told me that "120 is the number of the generations that witness the mighty works of God". In response, I did a quick Bible search on the number 120 and found the following reference in 2 Chronicles 5:12-14 regarding the dedication of Solomon's temple:

and the Levites who were the singers, all those of Asaph and Heman and Jeduthun, with their sons and their brethren, stood at the east end of the altar, clothed in white linen, having cymbals, stringed instruments and harps, and with them one hundred and twenty priests sounding with trumpets- 13 indeed it came to pass, when the trumpeters and singers were as one, to make one sound to be heard in praising and thanking the LORD, and when they lifted up their voice with the trumpets and cymbals and instruments of music, and praised the LORD, saying:

"For He is good, For His mercy endures forever,"[b] that the house, the house of the LORD, was filled with a cloud, 14 so that the priests could not continue ministering because of the cloud; for the glory of the LORD filled the house of God." NKJ

7)The Shofar Herald's the Year of Jubilee: God has said through several that 5767/2007 is a year of jubilee for the Kingdom. See Rod Parsley blowing the Shofar over his/our jubilee year. http://www.breakthrough.net/covenant- partner.asp

8) Last, but not least, the Shofar is the sound of the voice of the Son of Man, The King of Kings, The Alpha and Omega. (Revelation 1:10-12) "I was in the Spirit on the Lord's Day, and I heard behind me a loud voice, as of a trumpet, 11 saying, 'I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last . . . '

12 Then I turned to see the voice that spoke with me. And having turned I saw . . . One like the Son of Man . . ." Perhaps this is why the blowing of the Shofar is so powerful. It sounds like the voice of the King, Himself.

Before we Recap Their Were Three Most Memorable Moments It began the week before the conference. I received a call from one of my former dance ministers Verna Aileby's husband, Wayne Aileby. He stated that Verna was in intensive care, and while he was sitting in her room watching the television, he saw me come on. Immediately, Verna began to motion to me on the screen and indicated that she wanted to see me. I rushed to the hospital from the television station and looked at Verna's feeble body. She was so pale and approximately 90 pounds. Verna could not speak, and a machine was assisting her with breathing. I looked at Verna and reminded her that this sickness was not unto death and I expected her to get out of that bed and walk!

Verna in Intensive Care Unit


I told Verna I expect to see her at the conference. I told her that we have to much work to do. "Stop playing Verna, get out of this bed!" I said.

When I looked at Verna in that position, I was reminded of the sickle cell that God healed her from in the past. Countless times the doctor said she would not have children, and she has 5. Many times she came to dance rehearsal with throbbing pains in her body and a tube in her chest. I told Verna to remember the promise God made her. I said, "If God could deliver you from that, He is more than able to deliver you from this!"

Wayne told me that Verna was recently diagnosed with a rare disease that affects a few people in the world and produces more white blood cells in your body than are needed. The disease actually ate away the muscle mass in her body. It did not matter to me about the disease or what the doctor said. I knew I was looking at a soldier, and the Lord saw Verna worthy of this light affliction. I began to sing Israel Houghton's song "Prayers of the Righteous." The part that I kept singing to her was the line that repeats "We are victorious, we are victorious" Wayne asked me to pray for Verna and you could see the Holy Spirit strengthening her body.

After lying dormant in that bed for so long, Verna lifted her hand during the prayer. In the middle of the prayer, Verna began to prop her body up in the bed. My God, miracles do come true! That's not all: The last day of the conference on Sunday morning, Verna walked into the Hilton Hotel with her entire family!

Verna at the conference One week later: God is able to do anything but fail. We are VICTORIOUS!



It was crazy! A man named and a man named Jimmy shared with us his gift of song. Jimmy was a homeless man that got off the bench and sang to us testimonies of God faithfulness, even on a park bench. We all marveled as we listened to Jimmy sing songs of joy for the Lord. I tried to invite Jimmy to the hotel that night, but immediately following his song he went back to the park bench. I'm not sure how Jimmy found out where the conference was being held, but I was astonished when I looked up that night and saw Jimmy at the Hilton Hotel. While everyone was ministering in dance we introduced Jimmy to his Dancing Preachers family and the crowd went wild. I'm telling you, you had to be there! Jimmy got on the mic and shut the service down.

Everybody got "Hype, hype, hype!" The congregation raised an offering for Jimmy, and it was the firstfruit for his new life.

2008 is the year of new beginnings for the saints. So the now EX-homeless Jimmy is pursuing a record deal and we are shooting a reality television show. When the CD is complete, I will let all of the family know so you can purchase the new sound. God can do anything but fail. We are victorious!

The Lord called out drug users, prostitutes, crackheads and they came!.

Matthew 10:6-8 But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. 7 And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand. 8 Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give.



Friday night was unbelievable. We had a special ministry presentation for Dr. Barbara Sullivan and Apostle Dr. Elizabeth Hairston.

It was a time for all the dance ministers to pay tribute to those that have come before us and blazed a trail when dance ministry was not accepted or popular. After the presentation was complete, Prophetess Francine Riley called the two apostles back to the stage along with Dr. Higgins, Pastor Yulonda Lewis, and myself.

Prophetess Riley mentioned that on that same day, 8-8-08 Judith Jamison, the Director of Alvin Ailey, named her successor and announced that she would be retiring.

"The natural first, and then the spiritual," she stated.

She asked all the apostles to lay hands on me and pray for me as they confirmed me as an Apostle of the Most High God. "Coronation"

I was totally amazed. It was because I was really trying to honor everyone else. On this day was a coronation for me and I received the double portion, words, prayers and thrusting forward by God and His Apostles.

Wednesday, August 6th Pastor Medina Pullings

Wednesday began on Channel 5 with Good Day Atlanta. We invited the city of Atlanta to attend the conference. Throughout the day, our guests, delegates, speakers, and vendors began to fill the Hilton Hotel as the excitement for the opening Worship Service filled the atmosphere. The sanctuary was exquisitely prepared in the ballroom that was prayerfully designed for the Lord's presence to be made manifest. Atlanta dance ministries went forth and Pastor Medina Pullings preached and prophesied in the evening session

Liturgical Dance Day 2008 - Detroit, MI


The morning of September 7, 2008 in Detroit started out dreary and wet as some of the dance leaders from various churches in the Detroit area prepared to take the streets of Downtown by storm. We gathered at the front of Chene Park near the Detroit River. It was a beautiful sight to see the many colors flow as the rain stopped and the sun began to break through the clouds as if the Lord became excited about what was about to transpire and smiled to light the way.

We began in a gathering of prayer that as we moved forward the onlookers would see the Glory of God move through the land and with all that the city of Detroit had gone through, the people would see that God was doing His work and His will. We began our walk with prayer books in hand to pass on to anyone needing and were prepared to pray for anyone requesting. As we walked Jefferson with flags waving we sang praises to the Most High Jesus. People in cars honked and waved, some pulled over to share in the praise and people walking by received prayer.



When we made it to Belle Isle we came into the park with music from Marvin Sapp singing "Possess the Land." As we made it into the park there was nothing but space and time for Worship and did we ever. We worshipped freely with our dance, the wave of flags, banners, streamers as it seemed the sun beamed directly on top of us. People in boats on the water, bikes riding by, and people just walking the river walk stopped to partake in the Worship experience.


Our MC for the day, Minister Lynette Perryman of International Church of God in Christ, opened us up and read the Govenor's Proclamation for the Liturgical Dance Day!

She gave a dynamic prayer then introduced the dance ministries present to go forth. We heard a few words on Liturgical Dance and what it means to be a Liturgical Dancer from myself and also a few words on taking charge of our land and callings from the powerful Judy Milner or Perfecting Church as she also led us with a wonderful thank you to Minister Sabrina McKenzie for being so obedient to follow the vision God gave her and move forward with the establishment of International Dance Commission.

In conclusion of our celebration, Minister Perryman ended with giving thanks to all participants and onlookers as she allowed the Lord to use her to lay hands rendering me helpless against the mighty power of Jesus.

A family walked through the park and caught a glimpse of what was going on and watched from afar. By the end of the celebration, they hung around close by. The older gentleman told us of how the day before they just buried his brother who was the patriarch of the family. He expressed that he just didn't know what direction the family was going in from there and that waking up he just didn't have the strength to make it to church. His niece suggested they go for a walk in the park and according to him the Lord brought church to him. He said he felt so blessed and although he didn't make it to church that morning, he got all the word he needed to continue on right there in the park. We sent out a special prayer for the family and saw that all our prayers were answered. If it's for many or just one, the Lord will show up and His plans will be revealed.

Good Morning Sherry! Sorry, I did not get a chance to speak with you yesterday, you were very, very busy and moving fast. Thank you for allowing Feet Ablaze to minister on Sunday. Even though, I could not make the mandatory rehearsal on Saturday, you are very gracious. I had a chance to speak with Grace, who lives not far from me and we will be talking about prophetic dance going forth in Santa Clarita/Canyon Country area. She has lived in this area longer than I have and she has not seen dance as it should be ministered in the church. Please be in agreement with us as we begin our search for the ministry of dance to come forth in this area. Have not done any research, but understand from others that this city has many Mormons.

Judy

Dear Sherry,

I want to thank you for your gracious opportunity to participate in the IDC honoring of pioneers of Liturgical Dance. It was an awesome experience for me, to have the support of others, that you may not realize. The history of liturgical dance was done with visual excellence. A wonderful teaching tool, the churches need to see this...

Please forward my Thank You's to IDC and its entire staff. Let us continue in the work of the Lord, for we must be about our Father's business. Please know that I am a phone call away if you need anything.


Dancing for Him,
Sandra J.S.




Thank you so much for your HARD work, diligence and effort. We had the RARE opportunity to celebrate praise dance. You did an excellent job. Know that you are appreciated and your labor was not in vain. This service a was a day of educating, celebrating, rejoicing, praise and worship. The history of dance was valuable.

I witnessed people get healed, set free and just plain ole blessed. I saw my six year old -who danced for the first time in her little life break down in tears, because Jesus was filling her with His presence. Her cup overflowed. She counted the days until it was time to dance...She told her mom, "Just more sleep nights until it's time to dance mommy..." He is worthy...Another of my dancers (Kamaria) brought her BLIND grandfather, and he stayed during the entire service because the Spirit of the Lord was there. He could not see what was going on but where the Spirit of the Lord is there is Liberty.... The length of the service taught me patience and taught me even more, that God is in control.....Thanks also to The Niko (I love you!) and the wonderful staff at Imani Temple...Thank you for ALL of your accomodations and service..

Thanks again and thank you for allowing us to participate.


Robin,

Featured Keynote Speakers:

Apostle Elizabeth Hairston, Elder Tapika Howard, Dr. Yulonda Lewis, Rev. Stephanie Butler, Prophetess Francine Riley, Dr. Ann Higgins,

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




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!

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!

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. The DPI attendees demonstrated God's love through liturgical worship.





"What an AMAZING time! Just got back to Atlanta - and I can only say 2009 Dancing Preachers was awesome! How blessed we were to watch the move of God unfold before our very eyes, and just when we thought it couldn't get any better - each day, God simply blew our minds! The street evangelism/cross cultural sharing event was amazing! Watching people come to Christ is always a wonderful and beautiful thing! Congrats to you Sabrina! You will truly be a mother of nations! TH, Citadel of Hope COGIC

Dancing Preachers 2009 was Triple A: AWESOME, AMAZING, ANOINTED. Just arrived home early this morning. I am still flying high from seeing how God used the conference to bring people to Him. Sabrina, thanks for being obedient and allowing God to use you for His glorification. DS, Women of Worship Liturgical Dance Ministry

We are finally getting back into the swing of things here in Houston. We have been on such a high from the Dancing Preachers conference. We never imagined that we would experience God's glory the way we did in Puerto Rico. We didn't know what it was that God had in store for us when we got there, but He blew our mind with what was revealed to us. Sabrina..Thank you so much for your obedience! Your spirit is awesome! Can't wait to see you at the next conference! Devine Destiny

WHAT A WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE, I AM FROM THE PUERTO RICO MINISTR, AND IT WAS SUCH A BLESSING AND WE ARE SO GRATEFUL OF THE GIFT THE LORD GAVE US DURING THE DAYS OF THE CONFERENCE. IT WAS NOT IN OUR PLANS TO BE PART OF SUCH AN EXPERIENCE BUT IT DEFINITELY WAS IN HIS PLANS FOR US. I THANK SABRINA FOR LETING HERSELF BE USED IN ORDER FOR US TO EXPERIENCE THIS TIME, THIS WAS SOMETHING NONE OF US HAS NEVER EXPERIENCED BEFORE AND DEFINITELY SOMETHING WE'D LOVE TO BE A PART OF AGAIN. SABRINA KEEP UP YOUR

Can This Cup Pass From Me?

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.

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.

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!

Five memories from my First Dancing Preachers experience - Dancing Preachers Conference 2005
(1) Due to the devastation from Hurricane Katrina our ministry was dispersed throughout 3 different states, and our leaders were out of the country. We weren't sure when we would get clearance to enter our city or even if we had something to return to, but there were no thoughts of canceling our reservations.
(2) We finally got into our church to get our garments and instruments, only thing was that there was no electricity and we had a big ministry with LOTS of stuff. The only thing we could do was grab as much as we could and sort it out when we got to the next functioning city.
(3) We were supposed to wear all white for one of the evening services, except we had put our white garments in the cleaners before the mandatory evacuation and didn't have a chance to pick it up...so we had nothing white. Great thing is that while we were on evacuation/vacation we stopped at Wal-Mart and found about 3 bolts of white fabric on clearance. It just so happened that I'd evacuated with my sewing machine. I stayed up all night making white ephods, and the next morning we had to drive three hours to catch a flight because we'd transferred our tickets to another state.
(4) William Murphy was a keynote at one of the evening services. He reminded us that we were chosen to create an ark. We should carry the Glory of God.
(5) Glad we made the push in spite of all the drama in getting to DP 2005. Praise God for the marvelous works he has done and has yet to do.
