Something happens in the dance, when form and matter seem to unite, the objective and narrative merge. The dance comes from the verge, a place where the triple entendre of the what, who and why are swept up in love. The dance is not egalitarian though, it is functional subordination and a confluence of being delighted in…a true perichoresis! Have you ever been raptured in such love because you lost your sense of self? Maybe you find yourself alone dancing but what happens when the corporate dance begins? What happens when you’re not so internally focused on distraction, your narrative and others reflections that you lose yourself? Oh wow! You’re entering upon the verge and who knows what will happen!
Do you like taking those kind of risks? Most people don’t. Aren’t you tired of it, adjusting yourself to everyone else’s priority, expectations and are saying to yourself…hey self I’m done; I’ve got to let His definition of me be it. He defines and determines my life and He’s a liberator not a manipulator or oppressor. But then you say freedom comes at a price...I might break all the rules? Paul says not to continue in sin as God forbids that but He also wrote Abraham believed God and it was accounted for righteousness. Wait a minute Paul you mean I can move out in the delight of my Father, by virtue of the Son empowered by The Spirit and You count that as righteous and clean me up on the way!
Yes He will and has!
David danced before the Lord with all his might, wearing a priestly garment. So David and all the people of Israel brought up the Ark of the Lord with shouts of joy and the blowing of rams’ horns.
But look at Michal’s Contempt for David
As the Ark of the Lord entered the City of David, Michal, the daughter of Saul, looked down from her window. When she saw King David leaping and dancing before the Lord, she was filled with contempt for him.
If you’ve ever been the subject of contempt, its painful both internally and externally. It produces barrenness and leanness of soul...you were called to great double fruitfulness!
This past Sunday was amazing! I wanted to share with you the structure of our worship, maybe it will help you. We are following a Psalms 110 pattern. It's not in the forefront but it lays in the background of what we do.
As I mentioned Sunday Psalms 110 is a chiasm, it is also the most quoted Old Testament section in the New Testament.
A.The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool.
B. 2 The LORD shall send the rod of thy strength out of Zion: rule thou in the midst of thine enemies.
C. 3 Thy people shall be willing in the day of thy power, in the beauties of holiness from the womb of the morning: thou hast the dew of thy youth.
D. 4 The LORD hath sworn, and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek.
C’. 5 The Lord at thy right hand shall strike through kings in the day of his wrath.
B’. 6 He shall judge among the heathen, he shall fill the places with the dead bodies; he shall wound the heads over many countries.
A’. 7 He shall drink of the brook in the way: therefore shall he lift up the head.
There is so much depth to this and we could spend extensive teaching on it but I wanted you to at least roughly understand that when we worship together at The Collider we are going though this form every week. Roughly I would say that we experience intercession in the first three verses…the triple entendre dealing with the what, who and why, in verse 4 we experience perichoresis, verses 5-6 declaration and verse 7 the Lord’s satisfaction in finding a people He can locate His government in and with.
