Here are some snippets from one of the teachings.
Ezekiel 36:25-26
We need to clean our heart and let the Spirit work in us.
If we’re sick we go to the hospital but if we are sick spiritually we need to bring it to the church. As your mouth praises, make sure your heart is right. Don’t hide our sins or struggles in our dancing – talk to your sister. We need to let the work of the Spirit be in our lives. Pray for this. Many women in the church like to sing and dance but not to pray. We need to pray.
If there’s a mango tree that’s not doing well we’ll trim it down, add more water and wait for more blooms to come. God wants to cut off the things in us that are bad so we will germinate new things and our fruit can be good. There is no medicine for this – you need time with the Lord. Can’t go to the witchdoctor – He doesn’t know our bodies. He didn’t make us. He doesn’t know how to help us – only God knows.
If you don’t let the Lord break you and clean you of these things now you’ll have problems later.
James 1:22-26 talks about being doers of the Word, not merely hearers. And then she read verse 27: Real religion is this… to look after the widows and orphans in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.
Sometimes you come to a mountain and you think you can’t climb it, but this is part of your journey. Know that Jesus is still at work. And no one can help but Jesus who died on the cross to help. He did it for you and for me.
And there was power that came as a result of the Word being spoken – there is POWER in the message of the Cross. At this point both interpreters broke down under the presence of the Lord. One of them couldn’t continue and had to be replaced as she quietly stepped back to wipe her tears and collect herself. The teaching continued as another stepped up. And then there was praying.
And then there was dancing ☺

That's amazing. It is so powerful to think of all those women together for the Lord. Humbling. So cool. Convicting to expose and confess my own sin. Thanks for this entry Jen.
