What would you call the slaughter of 48.5 million innocent babies?
I'm a church planter, missionary, freelance writer, web designer, and laid-down lover of Jesus from Level Cross, NC. I'm married with 3 wonderful grown children. We're currently planting a church and planning a missions trip back to Jamaica. I couldn't ask for a better life!
I write about Jesus, the Bible, revival, healing, the power of God, faith, and related topics. I throw in occasional recipes, home-making tips, news and politics items, and all sorts of random things just for fun.
Anyone remember Heather Clark’s wild dance at the revival a couple of weeks ago?
Anyone who knows anything about dance and spiritual warfare got a clue what she was up to… but a lot of people really had NO idea (not just the heresy hunters - a lot of good Christian folks were just weirded out by it)
Rahab’s Place has some commentary directly from Heather, explaining what she was up to. She notes, too, that none of the heresy hunters actually contacted her about it.

Thanks for posting this. I heard about it and must have searched for it before it was uploaded on YouTube. Thanks again. Powerful! She has an awesome ministry.

I missed watching that night, but I saw the clip on Rahab’s Place, and I really don’t get what all the hoohah was about. After almost 100 days of this thing, people STILL don’t get it…this is not your typical evangelical three points and a poem service!! Ack!!!

Thanks for putting me on your blogroll. I appreciate that!
You have a wonderful place to plant a church! NC is beautiful! I was up at Moravian Falls a few years ago and loved it.

I love praise dancing in a church as it represents a smooth interpetation of the word in movement. I have seen Praise Dance in many churches and it has always been graceful and a define message to it. I did not see the war dance so can’t comment in it.

I saw Heather Clarks War Dance and I will say it was different than anyother dance I have seen except when I was in the 60’s and early 70’s. Her dance is unique and not what I would like to see, but that was her expression
July 1st, 2008 at 1:16 pm
Not what you’d like to see?
I’m so glad she was dancing for the audience of One…

Kathi if she wasn’t then she would have missed the boat

Awesome, Heather! Thanks so much, and God bless your ministry!

Thanks for posting! I am a modern dancer and in my free moments - well that’s what you get. There is another dance on Youtube too that shows my calmer side if anyone is interested

Heather I love praise dancing and we have started it at my church in Concord. Some dances is for someone but not for everyone, but the main thing is singers and praise dancers are not doing it for the people attending anyways they are doing it for the Lord. If people will just look at it this way then they will know. I have been able to minister to some praise dancers in the past and told them, dance for Jesus and you will find out that it gets no better than that. I love praise dancing and keep it up.

Thats a pretty cool dance! Although, Heather seemed a bit out of it, dont know?
Anyway, when I was in Israel, I was taught by some Messianic women some trad Jewish worship dance. It is truly beautifull - very hand maiden, praise oriented, gentle and feminine. Hard to describe. They dance together as well in a group, in accord.

How else is a modern dancer going to worship God but through her own distinctive dance? What is dance if it isn’t perhaps the ultimate form of self-expression? Don’t understand the fuss personally - perhaps they’d've preferred you to twirl genteelly in a crinoline skirt or do some standard charismatic pogo-ing
By the way, Heather, you have a great voice - listened to you a few times on GodTV.

Just been pondering this again, having read the Rahab explanation of the dance. It struck me that Ezekiel did something similar - symbolic mime gestures,lying on his side, the ramp, the bread, the burning hair. There are plenty of things about Lakeland that really concerned me, but this specific example of Heather’s dance isn’t one of them.

Heather’s got a fabulous voice. I just downloaded the Lakeland II CD and am contemplating getting the rest of her stuff - however since money precedes stuff and money’s tight, it’s gotta wait.
Anita - Heather appeared “out of it” at several times during the revival. The first couple times I saw that “look” it concerned me, but then I noticed that it always preceded, or happened during, an extremely prophetic moment. I just took it as her “I’m paying rapt attention to what the Lord is saying now” look.
HEATHER - if you happen to pop back in over here - I am looking for a particular song. Megan (who responds to your orders@ email) thought it was on Lakeland II but it’s not. Is it recorded anywhere? The song is “Laid Down Lover”. Can you let me know? Thanks!!

I agree with Jules.
Heather’s dance dosnt worry me at all. Actually I dance like that normally at parties
LOL
Seriously though, I went to her site and like her take on things, she seems very balanced and also gracious toward ther buddy Todd. Hasnt distanced herself from him - I like that!
August 31st, 2008 at 12:42 pm
Anita, the time to embrace is when others walk away. Having met and talked with Jim Bakker and his new wife, I find him to be a great man of God. We all fall, but picking back up for some is hard. A true friend never walks away
August 31st, 2008 at 4:59 pm
Good point Rev. Truth is often realised in betrayal. How often do we here the term “I realised who my true friends are” when the rubber hits the pavement and there are only a few perhaps one standing with you!

Thanks Anita
