<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 18px;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">RADIANCE. I love the word radiance. I wrote it on my bathroom mirror once. To be called radiant is one of the nicest compliments I’ve ever received. I think it is evidence of God’s Holy Spirit shining in my life. I love the Lord and Jesus lives inside me. I have to give Him credit! His presence is so beautiful. Isn’t it amazing our Lord and King gives us His presence? What a gift! In the mornings, before I get out of bed, I give Him my gratitude list. Today I thanked Him for His RADIANCE. “You show me the path of life; In Your presence is fullness of joy; At Your right hand are pleasures forevermore” Psalm 16:11 & Acts 2:28. (My favorite verse in the Bible.)</span></span>Jenna Vick Sillimanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16160610705420543798noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4258402261912093253.post-73500496244641624632013-05-03T07:57:00.002-07:002013-05-03T07:57:42.698-07:00HEART LEAPS!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

He has given us richly all things to enjoy, including Himself. He sees us as perfect and He wants to BE with us, and actually hang out with us, all the time. Jesus is the way to God, our heavenly Papa. Simply ask Jesus to be real to you. He will make Himself known to you with His awesome presence. My favorite verse in the Bible is "You show me the path of LIFE; in Your presence, O God, is the fullness of joy and in Your right hand are pleasures forevermore." This verse is found in two places Psalm 16:11 and Acts 2:28. Jesus told us the reason He came to the earth is to bring us ABUNDANT LIFE. (See John 10:10.) Whooohooo!!! Thank You for LIFE, Lord Jesus!!! I love it!</span></span>Jenna Vick Sillimanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16160610705420543798noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4258402261912093253.post-67897769817481656112013-04-24T05:31:00.000-07:002013-04-24T05:31:48.369-07:00Angelina's God Book<br />

Father’s blessings. He wants to lavish His love on us, pour out His blessings
in us, and give more that we can contain. The Psalms put it best, “How blessed
is the man who fears the Lord, who greatly delights in His commandments. His
descendants will be mighty on earth; the generation of the upright will be
blessed (Ps. 112:1-3)…We become the person He [God] has called us to be when we
meditate on the things of God and dream His dreams. The Psalmist wrote, “Delight
yourself in the Lord, and He will give you the desires of your heart”
(Ps.37:4)..…Desire has two parts: “de” meaning “of” and “sire” meaning “to
father”. When we delight ourselves in God, instead of hanging out in our past,
He becomes the father, the sire of our dreams…We reproduce what we feast our
thoughts on.” –Kris Vallotton, excerpts from <u>The Supernatural Ways of
Royalty<o:p></o:p></u></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="color: #444444;">When we BELIEVE in Jesus and become followers of
Him, we call ourselves “Christians”. That means “little Christs.” When our
heavenly Father looks at us He sees the image of the Son He loves. Our daddy is
King and we are destined for greatness! The Bible tells us to meditate on the
truth. “As a man thinks in his heart, so he is” Prov. 23:7. REMEMBER WHO YOU

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">A couple of years ago, on New Year’s Eve, my pastor,
John Himmelberger, asked if he could pray for me for more freedom. I didn’t
think I needed more freedom, but I now know I did! Freedom in the Holy Spirit
is wonderful. “It was for freedom that Christ set us free.” (See Galatians 5:1.)
Free to be all that God created us to be, free to grow and bloom and be more and
more like Jesus every day. Our heavenly Father has so much for us! In our lives
we typically only recognize a small portion of our blessings. Today I would
like to bless you with more freedom. Just insert your name in the blank and
receive all these blessings from the Lord that are all yours already!<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Dear _____, Today I bless you with receiving the
Truth that the Lord promises will set you free. I bless you with knowledge of
your Papa’s awesome, extravagant love for you and how He treats you with
special care because you belong to Him. I bless you with a new understanding of
your freedom from anything holding you back such as fear, worry, negativity,
complaining, distrust, or doubting. I bless you with freedom from loneliness
and a new awareness that Papa is with you 24/7. I bless you with freedom from
anything that would make you unusable for the Lord’s glory. I bless you with a
desire to forgive anyone who has hurt you and to forgive and forget any
offenses. I bless your spirit with the freedom from distractions to seek after
God and love Him with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength. I bless you as
FREE INDEED. Free from the bondage of worrying what people think. Free of all the
negative stuff. Free to share our faith with confidence. Free to give
generously and enjoy it. Free to worship and express emotions and enthusiasm. Free
to dare to be different and unique. Free to be child-like and have fun and goof
off. Free to dance without self-consciousness. Free to believe. Free to love
and be loved. Free to be affectionate and receive it too. Free to receive all
the promises in Scripture! I bless your mind with the freedom to dwell on all
good things--whatever is lovely, whatever is of good report, and whatever is
worthy of praise. I bless you with freedom to stand—unshakeable-- in victory
and triumph over sin, not by your own might or your own power, but through the empowerment
of the Holy Spirit. I bless you with a revelation that you can do all things
through Christ Who strengthens you. I bless you with the freedom to declare the
truths of God’s Word and take authority in the name of Jesus. I bless you with
ears to hear your Papa’s voice better and to hear Him call you by name with
tender lovingkindness. I bless you with eyes to see into the supernatural realm
and recognize the riches of our inheritance and our identity in Jesus. I bless
you with the revelation that we are co-crucified, co-buried, co-resurrected,
co-enthroned, and co-heirs with Jesus! I also bless you with the ability to see
yourself the way Papa does—free of sin, perfect, and beautiful. I bless you
with a new zeal for encouraging others in the Lord, for evangelism, for prayer,
for healing, and for using all the gifts so freely given to us from our Papa. I
bless you with the ability to receive empowerment in the Holy Spirit. I bless
you with the desire to give thanks always, to rejoice in all Papa’s good gifts,
and to celebrate FREEDOM!"<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">We know that our old self was nailed to the cross with Jesus. We have been co-crucified with Christ. If we were one with Him by sharing a death like His, we also are privileged to share in His resurrection to new life--life abundantly. We are co-resurrected with the Lord Jesus and now we enjoy unbroken fellowship with the living God 24/7. All a free gift by the immeasurable riches of His grace. Hallelujah!!!

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">When Jesus said to GO I considered myself SENT and now I am on a MISSION everywhere I go. However, the Lord has not given me any desire to travel anywhere in this season of my life. I am to bloom and grow and bear fruit right here in Clallam County where I live and where He has planted me. As I abide in Jesus I will bear much fruit as Jesus promised. (See John 15.)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">To establish a mindset, I have five declarations that I speak out and keep before me to help me in my missionary lifestyle:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">1. I am a connecting link to God's loving kindness.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">2. People are open and ready to hear about God's love and to believe.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">3. Through me God's love is drawing people into a relationship with Him.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">4. Everyone around me has powerful encounters with God's presence.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">5. I have Jesus as Lord in my heart & I'm always ready to share about Him.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">My focus is on God and worshiping Him. He inhabits the praises of His people. I walk habitually with the Lord 24/7 and continually give Him thanks for this is the password to His presence. I am a host for His presence!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Yesterday after teaching my children's dance class I danced to a song of worship to show my students "worship dancing." My son Peter did a video so I can share it with you. The song is called "The Paintbrush" from the album "Paint Your Picture" by Julie Meyer. As I dance I am praying and asking God "Pick me up like a paintbrush, God, dip it in the colors of my life, paint Your picture, Father, fashion a heart that is wholly Yours...Take Your fingers God, Master Potter come mold the clay. Tell Your story...and write Your name in the clay and sign Your name on the picture."</span></div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #444444;">1.<span style="font-size: 7pt;"> </span>I like how technology helps me connect with people all over the world. I have friends in Germany, Canada, Vermont, Florida, and New Zealand and many more places. We have sweet fellowship over the phone, through texting, Facebook messaging, Facebook posting, and by e-mail. I love to hear what God is doing in their lives and how He is speaking to them through Scripture and through life. I feel rich when I think about all my awesome friends!</span></div>

<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -.25in;">
<span style="color: #444444;">2.<span style="font-size: 7pt;"> </span>Music is everything to a dancer. My i-pod with thousands of songs, all organized with a “menu” and my own playlists, will never cease to amaze me. I have it with me wherever I go and by plugging it into my boom box with an aux cord, I am ready to worship and dance everywhere I go. At our home church we enjoy music from bands all over the world—the very best! I am so thankful for our awesome worship music when we gather. With the technology available, I have so much awesome music to explore, enjoy, and share with the touch of a button or two!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -.25in;">
<span style="color: #444444;">3.<span style="font-size: 7pt;"> </span>I have an active curiosity and I love to learn and discover new things in all different arenas. Life is so interesting. School is always in session. I like how I can ask any question in the world and get answers! As a dancer, I enjoy learning from other dancers on the Internet. They are available to teach me whenever I am ready.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -.25in;">
<span style="color: #444444;">4.<span style="font-size: 7pt;"> </span>Technology has helped me study the Scriptures and discover deeper meanings of words and contexts and what God is saying. I like to search out a passage that God is using to speak to me. What fun to explore on the Internet what the Word is saying!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -.25in;">
<span style="color: #444444;">5.<span style="font-size: 7pt;"> </span>Something I used to hate is now a fun time--standing in lines waiting for my turn at the check-out in grocery stores. It seemed like such a waste of time. Now I just use my cell phone and get on Facebook and start “liking” my friends’ posts or I go to the Internet and check out something or I go to You-Tube and watch something. Thanks to the technology of “smart phones” this dead time is now filled. Yay for technology!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -.25in;">
<span style="color: #444444;">6.<span style="font-size: 7pt;"> </span>I love photographs. I have an awesome collection going on my laptop and I add to it every week. I see what others are posting on Facebook, or I go to Google Images, or the Internet and I “save” on my computer the pictures that speak to me. One of my favorite things to post on my Facebook is a picture with a Scripture and/or an inspirational thought or quote. My cell phone has an awesome camera and it is so fun to take pictures and “share” them on Facebook or sending them on to my friend’s phones. Pictures speak a thousand words—or more!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpLast" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -.25in;">
<span style="color: #444444;">7.<span style="font-size: 7pt;"> </span>I am a writer and a communicator. My laptop is portable and easy to grab and start writing. My website with my blog <a href="http://www.thedanceoflifewithjenna.blogspot.com/">www.TheDanceOfLifeWithJenna.blogspot.com</a> , my Facebook, my e-mail, and my blog here with Kingdom Bloggers all give me outlets for creative expression. I just checked my blog and in February, just last month alone, I had 547 readers. Thanks to technology I can share with all these people what God has put on my heart. I have many wonderful opportunities to express myself and the abundant life of Jesus!</span></div>

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; line-height: 18px;">I watched Christlyn from across the church. She raised her hands, bruised from 23 years of kidney dialysis. She lifted her eyes heavenward, swayed to the music, and she moved her feet too. Sometimes she made hand motions like sign language. Back in her corner she worshiped the Lord Jesus and she didn’t care what anyone thought. It didn't bother her if she was different than everyone else. Sometimes she twirled around with her hands raised. I think that’s the part that really got me. I was amazed. She was dancing over there!</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; line-height: 18px;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; line-height: 18px;">I was drawn to Christlyn. I was drawn to the dance of Israel.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; line-height: 18px;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; line-height: 18px;">I said to her, “Teach me everything you know.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; line-height: 18px;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; line-height: 18px;">We began to meet together and soon others began to join us. Christlyn introduced us to Messianic Circle Dancing. We watched videos and we learned the steps and the motions and the patterns of dance passed down through the generations. We met and prayed together also. I was told on several occasions by different people that I was a Miriam leading the women in dance. Christlyn gave me her tambourine. After years of kidney dialysis she was too weak to use it anymore. On Sundays the elders saw us over in Christlyn’s corner. They were amazed. We were dancing over there!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; line-height: 18px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="color: #444444;"><span style="line-height: 18px;">We dance a dance of love and adoration of our Lord and King, Jesus the Messiah, Yeshua. We danced the dance of Israel.</span></span><br /><span style="color: #444444;"><span style="line-height: 18px;"><br /></span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="color: #444444;"><span style="line-height: 18px;">Christlyn and I also love pretty, colorful, clothing and especially like to dance in twirly skirts. I admired Christlyn’s clothing and began to visit thrift stores to find more twirly skirts to dance in like her—the more colorful and the more twirly the better. I now have over 50 of them—all on a rack in the corner of my room with Christlyn's </span><span style="line-height: 18px;">tambourine</span><span style="line-height: 18px;"> hung up on the wall. </span></span><span style="color: #444444; line-height: 18px;">Each morning I pray about what to wear. </span><span style="color: #444444; line-height: 18px;">I don’t care what people think and don’t care what is in fashion. I wear my colorful, twirly skirts almost every day. One of my favorites is royal blue and white—the colors of Israel.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 18px;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 18px;">As it says in Scripture: </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 11.333333015441895px;">"But he is a Jew who is one inwardly; and the circumcision is that of the heart, in the Spirit, not in the letter..." (See Romans 2:29.)</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 18px;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 18px;">Now I am like Ruth. I say to the people of Israel, “Your people are my people.” I know now that the Bible says we believing believers are grafted into the nation of Israel (See Romans 11:24.) and that we are together in Spirit and we are the Bride of Christ in love with our Groom, Jesus Christ. </span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 18px;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 18px;">The elders called me into the office. I was scared. It was too much like getting called into the principal’s office when you got into trouble in school. I don’t know how I knew what that felt like, because it had never happened to me. I was a good girl I was. But now at age 51 I had crossed a line or something—I danced in church! Like my mentor, Christlyn, people are drawn to me when I worship Jesus with dance. People are moved even more when several worship dance in unity. It is heavenly. I was scared they were going to make us stop.</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 18px;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 18px;">They </span><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 18px;">didn't</span><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 18px;"> want to give Israel credit. They didn't want to be a Messianic church. They didn't mind if I worshiped with dance, or people worshiped with dance with me, but they said we are New Creations and we have a New Culture of the New Covenant, no longer Jews and Gentiles, but "One New Man" as it says in Ephesians 2:15. They said we had to drop the word Israeli off of what we were doing. Israeli Circle Dancing was now to be called Circle Dancing. They encouraged me to teach a class. They took out a couple rows of folding chairs to give us more room to dance. Sometimes I danced with a blue and silver flag. Sometimes I danced alone. Many times we formed a circle and danced in worship together. Even though we didn't call it that, we knew we danced the dance of Israel.</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 18px;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 18px;">I taught a seven week class, every Friday night, on worship dancing. All different kinds of people came to my class, young and old, boys and girls, lots of women and even a couple of men—different ones each week. Christlyn, sometimes too weak to dance after kidney dialysis, would sway to the music and do the hand motions and twirl once in a while. She did her own thing and she loved the Lord. Her gratitude to Him and love for Him makes her dance. She and I have that in common too.</span></div>

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="color: #444444;">Christlyn shared at our women's
meeting how we dancers are like Hephzibah. God rejoices over us and we give Him
joy when we dance in worship. Hephzibah means, “My delight is in her.” Her
brightness is like a stunning sunrise to the Lord. In the Amplified Bible it
says she is exceedingly beautiful to Him. (See Isaiah 62:1-4 Amp.) He delights
in us when we delight in Him and dance for Him.</span><span style="font-size: medium;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; line-height: 18px;">I will never forget asking our women’s prayer group leader, Marsha Earline, what she thought of me and what I shared one Sunday. It was a short testimony about worshiping like King David—wild and free. She said, “Jenna, you are a burning torch.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; line-height: 18px;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; line-height: 18px;">For a while I felt unnerved by my jealousy of Israel. What a beautiful, rich heritage and what gorgeous, meaningful feasts and festivals, and what awesome celebrations full of dance—and they all belong to Israel! One day I cried out to God and said, “It’s not fair, Lord! Israel has all this and we just sit still in church in dark, boring clothes and listen to the worship team and to sermons. I wish I had Jewish heritage.” He said right back to me, “It is all yours, Jenna.” Wow! What a delight to know I am a part of Israel the beloved to the Messiah. I too am the apple of His eye. It is amazing. My dance is the dance of Israel!</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 18px;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 18px;">We pray for the awakening of the Royal Bride, Israel, the New Jerusalem.</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 18px;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 18px;">Christlyn lives an hour away with friends that care for her—she battles with late stages of kidney disease. She has already lived twenty years longer than most people with her condition. I don’t see her very often anymore. When I do, I dance for her. She mostly dances on the inside now. Sometimes she is in so much pain that she whimpers in pain just to lift her arms. She still moves her hands, she still lifts her eyes to heaven, and her feet shuffle around on the floor--even though she is too weak to stand. As I dance and twirl in my colorful skirts, she dances vicariously through me. Once in a while our eyes meet and she nods in approval.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; line-height: 18px;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; line-height: 18px;">She and I have had dreams of visiting a large Messianic church, called Beit Tikvah, two hours away, near Seattle. They dance for the Jewish feast days! Christlyn talks about this dream every time we get together. She wants me to experience dancing in circles within circles within circles of Messianic worship dancers. (Some day I will dance in Israel.) It is on Christlyn's “bucket list” so we HAVE to go. Then she will have completed my request to teach me everything she knows. She says, “Jenna, it is amazing. They dance the dance of Israel.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; line-height: 18px;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; line-height: 18px;">Christlyn called me for my birthday last week. As a gift she is paying fee for the Beit Tikvah Passover Seder which will be followed by about four hours of Israeli Circle Dancing. On Tuesday, March 26<sup>th</sup> we are going! Isn’t it amazing? Christlyn and I will wear blue and white and dance the dance of Israel!</span><br />
