PraiseDance is a kind of 'exercise' created by a Sister-in-Christ at the age of 75 (if I remember correctly). She composed the songs and created the steps based on the verses in the Bible. One would be impressed, because at this age, she could do such a thing! This, is the grace and gift from God.
This exercise, not only targets on our physical health, but it also emphasises on our mind and soul. The songs and steps are based on Bible verses, thus, every move is actually an act of 'praise and worship'. It nourishes our soul, deeply.
The first impression would be that, this exercise is created for 'aunties' because those who join the PraiseDance, is mostly the 'elderly' people. I wouldn't say 'elderly' because middle-age people join as well, and most of them are women.
I remember one Uncle, who joins PraiseDance asked us, youngsters what was our opinion on PraiseDance. We replied that it's boring, it's for aunties, it's 'womanly' etc. As for myself, after giving it a try for few times, I find it a bit mundane.
God has His way to work wonders. The theme for our Church is 'Missionary Work' and a Sister from Taiwan came yesterday to share about PraiseDance, and how it works as a missionary exercise. She also taught us some moves that are beneficial to our body; and showed us a video clip describing how PraiseDance was born, and there were various people from different backgrounds sharing their personal testimony.
Seven years ago, PraiseDance started with only six people ('aunties') in Taiwan and seven years later, PraiseDance is known and practised in many countries, by the old and young, male and female, and people of all kinds of ethnicity. Wow, isn't God amazing?
Personally, I was touched by those testimonies and I was close to tears when I heard about the stories of those people who were touched by God through PraiseDance; and I have a different perception on this exercise - it is still boring, but sometimes it is the not-so-happening thing that will bring results. It is not the step that matters, what is more important is the benefit that we gain from such activity.
We work out, so that we are fitter and more healthy; our body is healthy, thus our mind is healthy. PraiseDance is different. We exercise PraiseDance so that our soul is fed with the most precious food on earth i.e. the Word of God, and with a healthy soul, we have a healthy mind and body.
Can you believe that PraiseDance is able to heal diseases? depressions? mental problems? chronic illnesses? Yes! Those people were healed by God personally just by doing the exercise. It may sound unbelievable but it is true.
When our soul is healthy, our mind is healthy; when our mind is healthy, our physical body will be healthy. This is something general that all of us are familiar with.
A doctor said, you have to know the cause of your sickness and heal the cause; if the cause is not healed, the sickness remains. Can I say, our soul, although unseen, plays a more important role in us?
Again, with a healthy soul, comes a healthy mind and body!
God bless!
