The Freedom We Know

We’re gonna dance dance dance
In the freedom we know
We’re gonna dance dance dance
In the freedom we know
We’re gonna dance dance dance
In the freedom we know
Because the freedom we know is gonna last forever!
~The Freedom We Know (from Hillsongs Mighty to Save)

Claiming complete healing for my body, deliverance for my spirit and refreshing for my soul, I sang this song and danced knowing in my heart of hearts, that He who is with me is greater than those against me.

It’s really a prophetic declaration – the dance. In the Old Testament, the dance is not done just for the heck of it; it is warfare. It is fighting the battle in the spirit realm even though in the natural, things seem without hope.

I remember when I was still in junior high school we had this prayer retreat in the outskirts of the city. In one of the nights, a classmate of ours began manifesting overt demonic oppression. Clueless on what to do, we asked our principal how we can help. She only said praise and worship. And that we did!

War is what the enemy started, and war he surely got! And to the victor, belongs all the spoils of the war!

We were dancing, singing and lifting up our hands till the wee hours of the morning. Not only our classmate was set free from the demonic forces that oppressed her, we were set free from the religious spirit as well. No more being contented with just pew-warming. It's about time we stand our ground and fight!

Not only did she receive her freedom, we were released into a different level of expressing our worship and praise unto our God.

So the next time the enemy comes and threatens of a war, stand up and lift up your hands. For the victory is ours, and the battle is the Lord's.

And realize that we dance not for ourselves but for those who can’t. We sing for those who have no song. We intercede for those whose hope seemed gone.

Let the Warrior-Bride arise!
