Anointed Feet Genesis-"Rain On Us"

"Dancing for God is the greatest joy a dancer can experience.  

In God's dance there is peace, love and total surrender."

-Patricia Burnett

 
YOU MUST BE CALLED

All Praise Dancers must understand the importance of being called by God to dance (Exodus 3:1-12).  This is important, because as you begin to take this journey, you may be placed in various assignments such as leadership, mentorship, teacher and speaker.  You will not be able to hear from God as to the proper spiritual steps to take unless you have had what I call, "Your Burning Bush Experience".  This moment is the exact moment when God caused a supernatural experience that made you aware of Him calling you as a Dance Minister. Just as He did when He called Moses to lead the Israelites!(Exodus 3:1-12)

My moment was in a Spiritual Growth Class and the pastor was teaching on, "Believing God For Your Purpose".  This class went on for several weeks and it was during this time that I was praying and asking God to show me my purpose.  While sitting in this bible study, God spoke audibly to me and told me, "you are to teach".  I didn't know how to take this, but it was later revealed that I would begin a dance ministry and now I have my own ministry with two sites and a main location.  God is great and if we line up with His will for our lives, we will do great things in the Body of Christ for Him.

Here are some simple steps to insure that you have had a "Burning Bush Experience".

1. In prayer meditate on the moment it was revealed to you to dance.  Think about the surroundings. What was the weather like?  Did He have someone speak to you or did you audibly hear His voice.  Think about all the details of that moment.  Write it down, always keep a journal.
2. God always confirms His request (Isaiah 44:26). What was the moment or moments that God confirmed His calling on your life?  Again meditate on all the details.  Write it down, always keep a journal. 
3. God always takes us through a process of perfecting our calling (Ephesians 4:12).  What were the steps He gave you to perfect your calling?  Did He tell you to take classes?  Did He give you a mentor?  Did He place you in a ministry?  Whatever he has ordered since your calling would be the process of Him perfecting your gift.  Again, write it down, always keep a journal.

Remember to continually develop and strengthen your prayer life with God.  This should be your number 1 priority for always having clear direction and building your relationship and calling with Him.

Be Blessed!

Since 2006 God has used Anointed Feet to teach youth and adults about their gift in dance and how to use it technically and spiritually for Him.  Since it's inception Anointed Feet has serviced over 100 youth/adults in dance.  Our unique style of Pante-dance, mime and lyturgical dance combined, which has created a style unique to Anointed Feet only.

Anointed Feet now has two sites and one main location in the Missouri and Illinois regions.  Each year the academy presents the dance presentation, "A Sacred Evening With Anointed Feet".  This presentation ignites an anointing that causes all who come to be transformed and renewed in their spirit.

We currently have several companies that minister all over the world. Anointed Toes, "The Feet", Genesis and Revelations.  If you are ever in our area, come and be mesmerized by the anointing that God has placed on the dance ministries of Anointed Feet.  You may also invite us to your next event, we are called to do it all.

DANCE DIRECTORS:



Founder-Patricia Burnett

Patricia was inspired by God to begin the vision of Anointed Feet in 2004 at the church she was attending. By 2006, God had given her the vision to take it to the community so that more people would have the opportunity to experience His relationship in the arts.  Since beginning Anointed Feet, Patricia has implemented many classes, companies, workshops and now has 2 sites and 1 main location.  God has expanded the territory of Anointed Feet.  She never takes all the credit because this vision certainly could not have come about without the dedication and committment of the staff, volunteers, parents, donors, leadership team and total community.  There is no greater joy than seeing the faces of the many children whose lives this program has impacted.  She enjoys most hearing them refer to Anointed Feet as their foundation because this demonstrates God's mighty hand on the ministry.  If you would like to email Patricia you may do so at info@anointedfeetacademy.com.
