Save the Last Dance for Me
Oct 15
Just today, I was led to reread this vision which the
Lord gave in September last year. I felt a prompting to
re-release it as Tabernacles, the season when God is in
the midst of us, is at the door. I do not know who
created the image on the right (it was sent to me on my
mobile phone), so am unable to give credit where credit
is due, but the Lord knows who it is. I feel they have
depicted so very well His messengers as flames of fire
in these coming days, aligned to the plumbline of Heaven
in the earth. May He increase the measure of the
anointing upon this creative vessel, as all gifting is
surrendered wholly to the leading of the seven Spirits
of God.
Save the last dance for Me
Dancing with the Bridegroom to the music that is next on
Heaven’s playing list is going to be a challenge. It is
a song unlike any we have ever heard before and the
rhythm and tempo is unfamiliar – it has never before
been played on earth in your hearing. It is a song which
has been reserved for this moment in your life and this
hour in history and the Bridegroom has already written
His Name on your dance card. His request is simple –
“Save the last dance for Me”. This is not the kind of
dance the world is familiar with, where the dance
partners stand a distance from each other and gyrate out
of sync with each other in a darkened room. Nor is it
one in which all the women flood the dance floor and
dance on their own because they are tired of waiting for
the man of their dreams to come and ask them to dance.
This is a dance where there may be darkness all around
but the light of Heaven is shining upon you. This is a
dance according to old fashioned protocol. Each of us
will be dancing with the Bridegroom according to the
Spirit’s leading. Each of us will be firmly clasped in
His embrace, dancing face to face with our Beloved.
There is place for no other name on the dance cards of
our hearts at this hour. It is the dance of the Bride
with the Bridegroom, carried out before a watching world
– and in many cases, before a watching Church who has
forgotten what it means to be set apart for the
Bridegroom; believers who don’t understand what it means
to be holy and prepared as the Bride of Christ in such a
time as this. It is a dance of love that is done to
express the Father’s heart to eyes and ears that still
don’t seem to understand His message. It is a living
letter placed in the embrace of the ‘envelope’, in other
words, hidden in the arms of Christ - and from this
place, all people see is you in Christ and Christ in
you. It is a display of oneness with the heart of God
and the beauty of this union is portrayed for every
watching heart to read. The ‘envelope’, Christ the
Bridegroom is inscribed with the personal name and
address of each watching soul. It is a personal message
for each one watching – it is their invitation to follow
the Lamb wherever He goes..
So how do you dance to a song you do not know? The only
way is to rest and trust in the arms of the Bridegroom
and follow His lead. He has your back and the slightest
pressure from His left hand will guide you. He holds
your right hand and you fear no evil as He gently but
firmly guides you through the steps to the song that He
has known from before the foundations of the world.
Oh yes, beloved, it is an ancient song, composed in
honour of the Lamb who was slain, when the very plan of
salvation was conceived in the heart of God. It was
performed then, far from the ears of man, for the ears
of man had not even been formed at that time. Only the
orchestra of Heaven read the score for that music,
penned by the Spirit of grace and truth, and angels held
their breaths and wept in worship as they heard the
words for the first time, “I will go”. Holy, holy holy
is the Lord God, the Lamb. Set-apart for the purposes of
the Father is the Lamb. Even as Esther came to the
kingdom for such a time as this, so too, the Bride has
been set-apart and prepared for this moment, this dance
performed before a pagan court in intercession and
invitation for the people of God. There has been a
season of the Mordechai’s weeping and interceding at the
gate as they overheard the plans of the enemy for
destruction. But now the baton has been passed to the
Bride, the one who already has captured the King’s heart
with her beauty.
Don’t be afraid, Bride of Christ, as you hear the
opening bars of this music. Don’t falter as you take His
hand and step onto the dance floor. You know His embrace
– it is your safe shelter. Breathe in the fragrance of
the Bridegroom whom you know so very well - and trust
Him. You will not dash your foot or stumble and the
sight of you dancing with your Beloved will do more than
you know in the watching crowd.
Blind eyes, long bandaged by the lies of the spirit of
harlotry, will be opened. Chains and shackles holding
believers long in servitude to the spirit of this age
will fall open. Many souls born again into a compromised
and fleshly modern day institution, which is the only
‘church’ they know, will receive the light of the
revelation of the glory of God as you display for them
the beauty of holiness in a prepared and adorned Bride.
Your life speaks more than you know – without a single
word from your lips. You are a living letter, displayed
before men whom the Father’s heart is yearning for. You
may not even be able to hear the words of the song
because you are so intent on following His lead step by
step. But everyone watching it can hear the strains deep
within their own softening hearts – “Come away with Me,
My love”. Through your dance with Him, the Spirit is
wooing others to come and follow the Bridegroom in this
holy dance. Your very dance is writing lyrics on the
hearts of all around you. They want to dance this dance
too…
It’s time. All the other dances are over. All your dance
partners have had their turn. They admired your beauty
and longed to hold you in their embrace and like eager
suitors they queued up for a chance to ‘own’ the Bride
and make her dance to their chosen tune, work with their
ministry and play a part in their vision –giving impetus
to what they have wanted to build for God and display
before the eyes of men. But now it’s time for the last
song – it’s the turn of Heaven at last. Now it’s time to
step into your God-appointed place, hidden in Christ,
for the last dance. Christ in you is the hope of glory.
You hidden in Christ releases the glory. Now the dance
card can be put down and all those names and other
dances forgotten. It’s time as Paul said, to lay hold of
that for which Christ laid hold of you. Can you see your
Bridegroom standing before you with a twinkle in His
eye, saying those old familiar words, “May I have this
dance?”
In the balconies of Heaven, saints who have danced this
holy dance before you are leaning over excitedly and
jostling for a place, to have the best view. They are so
excited as they watch the latest addition to the Bride
of Christ moving to the tune they know so well. Heaven’s
scribes are busy recording the news – “it’s happening
again, it’s what all Heaven has been waiting for –
another wave of harvest is about to come in. prepare the
halls of Heaven for we are soon to welcome the final
harvest. The song of the reapers has begun”….and as they
watch this dance, they are moved to tears with the
beauty of the Word made flesh in you, moving to no
earthly song. And the fragrance of your complete
surrender and trust as you step into His arms, ravishes
your Bridegroom’s heart. You have eyes for no-one else.
Like Moses of old, you gaze steadfastly on Him who is
invisible. Dance with all your heart, Beautiful Bride
and see the hearts of stone be turned to flesh all
around you.
Selah
Son 4:8 Come away with me from Lebanon, my [promised]
bride, come with me from Lebanon. Depart from the top of
Amana, from the peak of Senir and Hermon, from the
lions' dens, from the mountains of the leopards. Son 4:9
You have ravished my heart and given me courage, my
sister, my [promised] bride; you have ravished my heart
and given me courage with one look from your eyes, with
one jewel of your necklace. Son 4:10 How beautiful is
your love, my sister, my [promised] bride! How much
better is your love than wine! And the fragrance of your
ointments than all spices!
